The Elizabethans witnessed not only a great flowering of drama, but also a flourishing of fiction and the development of a literary entertainment business. Printing made possible a wide distribution of cheap books that found an audience in all sections of society. The large, new literary market enabled the presentation of different social viewpoints and encouraged an alternative to ‘official’ ideology. First published in 1985, Novel and Society in Elizabethan England presents a whole range of English fiction of the period against its social background. It considers the major authors of prose fiction—John Lyly, Philip Sidney, Thomas Nashe, Robert Greene, and Thomas Deloney—and examines how they organised their works for audiences with a specific social perspective.
In taking a functional view of literature, treating the novels not as static literary artefacts but in terms of their social role, Margolies redefines the idea of literary value. He offers a new, coherent view of the major figures of the Elizabethan novel, which should challenge the thinking of students of the novel and the age of Shakespeare.

The contradictions of modernisation run through the whole of modern Chinese history. The abundance of manufactured goods being sold in the west attests to China’s industrial revolution, but this capitalist vision of ''utopia'' sits uneasily with traditional Chinese values. It is also in conflict with the socialism that has been the bedrock of Chinese society since the foundation of the People’s Republic in 1949.
Utopia and Modernity in China examines the conflicts inherent in China''s attempt to achieve a ''utopia'' by advancing production and technology. Through the lenses of literature, arts, law, the press and the environment, the contributors interrogate the contradictions of modernisation in Chinese society and its fundamental challenges.
By unpicking both China''s vision of utopia and its realities and the increasing tension between traditional Chinese values and those of the west, this book offers a unique insight into the cultural forces that are part of reshaping today’s China.
