A tale of two Dickenses
Over the years, a small industry has sprung up dedicated to preserving writers’ homes and birthplaces, offering the chance to see first-hand the circumstances under which their key texts were written. Experiencing an insight into, say, Wordsworth’s Dove Cottage, or Hardy’s Wessex cottage, or the Bronte parsonage in Haworth, is widely held to be an educational experience, enhancing our appreciation of the link between the life and work of the auth…
New Directions in Philosophy and Literature
This forward-thinking reference volume draws on new developments in philosophy including speculative realism, object-oriented ontology, the new materialisms, posthumanism, analytic philosophy of language and metaphysics, and ecophilosophy alongside close readings of a range of texts from the literary canon

What did cavell want of poe
In a lecture given at Stanford some years ago, Stanley Cavell added his name to the list of thinkers who have endeavoured to read Poe philosophically, an impressive list that already included Derrida, Lacan, and Barbara Johnson.1 Yet Cavell’s engagement with Poe does not amount to a ‘‘reading’’ in any straightforward, positivistic sense of the term. Focusing largely on one of Poe’s lesser known stories, ‘‘The Imp of the Perverse,’’2 he gives thre…
