Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, a novel she composed at the age of 19, is a widely read and studied work to this day, noted for the deft way its young author combined Romantic sensibility with a meditation on the ethical considerations to which advancements in science and technology give rise. Bloom's How to Write about Mary Shelley includes guidance on ways students can write effective essays about this noted author. An introduction from noted scholar Harold Bloom, bibliographies, and an index are also featured.

A tradition of poets that includes Emily Dickinson, Marianne Moore, and Elizabeth Bishop has a palpable distinction, but it may be too soon to speak or write of a canon of “American women poets.” The poets studied in this volume are not chosen arbitrarily, yet consideration of the book’s length as well as the poets’ canonical probability have entered into my selection. But the poets studied here do seem a central grouping, and the canonical process is always an ongoing one anyway. Future editions of this volume may be relied on to correct emphases and clarify choices.

A major, thoughtful study, applying new and serious interpretative and critical perspectives to a central range of Old English poetry. Professor John Hines, Cardiff University Cognitive approaches to literature offernew and exciting ways of interpreting literature and mentalities, by bringing ideas and methodologies from Cognitive Science into the analysis of literature and culture. While these approaches are of particular value in relation to understanding the texts of remote societies, they have to date made very little impact on Anglo-Saxon Studies.
