London and the Reception of Modernist Ideas
Authors: Butler Christopher 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
In this chapter I am going to discuss the reactions of some English artists to Modernist ideas, in a city without much avant-garde tradition and inhibited by a conservative opposition with a proven reputation for outrage. This will allow us to sample a very small number of the many reactions against Modernist activity. There is nevertheless an intense theoretical debate in England, which echoes European concerns, concerning the significance of Post-Impressionist painting, which is followed by a rather bemused reaction to Futurist dogma and the speculative thinking of Kandinsky. This led to ail alliance between the visual arts and literature in the Vorticist movement, of which Pound declared Picasso to be the classic ‘father’ and Kandinsky the romantic ‘mother’.
Los and Jerusalem
Authors: Otto Peter 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Jerusalemconsists of four chapters—one hundred plates and two thousand lines—which are linked in an (almost] invariable chain: each chapter is preceded by a full page engraving; the poem begins and ends with a full page illumination; each chapter is framed by half-page designs, and the written text opens and closes with the word ‘Jerusalem’. Jerusalemis without doubt an extremely ‘ORDERD RACE’ (26, E171). This regular, measured form suggests that the subject matter of Jerusalemwill be organized according to an absolute time such as that proposed by Newton in the Principia.2On this level, Jerusalemappears to be a remarkable product of the horological revolution; it is a timepiece capable of measuring out the linear succession of ‘nows’ which characterize chrono-logical and everyday time. In Jerusalem,one could argue, the transparence of Milton’sapocalypse has been supplanted by opacity. Jerusalemhas failed to materialize the promise extended by its prelude.
Chaucer
Authors: Bennett S H 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Geoffrey Chaucer was a product of that fourteenth-century world of affairs which produced such a wealth of good business men throughout this and the next century. The East Anglian counties were their headquarters, and the Chaucer family first come before our notice as vintners living in Ipswich. There the poet’s grandfather, Robert Chaucer, his step-grandfather, Richard, and his father, John, were all vintners—that is wine-merchants—on a considerable scale. The evidence available all goes to show that they were a flourishing family with substantial wealth and property, and had by marriage acquired further property in London. Indeed, Chaucer’s father, John, was evidently an important person in the civic life of London, for his name frequently occurs in the city documents and he was also an officer of the customs (as his father and stepfather before him) charged with the office of collecting the duty on wines at various south coast ports.
Shelley
Authors: Jack Ian 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
It is a paradox that Shelley is often described as a ‘pure poet’.1 In fact, as Mary Shelley pointed out, he combined two qualities of intellect that are not often associated in so high a development: ‘a brilliant imagination’ and ‘a logical exactness of reason’. As a consequence he ‘deliberated at one time whether he should dedicate himself to poetry or metaphysics’, and it can only have been after anxious consideration that he decided to be a poet. Although we are told that he then began to educate himself for poetry by ‘engaging …in the study of the poets of Greece, Italy, and England’, it is possible to exaggerate the extent to which he discarded ‘his philosophical pursuits’. When he was at work on Prometheus Unbound he could still tell Peacock that he considered poetry ‘very subordinate to moral and political science’, adding that he would have devoted himself to the latter study if he had been more robust. This makes it the less surprising that he is one of the most didactic of all our poets.
Clare And The Minor Poets
Authors: Jack Ian 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The most striking feature of this period is the contrast between the wealth of poetic talent and the shortage of satisfactory poems. Whereas in the early seventeenth century almost any educated man seems to have been able to produce one or two tolerable lyrics, two hundred years later we find men of unmistakable poetic ability who failed to produce a single good poem. It is as if the poetry were spilt between the poet and the poem that should have contained it. What makes Clare exceptional is that he was not merely a man with a gift for poetry, like Darley or John Hamilton Reynolds: he was a poet who produced one volume of poems—The Shepherd’s Calendar—that ranks with all but the greatest in our language, and who also wrote a handful of visionary lyrics that leave a resonance in the mind like that set up by Blake’s Songs of Innocence and Experience.
