Re-Reading the Age of Innovation: Victorians, Moderns, and Literary Newness, 1830-1950 (Among the Victorians and Modernists)
by Louise KaneThe period of 1830–1950 was an age of unprecedented innovation. From new inventions and scientific discoveries to reconsiderations of religion, gender, and the human mind, the innovations of this era are recorded in a wide range of literary texts. Rather than separating these texts into Victorian or modernist camps, this collection argues for a new framework that reveals how the concept of innovation generated forms of literary newness that drew novelists, poets, and other creative figures working across this period into dialogic networks of experiment. The 14 chapters in this volume explore how inventions like the rotary print press or hot air balloon and emergent debates about science, trade, and colonialism evolved new forms and genres. Through their examinations of a wide range of texts and writers—from well-known novelists like Conrad, Dickens, Hardy, and Woolf, to less canonical figures like Charlotte Mew, Elías Mar, and Walter Frances White—the chapters in this collection re-read these texts as part of an age of innovation characterized not by division and divide, but by collaboration and community.

Reach for the Sky
by Beverly SommersThere's nothing like the wide open spaces of the Midwest. Suzanne Allman's cross-country trip was fraught with accidents. First, daughter Mouse totaled a parked car just as they were crossing the Pennsylvania-Ohio border, which meant they were obliged to tote the cowboy on crutches, whose car, clothes and credit cards they'd destroyed, all the way to his Wyoming ranch. The second incident also involved Billy Blue, who chatted, joked and sang cowboy songs as they cruised through Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. With a man as unique as Billy at her side, it wasn't really an accident that Suzanne collided head-on with love. It seemed like one- but maybe accidents were just another name for destiny.
