Text World Theory and Keats' Poetry applies advances in cognitive poetics and text world theory to four poems by the nineteenth century poet John Keats. It takes the existing text world theory as a starting point and draws on stylistics, literary theory, cognitive linguistics, cognitive psychology and dream theories to explore reading poems in the light of their emphasis on states of desire, dreaming and nightmares. It accounts for the representation of these states and the ways in which they are likely to be processed, monitored and understood. Text World Theory and Keats' Poetry advances both the current field of cognitive stylistics but also analyses Keats in a way that offers new insights into his poetry. It is of interest to stylisticians and those in literary studies.

Sensate Haven is profoundly influenced by augmented reality and artificial intelligence, and it symbolizes and acts as an excellent example of technological progress. Nevertheless, there's a shadow—an unintended result of unbridled expansion—somewhere amid the glistening skyline. A digital turbulent strikes the city, revealing the murky side of networked progress. The Bodhisattvas, discovers a malevolent force that seeks revenge with a technological weapon of unimaginable power and threatens to annihilate their worlds. An unfathomable power threatens to destroy their worlds with a diabolical force that demands retribution. The menacing sound of hopelessness reverberates through Sensate Haven's broken urban landscapes, pressing the Bodhisattvas to discover the evil force's mysteries and avert the ultimate convergence—a pit of unending fear. The haunting chorus of despair echoes through misty woods and shattered cityscapes, challenging the Bodhisattvas to unravel the malevolent force's secrets and prevent the ultimate abyss of perpetual dread. The previously praised innovations are now upending the delicate balance between creation and chaos, from holographic illusions to virtual horrors. This is a compelling story about using code to play god. Will the shadows cast by its own advancements kill Sensate Haven, or can the hesitant hero face the nightmare and find a way to restore balance to a planet on the verge of technological chaos? Travel into the digital shadows, a future where creativity as well as ethics collide and where unintended consequences of technology disruption wreak havoc.

Decadence and Modernism in European and Russian Literature and Culture: Aesthetics and Anxiety in the 1890s rewrites the story of early modernist literature and culture by drawing out the tensions underlying its simultaneous engagement with Decadence and Symbolism, the unsustainable combination of this world and the other. With a broadly framed literary and cultural approach, Jonathan Stone examines a shift in perspective that explodes the notion of reality and showcases the uneasy relationship between the tangible and intangible aspects of the surrounding world. Modernism quenches a growing fascination with the ephemeral and that which cannot be seen while also doubling down on the significance of the material world and finding profound meaning in the physical and the corporeal. Decadence and Symbolism complement the broader historical trajectory of the fin de siècle by affirming the novelty of a modernist mindset and offering an alternative to the empirical and positivistic atmosphere of the nineteenth century. Stone seeks to recreate a significant historical and cultural moment in the development of modernity, a moment that embraces the concept of Decadence while repurposing its aesthetic and social import to help navigate the fundamental changes that accompanied the dawn of the twentieth century.

The articles in this volume discuss specific ways in which the Gothic transgresses boundaries, be they historical, spatial, national, aesthetic, generic, modal, medial, or sexual. Offering a wide range in every respect - from 'Proto' to 'Post-Gothic, ' from mythical to digital, from national to 'Globalgothic, ' from metropolitan to 'EcoGothic, ' from traditional to 'Candygothic, ' from novel to film and from Shakespeare to Steampunk - this collection aims to enrich as well as extend the scholarly debate on the Gothic as a multi-faceted mode of expression that goes beyond limits and, much like a vampire, constantly refreshes itself by feeding on the lifeblood of topical issues.
