Pershing�s Martez Walker (5) will play in Saturday�s Freedom Classic at Warren Fitzgerald. (Ricardo Thomas/Detroit News)
Warren— Martin Luther King Day is a time for remembrance and for the third year it's a time for the aptly named Freedom Classic at Warren Fitzgerald.
Once again the Horatio Williams Foundation will sponsor a one-day festival of basketball featuring some of the state's top teams and players. The third annual Freedom Classic will be held Saturday at Fitzgerald. Six games will be held beginning at noon, with the host team playing Troy and ending with the marquee matchup, Detroit Pershing (9-0), ranked No. 1 in Class A, against defending Class C champion and top-ranked Flint Beecher (9-0), scheduled to start at 8:30.
The cost is $10. Proceeds go to the Horatio Williams Foundation and the programs it supports. Last year Williams said the festival drew 1,300 fans. This year he hopes that number reaches 2,000.
"It's getting bigger and bigger," Williams said. "We take care of the security. We pay for the (Warren) police. The concessions are donated back to the school (Fitzgerald). It's their biggest concession day of the year.
"Although the foundation's headquarters are in Detroit, it's just not based in Detroit. We do a couple of events outside of Detroit including our golf outing (in West Bloomfield).
"The reason we started this is to give kids from the inner city a chance to play teams from the suburbs, and coincides with Martin Luther King Day. Everybody does Christmas tournaments. I didn't want to step on anybody's toes. And I try to line up teams that might not meet until the state tournament, if at all."
Completing the schedule is Detroit Southeastern against Detroit Community at 1:45, followed by Detroit Cass Tech against Walled Lake Western at 3:30, then Detroit Douglass against Warren DeLaSalle at 5 and Detroit Renaissance against Ann Arbor Huron at 6:40.
Among the top players are Beecher's Monte Morris, a surefire Mr. Basketball candidate; Pershing's Kahlil Felder and Martez Walker; Bo Zeigler of Community; Miroslav Jaksic of Western and A.J. Turner of DeLaSalle. Turner is a junior, the others are seniors.
Not to be forgotten
Also on Saturday the fourth annual Dorian Dawkins Show Your Heart Memorial Classic will be held at Saginaw High. This event is held in memory of Dawkins, a promising basketball player from Saginaw who died June 13, 2009. The son of former Saginaw High player and coach Lou Dawkins , Dawkins collapsed after shooting a free throw during a summer camp in East Lansing. The cause of death was acute myocardial ischemia.
Five games are on tap. Most noteworthy are the 5:15 matchup between Ypsilanti and Detroit East English Village Prep, followed by defending Class A champ Saginaw and Harper Woods Chandler Park Academy, featuring Mr. Basketball candidate Derrick Walton Jr .
Admission is $10 for adults and $7 for students with a school ID. Proceeds from the event will go to the American Heart Association and to college scholarships for underprivileged youth.
Stars aligned
Grand Blanc hasn't won a district title since 2007. It lost to Clarkston in a regional semifinal that season. Last year it lost to Clarkston in the first round of the districts. Clarkston isn't in Grand Blanc's district this season and Grand Blanc's chances at a district title look promising for that reason, plus Grand Blanc could have its best team in quite some time.
Coach Chris Belcher lost just four players from a team that finished 14-7. The top returner is 6-foot-5 senior Bart Williams , selected team MVP last season. K.J. Miller (5-11) is another returning starter but the most improved player is 6-7 senior David Battle . Battle is averaging nine points and eight rebounds and has had his best games against Flint Carman-Ainsworth, the most competitive team Grand Blanc (7-0) has played this season. Battle had 22 points and 13 rebounds in the first meeting (71-66) and 15 points and 10 rebounds in a 56-49 victory on Jan. 2.
Experience counts
New Haven was 21-4 last season and lost in the Class C quarterfinals. Coach Tedaro France returned his top six players and that experience came into play on Friday as New Haven upset No. 3-ranked Mount Clemens (5-1) 101-98 in double overtime.
New Haven (6-0), unranked, trailed by 13 points at halftime and by 10 with 3:16 left in regulation. Tedaro France III (23 points) made a 3-pointer to send the game into overtime tied at 74. New Haven trailed by five in the first overtime before it went to the second tied at 85. New Haven trailed by six in the second overtime. Sychar Sterling 's 3-point play and France's 3-pointer tied the game. Rayshawn Griffin (34 points) made four free throws in the last minute to give New Haven the impressive road victory.
"The whole game we had to fight, fight and fight," coach France said. "That's a real good team we beat. We might not be the most talented team but our kids are from the neighborhood and they're good kids."
Blast from the past
Former Michigan State star Mike Peplowski returned to his alma mater on Friday and gave a pregame talk to Warren DeLaSalle. DeLaSalle (7-1) played perhaps its best defensive game of the season, beating Detroit Catholic Central, 57-29.
Top five games last week
East Kentwood 60, Zeeland East 53 : East Kentwood (7-0) led 23-10 with six minutes left in the first half then held on. East cut the lead to 39-38 early in the fourth but never took the lead. East Kentwood was 6-of-12 from the 3-point range and was led by Jaylen Carter's 18 points. Josh Groenhof led East with 21 points.
Grandville Calvin Christian 59, Wyoming Tri-unity Christian 51 : Calvin Christian (8-0), ranked No. 5 in Class C, led 45-26 at the end of the third quarter before having to hold on against the top-ranked team in Class D. Daniel Cole scored 13 of his 27 points in the fourth quarter for Tri-unity Christian (6-1). Brad Visser scored 19 points for Calvin Christian.
Jackson Lumen Christi 63, Jackson 58 : Lumen Christi (5-0) hadn't defeated its rival in more than five years. Matt Bullinger's layup, with the assist going to Khari Willis, with 57 seconds left broke a 58-58 tie. Willis (23 points, three assists), a sophomore, came up with a steal on Jackson's next possession to seal the deal. Bullinger had 17 points and 10 rebounds. Clifford Kelly had 17 points for Jackson (2-5).
Kalamazoo Loy Norrix 58, Marshall 56 : Darrion Mullen banked in a 15-footer just before the buzzer to give Loy Norrix (7-1) the victory. Bishop Robinson led Loy Norrix with 25 points and 11 rebounds. Tony Wimberley scored 17 points to lead Marshall (5-1).
Walled Lake Central 39, Walled Lake Western 38 : Phil Nelson's 3-point play with 1:25 remaining gave Central (7-2, 3-0 KLAA North Division) a 39-35 lead and it held on for the upset at home. Western (6-2, 2-1) led 13-2 early in the second quarter and had two chances to win the game in the final few seconds but missed both shots.
Top 5 games this week
Wyoming Godwin Heights (7-0) at Wyoming Tri-unity Christian (6-1), Tue., 7 : Tri-unity Christian plays one of the top schedules of any Class D team and taking on Godwin Heights, ranked No. 5 in Class B, is another example. Godwin Heights has good balance offensively and could find a weakness or two in Tri-unity Christian's defense.
Detroit Southeastern (8-2) at Detroit Pershing (9-0), Fri., 4 : This is for first place between the top two teams in the PSL East Division. Point guard Kahlil Felder (hip injury) is expected to return for Pershing after missing last Friday's game. Unlike Pershing, Southeastern doesn't have a Division I prospect but it plays as a cohesive unit. The game could be moved to a larger venue because of the large crowd that is expected to attend.
Clarkston (5-2) at Southfield (9-1), Fri., 4 : Southfield is in first place in the OAA Red Division at 3-0. Clarkston, 1-1, must win to keep pace. Clarkston has had to cope with a number of injuries early in the season and is gradually getting some of those players back.
Harper Woods Chandler Park Academy (7-2) at Saginaw (8-1), Sat., 7 : Chandler Park plays one of the more competitive schedules for a Class B team and here's another. Chandler Park's Derrick Walton, Jr., is one of the leading candidates for the Mr. Basketball award and he could garner some votes with a fine performance here.
Detroit Pershing (9-0) vs. Flint Beecher (9-0) at Warren Fitzgerald, Sat., 8:30 : It's not often one has the chance to watch two No. 1-ranked teams face each other. Pershing's Martez Walker has yet to commit to a university and an assistant coach from Baylor is expected to be on hand to get a close look. Beecher's Monte Morris (Iowa State) goes head-to-head with Pershing's Felder (Oakland) at the point guard spot.

