In this timely collection, teacher-scholars of “the long
eighteenth century,” a Eurocentric time frame from about 1680 to
1832, consider what teaching means in this historical moment: one
of attacks on education, a global contagion, and a reckoning with
centuries of trauma experienced by Black, Indigenous, and immigrant
peoples. Taking up this challenge, each essay highlights the
intellectual labor of the classroom, linking textual and cultural
materials that fascinate us as researchers with pedagogical
approaches that engage contemporary students. Some essays offer
practical models for teaching through editing, sensory experience,
dialogue, or collaborative projects. Others reframe familiar texts
and topics through contemporary approaches, such as the health
humanities, disability studies, and decolonial teaching.
Throughout, authors reflect on what it is that we do when we
teach—how our pedagogies can be more meaningful, more impactful,
and more relevant. Published by Bucknell University Press.

Eighteenth-Century Poetry and the Rise of the Novel Reconsidered
begins with the brute fact that poetry jostled up alongside novels
in the bookstalls of eighteenth-century England. Indeed, by
exploring unexpected collisions and collusions between poetry and
novels, this volume of exciting, new essays offers a
reconsideration of the literary and cultural history of the period.
The novel poached from and featured poetry, and the "modern"
subjects and objects privileged by "rise of the novel" scholarship
are only one part of a world full of animate things and people with
indistinct boundaries. Contributors: Margaret Doody, David Fairer,
Sophie Gee, Heather Keenleyside, Shelley King, Christina Lupton,
Kate Parker, Natalie Phillips, Aran Ruth, Wolfram Schmidgen, Joshua
Swidzinski, and Courtney Weiss Smith.

Sade's Sensibilities tells a new story of one of the most enduring
and controversial figures in European literature. Blending ideas
about subjectivity, identity and natural philosophy with politics
and pornography, D.A.F. de Sade has fascinated writers and readers
for two hundred years, and his materialist account of the human
condition has been widely influential in post-structuralism,
nihilism, and feminism. This new collection of essays considers
Sade's Enlightenment legacy, both within and beyond the narratives
of radicalism and aberration that have historically marked the
study of his oeuvre. From different points of view, these essays
argue that Sade engaged with and influenced traditional
Enlightenment paradigms-particularly those related to sensibility,
subjectivity, and philosophy-as much as he resisted them. They thus
recover a Sade more relevant, even foundational to our twenty-first
century understanding of modernity, selfhood, and community. In
Sade's Sensibilities Sade is no longer a solitary, peripheral
radical, but an Enlightenment philosopher in his own right.

What is the role of folklore in the discussion of catastrophe and
trauma? How do disaster survivors use language, ritual, and the
material world to articulate their experiences? What insights and
tools can the field of folkloristics offer survivors for navigating
and narrating disaster and its aftermath? Can folklorists
contribute to broader understandings of empathy and the roles of
listening in ethnographic work? We Are All Survivors is a
collection of essays exploring the role of folklore in the wake of
disaster. Contributors include scholars from the United States and
Japan who have long worked with disaster-stricken communities or
are disaster survivors themselves; individual chapters address
Hurricane Katrina, Hurricane Maria, and two earthquakes in Japan,
including the earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear disaster of 2011.
Adapted from a 2017 special issue of Fabula (from the International
Society for Folk Narrative Research), the book includes a revised
introduction, an additional chapter with original illustrations,
and a new conclusion considering how folklorists are documenting
the COVID-19 pandemic. We Are All Survivors bears witness to
survivors' expressions of remembrance, grieving, and healing.
When and under what circumstances are disaster survivors able to
speak for themselves in the public arena? In Consuming Katrina:
Public Disaster and Personal Narrative, author Kate Parker Horigan
shows how the public understands and remembers large-scale
disasters like Hurricane Katrina, outlining which stories are
remembered and why, as well as the impact on public memory and the
survivors themselves. Horigan discusses unique contexts in which
personal narratives about the storm are shared, including
interviews with survivors, Dave Eggers's Zeitoun, Josh Neufeld's
A.D.: New Orleans After the Deluge, Tia Lessin and Carl Deal's
Trouble the Water, and public commemoration during Hurricane
Katrina's tenth anniversary in New Orleans. In each case, survivors
initially present themselves in specific ways, counteracting
negative stereotypes that characterize their communities. However,
when adapted for public presentation, their stories get reduced
back to those stereotypes. As a result, people affected by Katrina
continue to be seen in limited terms, as either undeserving or
incapable of managing recovery. This project is rooted in Horigan's
experiences living in New Orleans before and after Katrina, but it
is also a case study illustrating an ongoing problem and an
innovative solution: survivors' stories should be shared in a way
that includes their own engagement with the processes of narrative
production, circulation, and reception. When survivors are seen as
agents in their own stories, they will be seen as agents in their
own recovery. Having a better grasp on the processes of narration
and memory is critical for improved disaster response because the
stories that are most widely shared about disaster determine how
communities recover.

Margery Kempe and her Book studied in both literary and historical
context. Margery Kempe's Book provides rare access to the "marginal
voice" of a lay medieval woman, and is now the focus of much
critical study. This Companion seeks to complement the existing
almost exclusively literary scholarship with work that also draws
significantly on historical analysis, and is concerned to
contextualise Kempe's Book in a number of different ways, using her
work as a way in to the culture and society of medieval northern
Europe. Topics include images and pilgrimage; women, work and trade
in medieval Norfolk; political culture and heresy; the prophetic
tradition; female mystics and the body; women's roles and
lifecycle; religious drama and reenactment; autobiography and
gender. Contributors: JOHN H. ARNOLD, P.H. CULLUM, ISABEL DAVIS,

Medieval East Anglia - one of the most significant and prosperous
parts of England in the middle ages - examined through essays on
its landscape, history, religion, literature, and culture. East
Anglia was the most prosperous region of medieval England; far from
being an isolated backwater, it had strong economic, religious and
cultural connections with continental Europe, with Norwich for a
time England's second city. The essays in this volume bring out the
importance of the region during the middle ages. Spanning the late
eleventh to the fifteenth century, they offer a broad coverage of
East Anglia's history and culture; particular topics examined
include its landscape, urban history, buildings, government and
society, religion and rich culture. Contributors: Christopher
Harper-Bill, Tom Williamson, Robert E. Liddiard, P. Maddern, Brian
Ayers, Elisabeth Rutledge, Penny Dunn, Kate Parker, Carole

Groundbreaking new essays provide a wealth of insight into a
less-explored period of Henry's reign. Investigations of Henry IV's
reign have tended to concentrate on how he seized power, rather
than how he governed. However, the period between 1403 and 1413 was
no less dramatic and challenging for Henry than the initial years
ofhis rule: he faced a series of rebellions, a financial crisis,
deep-seated opposition in parliament, ill-health and a number of
serious dilemmas relating to foreign policy. The essays here
examine, and provide fresh interpretations of, both these
particular aspects, and of broader topics adding to our
understanding and government and society in the period, including
the role of the lower clergy in parliament, and the mechanisms and
scope of royal patronage. Contributors: A.J. POLLARD, MICHAEL
BENNETT, CHRIS GIVEN-WILSON, ANTHONY TUCK, HELEN WATT, MARK
