A highly productive year in William Faulkner scholarship includes an impressive new biography as well as a high-profile work of criticism for the trade market that examines the resonance of the Civil War in his writings. Several significant projects consider Faulkner in the context of the Black Lives Matter movement and the alt-right movement that have defined the poles of contemporary politics, and others apply new, innovative theoretical methods, demonstrating that almost any approach finds opportunity in a canon which continues to prove itself relevant to current events and modes of criticism.

A prolific year in James studies sees the publication of another meticulously edited volume of letters, a new edition of a major novel, and several considerations of James’s appearances in biofiction, as well as novels and stories inspired by his fiction. Among investigations into James’s aesthetics, a special issue of the Henry James Review attends to sound and silences; and the seventh Henry James International Conference, held in Korea in 2017, has yielded a volume focused on East-West connections in James studies. As in past years, the late novels attract attention, with The Golden Bowl and The Ambassadors the focus of several articles. Race, gender, time, materialism, and spirituality feature among the themes explored by a wide range of scholars, along with analyses of James’s rendering of consciousness and his affinity with modernists.
在研究詹姆斯的多产的一年里,出版了另一本精心编辑的书信集,一部重要小说的新版本,以及对詹姆斯在传记小说中的形象的一些考虑,以及受他的小说启发的小说和故事。在对詹姆斯美学的研究中,《亨利·詹姆斯评论》有一期专刊关注声音与寂静;2017年在韩国举行的第七届亨利·詹姆斯国际会议(Henry James International Conference)出版了一本关于詹姆斯研究中东西方联系的书。和往年一样,后期的小说吸引了人们的注意,《金杯》和《大使》是几篇文章的重点。种族、性别、时间、唯物主义和灵性是众多学者探讨的主题,同时也分析了詹姆斯对意识的呈现以及他与现代主义者的亲密关系。

This year’s publications offer an eclectic range of scholarship on Herman Melville, including new work on sexuality and a new biography. The smaller number of articles and books published this year compared to 2019 has to be mentioned too; the current volume of Leviathan: A Journal of Melville Studies, for example, is some hundred pages shorter than its predecessor. Perhaps COVID-19 stymied the publication process. Certainly research agendas were upended and supply-chain disruptions made the printing of books more difficult and more costly. This survey begins with work that may be of special interest to teachers as well as researchers, then moves to essays and book chapters before concluding with the year’s two book publications on Melville and his world.

Scholars and teachers of Transcendentalism will find much of value in this year’s publications, including standout monographs about Transcendentalism as a specifically religious movement; a remarkable work of 19th-century Americanist scholarship that features individual chapters on Emerson, Thoreau, and Fuller; and many other books and articles that continue to move Transcendentalist scholarship in exciting direc-tions. This year’s work charts innovative approaches to the religion, philosophy, print culture, and politics of Emerson, Thoreau, Fuller, and their contemporaries and contributes widely to the ongoing relevance of Transcendentalist writing and thought for those within, adjacent to, and outside the academy.