Expert Advice
Learn more about a running shoes make-up to make an informed choice:
Upper: The upper is the soft body of the shoe, usually made of a combination of materials from lightweight, durable synthetic mesh to heavier materials like leather. The materials and construction of the upper provide stability, comfort, and a snug fit:
- Toe box: The front part of the shoe. The toe box should provide ample room to allow the foot to flex and make the toe-off portion of the running motion more comfortable. A toe box that is too small will restrict the muscles and tendons in the foot and lead to pain and cramping.
- Heel counter: A plastic or composite material used to reinforce the heel area and increase stability. Heel counters come in varying degrees of stiffness. An external heel counter generally provides the most motion control and stability.
- Achilles notch: A groove in the back of the heel collar that protects the Achilles tendon. The notch provides a snug, secure fit preventing irritation to the tendon.
Last: This is the basic shape of the shoe. Running shoes have one of three basic lasts: straight, curved, and semi-curved.
- Straight: Heavier and provides more support under the arch.
- Curved: Lighter and less supportive.
- Semi-Curved: A hybrid of the two others and is capable of providing support under the arch.
Insole: The removable part inside the shoe that the runner's foot rests on. It offers more cushioning to supplement the midsole for added comfort.
Midsole: Provides cushioning and, in certain shoe types, the midsole evenly disperses pressure on the foot.
Outsole: The bottom layer of the shoe that is in direct contact with the ground.
Determining your gait mechanics is the essential toward selecting the best running shoe for you. Pronation is a term used to describe the natural inward roll of the foot during a runner's gait cycle. After the heel strikes the ground, the heel and the ankle roll inward and weight is transferred to the midfoot. Overpronation and underpronation can cause injuries if the runner is not wearing the proper shoe.

