The author argues that in order to appreciate the extraordinary application and industry of Wordsworth, one does not need to risk forgetting the extraordinariness of Coleridge's bursts of creativity and, in order to appreciate Coleridge, one does not need to simultaneously react against a 'dull', 'dutiful' Wordsworth. The book is divided into two parts to acknowledge the dichotomy between the methodologies of Wordsworth and Coleridge - one efficient the other inefficient. In the opinion of many, each was the other's most reliable and powerful source of creative inspiration.

First published in 1972, Ghalib presents aspects of Ghalib, the last great literary figured produced by Mughal India before the empire was swept away by the British after the Revolt of 1857, as he appears though the eyes of well-known British and other European scholars. The book gives a picture of Ghalib's own personality as it emerges in passages from his own Persian and Urdu letters and prose writings. Percival Spear, who lived in Delhi for many years, describes the Delhi scene of Ghalib's day. P. Hardy writes of his relations with the British, and finally, two essays, by A. Bausani and Ralph Russell respectively, give an account of his Persian and Urdu poetry. His book will be of interest to students of literature, poetry, South Asian studies and history.
This essay collection proposes that G.W.M. Reynolds's contribution to Victorian print culture reveals the interrelations between authorship, genre, and radicalism in popular print culture of the nineteenth century. As a best-selling author of popular fiction marketed to the lower classes, and a passionate champion of radical politics and "the industrious classes," Reynolds and his work demonstrate the relevance of Victorian Studies to topics of pressing contemporary concern including populism, working-class fiction, the concept of 'originality', and the collective scholarly endeavour to 'widen' and 'undiscipline' Victorian Studies. Bringing together well-known and newly-emerging scholars from across different disciplinary perspectives, the volume explores the importance of Reynolds Studies to scholarship on the nineteenth-century. This book will appeal to students and scholars of the nineteenth-century press, popular culture, and of authorship, as well as to Victorian Studies scholars interested in the translation of Victorian texts into new and indigenous markets.
William Barnes' reputation as one of the pre-eminent British "dialect" poets, the equal of Robert Burns and John Clare, is being increasingly recognized. The range of his writings is extraordinary as evidenced by the contents of this collection, which includes works on etymology, philology, topography, mathematics, ancient history and economics. This collection displays the full diversity of Barnes' considerable intellect. Included are major and lesser-known works, biographical pieces by Thomas Hardy, and the biography by his daughter, Lucy Baxter.
"White Skin/Black Masks" focuses on the fiction and travel writings
of Henry Rider Haggard and Rudyard Kipling. Close friends as well
as prominent figures of imperial and colonial myth-making, Haggard
and Kipling were praised for their alleged knowledge of and ability
to speak from within the "native" cultures of Africa and India.
Narrators and characters in their fiction attest to a persistent
fascination with the body-image of the "Other." Kipling's fiction
in particular deals with disguise and physical transformation
through the use of costume. This book addresses the psychic
processes of negation, projection and reappropriation in the
dynamics of pleasure/unpleasure and mastery/defense found in the
work of these two writers. It also seeks to provide a historical
context for understanding how these forces emerged from and were
played out in contemporary society.
