The Oxford History of the Novel in English is a twelve-volume series presenting a comprehensive, global, and up-to-date history of English-language prose fiction, written by a large, international team of scholars. The series is concerned with novels as a whole, not just the'literary'novel, and each volume includes chapters on the processes of production, distribution, and reception, and on popular fiction and the fictional sub-genres, as well as outlining the work of major novelists, movements, and tendencies. This book offers an account of US fiction during a period demarcated by two traumatic moments: the eve of the entry of the United States into the Second World War and the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic. The aftermath of the Second World War was arguably the high point of US nationalism, but in the years that followed, US writers would increasingly explore the possibility that US democracy was a failure, both at home and abroad. For so many of the writers whose work this volume explores, the idea of'nation'became suspect as did the idea of'national literature'as the foundation for US writing. Looking at post-1940s writing, the literary historian might well chart a movement within literary cultures away from nationalism and toward what we would call'cosmopolitanism,'a perspective that fosters conversations between the occupants of different cultural spaces and that regards difference as an opportunity to be embraced rather than a problem to be solved. During this period, the novel has had significant competition for the US public's attention from other forms of narrative and media: film, television, comic books, videogames, and the internet and the various forms of social media that it spawned. If, however, the novel becomes a'residual'form during this period, it is by no means archaic. The novel has been reinvigorated over the past eighty years by its encounters with both emergent forms (such as film, television, comic books, and digital media) and the emergent voices typically associated with multiculturalism in the United States.

Providing an accessible and comprehensive overview, The Story of the Salem Witch Trials explores the events between June 10 and September 22, 1692, when nineteen people were hanged, one was pressed to death and over 150 were jailed for practicing witchcraft in Salem, Massachusetts.This book explores the history of that event and provides a synthesis of the most recent scholarship on the subject. It places the trials into the context of the Great European Witch-Hunt and relates the events of 1692 to witch-hunting throughout seventeenth-century New England. Now in a third edition, this book has been updated to include an expanded section on the European origins of witch-hunts, an updated and expanded epilogue (which discusses the witch-hunts, real and imagined, historical and cultural, since 1692), and an extensive bibliography.This complex and difficult subject is covered in a uniquely accessible manner that captures all the drama that surrounded the Salem witch trials. From beginning to end, the reader is carried along by the author's powerful narration and mastery of the subject. While covering the subject in impressive detail, Bryan Le Beau maintains a broad perspective on the events and, wherever possible, lets the historical characters speak for themselves. Le Beau highlights the decisions made by individuals responsible for the trials that helped turn what might have been a minor event into a crisis that has held the imagination of students of American history. This third edition of The Story of the Salem Witch Trials is essential for students and scholars alike who are interested in women's and gender history, colonial American history, and early modern history.

Winner, 2023 Columbia University Press Distinguished Book AwardWinner, 2023 Frank Luther Mott / Kappa Tau Alpha Research AwardWinner, 2023 Journalism Studies Division Book Award, International Communication AssociationWinner, 2023 History Book Award, Association for Education in Journalism and Mass CommunicationLong before the current preoccupation with “fake news,” American newspapers routinely ran stories that were not quite, strictly speaking, true. Today, a firm boundary between fact and fakery is a hallmark of journalistic practice, yet for many readers and publishers across more than three centuries, this distinction has seemed slippery or even irrelevant. From fibs about royal incest in America's first newspaper to social-media-driven conspiracy theories surrounding Barack Obama's birthplace, Andie Tucher explores how American audiences have argued over what's real and what's not—and why that matters for democracy.Early American journalism was characterized by a hodgepodge of straightforward reporting, partisan broadsides, humbug, tall tales, and embellishment. Around the start of the twentieth century, journalists who were determined to improve the reputation of their craft established professional norms and the goal of objectivity. However, Tucher argues, the creation of outward forms of factuality unleashed new opportunities for falsehood: News doesn't have to be true as long as it looks true. Propaganda, disinformation, and advocacy—whether in print, on the radio, on television, or online—could be crafted to resemble the real thing. Dressed up in legitimate journalistic conventions, this “fake journalism” became inextricably bound up with right-wing politics, to the point where it has become an essential driver of political polarization. Shedding light on the long history of today's disputes over disinformation, Not Exactly Lying is a timely consideration of what happens to public life when news is not exactly true.

«La fama de Sherlock Holmes será tan inmortal como la de Pickwick, don Quijote, Hamlet, don Juan o cualquier otro personaje clásico», dice en 1911 uno de los personajes de esta antología. Por supuesto, su vaticinio se ha cumplido, y prueba de la inmensa popularidad del personaje es que en 1892, J. M. Barrie, el autor de Peter Pan, ya escribía en una revista los efectos de «Mi velada con Sherlock Holmes», apenas cuatro meses después de la publicación del primer relato que protagonizó, Desde entonces han proliferado los pastiches, las parodias, las recreaciones, los homenajes: a veces pura fan fiction, rendida y candorosa, a veces sátira implacable (véase la salvajada de Mark Twain «Un cuento de detectives en dos partes») y a veces competitiva emulación («Sherlock Holmes no llega a tiempo» de Maurice Leblanc o «La desaparición del señor James Phillimore» de Ellery Queen), no podría decirse, en general, que este subgénero haya contribuido a la desmitificación del gran detective, sino más bien a realzar su genio y excentricidad. Los otros Sherlocks Holmes (1892-1944) es una pequeña antología –seleccionada y presentada por Pablo Muñoz– de dieciocho cuentos donde «el Napoleón de los detectives, el Aristóteles del pensamiento analítico» despliega sus métodos y su peculiar idiosincrasia no solo en sus escenarios habituales sino también en la California de la fiebre del oro, en Múnich, en Copenhague, en Varsovia o en la taiga siberiana. Un volumen que será una delicia para los innumerables fans de la más celebre creación de Arthur Conan Doyle. Autores recogidos en esta antología: J. M. Barrie - Bret Harte - Mark Twain - Sadie Shaw - Maurice Leblanc - Ludwig Thoma - P. G. Wodehouse - Leo Belmont - Frans Oskar Wågman - P. Orlovets - O. Henry - Enrique Jardiel Poncela - Ellery Queen

Work in all its guises is a fundamental part of the human experience, and yet it is a setting where emotions rarely take centre stage. This edited collection interrogates the troubled relationship between emotion and work to shed light on the feelings and meanings of both paid and unpaid labour from the late 19th to the 21st century. Central to this book is a reappraisal of'emotional labour', now associated with the household and'life admin'work largely undertaken by women and which reflects and perpetuates gender inequalities. Critiquing this term, and the history of how work has made us feel, Feelings and Work in Modern History explores the changing values we have ascribed to our labour, examines the methods deployed by workplaces to manage or'administrate'our emotions, and traces feelings through 19th, 20th and 21st century Europe, Asia and South America. Exploring the damages wrought to physical and emotional health by certain workplaces and practices, critiquing the pathologisation of some emotional responses to work, and acknowledging the joy and meaning people derive from their labour, this book appraises the notion of'work-life balance', explores the changing notions of professionalism and critically engages with the history of capitalism and neo-liberalism. In doing so, it interrogates the lasting impact of some of these histories on the current and future emotional landscape of labour.
