A new scholarly edition of a bold yet overlooked Victorian text that blends the genres of memoir, travelogue, ethnography and the realist novelPermits students and academic researchers to access more subtle assessments of Lavengro, as well as a range of relevant contextsReappraises the relation of Lavengro to nineteenth-century writings on Romani and traveller cultureExplores George Borrow's influence on an array of later Victorian and modernist authors such as Ford Madox Ford and Virginia Woolf.Surveys and gauges recent debates and critical accounts of George Borrow's life and literary careerThis critical edition of George Borrow's Lavengro: The Scholar, The Gypsy, The Priest (1851) brings a renewed focus on a formally inventive and original text for scholars of the nineteenth-century autobiographical novel and travelogue. This edition reflects and develops research that anchors Borrow's energetically eccentric vision in a range of notable contexts. The scholarly introduction gives readers unfamiliar with the formidably prolific Borrow an opportunity to discover more about this author's career at home and abroad (as a translator for the British and Foreign Bible Society), his stylistic innovations, and how Lavengro evokes a 'wild England' that became crucial for admirers in the next century such as D.H. Lawrence, Ford Madox Ford, and Virginia Woolf.

Assessing the full range of Borrow's published texts, as well as his remarkable impact on a diverse range of Edwardian and modernist cultural producers in the half-century following his death, this book explores the context, origins and development of Borrow's imaginative enterprise. This project attests to Borrow's pivotal influence on verbal, visual and performative representations of the 'gypsy' between 1840 and 1945 when, as David Cressy observes, 'more was written in English' about the Romany than 'in any previous period of history'. It also uncovers how Borrow's stylistic idiosyncrasies and formal innovations extend across and between genres, and further into the transitional gaps between life-writing and land-writing and how his books, which were once runaway bestsellers, became side-lined and mere footnotes in the Victorian canon.

New Readings of Elizabeth von Arnim: The Unexpected Modernist consolidates the growing field of Elizabeth von Arnim studies and points to new trajectories for further research. Bringing together recognised and emerging scholarly voices and featuring previously unseen archival materials, this volume introduces key contexts for reading von Arnim’s work at an important point in her re-appraisal as a writer. Its eleven chapters highlight critical debates related to modernism, feminism and the middlebrow and explore new contexts such as fashion and material culture, medical humanities, ageing studies, music and the visual arts. By focusing on neglected novels from von Arnim’s oeuvre and examining better-known work from new perspectives, the volume paves the way for the next decade of von Arnim studies and beyond.

Presents authoritative analyses of the religious terrain of the modernist periodPresents authoritative scholarly analyses of the religious terrain of the modernist periodIncludes 30 + specially commissioned chapters on modernist myth, religion and alternative spirituality representing the breadth and freshness of research in this areaForegrounds early-career scholars as well as internationally recognized researchers who have illuminated the field of modernist discourse around religion and mythResponds to and builds upon a renewed scholarly fascination with modernist experiment, religious history, and theology a field of interest which has energized the humanities, especially in literary and cultural studiesHighlights the interconnections between spirituality, aesthetics, and politics in this periodUntil fairly recently, the 'Authorised Version' of cultural modernism stated that the secularising trends of liberal modernity and the resultant emphasis on irony, parody and dissolution in modernist artforms had pushed religion to the edges of early twentieth-century culture. This Companion complicates this understanding by furnishing students and academic researchers with more nuanced and probing assessments of the intersections and tensions between religion, myth and creativity during this half century of geopolitical ferment. It addresses the variety and specificity of modernist spiritualities as well as the intricately textured and shifting standpoints that modernist figures have occupied in relation to theological traditions, practices, creeds and institutions. What emerges is a multi-textured account of modernism's deep-rooted concern with the historical and established forms of religion, as well as new engagements with 'occulture' and indigenous traditions. In short, the Companion supplies a lively and original exploration of the aesthetic, publishing, technological and philosophical trends that shape debates about spirituality, community and self from the 1890s to the 1940s and beyond.
