Palgrave Studies in Global Literatures and Religions Series

Series Editor: Heather Ostman

The Palgrave Studies in Global Literatures and Religion Series invites book proposals for essay collections or monographs that align with the Series’s intention:

Archives are valuable sites of memory and knowledge, as well as sites of violence and power. In a hyper-saturated world of post-truth and fake news, archives provide a powerful tool to understand the past, interpret the present and imagine better futures. Following Walter Benjamin’s saying, scholars have a responsibility to “brush history against the grain” when delving into archival documents, to find what is absent or hidden and make it speak again. This conference presents scholars with the opportunity to explore various questions that arise when facing archives as dynamic sites of memory: How do we challenge and deal with archives as sites of power? How can queer and marginal subjects be found or salvaged in archives that erase their presence?

Seeking presentations on literatures, theories, and pedagogies conducive to fostering metalinguistic appreciation and awareness in an age of disappearing foreign language requirements. 300-word abstract and short CV.

In a book chapter published in 2015, Professor Emma Smith reflected that while “only the writing partnership with John Fletcher at the end of Shakespeare’s career is known to have lasted beyond a single play ... [Thomas] Middleton may yet emerge as a more significant collaborator. In addition, Middleton’s own plays show him to be a creative and responsive early reader and reviser of the older playwright’s work” (297).
