The 21C Research Group was delighted, last month, to celebrate the launch of two books within English at the University of Lincoln. Dr. Siân Adiseshiah and Dr. Rupert Hildyard edited the first collection of work exclusively dedicated to twenty-first-century fiction. Entitled Twenty-First Century Fiction: What Happens Now the book is published by Palgrave MacMillan and looks set to become a canonical reference work. A second cause for celebration within English as a whole was the publication of Dr. Christopher Marlowe’s work, Performing Masculinity in English University Drama, 1598-1636 with Ashgate Press.
