Transnational Postcolonial Studies in the Twenty-First Century: Infrastructures, Literatures, Applications concerns itself with developments in the field of Postcolonial Studies in the twenty-first century. With its global reach and its showcasing of contributors who range from Early Career Researchers to Senior Scholars from a range of disciplines, including literature, architecture, digital media, and political ecology, this is an edited collection fully committed to exploring the proliferation of the field. The volume traces the trajectory of Postcolonial Studies through three defining categories – infrastructures, literatures and applications – tracking both the theoretical underpinnings and new intersections invited by cultural products and transnational postcolonial discourse in a global reality characterised by decentralisation, new technologies, and mass migration. This volume thus has implications for various literary, anthropological, pedagogical and political contexts, and speaks to how such research might be performed, as demonstrated through case studies and reflective essays.

The Laureates: Poetry and Public Office (1668–2029) explores the laureateship from the seventeenth century to the present day, touching upon well-known figures such as John Dryden, William Wordsworth, Alfred Tennyson, Ted Hughes, and Carol Ann Duffy, as well as poets who have long eluded scholarly attention, including William Whitehead, Henry James Pye, and John Masefield. The volume offers a critical reassessment of an often-overlooked institution, and asks how the office was shaped by those who have held the title, and how it, in turn, shaped their poetry. This fascinating survey of the changing ideas of the laureateship also tracks shifting conceptualisations of empire, monarchy and nation, as well as a marked consistency in office holders’ engagement with the preoccupations of the day, from war to social reform and from environmental concerns to the digital age and the pandemic.
