Addressing the history of the production and reception of the great medieval poem, Piers Plowman, Lawrence Warner reveals the many ways in which scholars, editors and critics over the centuries created their own speculative narratives about the poem, which gradually came to be regarded as factually true. Warner begins by considering the possibility that Langland wrote a romance about a werewolf and bear-suited lovers, and he goes on to explore the methods of the poem's localization, and medieval readers' particular interest in its Latinity. Warner shows that the 'Protestant Piers' was a reaction against the poem's oral mode of transmission, reveals the extensive eighteenth-century textual scholarship on the poem and contextualizes its first modernization. This lively account of Piers Plowman challenges the way the poem has traditionally been read and understood. This title is available as Open Access on Cambridge Books Online and via Knowledge Unlatched.

How is it that some texts achieve the status of literature? Partly, at least, because the relationship they allow between their writers and the people who respond to them is fundamentally egalitarian. This is the insight explored by members of the Åbo literary communication network, who in this new book develop fresh approaches to literary works of widely varied provenance. The authors examined have written in Ancient Greek, Táng Dynasty Chinese, Middle, Modern and Contemporary English, German, Romanian, Polish, Russian and Hebrew. But each and every one of them is shown as having offered their

In den letzten Jahrzehnten hat die heftige Auseinandersetzung um die Literaturgeschichte offenbar nur geringfügig dazu beigetragen, dass ihr in den Debatten der Philologien noch ein gehobener Stellenwert eingeräumt wurde. Die Literaturgeschichte galt als tot. Immer aber war sie präsent in einer Fülle literaturgeschichtlicher Einführungsbände, die sich heute vor allem an die Studierenden in den Bachelorstudiengängen richten. Dies scheint den Befund nahezulegen, dass die Literaturgeschichte nach wie vor einen zentralen Bestandteil literaturwissenschaftlicher Forschung und Lehre ausmacht. In jüngerer Zeit aber ist eine Wiederbelebung nicht allein der Theoriedebatte um die Literaturgeschichte, sondern auch praktischer Unternehmungen im Feld zu beobachten. In diesem Band werden diese Überlegungen wiederaufgenommen und fortgeführt. Die BeiträgerInnen sichten den Bestand an diagnostizierten theoretischen Problemen, und diskutieren neue Modelle und Konzepte der Literaturgeschichtsschreibungen an konkreten Epochen, ihren Zäsuren und literarturhistorischen Kontinuitäten.

Die Beiträge des Bandes zeigen, dass die disziplinäre Begegnung zwischen Sprach- und Literaturwissenschaft weit mehr ist als eine Tradition akademischer Institutionen. In 16 allgemein-theoretischen und textbezogenen Analysen werden Berührungspunkte zwischen den beiden Disziplinen beleuchtet, auch solcher institutioneller Art. Es werden die Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede zwischen Alltagsdiskurs und Literatur herausgearbeitet und linguistische Begrifflichkeiten auf literarische Texte angewandt. Dies betrifft Fragen wie Sprechakt, Referenz, und Inferenz, die Strukturen und die Relevanz des kognitiven und kulturellen Hintergrunds für beide Diskursformen, Rhetorik und Perspektivierungen, Sprach- und Schreibstile, Gattungen und andere Ebenen diskursiver Traditionen.

Making Mind: Moral Sense and Consciousness in Philosophy, Science, and Literature posits the genesis of narrative as an adaptive function stemming from consciousness and moral sense. The book is unique with its idea of the individual character evolving narrative in relation to the group. Central to the argument is the claim that prehistorically, consciousness and moral sense intersected to form narrative. More than addressing the origin of story, the book examines and explains the evolution of narrative. The book is an interesting study of how our species-inherited moral sense can differ dramatically from one individual to another. While mores pertain to a group, narrative comes from and is processed by the individual and reaches its high point in the novel. We see how the moral sense works in characters as a monitor, and we feel it operating in us as readers in terms of approval, or not.

Als Herausgeber poetischer Taschenbücher und literarischer Zeitschriften stand Leo von Seckendorf (1775-1809) in brieflichem Austausch mit fast allen bedeutenden Autoren von der späten Aufklärung über die Klassik bis zur Romantik. Über die Bedeutung der prominenten Briefpartner hinaus gewährt die enorm vielseitige, aber bislang nur in wenigen Ausschnitten zugängliche Korrespondenz einen ergiebigen Einblick in die Funktionsweise des literarischen Marktes um 1800. Zudem enthält sie, aufgrund der aktiven Teilhabe Seckendorfs an verschiedenen literarisch-künstlerischen Zirkeln in Weimar, Regensburg, Stuttgart und Wien eine Vielzahl authentischer Mitteilungen zur geselligen Kultur der Epoche. Mit dieser ausführlich kommentierten Edition von über 300 Briefen aus dem umfangreichen und weit verstreuten Nachlass Seckendorfs wird eine überaus breit gefächerte Korrespondenz erstmals ihrer Bedeutung entsprechend gewürdigt und durch ein Repertorium und Briefverzeichnis vollständig erschlossen.

"In Victorian Reformations: Historical Fiction and Religious Controversy, 1820-1900, Miriam Elizabeth Burstein analyzes the ways in which Christian novelists across the denominational spectrum laid claim to popular genres--most importantly, the religious historical novel--to narrate the aftershocks of 1829, the year of Catholic Emancipation. Both Protestant and Catholic popular novelists fought over the ramifications of nineteenth-century Catholic toleration for the legacy of the Reformation. But despite the vast textual range of this genre, it remains virtually unknown in literary studies. Victorian Reformations is the first book to analyze how "high" theological and historical debates over the Reformation's significance were popularized through the increasingly profitable venue of Victorian religious fiction. By putting religious apologists and controversialists at center stage, Burstein insists that such fiction--frequently dismissed as overly simplistic or didactic--is essential for our understanding of Victorian popular theology, history, and historical novels. Burstein reads "lost" but once exceptionally popular religious novels--for example, by Elizabeth Rundle Charles, Lady Georgiana Fullerton, and Emily Sarah Holt--against the works of such now-canonical figures as Sir Walter Scott, Charles Dickens, and George Eliot, while also drawing on material from contemporary sermons, histories, and periodicals. Burstein demonstrates how these novels, which popularized Christian visions of change for a mass readership, call into question our assumptions about the nineteenth-century historical novel. In addition, her research and her conceptual frameworks have the potential to influence broader paradigms in Victorian studies and novel criticism. "In Victorian Reformations, Miriam Elizabeth Burstein persuasively shows how non-canonical Victorian historical novels offer essential insights into the shaping and importance of Victorian religious debates. Informative and well-argued, her book is a significant work for those who are interested in Victorian literature and Victorian religion, as well as the intersection of the two."--Carol Engelhardt Herringer, Wright State University"--
