Award-winning British novelist Margaret Drabble is renowned for her fiction, stories that gave voice to the new woman of the 1960s and continue to illuminate the conflicting roles of women in the twenty-first century. Drabble’s long affiliation with the theatrical world also inspired her to experiment with the dramatic form. She wrote two plays?one for television, Laura (1964), and one for the stage, Bird of Paradise (1969). Fernández’s penetrating new critical edition makes both plays available for the first time, giving Drabble fans a new vantage point from which to understand her work. In Laura and Bird of Paradise, Drabble mines the familiar territory of social class, domestic life, and questions of destiny, which have been the hallmark of her writing. As in her novels, both plays reveal a deep curiosity about the world and a piercing commentary on the social issues of her time. The volume’s introduction and accompanying critical essays give valuable insight into the plays’ historical and social context, and explore the artistic solutions that an accomplished author of fiction found when writing for the stage. Offering a fascinating complement to Drabble’s prodigious oeuvre, this volume also provides a glimpse into a specific period in English letters, one that shaped an influential generation of writers. - E-bokEngelska, 2019

Samuel Beckett and Translation explores the idea that at the core of Beckett’s work there is no fixed centre but a constant movement between variants of French and English. This collection of newly commissioned edited essays opens up original lines of enquiry into this restless impulse and how it finds a resonance in Beckett’s writing. Topics, including Beckett’s self-translations, translations of other authors and poetics of translation, are discussed in an Introduction and thirteen chapters followed by a section of commentary from seasoned translators who have worked on Beckett’s texts. In examining the full range of Beckett’s literary genres, this book presents how the high voltage released by Beckett’s bilingualism informs the intricacies of his literary production. - Häftad, Engelska, 2023

For nearly a century of being underestimated as a literary genre, the short story is currently experiencing a revival. The editors of this collection of articles have brought together the contributions of nine outstanding scholars in the field of the short story to reveal some of the many directions in which the genre is expanding. This book is a reasoned and well-documented anthology which casts light on new aspects of the short story. It participates in the current trend of short story criticism, characterized by the gathering in one single volume of a diversity of approaches with the main aim of promoting discussion on this thriving area of literary studies. The editors of this volume believe that a fruitful tension may rise by putting side by side insights into a not so well known tradition, on the one hand, and fresh considerations on unexpected developments of the short story, on the other. All in all, the short story emerges as a dynamic and flexible form that reacts and adapts itself better than any other literary genre to the challenges of the sceptical times we live in. - E-bokSpanska, 2025

Esta colección de ensayos sobre el humor en la obra de Samuel Beckett parte de una reacción contra la imagen estereotipada del premio Nobel irlandés de 1969 como autor solemne, angustiado y aburrido. Por el contrario, la mayoría de los expertos en su teatro, sus novelas y su poesía señalan el humor como parte fundamental de su universo creativo. Se trata, sin duda, de un humor complejo y que cumple muchas funciones en su escritura. Además, es un humor que cambia con el paso del tiempo, desde el humor satírico de sus primeros textos hasta los alivios cómicos de las obras más profundas de su última etapa, pasando por el humor descacharrante de sus novelas. Los artículos que aquí se reúnen, escritos por especialistas de diversas universidades europeas y americanas, componen el variopinto mosaico que conforma la producción literaria de un genio de la literatura del siglo XX, todo ello desde el prisma de la comicidad. - E-bokPDF, Spanska, 2025
