	Legenda Main Series After Reception Theory: Fedor Dostoevskii in Britain, 1869-1935 by Lucia Aiello More often than not, monographs on the reception of an author are either detailed, chronologically organized accounts of the reputation of that author, or studies in literary influence. This study adopts neither of those approaches and deals with the ... Hardback. Not yet published - advance orders taken. Price GB £45.00
	Legenda Main Series Paul Valéry and the Voice of Desire by Kirsteen Anderson The concept of voice was of central importance to Valéry. It was representative of the most intimate aspects of the self, the means by which we achieve consciousness and affirm meaning - the knowledge of a lost unity and the desire to recapture it. Interweaving analysis of Valéry's poetry and prose with wider critical concerns, Kirsteen Anderson shows that voice is central not only to the study of Valéry's writing but also to a ... Paperback.

	Legenda Main Series The Cervantean Heritage: Reception and Influence of Cervantes in Britain edited by J.A.G. Ardila Many critics regard Cervantes's Don Quixote as the most influential literary book on British literature. Indeed the impact on British authors was immense, as can be seen from 17th-century plays by Fletcher, Massinger and Beaumont, through the great 18th-century novels of Fielding, Smollett, Sterne, and Lennox, and on into more modern and contemporary novelists. 20th-century critics, fascinated by Cervantes, were moved to write what we now ...

	Legenda Main Series Narrative Responses to the Trauma of the French Revolution by Katherine Astbury During the French Revolution, traditional literary forms such as the sentimental novel and the moral tale dominate literary production. At first glance, it might seem that these texts are unaffected by the upheavals in France; in fact they reveal not only a surprising engagement with politics but also an internalised emotional response to the turbulence of the period. In this innovative and wide-ranging study, Katherine Astbury uses trauma theory ... Hardback. Not yet published - advance orders taken. Price GB £45.00
	Legenda Main Series Textual Wanderings: The Theory and Practice of Narrative Digression edited by Rhian Atkin Digression is a crucial motif in literary narratives. It features as a key characteristic of fictional works from Cervantes and Sterne, to Proust, Joyce and Calvino. Moving away from a linear narrative and following a path of associations reflects how we think and speak. Yet an author's inability to stick to the point has often been seen to detract from a work of literature, somehow weakening it. This wide-ranging and timely volume seeks to ... Hardback.

	Legenda Main Series Negotiating Sainthood: Distinction, Cursileria and Saintliness in Spanish Novels by Kathy Bacon This study demonstrates the previously unrecognised significance of discourses of saintliness for constructions of gender and national identity in late-nineteenth and early-twentieth-century Spanish culture.á Kathy Bacons innovative approach to sainthood leads to fresh readings of texts by Spains three principal realist novelists: La familia de León Roch and Nazarín (Benito Pérez Galdós, 1878 and 1895), La Regenta ...

	Legenda Main Series The Picture as Spectre in Diderot, Proust, and Deleuze by Thomas Baldwin The possibility of ekphrasis, the verbal representation of visual imagery, is fundamental to all writing about art, be it art criticism, theory or a passage in a novel. But there is no consensus concerning how such representation works. Some take it for granted that writing about art can result in a precise match between words and visual images. For others, ekphrasis amounts to a kind of virtuoso rivalry, in which the writer aims to outdo the ... Hardback. Price GB £45.00
	Legenda Main Series Cosmos and Image in the Renaissance: French Love Lyric and Natural-Philosophical Poetry by Kathryn Banks Renaissance images could be real as well as linguistic. Human beings were often believed to be an image of the cosmos, and the sun an image of God. Kathryn Banks explores the implications of this for poetic language and argues that linguistic images were a powerful tool for rethinking cosmic conceptions. She reassesses the role of natural-philosophical poetry in France, focusing upon its most well-known and widely-read exponent, Guillaume de ... Hardback. Price GB £45.00
	Legenda Main Series Conde in Context: Ideological Change... Bannister, Mark Louis II de Bourbon (1621-86), known as Le Grand Condé, stood alongside Richelieu and Mazarin as one of the key figures who shaped the reign of Louis XIV In response to profound upheavals in their world, his contemporaries looked to him to satisfy their need for a hero.
