This collection of ten original essays is the first to read Virginia Woolf through the prism of our technological present. Expanding on the work of feminist and cultural critics of the past two decades, this volume offers a sustained reflection on the relationship between Walter Benjamin's analyses of mass culture and technology and Woolf's cultural productions of the 1920s and 1930s. It also brings out the extent to which Woolf was beginning to image the technological society then taking shape. This book takes part in contemporary efforts to rethink modernism as a more globalized and technologized phenomenon

"As Dustin Abnet shows, the robot-whether automaton, Mechanical Turk, cyborg, or iPhone, whether humanized machine or mechanized human being-has long been a fraught embodiment of human fears. Abnet investigates, moreover, how the discourse of the robot has reinforced social and economic inequalities as well as fantasies of social control. "Robots" as a trope are not necessarily mechanical but are rather embodiments of quasi humanity, exhibiting a mix of human and nonhuman characteristics. Such figures are troubling to dominant discourses, which cannot easily assimilate them or identify salient boundaries. The robot lurks beneath the fears that fracture society"--

The Rough Mechanical : The Man Who Could A plane crash shatters the rural calm of an English air force base during World War Two, and a brave young airman rushes through the smoke and fire to pull a body from the wreckage. The air force base is occupied by Allied airman who play cards and cricket by day, but by night they have a deadlier goal – in their “devil’s machines” they bring death and destruction to the cities of Germany. The quiet and unassuming rescuer is called Adam, a young navigator, something of a technical wizard who can turn his hand to anything. That is, until he meets May, an attractive young radio operator, and for the first time in his life, he finds himself floundering over what to do. A bombing mission goes badly wrong, and Adam’s plane is shot down over Poland. The crew is interned in a prisoner of war camp. Life is tough there, and it only gets worse when they find themselves on the receiving end of Allied bombing. His friends are mainly interested in football, but Adam does not let the barbed wire fence in his mind. The camp is the education he never had, and some of it is dangerous stuff. The war drags to a noisy close; Adam and friends are liberated. On their return home they find themselves in the battered city of Berlin, where they see the destruction that they helped wrought. Adam helps hunt Nazi sympathisers, runs into threatening Soviets, and has a strange encounter in a seedy nightclub with another victim of war. Or maybe she is not such a victim after all. Adam and his friends return to London, trying to get their lives together again, looking to rebuild after all the destruction. It should be a time of hope and optimism. But post-war London is grey and cold, food is rationed, and there are more crises to come. As American money for Britain runs out, a financial crisis is brewing. In Whitehall there is talk of a depression, riots and hunger. May and Adam start going out together, and romance is in the air. But it is not easy – war has left them apart. Adam is keen, but even when they are out dating, May suspects that Adam’s fertile mind is not always thinking about her. He has enrolled at university and it is proving a hot bed of radical new ideas. He starts to form an intriguing new plan. Despite all the distractions, romance grows. Overcoming the obstacles of rationing, unhelpful friends, mad landladies and May’s rabble-rousing Communist father, Adam and May get married. But May wants more than that, and Adam finds his domestic life starting to get more complicated than he had expected. The clouds of war are threatening again. The Russians are blockading Germany, and Adam is drafted in to help with the Berlin airlift. The planes that once brought misery from the skies are now bringing coal, food and hope to that beleaguered city. Against a backdrop of spies and bootleggers, Adam stumbles back into contact with Eva, an old flame, who turns leaves him politically and sexually very confused. Back in Britain, things are looking up: a family is on the way. As May is pregnant with their daughter, Adam has another baby to look after: a revolutionary new machine that he has designed, a Heath Robinson structure of pipes, valves and flowing water, a computer which promises to make the world a better place. But ironically, Britain is now pursuing the most devilish machine of all, the Atom Bomb. Short of money, and with a young family to support, Adam is pressured to take a job helping develop the bomb. He has to make a hard choice, and finds himself caught up in a real life Cold War spy drama. The Rough Mechanical has a fascinating plot where real world dramas of the 1940s and 50s are interwoven with a story of struggle and inspiration. It is meticulously researched – most of the background events did take place, and actual persons populate the cast of characters. Adam is

Wise and illuminating, Rouse Up O Young Men of the New Age! is a masterpiece from one of the world's finest writers, Kenzaburo Oe -- winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature. K is a famous writer living in Tokyo with his wife and three children, one of whom is mentally disabled. K's wife confronts him with the information that this child, Eeyore, has been doing disturbing things -- behaving aggressively, asserting that he's dead, even brandishing a knife at his mother -- and K, given to retreating from reality into abstraction, looks for answers in his lifelong love of William Blake's poetry. As K struggles to understand his family and assess his responsibilities within it, he must also reevaluate himself -- his relationship with his own father, the political stances he has taken, the duty of artists and writers in society. A remarkable portrait of the inexpressible bond between this father and his damaged son, Rouse Up O Young Men of the New Age! is the work of an unparalleled writer at his sparkling best.

First published in 1979, this is a very welcome reissue of Kathleen Raine's seminal study of William Blake - England’s only prophet. He challenged with extraordinary vigour the premises which now underline much of Western civilization, hitting hard at the ideas of a naive materialist philosophy which, even in his own day, was already eating at the roots of English national life. In his insistence that ‘mental things are alone real’, Blake was ahead of his time. Materialist views are now challenged from various quarters; the depth psychologies of Freud and Jung, the study of Far Easter religion and philosophy, the reappraisal of myth and folk lore, the wealth of psychical research have all prepared the way for an understanding of Blake’s thought. We are ready to acknowledge that in attacking ‘the sickness of Albion’ Blake penetrated to the inner worlds of man and explored them in a way that is quite unique. Dr Raine, who has made a long study of Blake’s sources, presents him as a lonely powerful genius who stands within the spiritual tradition of Sophia Perennis, ‘the Everlasting Gospel’. From the standpoint of this great human Norm, our immediate past described by W.B. Yeats as ‘the three provincial centuries’, is a tragic deviation; catastrophic, as Blake believed, in its spiritual and material consequences. Only now do we possess the necessary knowledge to understand William Blake and the ever-growing number of people who turn to him surely justifies his faith in the eternal truths he strove to communicate.

Winner, 2012 Sally Hacker Prize, Society for the History of Technology Hotel Dreams is a deeply researched and entertaining account of how the hotel's material world of machines and marble integrated into and shaped the society it served. Molly W. Berger offers a compelling history of the American hotel and how it captured the public's imagination as it came to represent the complex—and often contentious—relationship among luxury, economic development, and the ideals of a democratic society. Berger profiles the country's most prestigious hotels, including Boston's 1829 Tremont, San Francisco's world-famous Palace, and Chicago's enormous Stevens. The fascinating stories behind their design, construction, and marketing reveal in rich detail how these buildings became cultural symbols that shaped the urban landscape.
