Using the work of John Milton and his conflict between good and evil, this title shows how we read literary history according to quite specific images of growth, development, progression, flourishing and succession.

Exploring the central issues of life, science, language and art in Deleuze's work, this title offers a fresh and alternative assessment of Deleuze's contribution to philosophy. It argues that while Deleuze does draw upon sciences that explain the emergence of language, art and philosophy, his own thought is distinguished by a discontinuist thesis.

Addresses the ways in which we read literary history according to quite specific images of growth, development, progression, flourishing and succession. This book argues that the literary and historical imagery of releasing the radical spirit of a text from the dead weight of received tradition is the dominant doxa of historicism.

Drawing on the theories of digital media and on the materiality of words and images, this study makes three original claims about the work of William Blake. It explores these three claims through the concept of incarnation.

Provides a text for anyone who needs to get to grips with Deleuzian thought, offering an approachable account of the central themes in his work. This text is organised around major themes in Deleuze's oeuvre: sense; univocity; intuition; singularity; and difference. His ideas related to language, politics, ethics and consciousness are explored.

With his emphasis on creation, the future and enhancement of life, along with his crusade against 'common sense,' Deleuze offers some of the most liberating, exhilarating ideas in twentieth-century thought introduced here.
