Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Queer Nostalgia, Colonialism, and the Girls' Boarding School Novel, 1933-2023 revisits and re-evaluates the girls' boarding school novel from an intersectional lens. It analyses the role a queer aesthetic has played within the context of the boarding school imaginary in British and postcolonial literatures, and asks why the girls' boarding school is a place to which authors consistently return. Chris Roulston provides a fresh reading of how this literary subgenre engages with questions of temporality and history in ways that trouble notions of linear progression. Often bridging fiction and memoir, the boarding school narrative is typically part memory work and part social and political critique. Closely aligned with the history of colonialism and achieving its heyday as the British Empire reached global domination in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the girls' boarding school contributed to shaping nationalist and imperialist objectives. Drawing on six boarding school novels published between 1933 and 2023, including works from Britain, India, and Australia, this study questions whether queerness and queering within the genre disrupt normative and colonial models or they are in complicit alignment with the privileges the institution protects. For readers interested in queer theory, postcolonial studies, or the enduring cultural significance of boarding schools, this book offers fresh insights into a literary tradition that continues to captivate contemporary audiences.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. This is the first edited collection of essays on the nineteenth-century diarist Anne Lister. Now recognized as a UNESCO world heritage document, Lister's five-million-word diaries are paradigm-shifting in terms of their range of material, from social commentary and politics to breath-taking travel accounts. However, they have become most well-known for their explicit descriptions of same-sex practices, written in code and constituting a significant portion of their content. The essays here address the variety and interdisciplinarity of the diaries: Lister's negotiations with her own 'odd' identity, her multiple same-sex relationships, her involvement in politics and her lifelong thirst for knowledge. It also addresses Lister studies in popular culture through the successful Gentleman Jack BBC-HBO series, including an interview with Sally Wainwright and foreword by author Emma Donoghue. This title is part of the Flip it Open Programme and may also be available Open Access. Check our website Cambridge Core for details. Paper covered boards, very light signs of wear.
