La littérature américaine qui naît dans la première moitié du XIXe siècle tente de s'affranchir des modèles esthétiques européens. Elle ne cesse pourtant de faire référence à Shakespeare. Cet ouvrage, qui s'inscrit à la croisée de l'analyse intertextuelle et de l'histoire des idées, cherche à articuler cet intertexte shakespearien et l'émergence d'une littérature nationale qui se construit en réinventant l'œuvre du dramaturge. À travers l'étude de Charles Brockden Brown, Joseph Dennie, Washington Irving, Herman Melville – mais également d'essayistes et dramaturges aux accents nettement plus nationalistes –, il s'agit moins de se livrer à une étude des sources que de s'intéresser aux significations de ce recours à un Shakespeare réinventé, dont les écrivains du Nouveau Monde font bégayer la langue – une langue étrangère et familière à la fois. Ainsi devenu autre, l'imaginaire dramatique shakespearien participe pleinement du développement d'une littérature américaine bien plus qu'il ne la bride.

Ce volume explore la poésie des choses, la nature fuyante de la distinction entre l'objet et la chose et les avatars du kitsch. À travers les « grands textes » de la littérature britannique et américaine (Dickens. Norris, Joyce. Beckett. roman policier), des œuvres lyriques (Thomas Hardy. Robert Lowell, Elizabeth Bishop, Derek Mahon, Paul Muldoon) ou des ligures d'artistes comme Derek Jarman et Jeff Koons, se fait jour une ligne de partage, ou ligne de faille, entre l’objet lyrique et la chose inhumaine, l'objet comme extension du moi et la chose comme remise en cause du sujet. Cette distinction parcourt la plupart des articles réunis dans ce volume dont l’ambition est de revenir sur les notions de ressemblance et de beau, cruciales pour le réalisme et le lyrisme contemporains, artistiques ou littéraires.

Ce qui nous est offert ici est une glorieuse galerie de monstres : une naine difforme, un père infanticide souffrant de manie dépressive, un tueur en série amputé d'un bras, un consul presque aveugle, une obèse avachie ou un grand blessé accidenté de la route traversent joyeusement ces pages en compagnie de Sade, de Dracula, et de bien d'autres. Cette grande fantasmagorie du corps difforme ou mutilé justifiait sans doute qu'un ouvrage fut consacré à l'inhumain dans la littérature anglaise et américaine des XIXe et XXe siècles.

Literary form presents an important opportunity for understanding the relationship between literature and science. Through a series of close readings of poetry and prose, this book demonstrates that formal structures in literature can relate to scientific concepts through their essential interpretive functions.

Exploring space: Spatial notions in cultural, literary and language studies falls into two volumes and is the result of the 18th PASE (Polish Association for the Study of English) Conference organized by the English Department of Opole University and held at Kamień Śląski in April 2009. The first volume embraces cultural and literary studies and offers papers on narrative fiction, poetry, theatre and drama, and post-colonial studies. The texts and contexts explored are either British, American or Commonwealth. The second volume refers to English language studies and covers papers on lexicography, general linguistics and rhetoric, discourse studies and translation, second language acquisition/foreign language learning, and the methodology of foreign language teaching. The book aims to offer a comprehensive insight into how the category of space can inform original philological research; thus, it may be of interest to those in search of novel applications of space-related concepts, and to those who wish to acquire an update on current developments in English Studies across Poland (from the Preface).

"For many the phrase "Native nonfiction" inspires thoughts of the past, of timeless oral history transcriptions and dry 19th century autobiographies. In Shapes of Native Nonfiction, Washuta and Warburton explode this perspective by showcasing 22 contemporary Native writers and their provocative approaches to form. While exploring familiar legacies of personal and collective trauma and violence, these writers push, pull and break the conventional essay structure to overhaul the dominant cultural narrative that romanticize Native lives, yet deny Native emotional response. Organized into four sections inspired by different aspects of and strategies for basket weaving (Technique, Coiling, Plaiting, Twining) the essays presented here demonstrate how Native writers manipulate the shape of creative nonfiction to offer incisive observations, critiques and commentary on our political, social and cultural world. The result is an engaging anthology that introduces a variety of audiences to the true range of Native nonfiction work"--
