Florida as symbol and myth is the subject of this collection of new critical essays exploring fiction written by female Floridian authors. In the words of author Karen Russell, the Sunshine State is "virtually past-less, seasons are out of the question, and it's built on a primordial park full of monsters." Discussing the state as setting, the essayists--also Floridians--suggest that it is a creation of the stories told about it. Each of the book's 12 chapters covers one author, including a brief biography followed by one (and twice, two) essays on some of the author's works. The book's final section includes interviews with authors Lynne Barrett, Jeannine Capo Cruz, Vicki Hendricks and Angela Hunt.

Jane Austen originally wrote for a Regency period audience and would never have predicted the success of her original works. The slew of variations and adaptations of Austen's works in both film and contemporary novels has grown into an industry with a fan-base waiting for more. This collection fills the gap in Austen scholarship between 2000 to the current moment. The authors examine universal and contemporary themes in Austen's literature ranging from classic romance to apocalyptic fiction. Essays cover Austen retellings with a New York City setting, Jane Austen and Islamic culture, and even a plot with zombies. This anthology demonstrates Jane Austen's enduring talent and relevancy.