A graduation ceremony was held for the second group of students in Bahrain who received certificates in professional qualifications through Tamkeen's Accountancy, Finance and Islamic Finance programmes, including ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants).
Former ACCA president Dean Westcott and Tamkeen Chief Executive Mahmood Hashem Al-Kooheji attended the ceremony, held at The Diplomat Radisson Blu Hotel.
The Ernst & Young Training Centre, which offers Tamkeen's programmes, has enrolled more than 700 Bahraini applicants to the programme to date, with 135 having completed their course to date, including 80 graduates of the Foundations in Accountancy (FIA) suite of ACCA awards, and 32 in the ACCA qualification.
Commenting on the occasion, Tamkeen's Chief Executive Mr. Mahmood Hashem Al Kooheji said,: 'Bahrain's highly skilled human capital is a key competitive advantage that has long underpinned the kingdom's position as an attractive investment destination. Our leadership is committed to continue investing in our human capital through such initiatives to maintain this leading position and fuel future economic growth.'
Launched in October 2007 as part of Tamkeen's objective of up-skilling Bahrainis and enhancing their employability, the programme seeks to enable around 800 Bahrainis to pursue accredited professional qualifications to pursue or accelerate their career in the field of accountancy and finance.
Dean Westcott said: 'It is great to see our second round of students graduate from this programme. These graduates will be a vital asset to the country's financial development and to its surrounding neighbours.'
'Bahrain is transforming itself into a place for foreign investment, and with programmes such as Tamkeen's, as well as the government and private sector involvement, finance professionals all over the region will be beneficial to the global economy,' Westcott added.
New ACCA graduate, Mazen Al-Kooheji, said: 'The ACCA qualification helped sharpen my skills in many areas that are applicable to my current job role, like cashflow management, project management and finance decision-making. The difference it can make towards adding value in my job role has got me good feedback from my line manager. I feel I am adding value to my employer with my new skills. This will vertically help my career within the company and have a positive impact on future prospects.'
To date, more than 77,000 Bahraini individuals and enterprises in Bahrain have benefited from Tamkeen programmes to date, and the total number is expected to rise to more than 150,000.

