Literary Studies 3 GOTHIC Tales of the Troubled Dead Ghost Stories in Cultural History Catherine Belsey Considers the ways ghost stories appeal to our uneasy relationship with conventional good sense What do they want, the ghosts that, even in the age of science, still haunt our storytelling? Catherine Belsey’s answer to the question traces Gothic writing and tales of the uncanny from the ancient past to the present – from Homer and the Icelandic sagas to Lincoln in the Bardo. Taking Shakespeare’s Ghost in Hamlet as a turning point in the history of the genre, she uncovers the old stories the play relies on, as well as its influence on later writing. This ghostly trail is vividly charted through accredited records of apparitions and fiction by such writers as Ann Radcliffe, Washington Irving, Emily Brontë, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Henry James, M. R. James and Susan Hill. In recent blockbusting movies, too, ghost stories bring us fragments of news from the unknown. ‘an engaging examination of the persistence of these shivery tales in the western canon’ Erica Wagner, The Financial Times

VICTORIAN LIBERALISM AND MATERIAL CULTURE MATERIAL AND LIBERALISM VICTORIAN Byron and The Case of Sherlock An interdisciplinary study of British liberalism in the nineteenth century BYRON AND Marginality Holmes Victorian Liberalism and Material Culture assesses the unexplored links between Victorian material culture and political theory. It seeks to transform the understanding of Victorian liberalism’s key conceptual metaphor: that the mind of an individuated MARGINALITY Edited by Norbert Lennartz Secrets and Lies in Conan subject is private space. Focusing on the environments inhabited by four Victorian writers and intellectuals, it delineates how the commitment of John Stuart Mill, Matthew Arnold, John Morley and Robert Browning to liberalism was shaped by or manifested Doyle’s Detective Fiction through the physical spaces in which each worked. The book also asserts the centrality of the embodied experience of actual people to Victorian political thought.

Literary Studies 23 MODERNISM
24 edinburghuniversitypress.com MODERNISM The Edinburgh Companion to Irish Modernism Edited by Maud Ellmann, University of Chicago, Sian White, James Madison University and Vicki Mahaffey, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Redefines Irish modernism as resistance to religious, sociopolitical and aesthetic orthodoxies This Edinburgh Companion proposes 1907 as the starting date for Irish modernism: the year when Pope Pius X denounced 65 ‘modernist’ propositions as heresies. The introduction to this volume explores the connections between modernism in the arts and Modernism as a resistant, liberal, relativist and heretical movement within the Catholic Church that was gathering momentum in the same period. In religion as in culture, resistance to orthodoxy has persisted to the present day, and for this reason the Companion assigns no termination date to modernism. The 28 newly commissioned chapters widen the temporal, conceptual, generic and geographical definitions of Irish modernism by investigating crosscurrents between literary form and cultural transformation through the twentieth and twenty first centuries.

52 edinburghuniversitypress.com Modern American Literature SERIES and the New Twentieth Century Series Editors: Martin Halliwell and Mark Whalan edinburghuniversitypress.com/series/MALTNTC
This series seeks to critically question boundaries and concepts that have come to define the production, reception and appropriation of modern American literature. Its focus on technique looks both inwards to the craft and form of writing, and outwards to interdisciplinary approaches to literary production within a matrix of cultural practices. Focusing on perspectives that help to better understand the shifting aesthetic, historical, geographical and ideological values of the terms ‘new’ and ‘modern’, this series takes a revisionist approach to twentieth- century literary production in the United States.
