DRAGOȘ IVANA (Coordinator)
This volume commemorates Mihaela Irimia, a leading figure in British literature and cultural studies in Romania and a reputed professor at the University of Bucharest. It puts together the most recent work of her frequent collaborators, colleagues, students, and friends in a manner that reflects the fruitful territories, areas of inquiry, research questions and methodologies that her own work inspired: the conversation between ancient and modern literary forms, the complexities of the early English novel, the paradoxes of Romantic poetics, travel narratives, city studies, the history of ideas and its intersection(s) with cultural, social, and material history, the fundamental paradigms of modernity and postmodernity, and comparative studies.