Detroit — Third inning, Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays at Comerica Park: The Tigers get two singles and two walks. They don't score.
Seventh inning: The Tigers get a walk and two singles to load the bases with none out. They don't score.
End of game: Tigers 7, Blue Jays 3. The Tigers finish with 15 hits, including two home runs, and three balls clobbered that would have been home runs in most parks.
They did this on a gray afternoon when a guy named Victor Martinez was gone with a gashed thumb.
It was only one day of work by the Tigers hitters, which is a modest sampling. It also followed a game when CC Sabathia shut out a team that will still have its tough days against good pitchers.
But seven games into a new season, the same lesson deduced during camp is playing out in Detroit. The Tigers have broadened — substantially — their offense compared with the 2012 order that, during most games, had about three batters clicking.
"Probably the best I've been a part of," said Torii Hunter, who is one reason manager Jim Leyland's team can do things with a bat the 2012 World Series team couldn't. "If we stay healthy, it's going to be a lot of fun looking at those numbers."
He could begin with his own digits: a .424 average. Hunter knows a little about fitting into good lineups. He was wedged within that old Twins gang that so often drubbed the Tigers courtesy of himself, Michael Cuddyer, Jason Kubel, Joe Mauer, and Justin Morneau.
During his years with the Angels, Hunter played with Bobby Abreu, Kendrys Morales, Albert Pujols, Mike Trout, Mark Trumbo, Howie Kendricks, and Mike Napoli.
Hunter is at the heart of a new mix in Detroit that flashes these averages from its first four hitters: Austin Jackson, .345. Hunter, 424. Miguel Cabrera, .393. Prince Fielder, .308.
Big numbers, big promise
But it's through the batting order's second half that Leyland's team figures to make its amends.
Martinez is back and has hit the ball twice as hard as his .143 average would imply. No one has seen any falloff in Martinez's at-bats after a torn knee sabotaged his 2012 season.
Alex Avila had his second home run this season, added a single, and drove another ball 410 feet to the warning track in center field. Avila should have a 2013 that delivers more home runs and is more in line with his All-Star season of 2011.
Omar Infante, who only joined the Tigers late last July, is hitting .364 and can be expected to hit in the style of a quality everyday second baseman. Leyland bats Infante ninth for tactical reasons. He likes a hitter who can run and who can help set the table for his 1-through-4 gunslingers. Infante qualifies neatly.
Andy Dirks is having a chilly April, but that should change for an outfielder with a .293 career average who hit .322 a year ago.
Leyland realizes much of this will change. Hunter turns 38 in July and won't hit .400 or even .330 as this season evolves. Infante has been a .275 hitter through 11 seasons.
But neither will Martinez hit .143, which is where his average was Tuesday. Dirks is better than .188. Avila should add 50 points to his .227 mark.
Trade option
If there is a soft spot that could become a long-term problem, it is probably at shortstop. Jhonny Peralta is hitting .200 with one extra-base hit. He had a .689 OPS (on-base plus slugging percentage) in 2012, which is at least 50 points below the number a team needs from its everyday shortstop.
That situation is likely to change no later than July. Dave Dombrowski has a habit of making July his big-trade month, and the shortstop market likely will offer an option at midseason that wasn't available during the winter and spring camp when the Tigers general manager was trying mightily to make a deal.
But for now, Peralta is an exception to the Tigers general offensive profile.
Even on a day they leave scads of runners on base, and at a time some good hitters haven't yet budded, Leyland's gang can bruise you. They can beat you in ways they couldn't dream of doing in 2012.

Approximately half of all Americans between the ages of 65 and 75 have cataracts. At this time, there is no definitive way to prevent age-related cataracts, but early diagnosis improves treatment outcomes. So, if you are over age 60, you should have an eye examination at least once every one to two years. You should have an eye examination more often if you have any additional risk factors for cataracts, such as:
- Diabetes
- Glaucoma
- Hypertension
- Rheumatoid arthritis or other auto-immune diseases
- Any medical condition that requires you to take steroid medications for a long period of time
- A family history of cataracts or other eye diseases
Note: These guidelines are general. Follow the advice of your doctor when deciding how often to get your eyes examined.
The following measures may help reduce your risk of cataracts:
- Follow your doctor's advice to keep any chronic diseases in good control.
- Avoiding excess exposure to radiation.
- Avoiding excess exposure to sunlight. Wear a hat and ultraviolet (UV)A/UVB blocking sunglasses whenever in bright sunlight.
- Don't smoke.
- Wear protective eyewear when participating in sports to help avoid eye injury.

