One Thousand Nights and Counting: Selected PoemsOne Thousand Nights and Counting: Selected Poems
Release Date: September 4, 2012A Boston Globe Best Poetry Book of 2011The poems of Glyn Maxwell possess a slow, quiet fire. They refrain from grand gestures, from loud proclamations of emotion. Instead, Maxwell unveils these emotions gently, quietly, intricately—like little postcards in a waxed envelope.

Novelists have forfeited a wider audience, succumbing to identity politicking and self-reflexive postmodernism. In the torrent of responses to this fulguration, opinions were not so much divided as cleaved in two w...

Reading for the Law: British Literary History and Gender Advocacy (Victorian Literature and Culture Series)Reading for the Law: British Literary History and Gender Advocacy (Victorian Literature and Culture Series)
Publication Date: April 8, 2010| Series: Victorian Literature and Culture Series Taking her title from the British term for legal study, "to read for the law," Christine L. Krueger asks how "reading for the law" as literary history contributes to the progressive educational purposes of the Law and Literature movement. She argues that a multidisciplinary "historical narrative jurisprudence" strengthens narrative legal theorists' claims for the transformative powers of stories by replacing an ahistorical opposition between literature and law with a history of their interdependence, and their e...
