Softcover, 23 cm. Zustand: Sehr gut. 364 pp. A perfect copy. - Summary: This book explores the extent to which four sensation novelists responded to the Victorian theorizing of professionalism. A crucial period of redefinition of the professional ideal, the third quarter of the nineteenth century also witnessed the rise and the decline of the sensation novel, a scandalous and electrifying form that challenged aesthetic and socio-cultural standards. Owing to their controversial position in the literary marketplace, novelists like Wilkie Collins, Mary Elizabeth Braddon, Charles Reade and Ellen Wood developed a keen interest in professional issues, which occupy centre stage in their 1850s-70s narratives. By drawing on a variety of sociological, cultural and philosophical theories, Costantini skilfully assesses the ideological implications of the genre's fictionalization of professionalism. She shows how sensation novelists provocatively represented the challenges faced by both elite and rising professionals, who are used as narrative vehicles for thorny discourses on authorship, ethicality, aestheticism and sociocultural identity. - Contents: Part I - Cultural and artistic professionals -- Chapter 1: Serving God and Mammon: Victorian art, sensation and market imperatives -- Cultural challenges and artistic preoccupations -- An open forum for professional debates: the sensation novel -- Chapter 2: The trials of periodical-press occupations -- The "laborious duties" of a Victorian editor -- (Im)moral censure and professional criticism -- The "young Buccaniers" of Victorian journalism -- Chapter 3: The professional dilemmas of literati -- Wo/men of letters: writing and identity -- "I'm a scamp and a scoundrel": the professional ascent of a bohemian -- Profit-oriented and respectable: the contradictions of the bourgeois writer -- Chapter 4: Sensational virtuosi of the brush -- Vocation, labour and the temptations of customized art -- Roguery and artistry: incompatible notions? -- A respectable bohemian: towards a new model -- Chapter 5: Venal, playful, charming: the hallmarks of professional performers -- Going on the stage in the mid-nineteenth century -- Braddon's sensational actresses -- An amiable swindler: acting and cheating in No Name -- Part II - Tradition and innovation: medicine and the legal world -- Chapter 6: Victorian lawyering and the novel -- The homo ethicus and the redefinition of the old professions -- The legal world and literature: Victorian intersections -- The golden slavery of professionalism: three sensational models -- Chapter 7: Agents of law and order -- The rise of detectives: from history to fiction -- Variations of amateur detection -- Professionals in a quandary: career prospects and moral puzzles -- Chapter 8: Challenging the Hippocratic Oath: ethics and the medical profession -- Nineteenth-century medicine and the spirit of reform -- Sensational intersections: literature, medical practice and deontology -- Doctoring in the world of capitalist economy -- The new frontiers of gender: she-doctors and nurses.

Brossura. Zustand: new. A cura di Mariaconcetta Costantini e Federica D'ascenzo. Milano, 2026; br., pp. 240, cm 15x22. (Il Segno e le Lettere). La mascolinità nella letteratura e nelle arti. Decostruzione/evoluzione di modelli identitari è una raccolta di saggi che indaga le rappresentazioni della mascolinità in diverse culture, epoche e media. L'introduzione ripercorre la nascita dei Masculinities Studies e affronta la "crisi della mascolinità", tema centrale del dibattito contemporaneo. I tredici saggi analizzano il ruolo delle arti nella messa in discussione dei modelli maschili egemonici, mostrando come la mascolinità sia un concetto fluido, oscillante tra conservazione e trasformazione. L'identità maschile viene esplorata attraverso processi di decostruzione e ricostruzione, con approcci che spaziano dalla letteratura al cinema, fino alla pubblicità. Il volume offre così una prospettiva plurale e interdisciplinare sulla ridefinizione della mascolinità negli ultimi tre secoli, evidenziando l'efficacia delle narrazioni artistiche nel ripensare i ruoli di genere.

Hardback. Zustand: New. Re-examining nineteenth-century Eastscontributes novel approaches to gendered and gendering fictions and travel writing in and of the cultural-geographical-ideological contexts surrounding nineteenth-century Easts.

It discusses writers - travellers, novelists, and short-story writers - who authored texts based on their varied experiences in eastern lands.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Becoming Home: Diaspora and the Anglophone Transnational' is a collection of essays exploring national identity, migration, exile, colonialism, postcolonialism, slavery, race, and gender in the literature of the Anglophone world. The volume focuses on the dispersion or scattering of people in exile, and how those with an existing homeland and those displaced, without a politically recognized sovereign state, negotiate displacement and the experience of living at home-abroad. This group includes expatriate minority communities existing uneasily and nostalgically on the margins of their host country. The diaspora becomes an important cultural phenomenon in the formation of national identities and opposing attempts to transcend the idea of nationhood itself on its way to developing new forms of transnationalism. Chapters on the literature or national allegories of the diaspora and the transnational explore the diverse and geographically expansive ways in which Anglophone literature by colonized subjects and emigrants negotiates diasporic spaces to create imagined communities or a sense of home. Themes explored within these pages include restlessness, tensions, trauma, ambiguities, assimilation, estrangement, myth, nostalgia, sentimentality, homesickness, national schizophrenia, divided loyalties, intellectual capital, and geographical interstices. Special attention is paid to the complex ways identity is negotiated by immigrants to Anglophone countries writing in English about their home-abroad experience. The lived experiences of emigrants of the diaspora create a literature rife with tensions concerning identity, language, and belongingness in the struggle for home. Focusing on writers in particular geopolitical spaces, the essays in the collection offer an active conversation with leading theorizers of the diaspora and the transnational, including Edward Said, Bill Ashcroft, William Safran, Gabriel Sheffer, Stuart Hall, Homi Bhabha, Frantz Fanon, and Benedict Anderson.This volume cuts across the broad geopolitical space of the Anglophone world of literature and cultural studies and will appeal to professors, scholars, graduate, and undergraduate students in English, comparative literature, history, ethnic and race studies, diaspora studies, migration, and transnational studies. The volume will also be an indispensable aid to public policy experts.…
