"The Stuff That Dreams Are Made On is a clear, straightforward treatment--free of academic and psychoanalytic jargon--of Jungian literary criticism. Snider's introduction is not only a first rate exposition of Jungian literary theory, but a lucid explanation of Jungian psychology as well. Particularly valuable is his chapter on Carson McCullers. All in all, a solid piece of critical work." -David Peck, professor of English and American Studies, author of Novels of Initiation

Markus Kuhn entwirft mit seiner Filmnarratologie den bisher umfassendsten Ansatz zur erzahltheoretischen Analyse des Spielfilms und legt damiterstmals ein systematisches und theoretisch koharentes Modell zur narratologischen Filmanalyse vor. Der praktische und wissenschaftliche Nutzen liegt sowohl in der konzisen Aufarbeitung der Forschungslage als auch in der Entwicklung eines anwendungsorientierten Analysemodells, das anhand zahlreicher...

Scenes of Intimacy analyzes the representation of acts and relationships of intimacy in contemporary literature, the effect this has upon readers, and the ways these representations resonate with, complement, and challenge the concerns of contemporary theory.

The essays are textually attentive...

The Victorians elevated the home and heteronormative family life to an almost secular religion. Yet alongside the middle-class domestic ideal were other families, many of which existed in the literature of the time. Queer Victorian Families: Curious Relations in Literature is chiefly concerned with these atypical or "queer" families. This collection serves as a corrective against limited definitions of family and is a timely addition to Victorian studies. Interdisciplinary in nature, the collection opens up new possibilities for uncovering submerged, marginalized, and alternative...

Anger is an emotion that affects everyone regardless of culture, class, race, or gender--but at the same time, being angry always results from the circumstances in which people find themselves. In On Anger, Sue J. Kim opens a stimulating dialogue between cognitive studies and cultural studies to argue that anger is always socially and historically constructed and complexly ideological, and that the predominant individualistic conceptions of anger are insufficient to explain its collective, structural, and historical nature.

On Anger examines the dynamics of...