The Literary Scene In 1832
Authors: Jack Ian 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
In the year 1819 an Italian spy reported that Byron belonged to a secret society called the ‘Societa Romantica’, that he was in the habit of writing ‘poetry of this new school’, and that he had composed ‘certain rules, entitled “Statutes of the Joyous Company”‘. Like the spy, foreign historians of our literature have long taken it for granted that Byron belonged to the Romantic Movement; and some of them have even attempted to formulate the ‘certain rules’ of the Company—though none of them seems to have called it Joyous. English literary historians have usually followed their lead, though with greater caution. Since the word ‘romantic’ has not been used in this book—except in one or two quotations—something must now be said to explain this abstention. I do not wish to argue that the word is useless, but merely that the idea that there was a Romantic Movement in· England at this time is accompanied by certain dangers-above all the danger that it tempts us to over-simplify the complicated literary landscape of the age.
Introduction
Authors: Birch Sarah 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
This book is the first full-length study of the novels of Christine Brooke-Rose. It aims to provide a coherent overview of her fictional muvre and to map her place in the field of contemporary literature. Brooke-Rose has been widely recognized as one of Britain’s most innovative contemporary writers. The dismantling of systems, conventions, and readers’ expectations is at the heart of all her fiction; the goal of her novels is to teach people to see things anew, to look behind the discursive and social systems which naturalize convention, and to question this process of naturalization. It is not surprising, then, that she should be a difficult novelist to categorize. Indeed, despite the fact that she is a British writer, Brooke-Rose has been consistently identified with the nouveau roman and subsequent movements in the French novel since she began writing criticism of contemporary French fiction in the 1960s. I shall examine why this has been so, to what extent it is a relevant classification, and what an alternative approach might entail.
The Early Novels: A Prologue to Experiment
Authors: Birch Sarah 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The direction the English novel was to take in the post-war era was the subject of much discussion in the late 1950s when Christine Brooke-Rose began her career as a novelist. But while her novels of this period-The Languages of Love (1957), The Sycamore Tree (1958), The Dear Deceit (1960), and The Middlemen (1961)-are in many respects typical products of their generation, they raise a number of issues which it was not possible to articulate within the parameters of the contemporary debate. The novels enjoyed a limited success, but because most novelists were concerned at the time to redefine the relation of the individual to society in terms of changing values, it was all too easy for readers to focus on the social dimension of Brooke-Rose’s fiction and to overlook those aspects which can in retrospect be seen to prefigure the problems and techniques of her later work. This was possible mainly because the capacity for viewing personal identity in terms of language and ‘languages’, which was to become the hallmark of her work from the 1960s onward, is integrated in the early novels into a realist narrative mode. Thus, despite the fact that they exhibit an increasing frustration with the novelistic discourse of the period, her first four novels did not succeed in significantly altering fictional convention.
Flaubert and the Pictorial Arts
Authors: Tooke Adrianne 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
This is the first book ever to be written about the relationship between Flauberts writing and pictorial art. Flauberts responses to a wide range of pictorial images, from classical to popular, were both powerful and ambivalent, with insights, in many instances, of an extraordinary modernity, and intuitions of an art of the future. This study traces the processes by which pictorial art penetrates the very fibre of Flauberts writing. Viewed by Flaubert as the sister art, pictorial art is for him both rival and foil. This study casts significant new light on the poetic system of a major writer, and adds a new dimension to the study of the literary and aesthetic sensibilities of the mid-nineteenth century.