Lou and Scott LaRiche talk about their sunny showroom with nearly twice the capacity, an enlarged customer waiting area and sleek glassed-in sales offices, which highlight the recently completed remodeling and expansion at Lou LaRiche Chevrolet in Plymouth Township. / Bill Bresler | staff photographer
A sunny showroom with nearly twice the capacity, an enlarged customer waiting area and sleek glassed-in sales offices highlight the recently completed remodeling and expansion at Lou LaRiche Chevrolet in Plymouth Township.
The dealership, located at the corner of Plymouth Road and Haggerty since 1970, began the project just over a year ago and completed it in December. Now, with warmer weather and some drivers thoughts turning to buying cars, theyre introducing it to the public.
Its very, very nice. Its just wonderful how things turned out, founder Lou LaRiche said in his new office at the dealership. We built this for them, our customers.
The remodeling which adheres to a design scheme, from the light fixtures to the floor tiles, that General Motors Corp.s Chevrolet division prescribed for its dealers comes three years after LaRiche won its case to keep selling direct-from-production Chevys.
The then-struggling GM, in the midst of its 2009 bankruptcy proceedings, had cut off LaRiche, among hundreds of dealers across the country, from obtaining new cars, but LaRiche won an appeals process in 2010, remained with the automaker and is adding to its work force of 67 after a depths-of-recession low of 45.
Were fortunate to have the opportunity to do it, general manager Scott LaRiche said of the expansion and remodeling.
Scott LaRiche and his father were shooting parts of a 30-second television spot on a recent morning, and although the spots setting showed off the new look, it was not designed specifically around the remodeled building. That could come later, he said, and LaRiche is also planning a public grand reopening, probably for mid-June.
The construction project took office cubicles that were in the front of the showroom and moved them to the back and side, opening up the showroom space and making it appear larger. The showroom can now accommodate 12 vehicles, Scott LaRiche said, whereas only seven could fit in the old showroom.
Additional space was added to the southwest corner of the building, built over what had been a parking lot, for more offices and an employee lounge. A new conference room was built the old one was shared with Lou LaRiches office the customer waiting area enlarged and the customer restrooms completely redone. A new employee entrance in the back and a safe room with a combination lock for storing customers critical information were among the other additions.
Locking it in somebodys desk drawers just not enough, Scott LaRiche said.
The Chevrolet division oversaw the design and provided a list of approved finish materials, including ceiling tiles and floor tiles, as it is doing with every Chevy dealer planning a renovation, Scott LaRiche said. There was some leeway, however, such as four different types of GM-approved light fixtures from which to choose.
It was our job to make sure the pieces fit, Scott LaRiche said.
Previously, he said, Chevy had only weighed in on exterior renovations; new interiors were up to the dealers.
Scott LaRiche would not reveal how much was invested in the work. He said 90 percent of the planning and labor that went into the project came from Michigan firms; Joe Philips of Plymouth was the architect and Shaw Construction & Management of Livonia was the general contractor.
Scott LaRiche said Chevy models attracting the most attention lately are the Cruze, Equinox, Malibu and Impala.

The Politics of Shelley: History, Theory, Form
This volume takes as its starting point a 2001 volume in the Romantic Circles Praxis Series,
Reading Shelley's Interventionist Poetry, 1819-1820
, in which volume-editor Michael Scrivener, employing Theodor Adorno's terminology, interrogates a potential binary in our understanding of Shelley's "interventionist" work: the "antinomy of commitment and autonomy." Asking what it means for a work of art to intervene in its immediate political context, the present volume asserts the necessity of seeing through and beyond the antinomy of political commitment and artistic autonomy by rereading and reimagining the political in Shelley's writings and his legacy. Indeed, the essays in this volume chart new political possibilities in our estimation of Shelley's body of work—pathways that take us back to post-Peterloo repression through to the Victorian Shelleyans, and then forward to Jacques Rancière's post-Marxism.

