Temporalities presents a concise critical introduction to the
treatment of time throughout literature. Time and its passage
represent one of the oldest and most complex philosophical subjects
in art of all forms, and Russell West-Pavlov explains and
interrogates the most important theories of temporality across a
range of disciplines. The author explores temporality's
relationship with a diverse range of related concepts, including:
historiography psychology gender economics postmodernism
postcolonialism Russell West-Pavlov examines time as a crucial part
of the critical theories of Newton, Freud, Ricoeur, Benjamin, and
explores the treatment of time in a broad range of texts, ranging
from the writings of St. Augustine and Sterne's Tristram Shandy, to
Woolf's Mrs Dalloway and Stoppard's Rosencrantz and Guildenstern
are Dead. This comprehensive and accessible guide establishes
temporality as an essential theme within literary and cultural
studies today.

First published in 1790 Edmund Burke's Reflections on the
Revolution in France initiated a debate not only about the nature
of the unprecedented historical events taking place across the
channel, but about the very identity of the British state and its
people. It has subsequently been appropriated by a variety of
conservative and liberal thinkers and has played a major role in
our understanding of the relationship between rhetoric, aesthetics
and politics.In this volume, leading Burke scholars offer new and
challenging essays which allow us to reconsider the historical
context in which Reflections on the Revolution in France was
written. The essays consider its reception, its engagements in the
discourses of nationalism and toleration, its legacy to English and
Irish writers of the Romantic period and its impact within our
contemporary cultural and critical theory. The volume demonstrates
a range of interdisciplinary critical methods and cultural
perspectives from which to read Burke's most famous work.This
volume will be the ideal companion to Burke's Reflections for all
students of literature, history, politics and Irish studies.
The 'Global South' has largely supplanted the 'Third World' in
discussions of development studies, postcolonial studies, world
literature and comparative literature respectively. The concept
registers a new set of relationships between nations of the once
colonized world as their connections to nations of the North
diminish in significance. Such relationships register particularly
clearly in contemporary cultural theory and literary production.
The Global South and Literature explores the historical, cultural
and literary applications of the term for twenty-first-century
flows of transnational cultural influence, tracing their
manifestations across the Global Southern traditions of Africa,
Asia and Latin America. This collection of interdisciplinary
contributions examines the origins, development and applications of
this emergent term, employed at the nexus of the critical social
sciences and developments in literary humanities and cultural
studies. This book will be a key resource for students, graduates
and researchers working in the field of postcolonial studies and
world literature.