Introduction
Authors: Davis Colin , Fallaize Elizabeth 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Reports of the demise of the French novel have so far proved to be premature. The competition of other media, especially film and television, has so far not been as fatal as some have anticipated. In fact many authors have found productive accommodations with these media, cashing the cheques for film scripts or filmed versions of their novels, publicizing their latest works through television and the press, borrowing and adapting images, themes, and structures from popular culture in their literary works. Patrick Modiano is a case in point: his novels often play upon the reader’s familiarity with popular culture, especially detective fiction; and he has been actively involved in film-making, having co-written a film script (Lacombe Lucien, co-written and directed by Louis Malle), allowed his work to be filmed (Villa Triste), and he has even acted on screen himself, playing Catherine Deneuve’s ex-husband in Raul Ruiz’s Genealogies d’un crime. If, as has frequently been alleged, fiction is in crisis, then it is a crisis which has been going on for centuries; it is the condition of the novel’s continuity and the source of its vitality. And if there is no Proust or Balzac today, then neither was there a Proust living in 1840 or a Balzac in 1910. It is not for us to decide, and it is certainly not our intention in this book to attempt to predict, which of the writers of more recent decades will still be considered worth reading in fifty years’ time. The aim of the current book is to analyse some of the most important and interesting directions in recent French fiction through detailed discussions of a selection of texts, all published during François Mitterrand’s period as President of the Fifth Republic (1981—95).
Detective fictions: Daniel Pennae’s Au bonheur des ogres (1985)
Authors: Davis Colin , Fallaize Elizabeth 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
A bomb explodes in a Parisian department store. An elderly man is killed; Benjamin Malaussène, an employee of the store, witnesses the explosion but is unharmed. Police investigations prove fruitless. A second bomb explodes in the store, this time killing an elderly brother and sister; Malaussène witnesses the explosion but is unharmed. A third explosion kills an elderly man; Malaussene witnesses the explosion but is unharmed. For the fourth explosion, which perhaps unsurprisingly kills an elderly man, Malaussène is not present, but one of his sisters is near the scene. Malaussène is the principal suspect of the police and his fellow employees; interrogated by the former, he is also subjected to a vicious beating by a group of the latter. Only his dysfunctional family and a certain police Commissioner Coudrier, who shares his passion for good coffee, seem to accept his protestations of innocence. Eventually, however, the truth emerges. By the time the fifth bomb explodes, killing an elderly man whilst Malaussène looks on unharmed, it has become clear that Malaussène is not the perpetrator but the victim of the crimes: an innocent bystander, a saint even, whom a group of cannibalistic devil-worshippers with astrological leanings has decided to discredit by making him seem responsible for what are in fact their suicides. His innocence established, Malaussène can go home to his family of half-brothers and half-sisters. Finally, their mother returns, pregnant once again, and unaccompanied by her next child’s father.
Ingeborg Bachmann, Simultan (1972)
Authors: Haines Brigid , Littler Margaret 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The title of Ingeborg Bachmann’s second volume of short stories points at once to one of her most enduring concerns, that of the limitations of language in a post-Holocaust world. Simultaneous interpreting implies a faith in the transparency of language and the transmissibility of meaning, a faith called into question by the unspeakable horrors perpetrated by National Socialism. At the same time the female narrative voice and the focus on the everyday details of women’s lives ground her perspective on recent Austrian history in a gendered subjective experience which is of particular interest to feminism. Ingeborg Bachmann was born in 1926 in Klagenfurt in the Austrian province of Carinthia, in the so-called ‘Dreilandereck’ (‘three-countries comer’) bordering on Yugoslavia (now Slovenia) and Italy.
Introduction: Dialogue, Ethics, Poetry
Authors: Eskin Michael 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Dialogue and Ethics-two terms rife with diverging, if not, at times, contradictory meanings; two terms capturing those aspects of human reality which have called for the depiction of human beings as political beings. One need only think of the differences between Aristotle’s eudaimonistic and Kant’s deontological conceptions of ethics, or Herder’s mentalistic and Benveniste’s pragmatic approaches to dialogue.
