It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife. So runs one of the most famous opening lines in English literature. Setting the scene in Pride and Prejudice, it deftly introduces the novel's core themes of marriage, money, and social convention, themes that continue to resonate with readers over 200 years later. Jane Austen wrote six of the best-loved novels in the English language, as well as a smaller corpus of unpublished works. Her books pioneered new techniques for representing voices, minds, and hearts in narrative prose, and, despite some accusations of a blinkered domestic and romantic focus, they represent the world of their characters with unsparing clarity. Here, Tom Keymer explores the major themes throughout Austen's novels, setting them in the literary, social, and political backgrounds from which they emerge, and showing how they engage with social tensions in an era dominated by the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars. The Jane Austen who emerges is a writer shaped by the literary experiments and socio-political debates of her time, increasingly drawn to a fundamentally conservative vision of social harmony, yet forever complicating this vision through her disruptive ironies and satirical energy.

Peter Drucker may be best known, especially in the United States, as a writer on business and management, but, in fact, these subjects are neither his first nor have they been his foremost intellectual concern. Most of his books on management deal less with strategy and results than with the nature of the corporation as an expression of human effort and a social institution. From the time of his intellectual apprenticeship in Europe to the present day, Drucker's primary concern has been community, in which the individual has status, and society in which the individual has function. He has brought together selections from his vast writings on these subjects in A Functioning Society. The materials in this volume are drawn both from his published books and from previously uncollected writings. Together, they present the full range of Drucker's thought on community, society, and the political structure, and constitute an ideal introduction to his ideas. The volume is divided into seven parts. The selections in parts 1 and 2 were mostly written during World War II and in the wake of the Great Depression. They seek to define the functioning society in the modern industrial world from a historical perspective, and to identify institutions that could recreate community, the collapse of which produced totalitarianism in Europe. Part 3 deals with the limits of governmental competence in the social and economic realm. It contains some of Drucker's most influential writings, concerned as he is here with the difference between big government and effective government. The chapters in part 4 explore the rise of organizations, or autonomous centers of power outside of government and within society. These include business corporations, but also universities, unions, hospitals, and community organizations. Part 5 contains chapters from Drucker's pathbreaking work on the corporation as a social organization rather than merely an economic one. This was a controversial concept in 1946; today it is taken for granted. The rise of the so-called “knowledge industries” forms the background for part 6, in which Drucker explores the meaning of the shift from a society, economy, and polity based on manual work and skill to one based on knowledge and knowledge workers. The concluding part 7 is devoted entirely to Drucker's long essay “The Next Society.” Here Drucker examines the emergence of new institutions and new theories arising from the information revolution and the social changes they are helping to bring about. In organizing these representative writings, Drucker has chosen to be topical rather than merely chronological, with each excerpt presenting a basic theme of his work. He selected his contributions as well for their literary quality and accessibility to the general reader. As is characteristic of his work, A Functioning Society will attract both the general reader as well as a cross-disciplinary scholarly readership.

The essays in this volume focus on the text-world dichotomy that has been a pivotal problem since Plato, implicating notions of mimesis and representation and raising a series of debatable issues. Do literary texts relate only to the fictional world and not to the real one? Do they not only describe but also perform and thus create and transform reality? Is literature a mere reflection/expression of society, a field and a tool of political manipulations, a playground to exercise ideological and social power? Herbert Grabes’ seminal essay “Literature in Society/Society and Its Literature”, which opens this volume, perfectly captures the essential functions of literature in society, whether it be Derridean belief in a revolutionary potential of literature, “the power of literature to say everything”, or Hillis Miller’s view of literature having the potential to create or reveal alternative realities; or, according to Grabes, the ability of literature “to offer to society a possibility of self-reflection by way of presenting a double of what is held to be reality”; and, last but not least, the ability of literature “to considerably contribute to the joy of life by enabling a particular kind of pleasure” – the pleasure of reading literature. The subsequent essays collected in this volume deal with complex relations between Literature and Society, approaching this issue from different angles and in various historical epochs. They are on diverse thematics and written from diverse theoretical perspectives, differing in scope and methodology.
