Writers on... Nature

A Book of Quotations, Poems and Literary Reflections

By: Amelia Carruthers

The 'Writers on...' series is a collection of extracts, anecdotes, quotations and occasional philosophical musings from the world's most influential authors. It celebrates writers who have an individual, creative outlook on the world; on subjects from 'drink' to 'death', and 'love' to 'libraries'. Starting with ancient civilisations and moving towards the present day, this collection of intellectual and often humorous reflections provides a fascinating insight into a vast array of topics. What all these issues have in common though, is that in some way they have all enthused, influenced, ensnared or concerned the greatest writers of the day. Writers on Nature illustrates the complex - at times spiritual, animal, intellectual and emotional - relationships between writers and the environment. It is a connection as essential as it is intense, and joyous as it is painful. This anthology allows for an appreciation of the literary world's greatest reflections on the place we all call home - Nature.

The Printed Reader

Gender, Quixotism, and Textual Bodies in Eighteenth-Century Britain

By: Amelia Dale

The Printed Reader explores the transformative power of reading in the eighteenth century, and how this was expressed in the fascination with Don Quixote and in a proliferation of narratives about quixotic readers, readers who attempt to reproduce and embody their readings. The collection brings together key debates concerning quixotic narratives, print culture, sensibility, empiricism, book history, and the material text, connecting developments in print technology to gendered conceptualizations of quixotism.

Owning the Street

The Everyday Life of Property

By: Amelia Thorpe

How local, specific, and personal understandings about belonging, ownership, and agency intersect with law to shape the city. In Owning the Street, Amelia Thorpe examines everyday experiences of and feelings about property and belonging in contemporary cities. She grounds her account in an empirical study of PARK(ing) Day, an annual event that reclaims street space from cars. A popular and highly recognizable example of DIY Urbanism, PARK(ing) Day has attracted considerable media attention, but has not yet been the subject of close scholarly examination. Focusing on the event's trajectories in San Francisco, Sydney, and Montreal, Thorpe addresses this gap, making use of extensive interview data, field work, and careful reflection to explore these tiny, temporary, and often transformative interventions.

Writers On... Sex (A Book of Quotes, Poems and Literary Reflections)

By: Amelia Carruthers

The 'Writers on...' series is a collection of extracts, anecdotes, quotations and occasional philosophical musings from the world's most influential authors. It celebrates writers who have an individual, creative outlook on the world; on subjects from 'drink' to 'death', and 'love' to 'libraries'. Starting with ancient civilisations and moving towards the present day, this collection of intellectual and often humorous reflections provides a fascinating insight into a vast array of topics. What all these issues have in common though, is that in some way they have all enthused, influenced, ensnared or concerned the greatest writers of the day. Writers on...Sex provides a dramatic window into some of the most influential author's relationships with copulation. It encompasses extracts from clandestine correspondences to the loudest of public proclamations, and contains some of history's most enduring meditations on fornication, procreation and sensuality. Vacillating between all-consuming passions and rational, cynical, even comical analyses, this collection offers an intriguing overview of that most universal of activities - Sex.
