Theoretically informed scholarship on early modern English utopian
literature has largely focused on Marxist interpretation of these
texts in an attempt to characterize them as proto- Marxist. The
present volume instead focuses on subjectivity in early modern
English utopian writing by using these texts as case studies to
explore intersections of the thought of Jacques Lacan and Michel
Foucault. Both Lacan and Foucault moved back and forth between
structuralist and post-structuralist intellectual trends and
ultimately both defy strict categorization into either camp.
Although numerous studies have appeared that compare Lacan's and
Foucault's thought, there have been relatively few applications of
their thought together onto literature. By applying the thought of
both theorists, who were not literary critics, to readings of early
modern English utopian literature, this study will, on the one
hand, describe the formation of utopian subjectivity that is both
psychoanalytically (Oedipal and pre-Oedipal) and socially
constructed, and, on the other hand, demonstrate new ways in which
the thought of Lacan and Foucault inform and complement each other
when applied to literary texts. The utopian subject is a malleable
subject, a subject whose linguistic, psychoanalytical subjectivity
determines the extent to which environmental and social factors
manifest in an identity that moves among Lacan's Symbolic,
Imaginary, and Real.

Sniper One is the gritty, awe-inspiring true story that takes you
right into the heart of the Iraq war from Sunday Times No.1
bestseller Sgt. Dan Mills. 'One of the best first-hand accounts of
combat that I've ever read' Andy McNab We all saw it at once. Half
a dozen voices screamed 'Grenade!' simultaneously. Then everything
went into slow motion. The grenade took an age to travel through
its 20 metre arc. A dark, small oval-shaped package of misery the
size of a peach . . . April 2004: Dan Mills and his platoon of
snipers fly into southern Iraq, part of an infantry battalion sent
to win hearts and minds. They were soon fighting for their lives.
Back home we were told they were peacekeeping. But there was no
peace to keep. Because within days of arriving in theatre, Mills
and his men were caught up in the longest, most sustained fire
fight British troops had faced for over fifty years. This
awe-inspiring account tells of total war in throat-burning winds
and fifty-degree heat, blasted by mortars and surrounded by heavily
armed militias - you won't be able to put this down. 'If I could
give it more stars I would' 5***** reader review 'A truly stunning
story. I have read this 4 times and it's still as captivating now
as the first time' 5***** Reader rReview

When Sgt. Dan Mills and the rest of the 1st Battalion, The Princess
of Wales's Royal Regiment, flew into Iraq in April 2004, they were
supposed to be winning hearts and minds. They were soon fighting
for their lives.Within hours of their arrival in Iraq, a grenade
bounced off one of the battalion's Land Rovers, rolled underneath,
and detonated. The ambush marked the beginning of a full-scale
firefight during which Mills killed a man with a round that removed
his assailant's head. It was going to be a long tour.Like some
postapocalyptic "Mad Max" nightmare, the place had gone to hell in
a handbasket. Throat-burning winds, blast bombs, and well-trained,
well-organized militias armed with AKs, RPGs, and a limitless
supply of mortar rounds were the icing on the cake.For the next six
months, isolated, besieged, and under constant fire, their
battalion refused to give an inch. "Sniper One" is a breathtaking
chronicle of endurance, camaraderie, dark humor, and courage in the
face of relentless, lethal assault.
