Composition, Creative Writing and the Digital Humanities is essential reading for any writer, writing teacher or writing scholar who recognizes that writing in the 21st century is inextricably bound to technology. By establishing, via the Digital Humanities, a “point of contact,” between creative writing and composition studies as they converge and diverge, Adam Koehler recognizes and then maps the “shared space” between these two fields of writing studies, presciently locating digital modality in this intersection and describing its potential for not only illuminating and re-weaving these strands of scholarship together into something new, but also for creating both new texts and new knowledge.  A visionary, landscape-altering book, I will be recommending and teaching from it for a long time to come.

Prof. McKinley breathes fresh new life into masculinity studies with this penetrating and detailed examination of violence and masculinity in six master American writers in the third quarter of the Twentieth Century. The period from 1950 to 1975 is diverse and prime for mining meanings of masculinity out of these literary giants in their respective expressions of American manhood. McKinley’s theoretical template is fertile, derived from the work of seminal French Existentialism, particularly Sartre and De Beauvoir. What makes her analysis so powerful is that McKinley does not attempt to simply chronicle or explain motifs of masculinity. She moves one step further and interrogates them in the full force of Platonic inquiry. This study unsheathes moments of interpretations of masculinity and its underside—violence—in ways that are strikingly innovative, such as her exploration of the intertwining of aesthetics and violence within the complex tapestry of anxiety. The complications and struggles for gendered American identity are strikingly and compellingly articulated in this fine tome.

Making sense of art.106(2) TFEU and the case law around it is not an easy task and even less so is providing a critical and well-reasoned proposal for its improved implementation. Hence, the author of this book has surely chosen a challenging task and is to be congratulated for mastering it in great detail and with a commendable measure of sophistication throughout the book.

[The book] has, in my view, the rare quality of being both useful as a foundational theoretical analysis on the field of global education policy while at the same time providing clear insights into how the phenomena studied are having direct, real world consequences on education practice in general; from curricular practice to financing and the role of civil society and a variety of supranational stakeholders not previously characterized at this level of detail.

Plested's work does a considerable service in opening up the Macarian legacy to detailed scrutiny, and should serve to encourage scholars interested in sympathetic appraisal of the tradition to undertake a deeper exploration of its early representatives, particularly those who have received less attention to date.

Something of a prophet in Canada, Woodsworth (French studies, Concordia Univ., Montreal) offers here a tripartite explication of translation strategies principally by three prominent authors: George Bernard Shaw, Gertrude Stein, and Paul Auster. En passant, Woodsworth exposes the complex lives and extensive bibliographies of the three writers to yield insights into their acts of translation and interpretation. Explored are links between translating and (re)writing by these eminent authors who translate and how they conceptualized or even fictionalized the task of translation. The evolution of the translator’s voice and visibility is also scrutinized. Woodsworth's case studies illuminate a teleology of translation, insofar as the process may pay tribute, repay a debt, or cement a friendship. Bleak tales of loss, counterfeit, or hard labor may yet also complement with fresh perceptions, allowing translation, finally, to be taken not as a subservient art but as a literary act in its own right. Woodsworth's epilogue steps along further with discussion of three genre-bending and multidimensional storytellers: Jonathan Safran Foer, Rachel Cantor, and Idra Novey. Including extensive notes, this volume will be extremely useful for scholars in linguistics and translation studies. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty.
