SOMMARIO

Mini-set 1: Reconsidering Shakespeare: 0-415-30017-7 Alternative Shakespeares Volume 1, Ed. John Drakakis, Hb: 0-415-28722-7 Alternative Shakespeares is a unique collection of essays by founding figures in the 1980s movement to remake Shakespeare studies. Drawing upon revolutionary work in the semiotics of drama, post-structuralism, psychoanalysis, feminism and Marxism, each essay challenges the Shakespeare myth and the assumptions underlying traditional modes of Shakespearean criticism. Alternative Shakespeares Volume 2, Ed. Terence Hawkes, Hb: 0-415-29117-8 This volume covers sexuality and gender; language and power; textuality and printing; new historicist criticism and the 'gaze' of the audience. Post-Colonial Shakespeares, Ed. Ania Loomba and Martin Orkin, Hb: 0-415-29118-6 This volume marked an exciting step forward in the dialogue between post-colonial studies and Shakespearean criticism and includes contributions from some of the leading critics in the field. Mini-set 2: Reassessing English: 0-415-30018-5 Re-reading English, Ed. Peter Widdowson, Hb: 0-415-29119-4 Re-reading English examines the rise of 'English' as an academic discipline, critical theories that have challenged the discipline's most fundamental presuppositions and the institutions that have influenced and accommodated the resulting changes. Rewriting English, Janet Batsleer, Tony Davies, R. O'Rouke and Chris Weedon, Hb: 0-415-29120-8 Rewriting English moves from an historical analysis and critique of the key concepts and values of liberal English Studies to an exploration of kinds of practices of writing - popular romances, women's writing, working class literature - long ignored or devalued by mainstream criticism. English and Englishness, B. Doyle, Hb: 0-415-29121-6 English and Englishness is an investigation of the changing social and cultural significance of English as a discipline, and the bearing of these developments on contemporary debates. Mini-set 3: Language, Signs, Literature: 0-415-30019-3 Linguistics and the Novel, Roger Fowler, Hb: 0-415-29122-4 Fowler uses the theory of language to provide a 'framework' for the general structure of fiction, a way of understanding 'plot', 'theme', 'character', 'style' and as a method of analysis for practical criticism of actual texts. Language and Style, E. L. Epstein, Hb: 0-415-29123-2 Epstein offers a new focus on various connected topics in the treatment of style as a human phenomenon, and especially the style of literary artefacts. The Semiotics of Theatre and Drama, Keir Elam, Hb: 0-415-28017-6 In 1980, The Semiotics of Theatre and Drama became the first English-language introduction to 'semiotic' approaches to theatrical performance. The second edition of this classic text provides a new postscript by the author and an updated bibliography. Mini-set 4: Structuralism, Post-Structuralism, Deconstruction: 0-415-30020-7 Structuralism and Semiotics, Terence Hawkes, Hb: 0-415-29124-0 'Hawkes ranges from Vico to Barthes, writing with a lucidity and grasp of essential points that is nothing short of astonishing' - Choice superstructuralism, Richard Harland, Hb: 0-415-29125-9 This text covers the major Superstructuralists: Saussure, Lacan, Benveniste, Jakobson, Lévi-Strauss, Barthes, Althusser, Foucault, Derrida, Kristeva, Deleuze and Guattari and Baudrillard. Deconstruction ed. 2, Christopher Norris, Hb: 0-415-28009-5 Since first appearing in 1982, Deconstruction: Theory and Practice has been acclaimed as by far the most readable, concise and authoritative guide to this topic.