Romantic Materialities
The six essays collected here suggest that Romanticism exposes us to a materialism that cannot merely be overcome and an idealism with which it is not identical. By reading beyond the texts conventionally associated with Romanticism, and by recasting the critical tendencies–from thing theory to object oriented ontology–through the poets, genres, and critics of Romanticism, these essays position Romanticism (and show how Romanticism may always have been positioned) in another relation to
things as they are
–or may be.

Visuality's Romantic Genealogies
This volume is dedicated to both excavating the Romantic genealogies of visuality and charting directions for the ways in which the study of Romantic visual culture may redraw the geographic, temporal, and disciplinary bounds of Romanticism, bringing diverse, and in some instances new, objects and their ethical, political, and aesthetic stakes into view. The essays investigate three broad inquiries: 1) technologies of vision and objectivity's slippages; 2) the indigenous or transplanted fruits of visuality's New World Genealogies and 3) the role of proto-photography, panopticism, and slavery in the spectral formation of Romantic visuality. Emphasizing the ways we interpret visuality in romantic culture, the volume invites reconsideration of media, practices, and discourses that would seem to belong to earlier and later periods—from the artifacts and modes of viewing attached to curiosity and to technologies and ways of imaging and imagining that have become aligned with photography and the digital.

Tragedy, Translation and Theory: In Honor of Thomas J. McCall
This issue takes its inspiration from the writings on translation, tragedy and twentieth-century literary theory in the work of the late Romanticist and comparatist Tom McCall, who died suddenly in January 2011. Three noted Romanticists and literary theorists, taking off from specific critical essays by McCall, explore the centrality of Greek tragedy as it emerges in Romantic writing (especially that of Friedrich Hölderlin), for philosophy, literature, and literary theory. Passing between the Greek and the German (notably in Hölderlin's translations of Sophocles), and between the literary and the philosophical, these papers offer new and original insights into the complex ways in which Romantic writing was bound to the translation and interpretation of Greek writing and the unique manner in which twentienth-century literary theory emerged from the Romantic reflection on the relation between language and the emergence (and suspension) of thought.

Stanley Cavell and the Event of Romanticism
The American philosopher Stanley Cavell arrives at the striking conclusion that "romanticism opens with the discovery of the problem of other minds, or with the discovery that the other is a problem, an opening of philosophy." Cavell's account of how Romanticism opens is not historical in orientation, but rather offers a rich conceptual, aesthetic, and ethical site of concern that both interrupts and generates his life's work—thus presenting an opening for scholars and students of the Romantic Period to think the subject of Romanticism anew in studying (with) Cavell. The present collection—with essays (in suggested reading order) by Emily Sun, Paul Fry, Eric Lindstrom, Eric Walker, and Anne-Lise François, and a substantial Afterword by Joshua Wilner—hinges between the efforts to record Cavell's engagement with British Romantic texts and to stage new interventions.

An Interview with Anne Mellor
In the interview that comprises this volume, Anne Mellor recounts her determined commitment to rethinking Romanticism through the lens of gender. On the eve of retirement, Mellor continues to query our assumptions and preoccupations as Romanticists, even as she looks back on her long career. The audio clips attached to the transcription resonate with Mellor's intellectual curiosity, as her voice continues to prompt the reader to return to the texts, the archives, and the critical concerns of Feminist Romanticism.

Romantic Numbers
The six essays in this volume offer a range of mediations prompted by the volume's title. This volume explores older and newer logics of "matching" and "counting" and "measuring" (whether statistical, geometric, or otherwise un/calculable); they register as well an upsurge in interest in formal-language, neurocognitive and medial-historical approaches. These essays invite us to think "bodies," "multitudes," and "subjectivity" along different axes. They ask us to think about the (romantic) one, the (romantic) proper name, quantity, and quality; they invite us to reflect on the status of poetry and measure, about the work of the novel as totalization, about models of mind, about calculuses of populations and food. Ranging through Wordsworth, Scott, Malthus, Babbage, and Galt (among others), this volume points to new directions in romanticist thinking while reconstructing the complexity of romantic-period thought.