Mikhail Bakhtin: The Metalinguistics of Dialogue
Authors: Eskin Michael 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Reading Bakhtin’s and Levinas’s works side by side is not only philosophically plausible given both thinkers’ overall preoccupation with dialogue and otherness, but, more importantly, foregrounds their complementarity within an overall dialogic framework. As I have mentioned in my Introduction, because Levinas and Bakhtin investigate the same unitary phenomenon-dialogic reality-from two distinct phenomenological perspectives, only a synoptic reading of their works yields an integral picture of that social domain which undergoes a theoretical split in their writings.
Identities at a Distance: Markers of National Identity in the Video Diaries of Second Generation Spanish Migrants in London
Authors: Mateo Cristina 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
This chapter will discuss the markers of ethnic identity displayed by second generation Spanish migrants in London (the sons and daughters of economic migrants who came to England in the early 1960s), illustrated by video diaries made by them at my request. Volunteers were located by word of mouth through teachers and students at the Spanish School in Portobello, lecturers in Spanish departments at universities in London, and acquaintances who had contacts with second generation members of the Spanish commun ity. Once individuals expressed an interest, I arranged to meet them and explained that I would lend them my home video camera for a period of one month. The only instruction was to record a series of everyday scenes of their choice in order to illustrate their lives.
Not Writing Straight, but Not Writing Queer: Popular Castilian ‘Gay’ Fiction
Authors: Perriam Chris 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The 1990s saw the beginnings of a mini boom of publication and consumption of paperback novels about and for men who have sex with men in Spain. Like many narratives of the more established traditions of Valencia and Barcelona (Fernàndez 2000; Guasch 1991: 80–1; Smith 1992: 42–128), the three Castilian first person narratives which I take as examples here break with the ‘difficult’, exoticizing, and florid narratives (by, respectively, Juan Goytisolo, Álvaro Pombo, Luis Antonio de Villena, Antonio Gala, Terenci Moix—in part) which began selling homosexual lives, or, rather, structures of feeling, to middle class readers in the 1980s. My focus will be on Carlos Sanrune’s 1992 El gladiador de Chueca [The Gladiator of Chueca] (published by Laertes—promoters of Alberto Cardín and Lluís Fernàndez among others—and classed in the 1998 catalogue of Madrid lesbian and gay bookshop Berkana as their top seller), Antonio Jiménez Ariza’s 1996 La sinfonía de los veleros varados [Symphony of Stranded Sailboats] (published by Berkana and Barcelona based Cómplice’s new offshoot company Egales), and Miguel Martín’s 1997 Diario de una impostura [Diary of an Imposture] (again, Laertes). In choosing these texts, my intention is in part to extend the recent pioneering literary historical project undertaken by Martínez Expósito (1998): the establishing of the parameters and dynamics of a Spanish genre of writing conformed by and about homosexuality.
Fiesta Culture in Madrid Posters, 1934–1955
Authors: Parsons Deborah 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
In the 1980s, particularly under the Socialist government of Felipe González (1982–95), Spain was at the forefront of a continental trend towards investment in heritage and cultural regeneration. Even before the Socialist Party’s national electoral victory, the Socialist City Council of Madrid, under its charismatic mayor Enrique Tierno Galván (1979–86), revived the city’s celebrations for carnaval and expanded the Fiesta de San Isidro to involve a variety of both traditional and new cultural events. Such contemporary regeneration has also prompted an interest in the history of popular culture, and in 1991 Madrid’s Museo Municipal presented an exhibition of over one hundred posters designed to advertise the city’s fiesta celebrations under the Republic and from 1947 to the present. These offer a vivid chronicle of cultural heritage in its popular and public form, and its role within the self identity of Madrid in the mid and late twentieth century (in the Franco period, as we shall see, the identity of Madrid will be submerged beneath the construction of a ‘universal’ and timeless ‘Spanishness’).
