European Posthumanism documents the rich influences from Continental philosophy and theory shaping one of the most widely discussed paradigms of the 21st century: posthumanism. With a landmark essay by the editors and notably incisive essays by the team of contributors, this volume looks set to be a standard work of reference on the complex intersections across posthumanism, theory, English and comparative literature. This book was originally published as a special issue of the European Journal of English Studies.
