This book explores Charlotte Smith’s Elegiac Sonnets and clarifies its ‘place’ – understood in multiple ways – in literary history. It argues that Smith’s work engages more deeply with tradition than has hitherto been realised and revises our understanding not only of Smith’s career but also of the sonnet in eighteenth-century England.

This study connects the idiosyncratic modernism of Wyndham Lewis, co-founder of the Vorticist art movement, with works of several artists from the British art rock tradition, among them Bryan Ferry, David Bowie, art-punk pioneers Wire and electronic pop musician John Foxx. By taking a transdisciplinary and intermedial approach to texts from two fields normally studied in isolation and staking out the elements of a shared modernist ethos, the book presents a new perspective on both fields relevant to scholars of literature, popular culture, and the visual arts alike. While the book rests on sound research from the fields of literary criticism, art history, and pop theory, the structure and writing of the book is fundamentally designed to be accessible and comprehensible to non-scholarly readers.

The American suburb is a space dominated by architectural mass production, sprawl, as well as a monotonous aesthetic eclecticism, and many critics argue that it has developed from a postwar utopia into a disorienting environment with which it is difficult to identify. The typical suburb has come to display characteristics of an atopia, that is, a space without borders or even a non-place, a generic space of transience. Dealing with the representation of architecture and the built environment in suburban literature and film from the 1920s until present, this study demonstrates that in its fictional representations, too, suburbia has largely turned into a place of non-architecture. A lack of architectural ethos and an abundance of "Junkspace" define suburban narratives, causing an increasing sense of disorientation and entropy in fictional characters.

This book provides a detailed linguistic analysis of the communication between highly proficient bilingual couples, each consisting of a native speaker of English and of Swiss German. Combining the accounts of ten couples on their language use with an analysis of their actual linguistic behaviour, several areas of the partners' speech and interaction were closely examined. These include their language choice and language mixing, attitudes, expression of emotions, swearing, as well as their humour and laughter. In addition, the influence of the bilinguals' mother tongue and gender on their language use was explored. Thus, the study provides valuable insights into the language practices of established bilingual couples, while also contributing to the fields of fluent late bilingualism and gender research.

This study examines concepts of morality and structures of domestic relationships in Samuel Richardson's novels, situating them in the context of eighteenth-century moral writings and reader reactions. Based on a detailed analysis of Richardson's work, this book maintains that he sought both to uphold hierarchical concepts of individual duty, and to warn of the consequences if such hierarchies were abused. In his final novel, Richardson aimed at a synthesis between social hierarchy and individual liberty, patriarchy and female self-fulfilment. His work, albeit rooted in patriarchal values, paved the way for proto-feminist conceptions of female character.

In Brian Friel's writing, the distinction between public and private is closely linked to the concepts of home, family, identity and truth. This study examines the characters' excessive introspection and their deep-seated need to disclose their most intimate knowledge and private truths to define who they are and, thus, to oppose dominant discourse or avoid heteronomy. This study begins by investigating how a number of Anglo-Irish writers publicised their characters' private versions of truth thereby illustrating what they perceived to be the space of 'Irishness'. The book then focuses on Friel's techniques of sharing his character's private views to demonstrate how he adopted and adapted these practices in his own oeuvre. As the characters' superficial inarticulateness and their vivid inner selves are repeatedly juxtaposed in Friel's texts, his oeuvre, quintessentially, displays a great unease with the concepts of communication and absolute truth.

Die Aufsätze dieses mehrsprachigen Bandes vermitteln einen besonderen Blick auf die vielfältige europäische Poesie des 19. Jahrhunderts, die hier konsequent unter dem Aspekt des Gedichtzyklus bzw. des komponierten Gedichtbuches betrachtet wird. Dies hat einen eigenen ästhetischen und intellektuellen Reiz. Die Zyklisierung versetzt das individuelle Gedicht in eine spezifische Bewegung, die aus dem Einzeltext selbst nicht hervorgeht. Auch schafft sie ein Widerspiel zwischen Ganzheitssuggestionen und poetischen Ganzheitsdestruktionen, die einer Architektur der ständig bewegten Wolken gleicht. Wie kann ein epochentypisches «Zyklusbewusstsein» rekonstruiert werden? Wie reflektieren sich die verschiedenen Stadien der europäischen Romantik und der Postromantik in Kompositionsformen und -stilen zyklisierter Gedichtgruppen? Wie lassen sich grenzüberschreitende Inspirationen und Anknüpfungen in diesem Bereich erfassen? Wie steht es um eine Theorie des Gedichtzyklus samt verwandten Formen und seiner literarhistorischen Evolution? Und wie lassen sich solche Kompositionsformen ohne allzu viel Pedanterie darstellen? Solche Fragen ziehen sich durch alle Beiträge. Der komparatistisch gedachte Band ist aus einem mehrjährigen Nationalfondsprojekt der Freiburger Professoren Rolf Fieguth (Slavistik) und Alessandro Martini (Italienische Literatur) hervorgegangen, die Autoren sind zumeist Mitarbeiter der Universität Freiburg/Schweiz.
