This book examines the suicide crisis in the French workplace and asks why work or conditions of work increasingly push some employees to take their own lives. To address this question, the book analyses a corpus of testimonial material linked to 66 suicide cases across three large French companies during the period from 2005 to 2015. The book investigates what these suicide voices tell us about the present economic order and its impact on human labour within the contemporary juncture of finance-driven neoliberalism.

The T. S. Eliot Studies Annual is the leading venue for the critical reassessment of Eliot's life and work in light of the ongoing publication of his letters, critical volumes of his complete prose, the new edition of his complete poems, and the forthcoming critical edition of his plays. All critical approaches are welcome, as are essays pertaining to any aspect of Eliot's work as a poet, critic, playwright, or editor. This Waste Land centenary volume of the Annual appears at a crossroads in Eliot studies. In recent years, editions of his prose, annotated poems, and letters have vastly expanded what we know about Eliot, his life, oeuvre, composition practices, and circle of acquaintances. Further, in January 2020, over one thousand letters by the poet to his muse Emily Hale were opened at Princeton University Library, where they had been sealed when Hale donated them in 1956. Articles re-examine the Waste Land in light of these new insights, as well as looking at drama and performance, and Eliot and Europe. John D.

Isidore of Seville's On the Nature of Things, the first attempt by a Christian author to present an account of the physical universe - the heavens, planets and stars, earth and its physical features, weather and time - played an exceptionally influential role in the assimilation of classical science into the emerging Christian culture of medieval Europe.

This lucid study of Geoffrey Chaucer addresses both recent theoretical approaches to his work, as well as various popular tropes - 'Father of English Poetry', poet of 'Merrie England' - that have enshrined his status within a nationalist ideology. Feminist criticism and the work of Bakhtin receive particular attention as two of the most prominent concerns in recent Chaucer studies, and new readings that reconsider the political and social context of his writings are also discussed. In his stimulating re-evaluation of a wide range of Chaucer's work Steve Ellis gives full attention to the pre-Tales poetry, alongside the Canterbury Tales themselves.
