In the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries the Inns of Court and fashionable London taverns developed a culture of clubbing, urban sociability and wit. The convivial societies that emerged created rituals to define social identities and to engage in literary play and political discussion. Michelle O'Callaghan argues that the lawyer-wits, including John Hoskyns, in company with authors such as John Donne, Ben Jonson and Thomas Coryate, consciously reinvigorated humanist traditions of learned play. Their experiments with burlesque, banquet literature, parody and satire resulted in a volatile yet creative dialogue between civility and licence, and between pleasure and the violence of scurrilous words. The wits inaugurated a mode of literary fellowship that shaped the history and literature of sociability in the seventeenth century. This study will provide many insights for historians and literary scholars of the period.

Gender studies in Zimbabwe have tended to focus on women and their comparative disadvantages and under-privilege. Assuming a broader perspective is necessary at a time when society has grown used to arguments rooted in binaries: colonised and coloniser, race and class, sex and gender, poverty and wealth, patriotism and terrorism, etc. The editors of Manning the Nation recognise that concepts of manhood can be used to repress or liberate, and will depend on historical and political imperatives; they seek to introduce a more nuanced perspective to the interconnectivity of patriarchy, masculinity

Although American literature is a standard subject in the American college curriculum, a century ago few people thought it should be taught there. Elizabeth Renker uncovers the complex historical process through which American literature overcame its image of aesthetic and historical inferiority to become an important field for academic study and research. Renker's extensive original archival research focuses on four institutions of higher education serving distinct regional, class, race and gender populations. She argues that American literature's inferior image arose from its affiliation with non-elite schools, teachers and students, and that it had to overcome this social identity in order to achieve status as serious knowledge. Renker's revisionary analysis is an important contribution to the intellectual history of the United States and will be of interest to anyone studying, teaching or researching American literature.

This monograph deals with theoretical and historical aspects of the position of the writer in Slovenia from the end of 18th century, when literature started to differentiate itself from other systems and form an autonomous social system, to the situation in which the writer finds himself at the beginning of the 21st century. V knjigi se mladi, a že uveljavljeni literarni teoretik in zgodovinar Marijan Dović loti teme, ki na prvi pogled zveni »iztrošeno«, na inovativen, mestoma tudi provokativen način. Razvoja pisatelja ne zasleduje skozi biografsko ali tekstualno optiko, temveč težišče premakne in raje sledi evoluciji literarnega sistema in njegove avtonomije, pisatelja kot literarnega proizvajalca pa postavi v okvir medijskih, distribucijskih in komunikacijskih mehanizmov, ki omogočajo različne strukturne pozicije znotraj sistema, akumulacijo simbolnega kapitala ter zavzemanje položajev, ki krmilijo konsekracijo in kanonizacijo. Ob tem sproti zariše historiat pisateljskih modelov in mehanizme, ki so zaznamovali razvoj percepcij pisateljeve družbene pozicije, na koncu pa revidira znano tezo o slovenskem kulturnem sindromu.
