Collage in Twenty-First-Century Literature in English: Art of Crisis considers the phenomenon of the continued relevance of collage, a form established over a hundred years ago, to contemporary literature. It argues that collage is a perfect artistic vehicle to represent the crisis-ridden reality of the twenty-first-century. Being a mixture of fragmentary incompatible voices, collage embodies the chaos of the media-dominated world. Examining the artistic, sociopolitical and personal crises addressed in contemporary collage literature, the book argues that the 21st Century has brought a revival of collage-like novels and essays.

Max Porter is amongst the most exciting British writers of the twenty-first century. His striking books straddle the divide between poetry and prose as deftly as they combine literary experimentation with mainstream success. This book is the first study of his works to date, which encompass Grief Is the Thing with Feathers (2015), Lanny (2019), The Death of Francis Bacon (2021) and Shy (2023). It features a broad interdisciplinary array of essays (by poets, novelists, literary critics, art historians and educationalists), which collectively place Porter’s works in their contexts, shed light on his artistic vision and interpret his texts from a range of critical perspectives. The volume’s 12 chapters combine readings of the literary, formal, intertextual and experimental aspects of Porter’s works with discussions of their relation to social, political and ethical questions, whilst placing them in dialogue with highly topical critical and cultural debates, such as Englishness in the aftermath of Brexit, ecocriticism, affectivity and posthumanism.

An exploration of contemporary life writing’s dependence on different variants of the archive, this book examines the notion of the self-archive and how the modern emerging auto/biographical subject resists traditional narrative coherence and takes the form of a repository of self-contained elements. An answer to the trend of biographers and auto-biographers to increasingly eschew narrative to accentuate the fragmentary character and nature of experience – the tendency to ‘store’ rather than ‘story’ the self – Self-Archives in Contemporary Life Writing defines the self-archive as an arrangement of auto-biographical material. From recollections and personal documentation to objects owned, these archives all posess components that have been selected, sorted, and placed alongside one another according to a specific system.With each building block of the self-archive fragmentary and disconnected, author Wojciech Drag makes the case that so is the auto/biographical subject fragmented, unstable and elusive, defined by the data and objects they consume. With 20 experimental works of life writing considered, from Roland Barthes’s auto-encyclopaedia to a digital biography of Ludwig Wittgenstein, the book draws from case studies from over the last 50 years, by authors from the US, the UK, Canada, France and Poland. Divided into sections devoted to texts that rely on the alphabet for their structure (the encyclopaedia, the bibliography and the index) and formats that favour arbitrary order (the list, the inventory, the portfolio and the database), this book puts forward new vehicles for the auto-biographical mode.

The authors of this volume discuss the tangible need for a revision of the vocabulary of emotion used in literary criticism and culture studies. The articles offer a wide range of interdisciplinary approaches to emotional states such as love, shame, grief, nostalgia and trauma. They demonstrate that the once stable concept of emotion disintegrates in the course of re-evaluation and is replaced by such notions as affects, passions, feelings and emotions. This volume examines the representations of emotion in drama, poetry and prose – from the anonymous Court of Love (ca. 1500) to Ali Smith’s How to Be Both (2014) – as well as in life writing, music, the visual arts and theology.
