Abstract:

The review examines the collective monograph by Tatiana Kasatkina, Caterina Corbella, Tatiana Magaril-Il’iaeva, and Nikolay Podosokorsky titled Books in the Book. The Role and Image of Books in Fyodor Dostoevsky’s Novel The Idiot (Ed. T.A. Kasatkina. Moscow, IWL RAS, 2024. 392 p.). The work reviewed represents a perspective of research that has actively developed in recent years, characterized by a new terminological thesaurus and a new methodology for studying the role and image of books-within-books, which is fundamentally different from the traditional intertextual approach. The authors’ pr

Abstract What future aspirations have informed the incentives for producing children’s literature in Muslim minority communities? What social dynamics and theological debates have accompanied its visions of Islamic futures? What narrative tropes, visual-aesthetics norms and literary genres has it appropriated, while maturing into an innovative religious-pedagogic-literary expression? Probing such questions, this article challenges distinctions between “Islamic” and “secular” to build a concept of Islamically minded children’s literature.

Abstract:

Abstract The maternal role and its associated practices were subject to much scrutiny throughout the Victorian period. Whilst motherhood was seen as the natural destiny of the (respectable) woman, mothers were nonetheless deemed in need of strict guidance on how best to raise their offspring. This was offered in an extensive range of advice and conduct books, via newspapers, journals, and fiction, and from medical practitioners, and covered pregnancy, childbirth, and all aspects of care for babies and young children.

Judith Tick celebrated Browne as the “most prolific woman composer in America before 1870” in her landmark study American Women Composers before 1870. Browne, however, cast an enduring shadow as an author as well, publishing two books, a dozen poems, several Protestant morality tracts, and more than sixty music essays, nonfiction pieces, and short stories.

Abstract:

The article explores the usage of the expression "great fear" in texts of English literature from the 16th to 17th centuries. The analysis focuses on identifying the religious and secular contexts in which this phrase functioned, as well as understanding its meaning in early modern English culture. The research is based on materials from the Early English Books Online (EEBO) corpus, which includes thousands of English-language printed sources from the 16th and 17th centuries, such as sermons, theological treatises, historical chronicles, travelogues, pamphlets, and works of fiction.

Abstract:

Where Infinite Jest had allowed Wallace to go continually inside the calculating minds of addicts and consumers to find evidence of diminishing returns and enslavement, he turned to taxes in order to place in the background of his next novel innumerable arcane terms of valuation, transaction, and reconciling, the million acts of book-balancing that go on constantly at the IRS. Oblivion’s wariness about the saving power of work receives new accents in this examination of ascetics, and by elaborating anew my central terms of work, value, and political rhetoric, I add nuance to readings that have

Abstract:

This chapter discusses how fiction’s religion influences the readers’ own spiritual patency irrupting from an engagement with the fictional. In examining the fictitious scriptures of several comics works, this chapter arrives at a theory suggesting that these imagined sacred texts, these “fictoscriptures,” may allow us a new path for contact with our own sacred. There are seven observed traits of most fictoscriptures: archaic diction, kephalaiacparatext, prophetic revelation, rarity, stylized font, coded gnosis, and actualization.

Abstract:

This chapter serves as a theoretical and methodological framework for the book. The central discussion examines Patricia Leavy’s argument of how writing is itself a performative act that intersects with knowledge in ways that go beyond traditional data. Critically to the book, this chapter extends James Clifford’s definition of the term true fiction. The authors also offer the additional term choreographed narrative. They describe their application as fieldwork methods. In order to open up possibilities of other ways of knowing—the imaginative, the sensuous, the aesthetic—the authors rely on p
