1 y separately published work icon Tracking the Literature of Tropical Weather : Typhoons, Cyclones, Hurricanes Russell McDougall (editor), Anne Collett (editor), Susan Thomas (editor), Basingstoke : Palgrave , 2017 16915985 2017 anthology criticism

'This book tracks across history and cultures the ways in which writers have imagined cyclones, hurricanes, and typhoons, collectively understood as “tropical weather.” Historically, literature has drawn upon the natural world for its store of symbolic language and technical device, making use of violent storms in the form of plot, drama, trope, and image in order to highlight their relationship to the political, social, and psychological realms of human affairs. Charting this relationship through writers such as Joseph Conrad, Herman Melville, Gisèle Pineau, and other writers from places like Australia, Japan, Mauritius, the Caribbean, and the Philippines, this ground-breaking collection of essays illuminates the specificities of the ways local, national, and regional communities have made sense and even relied upon the literary to endure the devastation caused by deadly tropical weather.'

1 1 y separately published work icon The Post-Colonial Detective Ed Christian (editor), Basingstoke : Palgrave , 2001 Z940684 2001 multi chapter work criticism Collection of twelve essays dealing with detective fiction within the theoretical framework of post-colonialism. An introduction to the peculiarities of the post-colonial detective and to post-colonial theory establishes a context in which to view more than a dozen notable detectives and authors from around the world, examining what happens to detective fiction when the detective is 'post-colonial', a marginalized native or settler in a country recovering from colonialism. Post-colonial detection is revealed as an exciting hybrid of western-influenced police methods and plot conventions and indigenous cultural insights and wisdom in exotic settings.