Bagpipes and Digital Music: The Remixing of Galician Identity
Authors: Toro Xelís de 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
With the granting of autonomy to Galicia in 1981, questions of identity became less focused on nationalist politics and were incorporated into more open public debate. Activities seen as representing a kind of Galicianness started to enjoy official support in order to give an impetus to the new institutions of the Xunta de Galicia. Symbols and marks of identity formerly used only in Galician nationalist dis course started to be appropriated, and in some cases reformulated and refashioned, by the new institutions which throughout have been under the control of the conservative Partido Popular. The resulting process, centred on the written language, national symbols, and even the names of the new institutions, has been complex and dogged by controversy (Cores Trasmonte 1986). Within this context, the playing of bagpipes has experienced a steady growth, becoming prominent in Galician music of the 1990s.
Spanish Quality TV? The Periodistas Notebook
Authors: Smith Paul Julian 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Like Raymond Williams, recently arrived in Miami and dazzled by the unaccustomed spectacle of US television, the literary or film scholar might be forgiven for disorientation when venturing into TV studies. Stephen Heath has also decried the ‘extension, availability, [and] proximity’ of television, ‘all of which is played out on its screen from show to show in the endless flow’ (Heath 1990: 297; Corner 1999: 69). Whereas a novel or film is clearly delimited in length, available only from approved agents, and formally separate from the times and spaces of everyday life, the twenty four hour, domesticated rhythm of television is inseparable from the modern experience it has both reflected and created.
Two Names
Authors: Smith G S 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The Russia in which Mirsky grew up, between the recovery from the Crimean war and the war against Japan in 1904-5, was a mighty world power.1 Formally, the country was an absolute monarchy, and as such widely held by natives and foreigners alike to be an embarrassing anachronism. Mirsky’s father and several close male relatives on both sides of his family were highly placed members of the tiny elite that governed it, and his mother moved in Court circles; their son was inevitably brought up to follow in his father’s footsteps. Mirsky’s sense of his country’s status was fundamental to his mentality; and he was never allowed to forget his origins even if he wished to himself.
The Temporality of the Event
Authors: Crowley Martin 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
In the opening section of Hiroshima mon amour, the French actress and her Japanese lover debate the status of the traumatic event for which the name ‘Hiroshima’ forms a kind of desperate shorthand. Is it possible to know such an event? Or to remember it? Can it be reconstructed, for those to whom it has always represented an alien experience? Or does it represent a radically alien experience, even to those to whom it has happened? Is it, by virtue of its status as trauma, beyond such categories as knowledge, memory, and recon-struction? In this debate, the museum in Hiroshima becomes the very figure of reconstruction, embodying the simultaneous impossibility and necessity with the traumatic event.
The Western European Context from the Fourth Century to the Eleventh
Authors: Fernie Eric 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
By any material yardstick, between the fourth and sixth centuries AD western Europe suffered a decline of catastrophic proportions in comparison with the social provisions of the Roman Empire over the preceding 400 years. Even the less well-off inhabitants of Rome in the second century could expect to have enough to eat, dean water for cooking and washing, access to law, and some freedom from random violence. By the sixth century none of these conditions applied: the aqueducts no longer worked, food supplies were precarious at best and public security non-existent, with the result that the population was reduced to a fraction of its previous size. In addition, there is dear evidence of a breakdown in education, not least in mathematics and those crafts which made hydraulic engineering possible.
England, 1066 to the Late Twelfth Century
Authors: Fernie Eric 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The norman conquest was ‘the vengeance of God and the Norman disaster and the overthrow of England’ for Adam of Bremen, writing a few years after the event. This assessment of the Conquest as marking a great break in the history of England has, if in less apocalyptic form, been accepted by most historians ever since. It has recently been challenged as an example of a kind of analysis which concentrates on political explanations and the actions of elites, and has been replaced by the study of a mass of details which add up to explanations of society as a whole and the experience of the majority of the population. In these terms, the year 1066 is seen as having no special significance. This is an important reassessment, but, whatever the case may be in other areas of life, the architectural evidence indicates that for large sections of the population the effects of the Conquest were dramatic, far-reaching, and visible.
