Philosophical Siblings: Varieties of Playful Experience in Alice, William, and Henry James
This collective study of the James siblings—Alice, William, and Henry—lights up their shared intellectual project: showing how minds meet in a world teeming with possibilities and risks. Philosophical Siblings offers a fresh way of thinking about literary encounters, one that approaches even the most iconic texts with serious lightness
Who Counts? Old Age in Covid Times
People over sixty-five have been singled out as a uniquely vulnerable risk group for the novel coronavirus. Yet the discourse of risk obscures (and exacerbates) socially created dangers of congregate care in the United States: poorly paid workers holding down multiple jobs and the endemic “plagues” of loneliness, boredom, and hopelessness.

Ian McEwan's Neurological Novel
Drawing on cognitive science, literary critics such as Mark Turner have affirmed that for human beings thinking is crucially bound up with narrative.

Emotive Realism
Emotive Realism Jane F. Thrailkill (bio) Since the 1980s, scholars of U. S. literature and culture have tended to focus on the "problem" and the "failed promise" of American literary realism.1 As Amy Kaplan has noted, this critical retrenchment was provoked by the "perceived failure or impossibility of mimesis" on the part of critics schooled during the late 70s and 80s (6).
