Feminist Intersectionality: Centering the Margins in 21st-century Medieval Studies English | 2023 | ISBN: 303122115X | 121 Pages | PDF (True) | 4 MB This book gathers contributions negotiating feminism's place within medieval studies. It is about overlaps and twists, about the inseparability of multiple means of critique - ecocriticism and disability studies, art history and race studies, legal history and modern activism - from a feminist perspective. The feminist scholarship in this book moves in many different directions and examines the medieval past (and its role in the present) from many different angles. What remains consistent throughout is the dedication to reconfiguring medieval studies, a commitment not to be content simply with adding women on as an extra in conventional European patriarchal accounts, or with analyzing gender in history or literature without fundamentally re-envisioning the intellectual foundations upon which those fields of study have been built.

Discovering the Footsteps of Time: Geological Travel Writing about Scotland, 1700-1820 By Tom Furniss 2018 | 305 Pages | ISBN: 1474410014 | PDF | 9 MB Traces the history of geological travel writing about Scotland across the historical periods of the Scottish Enlightenment and British Romanticism Discovering the Footsteps of Time probes the development of a distinctively Scottish tradition of geological travel writing from the seventeenth to early nineteenth century. The tradition tracks a fertile interaction of scientific and aesthetic themes, mediated through literary techniques, which highlights the emergence of 'Romanticism' as such; a distinctive, recognisable cultural movement of taste and style. Making an important new contribution to our understanding of the 'discovery' and representation of Scotland in the long eighteenth century, the book explores why Scotland's topography has been decisive in the history of geology to such a great extent. Written by a literary academic rather than a geologist, the book is as much concerned with textual strategies and the aesthetic experience of geological discovery as with geology itself. Key Features Adds to our understanding of the 'discovery of Scotland' in the 18th and early19th century, developing a new account of the literary, aesthetic and geological meanings of 'the land of mountain and flood' in the period Offers new insights about James Hutton's geological theory by attending to his geological travel writing about Scotland, and also locates Hutton's work within wider geological debates in and about Scotland Builds on previous work on the literariness of scientific writing in the 'second scientific revolution' Contributes to research on 'Romantic Scotland' and on the transition from Enlightenment to Romantic scientific travel writing |
