Over the past three decades, Cultural Studies within German „Anglistik“ have become a success story: relevant research has been undertaken, syllabi (in universities and schools) have been redesigned, departments have been restructured and most students are enthusiastic. What is to be desired, are more publications which concretely describe, succinctly analyse and amply illustrate ideas, approaches and scenarios of how to do Cultural Studies, be it in the university classroom or, elsewhere, studying independently. The present volume tries to provide a start. In eleven contributions it is being demonstrated how students and teachers in universities and schools as well as self-learners can make complex cultural nexuses their own. The great variety of topics and didactic approaches is intended: all readers should be able to choose from a wide range of ideas and approaches, so that they do not only study what they are offered in this volume but also feel encouraged to develop projects of their own.

Robert Louis Stevenson and Joseph Conrad are two very different writers. Stevenson found an ever-increasing audience with his poetry and early travelogues, as well as Treasure Island, The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde and his Scottish romances. Conrad first led a life at sea and began his writing career with tales and novels set in the Far East, Africa, South America and later, in Europe. But these two writers also had a lot in common. Their experiences with the British empire, exile and the exotic differed, but their assessments of these experiences demonstrate an astonishing amount of convergence. This collection of essays is the result of a long-term research interest which aimed at bringing these two authors more closely together in literary and cultural criticism. In these texts, most of which were separately published over the past two decades, Stevenson and Conrad's substantial criticisms of colonial relations are contrasted with their loves for the sea, its attractions and challenges. The volume also includes essays on the sea as a cultural space and is rounded off by a reading of Bram Stoker's Dracula, which synthesises topics dealt with earlier concerning the Victorian fin de siècle."-- Publisher's website
