Scents and Sensibility
This lively, accessible book is the first to explore Victorian literature through scent and perfume, presenting an extensive range of well-known and unfamiliar texts in intriguing and imaginative new ways that make us re-think literature's relation with the senses. Concentrating on aesthetic and decadent authors, Scents and Sensibility introduces a rich selection of poems, essays, and fiction, exploring these texts with reference to both the little-known cultural history of perfume use and the appreciation of natural fragrance in Victorian Britain. It shows how scent and perfume are used to convey not merely moods and atmospheres but the nuances of the aesthete or decadent's carefully cultiv...
Jamaica Kincaid’s Writings of History
Jamaica Kincaid’s works consistently explore how colonial history affects contemporary everyday lives. Throughout her novels, short fiction, and non-fictional essays, Kincaid’s texts engage with history through its medial representations, which are starkly determined by colonial perspectives. This study examines the entanglements of temporalities in current perceptions of the past and how literary text intervenes in historical consciousness. With a focus on the media text, image, and the human body, the chapters of this book demonstrate how Kincaid’s "poetics of impermanence" counter colonial representations of history with strategies of ambiguity, repetition, and redirection. Kincaid’s texts repeat and revise aspects of colonial history – a process that decenters the totality of historical colonial ideology and replaces it with self-determined versions of the past through a multiplication of perspectives and voices.
Empires of the Senses
A deeply researched study, this book offers the first sensory history of the British empire in India and the United States in the Philippines, reflecting on how senses structured the colonizers' perception of the colonized (and vice versa) and impacted the British and American imperial projects.
The Senses and Memory
How are the senses and memory linked? What do sensory approaches to research reveal about the functions of memory?

This book expands research on multimodal work, the senses and materiality, the senses and methodology, sensing memories of the past, and technology’s impact on sensory lives. The chapters included cover all the senses, as well as the cross-modal experience of ...
