Moving through the elegiac ruins of the Berlin Wall and the Yugoslav disintegration, Writing Postcommunism explores literary evocations of the pervasive disappointment and mourning that have marked the postcommunist twilight.

By the second year of the war, though, when the Union army was in desperate need of black...

Three and a half centuries after Paradise Lost and Paradise Regain'd were written, do Milton's epic poems still resonate with contemporary concerns? In Milton's Leveller God, David Williams advances a progressive and democratic interpretation of Milton's epics to show they are more relevant than ever.

Contrary to popular belief, the Father is not creator, but his wisdom does underlie it;...
