        Women and madness in the early Romantic novel

        Injured minds, ruined lives

        by Deborah Weiss

        Women and madness in the early Romantic novel returns madness to a central role in feminist literary criticism through an updated exploration of hysteria, melancholia, and love-madness in novels by Mary Wollstonecraft, Eliza Fenwick, Mary Hays, Maria Edgeworth, and Amelia Opie. This book argues that these early Romantic-period novelists revised medical and popular sentimental models for female madness that made inherent female weakness and the aberrant female body responsible for women's mental afflictions. The book explores how the more radical authors-Wollstonecraft, Fenwick and Hays-blamed men and patriarchal structures of control for their characters' hysteria and melancholia, while the more mainstream writers-Edgeworth and Opie-located causality in less gendered and less victimized accounts. Taken as a whole, the book makes a powerful case for focusing on women's mental health in eighteenth- and nineteenth- century literary criticism.

        Adapting Frankenstein

        The monster's eternal lives in popular culture

        by Dennis R. Cutchins, Dennis R. Perry

        Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is one of the most popular novels in western literature. It has been adapted and re-assembled in countless forms, from Hammer Horror films to young-adult books and bandes dessinées. Beginning with the idea of the 'Frankenstein Complex', this edited collection provides a series of creative readings that explore the elaborate intertextual networks that make up the novel's remarkable afterlife. It broadens the scope of research on Frankenstein while deepening our understanding of a text that, 200 years after its original publication, continues to intrigue and terrify us in new and unexpected ways.

        Kunst und Erfahrung

        Beiträge zu einer philosophischen Kontroverse

        by Stefan Deines, Jasper Liptow, Martin Seel

        Welche Rolle spielen Wahrnehmung und Erfahrung für unseren Umgang mit Kunst? Gibt es eine spezifisch ästhetische Erfahrung? Und wenn ja, wie lässt sie sich begrifflich bestimmen? Von Antworten auf diese Fragen hängt nicht nur das Schicksal vieler Theorien der Kunst ab, sondern letztlich das Schicksal der Ästhetik selbst, insofern sie mit dem Anspruch auftritt, als Theorie einer besonderen Form der Erfahrung Aufschluss über das Wesen der Kunst zu geben. Der Band versammelt prominente Autoren sowohl der »kontinentalen« als auch der »analytischen« Ästhetik, die den Zusammenhang von Kunst und Erfahrung aus systematischer Perspektive beleuchten, darunter Georg W. Bertram, Noël Carroll, Jerrold Levinson, Martin Seel, Eva Schürmann und James Shelley.

        Reading, writing and the influence of Harold Bloom

        by Alan Rawes and Jonathon Shears

        Reading, writing and the influence of Harold Bloom takes the work of the world's best-known living literary critic and discovers what it is like to read 'with', 'against' and 'beyond' his ideas. The editors, Alan Rawes and Jonathon Shears, introduce the collection by assessing the impact of Bloom's brand of agonistic criticism on literary critics and its ongoing relevance to a discipline attempting to redefine and settle on its collective goals. Firmly grounded in, though not confined to, Bloom's first specialism of Romantic Studies, the volume contains essays that examine Bloom's debts to high Romanticism, his quarrels with feminism, his resistance to historicism, the tensions with the 'Yale School' and his recent work on Shakespeare and genius. Crucially, chapters are also devoted to putting Bloom's anxiety-themed ratios into practice on the poetry of Wordsworth, Shelley, Keats and D. H. Lawrence, amongst others. The Harold Bloom that emerges from this collection is by turns divisive and unifying, marginalised and central, radical and conservative.
