"Rewriting the Thirties" questions the myth of the 'anti-modernist' decade. Conversely, the editors argue it is a symptomatic, transitional phase between modern and post-modern writing and politics, at a time of cultural and technological change.
The text reconsiders some of the leading writers of the period in the light of recent theoretical developments, through essays on the ambivalent assimilation of Modernist influences, among proletarian and canonical novelists including James Barke and George Orwell, and among poets including Auden, MacNeice, Swingler and Bunting, and in the work of feminist writers Vera Brittain and Winifred Holtby. In this substantial remapping, the complexity and scope of literary-critical debate at the time is discussed in relation to theatrical innovation, audience attitudes to the mass medium of modernity - cinema - the poetics of suburbia, consumerism and national ideology, as well as the discursive strategies of British and American documentarism.

Art and Science in Word and Image investigates the theme of 'riddles of form', exploring how discovery and innovation have functioned inter-dependently between art, literature and the sciences. Using the impact of evolutionary biologist D'Arcy Thompson's On Growth and Form on Modernist practices as springboard into the theme, contributors consider engagements with mysteries of natural form in painting, photography, fiction, etc., as well as theories about cosmic forces, and other fields of knowledge and enquiry. Hence the collection also deals with topics including cultural inscriptions of gardens and landscapes, deconstructions of received history through word and image artworks and texts, experiments in poetic materiality, graphic re-mediations of classic fiction, and textual transactions with animation and photography. Contributors are: Dina Aleshina, Marcia Arbex, Donna T. Canada Smith, Calum Colvin, Francis Edeline, Philippe Enrico, Etienne Fevrier, Madeline B. Gangnes, Eric T. Haskell, Christina Ionescu, Tim Isherwood, Matthew Jarron, Philippe Kaenel, Judy Kendall, Catherine Lanone, Kristen Nassif, Solange Ribeiro de Oliveira, Eric Robertson, Frances Robertson, Cathy Roche-Liger, David Skilton, Melanie Stengele, Barry Sullivan, Alice Tarbuck, Frederik Van Dam.

Examining writers from Auden to Priestley, this study argues that the 1930s, remembered usually for uncomplicated political engagement, can rather be seen as initiating the key elements of post-modernism, developing the individuals's sense of "elsewhere" through new technology of representation and propaganda. The book analyzes the relationship between the leftist writers of the decade and the mass-media, showing how newspapers, radio and film were treated in their writing, and how they reshaped its forms, assumptions and imagery.

Investigates how the cinematic tendency of Joyce's writing developed from media predating film In this book, Keith Williams explores Victorian culture's emergent 'cinematicity' as a key creative driver of Joyce's experimental fiction, showing how Joyce's style and themes share the cinematograph's roots in Victorian optical entertainment and science. The book reveals Joyce's references to optical toys, shadowgraphs, magic lanterns, panoramas, photographic analysis and film peepshows. Close analyses of his works show how his techniques elaborated and critiqued their effects on modernity's 'media-cultural imaginary'.

Throughout 1968, US Marine Corps units patrolled to the edge of the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) and manned combat outposts stretching from the Laotian border to the South China Sea in an effort to seal the demarcation line and prevent the North Vietnamese Army (NVA) from infiltrating large units into the south. As part of the post-Tet American counter-offensive, the 3rd Marine Division was preparing to attack NVA units staging along the DMZ when, on April 29, the 320th NVA Division was spotted less than four miles from the Marines' Dong Ha Combat Base. Brutal fighting soon developed in nearby Dai Do as the 2nd Battalion, 4th Marines, known as the'Magnificent Bastards', struggled to eject NVA forces from this strategic hamlet located just two miles from the division's headquarters and main supply base. Aided by the 'Gimlets' of the US Army Americal Division's 3rd Battalion, 21st Infantry, who became embroiled in a bitter battle at neighbouring Nhi Ha, the 'Magnificent Bastards' held their ground in a see-saw contest with the larger NVA force until they were relieved by the 1st Battalion, 3d Marines, on 3 May. Keith Nolan's gripping account of this nightmarish struggle, reminiscent of the horrific clashes along World War I's Western Front, is sure to become a classic in the annals of Vietnam War literature. Keith W. Nolan is acknowledged as the foremost chronicler of the Vietnam War. He is the author of ten other Vietnam War combat histories most recently House To House and Ripcord.
