Reading Literature Historically: Drama and Poetry from Chaucer to the Reformation
5
 
 
Reading Literature Historically: Drama and Poetry from Chaucer to the ReformationPioneer of early-modern literary historicism reads Medieval & early Tudor drama & poetry historically. How far should we try to read medieval and early modern texts historically? Does the attempt to uncover how such texts might have been received by their original readers and audiences uncover new, hitherto unexpected contemporary resonances in them? Or does it flatten works of art into mere 'secondary sources' for historical analysis? This book makes the case for the study of literature in context.

Perspectives on Literature and Translation: Creation, Circulation, ReceptionThis volume explores the relationship between literature and translation from three perspectives: the creative dimensions of the translation process; the way texts circulate between languages; and the way texts are received in translation by new audiences. The distinctiveness of the volume lies in the fact that it considers these fundamental aspects of literary translation together and in terms of their interconnections.

Textual Parameters in Older Languages
2
 
 
Textual Parameters in Older LanguagesTextual Parameters in Older Languages takes a contemporary approach to the inherent limitations of using older texts as data for linguistic analysis, drawing on methods of text analysis, pragmatics and sociolinguistics to supplement traditional historical and philological methods. The focus of the book is on the importance of controlling for textual parameters-defined by the editors as dimensions of variation associated with texts and their production, including text type, degree of poeticality, orality, and dialect-in the analysis of older language data.

Acts of Reading: Teachers, Texts and Childhood
4
 
 
Acts of Reading: Teachers, Texts and ChildhoodActs of Reading looks at the history of reading and texts for children from an educational perspective. The texts selected date from the eighteenth century through to the digital age and beyond. They are examined through the eyes of their various audiences--the children, writers, teachers and parents--so as to explore the act of reading itself, whether oral, silent or performative, whether for pleasure or instruction. Also considered are the changing representations of childhood over three centuries and the influence of the visual on the acts of reading.