Romanticism and Biopolitics
This collection of articles is intended to initiate a conversation about and between biopolitics and romanticism. Its broad contention is that the study of biopolitics reanimates the question of romanticism in two senses. First, the set of conceptual resources provided in recent work on biopolitics opens up inventive lines of inquiry that enable scholars to re-think the already established awareness that the literature, philosophy, and culture of romanticism displays an obsession with life. In another sense biopolitics reanimates romanticism insofar as the current scholarly concern with life as an object of power marks the radical survival of romanticism. If romanticism responds well when examined in the light of contemporary biopolitical theory, then a constitutive part of this response is a certain resistance to biopolitical theory. The contributors to this volume demonstrate that the biopolitical intervention on life engages paradoxes, predicaments, and aporias that have been widely or fully appreciated neither by theorists of biopolitics nor by critics who take up their work. Romanticism, we suggest, is a privileged locus for the awareness that even the most assured representation of life turns upon an irreducible "literariness." Edited and introduced by

Romanticism, Forgery and the Credit Crunch
The aim of this volume is to explore the Romantic credit crisis of 1797-1821. The decision to end cash payments and flood the economy with low denominational banknotes led to a spectacular increase in executions for banknote forgery. Many Romantic writers saw this bloody debacle as a sensational illustration of the dangers of an economic system based on mere "paper" value. While some critical attention has been given to the cultural history of credit (Brantlinger, Poovey), the issue of forgery has been overlooked. Yet, as the essays in this volume show, the impact of the credit crisis and its thousands of victims affected literature, journalism and art in often profound ways.

Romanticism and Disaster
Romanticism and Disaster
considers and responds to the timely concept of devastated life by thinking about how the capacity to read, interpret, and absorb disaster necessitates significant changes in theory, ethics, and common life. What if the consequences or "experience" of a disaster were less about psychic survival than an unblinking desire to face down the disaster as a challenge to normative structures? The essays in this volume attend to the rhetorical, epistemological, political, and social effects of romantic critique, and reflect on how processes of destruction and reconstitution, ruination and survival, are part and parcel of romanticism's grappling with a negativity that haunts its corners. Put in this way, "disaster" does not signal a referential event, but rather an undoing of certain apparently prior categories of dwelling, and forces us to contemplate living otherwise. In confronting the end of things, what are the conditions or possibilities of existence amidst catastrophe? What is a crisis, and what kinds of challenges does it occasion? What can be philosophically gained or lost by analyzing disaster in its multiple sites, contexts, and instances? This volume is edited and introduced by

Robert Bloomfield: The Inestimable Blessing of Letters
Robert Bloomfield's letters document one artist's struggles (and sometimes his victories) to share his unique voice and vision; the online publication of his extant letters (a companion to this collection of essays) reveals new and exciting insights into Bloomfield the artist and the man. The essays included in this collection highlight and draw attention to aspects of Bloomfield's literary production that would likely not be possible without the full access to his letters that the edition provides, and make a strong case for why Bloomfield continues to be worthy of study. They suggest how much more remains to be said about this prolific poet. This volume is edited and introduced by

Circulations: Romanticism and the Black Atlantic
This Romantic Circles Praxis Volume moves the perspective of critical inquiry into British Romanticism from the Island (England) to the Islands (West Indies), considering the particular significance of the Atlantic—watery vortex of myriad economic and cultural exchanges, roaring multiplicity of agencies, and vast whirlpool of creative powers. Black Romanticism remembers a forgotten ancestry of British culture, recovering the vital agencies of diasporic Africans and creole cultures of the West Indies. It does so by practicing counter-literacy, reading the works of nation, empire, and colony against themselves to liberate the common cultures they occlude. The five essays presented here examine texts by or about Jean Jacque Dessalines, Juan Manzano, Jack Mansong, Mary Prince, and John Gabriel Stedman, following a circuitous route that begins in Africa and travels from Haiti, Jamaica, Cuba, Suriname, Bermuda, and Antigua to corresponding points in England, America, and the continent. The circulation of radically different adaptations of the "same" material provides new ways to understand the colonial Caribbean. This volume is edited and introduced by

