by W. B. Yeats from May 1899 to April 1900.

It was an occasional publication and focused on promoting current works of Irish playwrights whilst challenging those of their English opponents. The magazine mainly consists of a series of essays on the theatre in Dublin, and supplementing these are explanations and discussions of new plays, excerpts from which are often included. This book will be of interest to those with an interest in Yeats, early nineteenth-century literature, and Irish theatre.Evidence Wealth: Investing Made Simple, Logical, and Worry-free

By Michael Warner, Myra Jehlen. 1997
The English Literatures of America redefines colonial American literatures, sweeping from Newfoundland and Nova Scotia to the West Indies and…
Guiana. The book begins with the first colonization of the Americas and stretches beyond the Revolution to the early national period. Many texts are collected here for the first time; others are recognized masterpieces of the canon--both British and American--that can now be read in their Atlantic context. By emphasizing the culture of empire and by representing a transatlantic dialogue, The English Literatures of America allows a new way to understand colonial literature both in the United States and abroad.Robert Browning, the great Victorian poet, is often claimed to be hard to understand, largely on account of the obscurity…
of his language, the complexity of his thought, and his poetic style. The Browning Cyclopaedia, first published in 1891, presents an exposition of the prominent ideas of each poem, as well as its tone, its sources – historical, legendary or fanciful – and a glossary of every difficult word or allusion which might obscure the poem’s meaning. This volume remains indispensable for students of Robert Browning, as well as those interested in the general aesthetic climate of Victorian poetry.Consumer credit borrowing – using credit cards, store cards and personal loans – is an important and routine part of…
many of our lives. But what happens when these everyday forms of borrowing go ‘bad’, when people start to default on their loans and when they cannot, or will not, repay? It is this poorly understood, controversial, but central part of both the consumer credit industry and the lived experiences of an increasing number of people that this book explores. Drawing on research from the interior of the debt collections industry, as well as debtors' own accounts and historical research into technologies of lending and collection, it examines precisely how this ever more sophisticated, globally connected market functions. It focuses on the highly intimate techniques used to try and recoup defaulting debts from borrowers, as well as on the collection industry’s relationship with lenders. Joe Deville follows a journey of default, from debtors’ borrowing practices, to the intrusion of collections technologies into their homes and everyday lives, to the collections organisation, to attempts by debtors to seek outside help. In the process he shows how to understand this particular market, we need to understand the central role played within it by emotion and affect. By opening up for scrutiny an area of the economy which is often hidden from view, this book makes a major contribution both to understanding the relationship between emotion and calculation in markets and the role of consumer credit in our societies and economies. This book will be of interest to students, teachers and researchers in a range of fields, including sociology, anthropology, cultural studies, economics and social psychology.Modelling Pension Fund Investment Behaviour (Routledge Revivals)
By David Blake. 1992
First published in 1992, this title conducts an in-depth examination of the investment behaviour of pension funds, presenting the first…
econometric model in this area. Using the well-established framework of modern portfolio theory, David Blake derives a model of optimal portfolio behaviour that explains pension fund asset holdings in terms of the most important macroeconomic and cyclical indicators. He shows how factors such as industry profitability, the balance of payments and the monetary and fiscal policies of the government influence pension fund investments. Broad in scope, this reissue will be of particular value to students and academics with an interest in econometrics, investment analysis and the pension fund industry.James Joyce: The Critical Heritage (The critical Heritage Ser.)
By Robert H. Deming. 2013

be available as a complete set, mini boxed sets (by theme) or as individual volumes. This second set compliments the first 68 volume set of Critical Heritage published by Routledge in October 1995. The Critical Heritage series gathers together a large body of critical figures in literature. These carefully selected sources include: * comtemporary reviews from both popular and literary media. In these students can read about how Lady Chatterly's Lover shocked contemporary reviewers or what Ibsen's Doll's House meant to the early women's movement. * little-known documentary material, such as diaries and correspondence - often between authors and their publishers and critics. * landmark essays in the history of criticism. * significant pieces of criticism from later periods to demonstrate how an author's reputation changed over time.Kiss and Kill: Tales of Erotic Horror (The Hot Blood Series #8)

The eighth anthology in Jeff Gelb and Michael Garrett&’s boundary-breaking Hot Blood erotic horror series delivers sixteen thrilling tales that will leave readers tied up ever tighter, even as the stories themselves defy all restraint.

