🏴 📖 **Sexual politics in revolutionary England**
"_Over the next two decades, sexual politics evolved into a vital component of public discourse, as contemporaries utilized sexual satire to reframe the English Revolution as a battle between licentious Stuart tyrants and their lecherous puritan enemies._"

📚 **The Association of University Presses: ‘Essential Reading’ on Immigration**

🔴 📖 **Beyond the River, Under the Eye of Rome**
“_Hart delves into the cultural and political impacts of Rome's interactions with Transdanubian peoples, emphasizing the Sarmatians of the Hungarian Plain, whose long encounter with the Roman Empire, he argues, created a problematic template for later dealings with Goths and Huns based on misapplied ethnographic and ecological tropes._”

If a literary movement arises but no one notices, is it still a movement?
Over the last ten decades, #poets working in #fantasy, #sciencefiction, and #horror have collectively brought forth a revival in alliterative #poetics akin to what once happened in the mid-14th century.
This anthology collects for the first time over 50 speculative poets from across North America and Europe.
Alongside such established names as C. S. Lewis, Patrick Rothfuss, Edwin Morgan, Poul Anderson, Jo Walton, P.K. Page, and W.H. Auden, this anthology includes representative texts from cultural movements such as contemporary neo-Paganism and the Society for Creative Anachronism. A lengthy critical introduction by the editor—written accessibly for a general audience—explains and contextualizes the Modern Revival for critics and readers alike.

#poetry #poems #universitypress #universitypresses #publishing #books
“What interests me in poetry is the interplay of language, the page, and silence. Heaven falls out of words because possibility is in the page, another kind of heaven; I wonder if that’s the only heaven we are given to know in life.” -- Edward Dickinson (Ted) Blodgett
E.D. Blodgett’s final volume of #poems *Walking Into God*, is the culmination of the poet’s lifelong devotion to a #poetry and poetics of the sacred. His mastery of craft, including cadence and sustained musicality, is unsurpassed in #Canadian literature. Though this volume is divided into two parts (or sequences), these compressed poems present as a single long poem that explores the processes of walking, moving, changing, and evolving within a unified field.
This is the first volume in the Keyishian Poetry Series.
Time for an #introduction! Fairleigh Dickinson University Press left social media dormant for a spell, and now it's time to think about how best to be public and promote our #authors This feels like the right time and place.
With editorial offices in #Vancouver, British Columbia, FDUP publishes #scholarly #books for the academic market. Since our establishment in 1967 in Madison, New Jersey, we have published well over 1,500 titles in the humanities, arts, and social sciences.
It seems hopeful that #Mastodon and the Knowledge Commons instance are the right place to engage meaningfully with scholarly authors and readers.
We'll post about our recent titles and will share other posts about #universitypress #universitypresses #academic #scholarlypublishing #academicpublishing and related topics.
