Contemporary Francophone African Plays
An Anthology
Edited by Judith G. Miller
“Judith Miller, the foremost scholar in the field, has curated an indispensable and invaluable transhistorical and transnational anthology. Contemporary Francophone African Plays offers unprecedented insights into the work of some of the most experimental, innovative, and groundbreaking dramatists of the past five decades.” —Dominic Thomas, coauthor of New Francophone African and Caribbean Theatres
Science Fusion in Contemporary Mexican Literature
Brian T. Chandler
“Science Fusion, a criticism of the Enlightenment colonial notion that separates science and the humanities, begins with an engaging study of people passing through the science tunnel in the La Raza metro station in Mexico City. As Chandler draws on ecocriticism, science fiction, and the history of science in Mexico, his dynamic work shows that our experience of the world is an interconnected one, made up of matter, and how we interpret it.” —Rebecca Janzen, author of Unlawful Violence: Mexican Law and Cultural Production
Consuming Anxieties
Alcohol, Tobacco, and Trade in British Satire, 1660-1751
Dayne C. Riley
“In this valuable and engaging study of both canonical and less-studied Restoration and early eighteenth-century satires on wine, beer, gin, pipe tobacco, and snuff, Riley examines the influences—both good and ill—of global commerce and trade upon national character, social class, manners, and morality. You will never look at a glass of wine or a dram of gin in a literary text the same way.” —Linda Troost, coeditor of Jane Austen in Hollywood
The Part and the Whole in Early Modern American Literature, Print Culture, and Art
Edited by Matthew Pethers and Daniel Diez Couch
“Brilliantly shows that respecting the plural, disjunctive, and fragmentary character of much early American writing makes marginalized genres interesting, and permits us to read women, minority writers, and history itself in exciting new ways. Highly recommended!” —Eve Tavor Bannet, author of Eighteenth-Century Manners of Reading: Print Culture and Popular Instruction in the Anglophone Atlantic World
