Summary This edited book focuses on practices of work in late modern society, taking an issue-based and interdisciplinary approach to English Studies which acknowledges the impact of globalization on the position of English in the daily existence of millions of people around the world. Envisioning English as "a diverse yet unified subject" where the study of literature, language, and education can be pursued thematically, it constitutes part of an ongoing transformation and revitalization of English Studies. It will be of interest to readers with backgrounds in linguistics, literature and education, as well as fields normally seen as lying beyond English Studies such as psychology, sociology, philosophy, urban studies, political science and childhood studies. Alastair Henry is Professor of Language Education in the Department of Social and Behavioural Studies at University West, Sweden. Ake Persson is Professor of English Literatures in the Department of Social and Behavioural Studies at University West, Sweden
