Le mythe d’Orphée, poète qui échoue à ramener Eurydice des Enfers, permet à Philippe Vilain d’examiner la littérature française contemporaine. La littérature du XXIe siècle a largement abandonné la volonté créatrice, en particulier dans sa version « exofiction », où « c’est le sujet qui assure la visibilité du roman, non le projet esthétique ». Le sujet prime sur l’œuvre même, annihilant le désir de création et menant à une impersonnalité quasi-journalistique. Que signifie cette étrange passion pour le « réel », la célébrité et les faits divers ? Sans optimisme, mais sans nostalgie, ce livre pose aussi la question de la littérature à l’heure de la culture de masse. La massification dilue la qualité dans le goût du nombre, produit des « écrivains jetables », remet en cause l’aura de la littérature, favorise les livres dont dont le sujet intéresse plutôt que le style, et ceux dont le thème a déjà plu dans le passé, et cela même si la massification permet de faire émerger de bons auteurs, de fournir un « ailleurs » au plus grand nombre et de donner à plus personnes la possibilité de publier et de s’approprier l’exercice de l’écriture.Que représente la littérature contemporaine dans l’industrialisation de la culture ? Qu’est-ce qu’un écrivain si tout le monde écrit et si lui-même se désengage de son art ? Qu’est-ce qu’écrire si l’écriture n’est plus un enjeu poétique ?

The Oxford Handbook of Victorian Literary Culture is a major contribution to the dynamic field of Victorian studies. This collection of 37 original chapters by leading international Victorian scholars offers new approaches to familiar themes (for example, science, religion, gender) and gives space to newer and emerging topics (for instance, old age, fair play, economics). Structured around three broad sections (on Ways of Being: Identity and Ideology, Ways of Understanding: Knowledge and Belief, and Ways of Communicating: Print and Other Cultures), the volume is sub-divided into 9 sub-sections each with its own lead essay: on subjectivity, politics, gender and sexuality, place and race, religion, science, material and mass culture, aesthetics and visual culture, and theatrical culture. The collection, like todays Victorian studies, is thoroughly interdisciplinary and yet its substantial Introduction explores a concern which is evident both implicitly and explicitly in the volumes essays: that is, the nature and status of literary culture and the literary from the Victorian period to the present. The diverse and wide-ranging essays present original scholarship framed accessibly for a mixed readership of advanced undergraduates, graduate students and established scholars. is a major contribution to the dynamic field of Victorian studies.

The publication of the Harry Potter series in the United States coincided with the coming-of-age of its main target audience, the millennial generation. Harry Potter and the Myth of Millennials: Identity, Reception, and Politics takes an interdisciplinary view of Harry Potter, as a series and a phenomenon, to uncover how the appeal of Harry became a lifestyle, a moral compass, and a guiding light in an era fraught with turbulence and disharmony. As a new phenomenon at the time, Harry Potter provided comfort through the heroism of the main characters, showing that perseverance and "constant vigilance," to quote one of the professors, could overcome the darkest of times. Hobbs argues that Harry Potter prepared an entire generation for the chaotic present marked by the 2016 Election and 2020 Pandemic by shaping the political attitudes of its readers, many of whom were developing their political identities alongside Harry. Her analysis focuses on both the novels themselves and the ways in which fans connected globally through the Internet to discuss the books, commiserate about the events swirling around them, and answer calls to action through Harry Potter-inspired activism. In short, Harry Potter and the Myth of Millennials examines how Harry Potter became a generation's defining mythology of love, unity, and transformation.
