Endlich gibt es eine Auswahl der besten Erzählungen von Axel Thormählen auf Deutsch:
Über die in den U.S.A. herausgegebene Auswahl A Happy Man and other Stories (Les Figues Press) schrieb Claude Rawson, Literaturprofessor an der Yale University: „Ein entzückendes, ungewöhnliches, hochindividuelles Buch mit einer milden Weisheit, manchmal beunruhigend oder belustigend oder beides zugleich, aber immer unverwechselbar.“

The Brontës and Education (paperback)
All the seven Brontë novels are concerned with education in both senses, that of upbringing as well as that of learning. The Brontë sisters all worked as teachers before they became published novelists. In spite of the prevalence of education in the sisters' lives and fiction, however, this is the first full-length book on the subject. Marianne Thormählen explores how their representations of fictional teachers and schools engage with the intense debates on education in the nineteenth century, drawing on a wealth of documentary evidence about educational theory and practice in the lifetime of the Brontës. This study offers much new information both about the Brontës and their books and about the most urgent issue in early-nineteenth-century British social politics: the education of the people, of all classes and both sexes.

The Water Tower and Other Stories
In these six stories, everyday incidents and situations become extraordinary, lingering on in the reader's memory. For instance, the search for the perfect Christmas tree will never be quite the same again after reading '23 December'.
The pursuit of human happiness in all its different manifestations is at the core of these taut, ironic, and compassionate tales.
Eliot’s Animals
T. S. Eliot´s poems and plays are full of animals, from the alley cats of the early poems by way of the eagle, leopards, and unicorns in Ash-Wednesday to the birds in Four Quartets. Marianne Thormählen´s Eliot´s Animals takes you on a guided tour of Eliot´s bestiary, showing how the poet brought a rich variety of ideas about animals into his texts and invested those texts with layers of meaning derived from, for instance, Dante, Baudelaire, and the Bible. Eliot´s Animals is a book to dip into for the Eliot reader curious to see how a particular scene can be perceived with reference to the function of a particular animal image. There is no need to read it straight through -- but those who do will learn something new about Eliot´s range and subtlety in handling symbolic features.

Selected Papers from the 20th IAUPE Conference in Lund 2007
In August 2007, about 200 senior researchers in the field of English, language and literature, spent a week in Lund taking the temperature of their subject. Nearly 150 papers were presented in 19 conference sections. This volume contains a lively selection, chosen by the 37 Section Chairs as saying something about where research in the discipline is heading. Also included are the two plenary lectures about the state and future of English in the academy by Elizabeth Traugott (language) and Helen Vendler (literature).
A common feature unites this diverse collection: English literature and language as a vital concern for real people, all over the world and in the past as well as the present. Here 'English' reaffirms its human credentials, moving forward with fresh confidence and enthusiasm. (Lund Studies in English 112, ISBN 978-91-976935-0-9)

De närvarande
Innehåller åtta sträva, intensiva berättelser ur samtiden som präglas av en illusionslös psykologi, där medkänsla ändå är utgångspunkten, och en ovanlig förmåga till satir och svart humor. Om sitt författarskap skriver Thormählen själv: Det ställer människan och möjligheterna i medelpunkten. Med varje gestalt börjar för mig en ny livserfarenhet, jag följer den och det ofta absurda försöket att fylla tillvaronskorta tidsrymd med en innebörd. För att kunna finnas till, måste man först beröra jorden; ett par av de gestalter jag beskriver glöder och förkolnar vid försöket. Andra finner åtminstone hoppet om ett fotfäste.
