<b>A complete edition, including much previously uncollected and unpublished material</b><br/><br/>The <i>Collected Prose </i>stands alongside the <i>Journals</i> (2000) and the two volume <i>Letters</i> (2017 and 2018) to support a more complete understanding of Sylvia Plath's ambition and achievement as a writer. Expanding on the selection published as <i>Johnny Panic and the Bible of Dreams </i>(1977), this volume draws together all of Sylvia Plath's shorter prose, much of which is previously uncollected and unpublished. The volume embraces her experiments with the short story and pieces of non-fiction from the 1940s through to her more polished compositions of the fifties and early sixties, including fragments of fiction as well as her journalism and book reviews. Themes and associations become apparent as the volume offers new, intertextual ways of reading across Plath's oeuvre, colouring and shading our understanding and appreciation of her extraordinary talent.

The Twilight novels by Stephenie Meyer have developed from a bookseries into a powerful phenomenon with an astonishing impact. Not only have the books been adapted for the screen, but they have also spawned a huge number of works by fans, readers, reviewers, and scholars. The multifaceted Interdisciplinary Approaches to Twilight brings together scholars from a variety of disciplines in order to address the key themes in the complex global phenomenon that is Twilight; a phenomenon that transcends the boundaries between continents, generations, and producers and consumers and not least between different genres and media. The authors present in-depth literary and film analyses, and shed new light on perspectives on gender, fandom, vampire fiction and the economics of the book market. Interdisciplinary Approaches to Twilight fills a void in Twilight research, and, linked by their cutting-edge research and unique theoretical and analytical perspectives, the authors compellingly map a massive global experience that speaks to the realities of contemporary culture. Stephenie Meyers Twilight började som en serie ungdomsromaner men har blivit ett växande globalt fenomen. Romanerna har filmatiserats och gett upphov till en mängd sidomaterial skapat av medieindustri, fans och recensenter. I Interdisciplinary Approaches to Twilight undersöker en tvärvetenskaplig grupp forskare nyckelteman i och kring Twilight. De kartlägger en komplex företeelse som överskrider gränser mellan kontinenter, generationer, producenter, konsumenter och medieformer och genrer. Författarna gör analyser av exempelvis genus, fankultur, bokmarknaden och vampyrfiktionen som genre. Förenade av skarpsynta teoretiska resonemang, kunnighet om populärkultur och analytiska ståndpunkter fördjupar skribenterna kunskapen om den samtida kulturella massupplevelse som är Twilight.

For the first time ever, cutting-edge research about the Swedish Nobel Laureate Selma Lagerlöf and her work is made available to a world-wide audience in one comprehensive volume. Written by an international group of scholars, Re-Mapping Lagerlöf highlights the interdisciplinarity of current Lagerlöf research which frequently cuts across genres, media and disciplines. The structure of the book, with sections dedicated to performance, film and intermediality, transnational narratives and European transmissions, is reinforced by the extensive introductory portal. The authors explore themes such as Lagerlöf in and political contexts, her involvement in the womens movement, the construction of her celebrity persona, her role for early Swedish film, the transnationality of her work and its impact in international contexts. The volume includes a number of illustrations that are rarely reproduced, and the detailed bibliographical section will contribute to making Re-Mapping Lagerlöf an indispensable platform for Lagerlöf scholarship for years to come. It also offers a model for interdisciplinary research in the arts and humanities. För första gången presenteras för internationell publik högaktuell forskning om nobelpristagaren Selma Lagerlöf i en heltäckande volym. Re-Mapping Lagerlöf innehåller bidrag av en grupp internationella forskare och lyfter fram de tvärvetenskapliga dimensionerna i dagens Lagerlöfforskning, som ofta går på tvärs över gränserna mellan genrer, medier och discipliner. Bokens struktur, med sektioner om framställning/föreställning, film och intermedialitet, transnationella berättelser samt översättningar och reception i andra europeiska länder, stryks under i den utförliga inledande portalen. Författarna tar upp teman som Lagerlöf i kulturella och politiska kontexter, hennes engagemang i kvinnorörelsen, konstruktionen av Lagerlöf som kändis, och hennes betydelse för tidig svensk film. Boken innehåller en rad illustrationer som inte har publicerats tidigare, och den omfattande bibliografin kommer att bidra till att göra Re-Mapping Lagerlöf till en plattform för Lagerlöfforskning i många år framåt. Boken syftar också till att fungera som modell för tvärvetenskaplig forskning inom humaniora. Contributors: Jenny Bergenmar, University of Gothenburg, Sweden.