Romantic Frictions
The essays in
Romantic Frictions
find in Romanticism what philosophical modernity has often found there: a disposition to recognize oppositions that cannot be squared or resolved precisely because they constitute the ongoing work of culture and writing. Such frictions are embedded in a shifting temporal moment whose inner complexity is similarly textured such that neither history nor philosophy assumes a master (and fictional) disguise. Both are instead crosscut and assembled in ways that sustain an inner friction that invites being read. Rather than reify the critical tendency, stubbornly at issue since the 1980s, to suppose that Romanticism belongs either to deconstructive philosophy or to new historicism, the essays in this volume understand romanticism as a cultural and literary terrain where these and other disciplinary affiliations exist together, not as easy companions but as productive antagonists.

Romantic Fandom
Romantic-era fans collected autographs, souvenirs, portraits and relics of celebrity writers, artists, performers and athletes; pored over gossip-filled periodicals and newspaper notices; imitated celebrities' fashion statements; fantasized about becoming friends or lovers with celebrities; got caught up in "crazes" for persons and texts; created fan fiction, wrote fan mail and formed communities of like-minded devotees. Analyzing fan practices across a range of cultural contexts, the essays in this volume will explore how the concept of "fandom" can help us make sense of the role of various audiences in the cultural activity and cultural productions of the Romantic period.

Editing And Reading Blake
This volume looks at the profound challenges William Blake poses to both editors and readers. Despite the promises of the current multi-modal environment, the effort to represent Blake's works as he intended them to be read is increasingly being recognized as an editorial fantasy. All editorial work necessitates mediation and misrepresentation. Yet editorial work also illuminates much in Blake's corpus, and more remains to be done. The essays in this volume grapple with past, present, and future attempts at editing Blake's idiosyncratic verbal and visual work for a wide variety of audiences who will read Blake using numerous forms of media.

The Sublime and Education
This volume offers a series of essays in which contributors meditate on how the concept of education intersects with sublime theory and Romantic aesthetics more generally. Broadly speaking, this volume produces a set of revisionary readings rooted in the critical philosophy of Immanuel Kant and its place in our ongoing understanding of Romantic aesthetics and sublime theory. An underlying inspiration of this volume is the pedagogical theory of Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, who has thought widely about humanities-based training using Romantic-era texts as principal theoretical and literary tools, formative among them the aesthetic philosophy of Kant.

Romantic Psyche and Psychoanalysis
This volume offers a series of shifting perspectives on the emergence of psychoanalysis and a psychoanalytical consciousness in early and later British and German Romantic poetry, fiction, philosophy, and science. Rather than read psychoanalysis as one of Romanticism's inevitable outcomes, this volume reads for what remains unthought between Romantic thought and contemporary theory and criticism about Romanticism and psychoanalysis. The papers herein map versions of a psychoanalysis
avant la lettre
, but more crucially these essays imagine how psychoanalysis before Freud thinks itself differently, as well as anticipating and staging its later concerns, theorizations, and institutionalizations. Together they offer what might be called the profoundly psychosomatic matrix within which the specters of modern subjectivity materialize themselves. This volume is

Secularism, Cosmopolitanism, and Romanticism
This volume begins to unpack the relationships among the three terms of its title. Despite its air of neutrality, "secularism" is increasingly understood to have its own interests, particularly when it comes to defining and managing the "religious." And, thanks to its constitutive relationship to modernity, romanticism is invested in secularism, not least in those moments typically coded as "spiritual" or "religious." Cosmopolitanism, too, bears a vexed relationship to a period typically associated with nationalism. Finally, secularism and cosmopolitanism are themselves related in surprising ways, both historically and conceptually. Do they pursue the same project? Do they diverge? How and when? And how does romantic writing figure such alignments? These are the questions motivating the three essays in this volume. This volume is

Utopianism and Joanna Baillie
This volume contextualizes work by and work about Joanna Baillie with respect to revisionist thinking about utopianism. Since utopianism has become a positively valued concept within sociological, legal, and other fields, its implications for an understanding of Baillie's approach to social change/social problems, as well as for an understanding of scholarship recovering Baillie for contemporary purposes, deserve to be explored.
