Welcome to the 2013 Literature Catalog!
We're very excited to begin the year with two brand new textbooks: Global Literary Theory: An Anthology, and Modernism and Literature: An Introduction and Reader which are complemented by fantastic companion websites.
Alongside these refreshing new books we also continue to publish a wide range of material from our flourishing Routledge Companions series of Handbooks, Readers for course use, our key guidebook series (New Critical Idioms and Routledge Critical Thinkers) and our lively Routledge Research series.
Our Routledge Research series, ranging in focus from Medieval Literature to Shakespeare, from Children's Literature to Contemporary texts, also offers diverse approaches in its Routledge Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Literature series. Exciting volumes to publish this year include International Perspectives in Feminist Ecocriticism and The Transculturation of Mobile Narratives: Travel, Migration, and Identity.
We are reviving some key books such as The Romance of Arthur and Orality and Literacy with updated editions and are also publishing brand new, innovative and cutting-edge books such as The Demonic and The Future of Trauma Theory.
