Intelligent Souls?: Feminist Orientalism in Eighteenth-Century English Literature

By Samara Anne Cahill

Intelligent Souls? offers a new understanding of Islam in eighteenth-century British culture. Samara Anne Cahill's ambitious study explores two separate but overlapping strands of thinking about women and Islam in the eighteenth century which produce the phenomenon of "feminist orientalism." One strand describes seventeenth-century ideas about the nature of the soul used to denigrate religio-political opponents, and the other tracks the transference of these ideas to Islam during the Glorious Revolution and the Trinitarian controversy of the 1690s.

Families of the Heart: Surrogate Relations in the Eighteenth-Century British Novel

By Ann Campbell

Families of the Heart introduces surrogate families as a new literary device for analyzing a set of novels by Defoe, Richardson, Haywood, and Burney.

Jane Austen and Comedy

In bringing together Austen and comedy, which are both often dismissed as superfluous or irrelevant to a contemporary world, this collection of essays directs attention to the ways we laugh, the ways that Austen may make us do so, and the ways that our laughter is conditioned by the form in which Austen writes: comedy. Ultimately, Jane Austen and Comedy invites its reader to take seriously Austen's production of laughter and to keep laughing nonetheless.
