Editing Experiment: The New Modernist Editing and Dorothy Richardson's Pilgrimage
This article examines the challenges experimental writing poses for textual editing, drawing on the experience of the Dorothy Richardson Editions Project, which was inaugurated in 2007 with the aim of producing new scholarly editions of Richardson's fiction and letters. Here we focus on Richardson's thirteen-volume novel sequence Pilgrimage (1915–67) and the particular problems its constantly unfolding experimental aesthetic present for both the …
Experience not consciousness, backwaters not streams: Dorothy Richardson's “investigation of reality”
When May Sinclair used the phrase “stream of consciousness” to describe Dorothy Richardson's long narrative, Pilgrimage , she could not have predicted that phrase would become a sweeping description for a whole category of early twentieth‐century texts. However, while Richardson never denied consciousness was her subject, she conceived a lifelong dislike, sometimes expressed as an explicit hatred, of the metaphor of the stream. Rather than develo…
Sensational internationalism: The Paris commune and the remapping of American memory in the long nineteenth century
Few historical events have been as profoundly marked by the politics of forgetting as the Paris Commune. As recently as this year, wandering through the cobbled streets of la Butte aux Cailles dist
The Commune in Exile: Urban Insurrection and the Production of International Space
In Chapter 11 of J.-K. Huysmans’s A Rebours (1884; usually translated as Against Nature), Des Esseintes, its reclusive hero, inspired by reading Charles Dickens, leaves home with the intention of visiting London. He never arrives. Instead, he succeeds in experiencing the whole of London, England, and English culture in Paris, without even getting on the train. Wearing a suit made in London and placing ‘a small bowler on his head’, he envelops him…
A gravity model of remittance determinants: Evidence from Latin America and the Caribbean
A gravity model of remittance determinants: evidence from Latin America and the Caribbean. Regional Studies. This paper constructs a microeconomic model of the motivation for remittances and uses it to explore the macroeconomic determinants. In addition, a new measure of bilateral remittances is used to estimate a gravity model of remittances for 27 Latin American and Caribbean countries and 18 industrialized countries. The results suggest remitt…
The Long Modernist Novel: An Introduction
Introductory essay for the special issue of Modernist Cultures, edited by Scott McCracken and Jo Winning
The Mood of Defeat
Although the mood of defeat is usually seen as physically and emotionally debilitating, many historians and, philosophers have argued, that, the defeated, are in a better position, to understand, history. In, the words of the historian, Reinhart Koselleck, 'If history is made in. the short, run, by the victors, historical gains in knowledge stem in. the long run from the vanquished'. But, the requirement, for distance evades the interesting quest…
Introducing Cultural Studies
A rapidly changing world – in part driven by huge transformations in technology and mobility - means we all encounter shifting cultures, and new cultural and social interactions daily. Powerful forces such as consumption and globalization exert an enormous influence on all walks and levels of life across both space and time. Cultural Studies remains at the vanguard of consideration of these issues. This completely revised second edition of Introd…
The Cambridge Companion to Popular Fiction
Popular commercial fiction emerged in the nineteenth century, with serialised novels and sensational penny dreadfuls. Today it remains a multi-million dollar industry giving pleasure to many, but it is also a field of growing interest for scholars and students of literature. This Companion covers the major developments in the history of popular fiction, with specially commissioned chapters on pulp fiction, bestsellers, and comics and graphic narr…
Voyages by teashop: An urban geography of modernism
Everyday Contradictions
Random Patterns, Flashes of Insight: Walter Benjamin's Arcades Project
In 1870, the aging French revolutionary, Louis-Auguste Blanqui, had his secret army, the Blanquists, parade before him on the Champs-Elyses. Their presence went unnoticed in the city crowd
Cultural Politics at the Fin de Siècle
Cultural Politics at the Fin de Siècle scrutinises ways in which current conflicts of 'race', class, and gender have their origins in the cultural politics of the last fin de siècle, whose influence stretched from the 1890s, when economic depression signalled the end of Britain's role as 'the workshop of the world', to 1914 when world war accelerated imperial decline. This collaborative venture by new and established scholars includes discussion …
