The Cambridge History of the British Essay
From ancient influences on the essay as a form of rhetoric to the Irish essay as performance, from British imperial propaganda to African postcolonial resistance, from political pamphlets to the rise of literary professionalism, from gastronomy to ecocriticism, The Cambridge History of the British Essay offers the first authoritative single-volume history of the form's development within the British literary tradition. It restores to the contempo…
Race Under Erasure
Race Under Erasure Margaret Russett (bio) Writing is the destruction of every voice, of every point of origin. Writing is that neutral, composite, oblique space where our subject slips away, the negative where all identity is lost, starting with thevery identity of the body writing. —Roland Barthes1 The novelist must accept his or her life as fact, realizing that it makes no difference whether someone proclaims or even believes that he or she is …
Pera Palas (review)
Although first produced in 1997, Pera Palas is a remarkably apt commentary on the post-September 11, 2001 moment.

The case of De Quincey, neither a canonical figure nor a disenfranchised marginal author, offers a point of access to specifically Romantic problems o…
The Historicity of Romantic Discourse
This provocative critique of Romantic discourse will profoundly affect how readers perceive not only the Romantic writers, but also their most celebrated modern critics - such as de Man, Hartman, and McGann - who are, the author argues, themselves unwitting captives of the ideas and writings they criticize. With the Romantic redefinition of the self as a mind that grows, writing became an expressive index to that growth: the product, as we still …
