ISBN-13: 978-0-7391-2569-4, ISBN: 0-7391-2569-9

"A palimpsest is at once easy to define and, at the same time, so infinitely various as to defy all denotation. A thrifty technique employed by the ancients to recycle scarce resources? Or a metaphor for the human mind? A text that overwrites another text? Or a culture that overwrites another culture? This concise, readable volume examines texts written by such figures as William Blake, Wilkie Collins, Edgar Allan Poe, and Frederick Doug ..."






A Brighter Morn
The Shelley Circle's Utopian Project
by Darby Lewes, Christofer Foss, Kyle Grimes, Hugh Roberts, Melissa Sites, Lisbeth Chapin, Julie M. Dugger, James P. Silver
Hardcover, 176 Pages, Published 2003 by Lexington Books
ISBN-13: 978-0-7391-0472-9, ISBN: 0-7391-0472-1

"Percy Bysshe Shelley's utopian vision was largely a product of the tumultuous final quarter of the eighteenth century, when the American, French, and industrial revolutions profoundly changed the way in which social, political, and economic relationships were viewed. In A Brighter Morn, noted Shelley scholars identify the qualities of this unique brand of utopianism, which was a complex and frequently conflicted blend of the personal, p ..."

by Darby Lewes
Hardcover, 216 Pages, Published 1995 by University Alabama Press
ISBN-13: 978-0-8173-0795-0, ISBN: 0-8173-0795-8

"Dream Revisionaries charts the evolution of women's utopian writing in Britain and the United States between 1869 and 1920. This period saw the emergence of a new kind of utopian text--one that redefined women's roles in society and questioned the very foundations of the social order on both sides of the Atlantic. During the period under study, more than one hundred remarkably diverse utopian narratives written by women were published o ..."






Nudes from Nowhere
Utopian Sexual Landscapes
by Darby Lewes
Textbook Binding, 240 Pages, Published 2000 by Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN-13: 978-0-8476-9815-8, ISBN: 0-8476-9815-7

"Nudes from Nowhere is the history of the idea that women and the land are analogous. This idea is traced from the earliest etiological myths that present the earth as a womb from which life sprang, to British pornographic texts which feminized nature and masculinized culture. The ultimate effect of treating woman as landscape instead of land is to alter the metaphor of woman from wild nature to cultural artifact.This study further track ..."






Separate Spheres No More(1st Edition)
Gender Convergence in American Literature, 1830-1930
by Monika Elbert, Katharine Rodier, Karen S. Nulton, Karen E. Waldron, Dawn Keetley, Frederick Newberry, Darby Lewes, Lisette Nadine Gibson, Debra Bernardi, Jennifer Costello Brezina, Mary Louise Kete, Marianne Noble, Denise D. Knight, University Alabama Press
Paperback, 320 Pages, Published 2014 by University Alabama Press
ISBN-13: 978-0-8173-5779-5, ISBN: 0-8173-5779-3

"Although they wrote in the same historical milieu as their male counterparts, women writers of the 19th- and early 20th-centuries have generally been "ghettoized" by critics into a separate canonical sphere. These original essays argue in favor of reconciling male and female writers, both historically and in the context of classroom teaching.  While some of the essays pair up female and male authors who write in a similar style or with ..."






Auto-poetica
Representations of the Creative Process in Nineteenth-century British and American Fiction
by Darby Lewes, Laura Alexander, Jeffrey Cass, Georgia Corrick, Michelle Dougherty, Mary Durkee, Scott Ellis, Keren Fite, Paul Fox, Diane Hoeveler, Benjamin Johnson, Joseph Phelan, Nanette Thrush, Zoe Trodd, Tamara S. Wagner, Cynthia Wachtell, Juliette Wells, Dorthy Lewis
Hardcover, 264 Pages, Published 2006 by Lexington Books
ISBN-13: 978-0-7391-1651-7, ISBN: 0-7391-1651-7

"The nineteenth-century Künstlerroman self-consciously addresses the devices of fiction—and in doing so, tends toward irony and self-reflection, and prefigures postmodernism. A work of art written about an artist creating a work of art is, in a sense, a novel in which the author is a character. The essays in this collection examine the work of major nineteenth century authors that attempted to merge fiction and reality into a unified who ..."
