| Summary/Abstract |
This study covers a wide range of Doris Lessing's works, including all of the novels and a representative selection of her non-fictional prose and short stories. Her experiments with form are analyzed and her bold exposure of jargon, cliche, and the manipulative power of language is demonstrated.

| Summary/Abstract |
This study considers the play in relation to its historical contexts and contemporary relevance. It traces the dramatic unfolding of the plot through the social and theatrical spaces of Shakespeare's Vienna; court, convent, prison and public street. The author explores the intertwining of religion, sexuality, politics and morality in the institutions associated with the maintenance of social order in Vienna.

| Summary/Abstract |
Chang and transformation are central to the action, themes and language of 'A Midsummer Night's Dream.' In this lucid study, Helen Hackett shows how the play participates in a widespread 1590's concern with mutability; often, as here, expressed through moon-iamsgery and associated with representations of the ageing Virgin Queen. It is also very much a play about procreative change, set at one of the 'green hinges' of the year.

| Summary/Abstract |
This study explores the twenty-one novels of Muriel Spark, from 'The Comforters' to Aiding and Abetting and includes discussion of her short stories, poems and literary criticism. 'The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie,' Spark's best known work, is placed in a much broader social and literary context than is usual. Her traditional designation as a Catholic writer is also questioned throughout this study. It shows that her hybrid religious background has enabled her to become essentially a diasporic writer with a fluid sense of self.

| Summary/Abstract |
Peter Widdowson's new work identifies the elements Hardy's work, the focus on umstable class and sexual relations in a society undergoing rapid change, the highly-charged and contradictory representations of women at the heart of this dangerously 'metamorphic' social process; the self-reflexive artifice of the writing itself as an aspect of Hardy's satiric worldview and his ironic humanism in the 'new Dark Age' of the modern world.
