Since its inception in 2016, the Literature, Culture and Media Studies eBook collection has been home to some of the most cutting-edge research in the humanities, and this year is no different. While building on classic well-studied topics, the 2024 collection forges ahead and ventures further into innovative and emerging research areas.

Classic subjects such as Shakespeare, film and television studies and theatre history are, as ever, well covered but newer topics such as social media, sound and music studies, literature and science, theatre and the environment, science fiction and fantasy, and interpersonal communication are added to bring this collection right up to date for students and researchers interested in critical contemporary cultural issues.

Featuring a fantastic line-up of authors, this collection continues to showcase topflight research that breaks barriers and wins awards. Notable contributors have included esteemed scholar of media and communication Arthur Asa Berger, renowned semiotician Marcel Danesi, and award-winning investigative journalist David Leigh, and award-winning Mexican journalist and author Elena Poniatowska, with many equally high calibre authors set to feature in the 2024 collection.

Our Handbooks programme is particularly strong for 2024 with a swathe of new titles releasing such asThe Palgrave Handbook of African American Literature in the Twenty-First Century, The Palgrave Handbook of Neo-Victorianism, and The Palgrave Handbook of Comparative New Cinema Histories to name but a few. We are publishing a number of exciting textbooks including Record, Mix, and Master: A Beginner's Guide to Audio Production, The Shaping of News: A Framework for Analysis,  Approaches to Digital Archives and a new creative writing student guide, Writing Ecofiction.  In addition we are releasing 2nd Editions of Ann Millett-Gallant's The Disabled Body in Contemporary Art and Gareth White's Audience Participation in Theatre.
