Product Description
In this collection of critical essays, four scholars of Romanticism address the problematic concept of "history" within the specific context of Romantic studies. In so doing, the authors interrogate the methods and assumptions of both "new" and "old" historicism, providing alternative ways of reading the literary past. The four essays in this volume emerged in response to a range of circumstances and as episodes within the independent critical actions. These essays were written by men and women from both the British and the American academy, Romanticists of different scholarly generations, differently situated within their universities and within the discipline at large. These institutional and cultural differences are reflected in the variety of questions, methods, tones and proposals generated by this collection of writing. ... Read more

The end...or is it?
This last volume of the books that examine the classical Doctor Who series is a must, as is all the books in the series.Sure, there are spelling mistakes and just plain mistakes, but they are few and far between.I loved the extra information - such as the chapters on Peter Cushing and the Daleks movies.I have those movies, so it is great fun to learn more about the behind the scenes and how the films were made.

The end of "classic who" brilliantly detailed and deconstructed
Gayest Doctor Who moments. The Cartmel Plan. Etc., etc., etc.

If you want a guidebook, or even just a set of essays and opinions, about the sixth and seven doctors episodes, then you need this book. Obsessive doesn't even begin to describe the coverage. Heck, get all of the "About Time" books for the complete Dr. Who fandom experience. ... Read more
