	Legenda Main Series The Queer Art of Ana Clavel: Ghosts, Urinals, Dolls, Shadows and Outlaw Desires by Jane Elizabeth Lavery Ana Clavel is a remarkable contemporary Mexican writer whose literary and multimedia oeuvre is marked by its queerness.

	Legenda Main Series Sensibility, Reading and Illustration: Spectacles and Signs in Graffigny, Marivaux, and Rousseau by Ann Lewis Eighteenth-century sensibilité has always been controversial. In fact, the term itself refers to complex forms of physical and emotional responsiveness, and Lewis's study investigates the fictional exploration of various key problems of sentimental response that were at the heart of eighteenth-century moral, epistemological and aesthetic debates. These are analysed in conjunction with some of the actual (often emotional) responses that the term, ... Hardback. Price GB £45.00
	Legenda Main Series Renaissance Keywords edited by Ita Mac Carthy Certain words played a crucial role in the making of the European Renaissance, and still recur today in our shifting understanding of it. Discretion and grace, to take two examples studied here, express how individuals thought about themselves, each other and their experience of the world, yet they are as hard to define as they are ever-present in Renaissance discourse. In this collection of essays, scholars from across the Humanities offer new ... Hardback. Not yet published - advance orders taken. Price GB £45.00
	Legenda Main Series Roger Laporte: The Orphic Text by Ian MacLachlan This is the first full-length study devoted to Roger Laporte, whose lifelong exploration of the stakes of writing has produced a body of work on the borderline of literature and philosophy. Charting the development of Laporte's writing in relation to the work of Heidegger, Levinas, Blanchot and Derrida, this study offers both a comprehensive reading of Laporte's ouvre and a new perspective on an important strand of recent thinking about ...

	Legenda Main Series Image, Eye and Art in Calvino: Writing Visibility edited by Birgitte Grundtvig, Martin McLaughlin and Lene Waage Petersen Few recent writers have been as interested in the cross-over between texts and visual art as Italo Calvino (1923-85). Involved for most of his life in the publishing industry, he took as much interest in the visual as in the textual aspects of his own and other writers' books. In this volume twenty international Calvino experts, including Barenghi, Battistini, Belpoliti, Hofstadter, Ricci, Scarpa and others, consider the many facets of the ... Hardback. Price GB £45.00
	Legenda Main Series Inn and the Traveller: Digressive Topographies in the Early Modern European Novel by Will McMorran In the rich landscape of the early modern European comic novel the inn often features as a monument to digression - the perfect setting for chance encounters with strangers who always have a story to tell. This wide-ranging comparative study explores the special part played by the inn, tracing the progress of a succession of wayward heroes and narrators in five canonical texts: Cervantes's Don Quijote, Scarron's Roman comique, Fielding's Joseph ...

	Legenda Main Series The Extreme In-Between: Jean Paulhan's Place in Twentieth Century Politics and Literature by Anna-Louise Milne Frequently referred to as the éminence grise of French literature in the interwar years, Jean Paulhan (1884-1968) was not just the editor responsible for giving writers as varied as Francis Ponge and Jean-Paul Sartre their first start in the pages of the renowned Nouvelle Revue Française. He also produced a substantial body of work of astonishing eclecticism. From dense, quasi-scientific texts on poetic language, where his critical ... Hardback. Price GB £45.00
	Legenda Main Series Questions of the Liminal in the Fiction of Julio Cortazar by Dominic Moran The great Argentinian writer Julio Cortázar (1914-84) was immersed in one of the most vibrant and revolutionary intellectual scenes of the last century, the Paris of the 1950s and 60s. Yet his often highly cerebral work has never received the close philosophical attention it deserves. Moran's book fills this critical lacuna. Rather than indiscriminately appyling 'theory' to Cortazár, it aims to show that his work both engages with and ... Paperback. Publisher's Price GB £35.00, Our Price GB £14.99
	Legenda Main Series Ismail Kadare: The Writer and the Dictatorship 1957-1990 by Peter Morgan Ismail Kadare has experienced a life of controversy. In his own country and internationally he has been both acclaimed as a writer and condemned as a lackey of the Albanian socialist dictatorship. Coming of age after occupation and war, Kadare (b. 1936) belonged to the first generation of new Albanians. In a land where writers were routinely imprisoned, Kadare produced the most brilliant and subversive works to emerge from socialist Eastern ... Hardback. Price GB £48.00
