The Colony

 

Maraid watches her son, James, striding out across the grass, a bottle of milk for each of their visitors in hand. her mother-in-law still knits socks for men who will never wear them. The visitors are here to paint, to record, to celebrate - so they say - this island and its purity, the language all but vanished across the water.

The Cambridge Companion to the Literature of New Orleans

This book will interest readers whose imagination has been sparked by one of the most storied cities in the world – New Orleans – and give those readers useful contexts and perspectives for exploring its vast literary treasures, from the established classics to those extraordinary works known only locally.

Changing the Climate at the Fin de Siecle

Rigorously contextualized by the climate events, science, and technology of the nineteenth century, this study compares how canonical figures such as Mark Twain and neglected authors such as Rokeya Hossain represented global climate control as an apocalyptic, utopian, and literary invention long before the advent of 'global warming'.

The Mysteries of Modern Life

This book offers an innovative new theory of mystery fiction that counters the standard critical view of its inherent conservatism. It argues that the modern mystery's radical exploration of the difficulties of reading the world teaches readers to distrust immediate perceptions and to scrutinize the assumptions through which we see.