Nebula Award–winner Edward Bryant, reviewing for Locus, said &“the variety will appeal to your every kink.&” Praise for the Hot Blood series &“Read Hot Blood late at night when the wind is blowing hard and the moon is full.&” —Playboy &“Outstanding . . . A daring combination of sex and terror.&” —Cemetery Dance &“[An] aggressive and daring approach to erotic horror . . . Riveting.&” —Gauntlet &“Seek out this one (or its predecessors) for some naughty fun.&” —BookloversKafka: His Mind and Art (Routledge Revivals)
By Charles Neider. 1949
First published in 1949, Kafka: His Mind and Art begins with an extended analysis of the Kafka literature, with emphasis…
on its shortcomings and their effect on Kafka’s vogue. Chapter two presents in broad terms a new aspect of Kafka which after the biographical chapter, chapter three, is studied in detail for the next two chapters. Up to this point the treatment does not presuppose a special key, but in chapters six and seven the secret key is discussed. To avoid confusion and unnecessary complications, the discussion of the key and its implications is delayed until more traditional ground has been covered. The author argues that it is appropriate to indicate only that the expressionist movement was not solely religious, that it arose from a dissatisfaction with a stagnant, spiritless society as well as with current modes in art and literature, and that Kafka avoided identifying himself- at least in his work- with any of the three or four factions of the movement. This is an important historical document for students of literature.The Routledge Handbook of CoFuturisms (Routledge Literature Handbooks)
By Bodhisattva Chattopadhyay, Grace L. Dillon, Isiah Lavender III, Taryne Jade Taylor. 2024
The Routledge Handbook of CoFuturisms delivers a new, inclusive examination of science fiction, from close analyses of single texts to…
large-scale movements, providing readers with decolonized models of the future, including print, media, race, gender, and social justice. This comprehensive overview of the field explores representations of possible futures arising from non-Western cultures and ethnic histories that disrupt the “imperial gaze”. In four parts, The Routledge Handbook of CoFuturisms considers the look of futures from the margins, foregrounding the issues of Indigenous groups, racial, ethnic, religious, and sexual minorities, and any people whose stakes in the global order of envisioning futures are generally constrained due to the mechanics of our contemporary world. The book extends current discussions in the area, looking at cutting-edge developments in the discipline of science fiction and diverse futurisms as a whole. Offering a dynamic mix of approaches and expansive perspectives, this volume will appeal to academics and researchers seeking to orient their own interventions into broader contexts.Black Punk Now

Terry, contributors to the collection include critic Hanif Abdurraqib and Mars Dixon, conversations with Brontez Purnell, and a roundtable of all femme festival organizers.The Wolf of Investing: My Playbook for Making a Fortune on Wall Street

gratification and debt only to think, ‘ Where did all my money go this month?' In Spending, Fast and Slow, award-winning money coach Max Phelps helps readers understand the deep-rooted psychological factors that drive their spending habits and teaches them how to slow down spending to create a life of financial stability and true abundance.Married for 31 years, Max is self-confessed ‘ tight-arse' and his wife is a natural shopaholic. With polar-opposite money habits, money was a constant source of arguments for the first 11 years of their marriage. Many of his clients struggle with their partner' s money mindset in much the same way. Drawing inspiration from the groundbreaking works of behavioral economists and psychologists, such as Daniel Kahneman's Thinking, Fast and Slow, Max delves into the intricacies of human decision-making to uncover the cognitive biases and heuristics that often lead us astray when it comes to spending. Spending, Fast and Slow is an invitation to a life where money becomes a tool for achieving your dreams rather than a source of stress.
