Change is a powerful idea which inspires hope and fear, excitement and dread. From the panta rhei of Heraclitus to Darwinian evolutionary theory, nobel laureate Bob Dylans 'The times they are a-changin', the Obama campaign slogan 'Change we can believe in', and the current advertising mantra 'Change is good', it recurs as a challenge to the status quo. This volume contains essays on the topic of change in English language, literature and culture. Some are based on papers presented at the 2017 SAUTE conference, which took place at the Université de Neuchâtel, while others have been specially written for this volume.
