Gender and Literary Geography

Gender and Literary Geography

Elizabeth F. Evans; Matthew Wilkens

Cambridge University Press
2025
pokkari
Our analysis of over 20,000 books published in Britain between 1800 and 2009 compares the geographic attention of fiction authored by women and by men; of books that focus on women and men as characters; and of works published in different eras. We find that, while there were only modest differences in geographic attention in books by men and women authors, there were dramatic geographic differences in books with highly gendered character space. Counter to expectation, the geographic differences between differently gendered characters were remarkably stable across these centuries. We also examine and complicate the power attributed to separate-sphere ideology. And we demonstrate a surprising reversal of critical expectation: in fiction, broadly natural spaces were more strongly associated with men, while urban spaces were more aligned with women. As it uncovers spatial patterns in literary history, this study casts new light on well-known texts and reimagines literature's broader engagement with gender and geography.

“Were I the Author of This Tale”

“Were I the Author of This Tale”

Elizabeth F. Geballe

UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO PRESS
2026
sidottu
“Were I the Author of This Tale” foregrounds Tolstoy’s lifelong habit of intervening in the work of others. Tolstoy’s work as an editor, commentator, anthologizer, re-writer, and especially translator began in his youth and kept him busy long after he had repudiated his own fiction. And yet this middleman – who co-founded the Intermediary publishing house, who wrote reams of letters to the authors he translated and to his own translators, who competed with the church to produce an authoritative translation of the Gospels – was distressed by the theoretical and practical necessity of mediation. Even as he translated, he yearned for a world in which God’s word would reach believers, just as an author’s words would reach audiences, without mediators. This book focuses on the tension created when Tolstoy’s compulsive need to speak for others confronts his conviction that universal literature speaks for itself. Caught in this paradox, Tolstoy produced a literary corpus that acknowledged the necessity of mediation while indulging in deep suspicions about interlingual translation. His translations, and fictional representations of translation, are frustrated attempts to deny his own mediating activity; but as Tolstoy seeks to hide, circumvent, and minimize the realities of life after Babel, he enriches contemporary theories of translation and becomes, despite himself, a translation theorist in his own right.

Semi-Citizenship in Democratic Politics

Semi-Citizenship in Democratic Politics

Elizabeth F. Cohen

Cambridge University Press
2014
pokkari
In every democratic polity there exist individuals and groups who hold some but not all of the essential elements of citizenship. Scholars who study citizenship routinely grasp for shared concepts and language that identify forms of membership held by migrants, children, the disabled, and other groups of individuals who, for various reasons, are neither full citizens nor non-citizens. This book introduces the concept of semi-citizenship as a means to dramatically advance debates about individuals who hold some but not all elements of full democratic citizenship. By analytically classifying the rights of citizenship and their various combinations, scholars can typologize semi-citizens and produce comparisons of different kinds of semi-citizenships and of semi-citizenships in different states. The book uses theoretical analysis, historical examples, and contemporary cases of semi-citizenship to illustrate how normative and governmental doctrines of citizenship converge and conflict, making semi-citizenship an enduring and inevitable part of democratic politics.

The Political Value of Time

The Political Value of Time

Elizabeth F. Cohen

Cambridge University Press
2018
pokkari
Waiting periods and deadlines are so ubiquitous that we often take them for granted. Yet they form a critical part of any democratic architecture. When a precise moment or amount of time is given political importance, we ought to understand why this is so. The Political Value of Time explores the idea of time within democratic theory and practice. Elizabeth F. Cohen demonstrates how political procedures use quantities of time to confer and deny citizenship rights. Using specific dates and deadlines, states carve boundaries around a citizenry. As time is assigned a form of political value it comes to be used to transact over rights. Cohen concludes with a normative analysis of the ways in which the devaluation of some people's political time constitutes a widely overlooked form of injustice. This book shows readers how and why they need to think about time if they want to understand politics.

Threshold Modernism

Threshold Modernism

Elizabeth F. Evans

Cambridge University Press
2021
pokkari
Threshold Modernism reveals how changing ideas about gender and race in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Britain shaped - and were shaped by - London and its literature. Chapters address key sites, especially department stores, women's clubs, and city streets, that coevolved with controversial types of modern women. Interweaving cultural history, narrative theory, close reading, and spatial analysis, Threshold Modernism considers canonical figures such as George Gissing, Henry James, Dorothy Richardson, H. G. Wells, and Virginia Woolf alongside understudied British and colonial writers including Amy Levy, B. M. Malabari, A. B. C. Merriman-Labor, Duse Mohamed Ali, and Una Marson. Evans argues that these diverse authors employed the 'new public women' and their associated spaces to grapple with widespread cultural change and reflect on the struggle to describe new subjects, experiences, and ways of seeing in appropriately novel ways. For colonial writers of color, those women and spaces provided a means through which to claim their own places in imperial London.
