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.

This book sketches the methodological and experimental qualities of Ann Radcliffe’s works, considering the use of history, fragmentation, generic slippage and narrative construction across her oeuvre. It provides a new reading of Radcliffe’s works, encompassing novels, travel writing and verse, in the light of historical philosophies around ‘presence’ and previously unstudied archival material. The book places her writings in fruitful dialogue with archival material that not only gives those works a sense of their late eighteenth-century context but also reveals the ways in which Radcliffe incorporated the concerns of her times, offering a broader reflection on what it means to write history. It draws parallels between the works of Radcliffe and significant late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century writers, from Samuel Taylor Coleridge to Edmund Burke, Mary Wollstonecraft and Joanna Baillie, showing Radcliffe’s transformative influence on late-eighteenth century literary tastes.
