Synopsis

Following a scene-setting Introduction which reflects on the state of theory today, the 11 chapters in this volume introduce new areas of critical thinking which go beyond the standard isms: Literary Reading in a Digital Age; Critical Making in the Digital Humanities; Thing Theory; Memory Work and Criticism; Body, Objects, Technology; Criticism and The Animal; Multimodality and Linguistic Approaches to Literary Study; Critical and Creative Practice: Conditions for Success in the Writing Workshop; Affect Theory; Spectrality; Critical Climate Change. A final rounding off chapter on Historicising presents debates around historically oriented criticism, including a round table among the contributors. Each chapter also provides a critical case study of a text or texts, including poetry writing guides, a Seamus Heaney poem, film adaptations of Jane Austen s Pride and Prejudice and Charlotte Brontë s Jane Eyre, e-readers and kindles, First World War poetry and prose, steampunk, and Robert Macfarlane s The Old Ways. From Thing Theory to animal theory, multimodality to film adaptation, and from acts of reading in a digital age to the creative writing workshop, the volume reflects a radical reorientation in critical modes of thinking.
