Sea Narratives: Cultural Responses to the Sea, 1600-Present
explores the relationship between the sea and culture from the
early modern period to the present. The collection uses the concept
of the 'sea narrative' as a lens through which to consider the
multiple ways in which the sea has shaped, challenged, and expanded
modes of cultural representation to produce varied, contested and
provocative chronicles of the sea across a variety of cultural
forms within diverse socio-cultural moments. Sea Narratives
provides a unique perspective on the relationship between the sea
and cultural production: it reveals the sea to be more than simply
a source of creative inspiration, instead showing how the sea has
had a demonstrable effect on new modes and forms of narration
across the cultural sphere, and in turn, how these forms have been
essential in shaping socio-cultural understandings of the sea. The
result is an incisive exploration of the sea's force as a cultural
presence.

Mobility in the Victorian Novel explores mobility in Victorian
novels by authors including Charles Dickens, Charlotte Bronte,
Elizabeth Gaskell, George Eliot and Mary Elizabeth Braddon. With
focus on representations of bodies on the move, it reveals how
journeys create the place of the nation within a changing global
landscape.
This is the first book dedicated to literary and cultural scholars'
engagement with mobilities scholarship. As such, the volume both
advances new theoretical approaches to the study of culture and
furthers the recent "humanities turn" in mobilities studies. The
book's scholarship is deeply informed by cultural geography's
vision of a mobilised reconceptualisation of space and place, but
also by the contribution of literary scholars in articulating
questions of travel, technologies of transport, (post)colonialism
and migration through a close engagement with textual materials. A
comprehensive introduction maps pre-histories and emerging
directions of this exciting interdisciplinary endeavor while taking
up the theoretical and methodological challenges of the burgeoning
subfield. Contributions range across geographical and disciplinary
boundaries to address questions of embodied subjectivities,
mobility and the nation, geopolitics of migration, and mobilities
futures.
