|  | Against Nature: A Rebours (Oxford World's Classics)
Publication Date: August 3, 2009| Series: Oxford World's Classics Resisting the traditional model of nineteenth-century fiction, Joris-Karl Huysman produced in 1884 a novel unlike any other of his time.

As Des Esseintes hides away in his museum of high taste, Huysman offers the reader a treasury of cultural delights and anticipates many aspects of twentieth century modernism. Supplemented by notes and a critical introduction, this new translation is sure to...

|  | Islam and Early Modern English Literature: The Politics of Romance from Spenser to Milton (Early Modern Cultural Studies)
Release Date: July 24, 2007| Series: Early Modern Cultural Studies Romance was the preeminent narrative form through which medieval Christendom imagined its encounter with the world.

This book traces the process through which Spenser, Shakespeare, Milton, and others adapted, revised, or resisted romance, mapping a world of increasingly uncertain allegiances and affiliations. Early modern romance re-imagined the world, and in the process decisively rearticulated t...
