POPULAR FICTIONS PB/ HUMM

by Peter Humm (editor), Paul Stigant (editor), Peter Widdowson (editor)

The Juxtaposition of title and subtitle immediately triggers a number of questions. What are popular fictions? How are the two academic disciplines of literature and history implicated in this concept? Does our inherited notion of 'literature' embrace popular fictions? These questions are explored in the essays that follow.

Besides the editors, further contributors are:
Tony Bennett, Roger Bromley, Peter Brooker, Michael Denning, Patricia Duncker, Norman Feltes, Kate Flint, Graham Holderness, Stuart Laing, Kathy MacDermott, Brian Maidment, and Paul O'Flinn.
