Author: Elizabeth M. A. Hodgson
This first book-length feminist study of Donne argues that his sacred subject position is ambivalently
and illustratively invested in cultural archetypes of mothers, daughters,
and brides. The chapters focus on baptism, marriage, and death as key moments
in Donne's and his culture's construction of the gendered soul.

The Genius of the English Nation: Travel Writing and National Identity in Early Modern England

Genre and Ethics: The Education of an Eighteenth-Century Critic
Author: Edward Tomarken
This volume combines a literary critical version of genre with a pedagogical
conception of ethics. Tomarken's ethical position, influenced by Martha
Nussbaum, Emanuel Levinas, and Wayne Booth, centers upon the teaching of
a particular play, poem, drama, or movie. By this means, Tomarken develops
a concept of pedagogy that is based upon a critical foundation, one that
is theoretically informed but oriented to practice in the classroom.

Gleaning Modernity: Earlier Eighteenth-Century Literature and the Modernizing Process
Author: Eric Rothstein
Gleaning Modernity shows how earlier eighteenth-century literary texts might have eased the way for Britain's increasing Modernity. They allowed Modern scenarios to be played out imaginatively, as simulations for experimental, predictive ends. The process spoke to the needs and desires of readers in a world of rapid, managed change. Along with providing original readings of such major texts as Gulliver's Travels and Clarissa, this study enlarges our sense of the Modernizing process.
