Imagining Culture, first published in 1996, discusses literature as a whole rather than a partisan interest in those who are in or out of favour, and how that literature relates to other arts as well as to philosophical, historical, and cultural contexts. This title will be of interest to students of literature and cultural studies.

Perhaps best known for his widely acclaimed translations of the Greek tragedies and Herodotus's History, as well as his edition of Hobbes's Thucydides, David Grene has also had a major impact as a teacher and interpreter of texts both ancient and modern. In this book, distinguished colleagues and former students explore the imaginative force of literature and history in articulating and illuminating the human condition. Ranging as widely as Grene's own interests in Greek and Roman antiquity, in drama, poetry, and the novel, in the art of translation, and in English history, these essays include discussions of the Odyssey and Ulysses, the Metamorphoses of Ovid and Apuleius, Mallarmé's English and T. S. Eliot's religion, and the mutually antipathetic minds of Edmund Burke and Thomas Jefferson. The introduction by Todd Breyfogle sketches for the first time the contours of Grene's own thought. Classicists, political theorists, intellectual historians, philosophers, and students of literature will all find much of value in the individual essays here and in the juxtaposition of their themes. Contributors: Saul Bellow, Seth Benardete, Todd Breyfogle, Amirthanayagam P. David, Wendy Doniger, Mary Douglas, Joseph N. Frank, Victor Gourevitch, Nicholas Grene, W. R.

This is a reprint of the collection of essays originally published in book form in 1910. The first impression the book makes, on re-reading its interesting and at times brilliant criticisms, is the ever changing meaning of the word "modern." We are sure that if Professor Phelps were issuing such a book to-day, his choice of subjects would differ, both in omission and inclusion, from the list as here given. De Morgan, Bjornson, Sienkiewicz, and Blackmore would probably disappear, and those who could take their places would more than fill the volume. For, to mention only one, the greatest of "modern novelists," Mrs. Wharton, is not here, although The House of Mirth was published in 1905. Professor Phelps gives sound and discriminating criticism on Hardy, Howells, Mark Twain, Stevenson, Kipling, and Sudermann. He does not, we think, appreciate Mrs. Humphry Ward's portrayal of the atmosphere in which she places her characters, but he puts his finger on her weaknesses. He rightly protests against the Continental criticism of English and American novels on account of their reticence, for it is not a question of morality only, it is a question of the proper proportions in which one draws life. An interesting appendix contains his plea for the study of contemporary literature and an account of his experiences when he began to give a course on "The Modern Novel" at Yale about 1896. We remember the surprise we felt at that time, when this course was hailed as a great novelty, for we had taken a course in modern fiction at Pennsylvania with Professor Schelling several years before; but this essay, read now, proves again how fast time flies. Courses in modern literature are given everywhere now, and Professor Phelps can rightly be congratulated on being one of the pioneers in bringing trained academic judgment where it is vitally needed, that is, to the reading public who have to be told constantly what they should or should not read. -Educational Review, Vol. 64

A fresh and brilliantly told memoir from a cult favorite comic artist, marked by gothic twists, a family funeral home, sexual angst, and great books. This breakout book by Alison Bechdel is a darkly funny family tale, pitch-perfectly illustrated with Bechdel's sweetly gothic drawings. Like Marjane Satrapi's Persepolis, it's a story exhilaratingly suited to graphic memoir form. Meet Alison's father, a historic preservation expert and obsessive restorer of the family's Victorian home, a third-generation funeral home director, a high school English teacher, an icily distant parent, and a closeted homosexual who, as it turns out, is involved with his male students and a family babysitter. Through narrative that is alternately heartbreaking and fiercely funny, we are drawn into a daughter's complex yearning for her father. And yet, apart from assigned stints dusting caskets at the family-owned "fun home," as Alison and her brothers call it, the relationship achieves its most intimate expression through the shared code of books. When Alison comes out as homosexual herself in late adolescense, the denouement is swift, graphic -- and redemptive.

First Published in 2002. Amongst a time of rapid and radical social change, New Accents is a positive response to change, with each volume seeking to encourage rather than resist the process of change, to stretch rather than reinforce boundaries that currently define literature and its academic study. All the essays collected here deal in their different ways with 'popular fictions', but they were all, also, first published in the journal Literature and History. In that sense, then, they are quite literally 'essays in literature and history'.
