As in our earlier volumes, we have received valuable submissions at the intersection of literary studies, comparative literature, linguistics, translation and cultural studies for the current issue, and we are certain that the issue will emphasize opportunities for future research into the topics it encompasses.

The issue consists of articles originally presented as papers at the 26th METU British Novelists International Conference in Ankara. This conference series, organized by the Department of Foreign Language Education at the Middle East Technical University, receives the interest of international scholars and welcomes fruitful discussions on a single British author each year. In 2022, the theme of the conference was “Wilkie Collins and His Work,” and the keynote speaker was Professor Andrew Mangham from University of Reading, the Department of English Literature. Professor Mangham’s publications include We Are All Monsters: How Deviant Organisms Came to Define Us (MIT Press, 2023), Literature and Medicine in the Nineteenth Century (CUP, 2021), The Science of Starving in Victorian Literature, Medicine and Political Economy (OUP, 2020), Dickens's Forensic Realism: Truth, Bodies, Evidence (Ohio State UP, 2016), The Cambridge Companion to Sensation Fiction (CUP, 2013), and Wilkie Collins: Interdisciplinary Essays (Cambridge Scholars Press, 2007). We are honoured to give place in this special issue to his stimulating study “Out of the Blue? Epilepsy, Sensation and Wilkie Collins’s Poor Miss Finch” that explores the ways Collins’s work intersects with the questions asked by the sciences of health and wellbeing. Mangham argues that the writer, drawing on ideas explored in the medical literature of his day, portrays epileptic disorder in this novel and offers an examination of the apparent intersections between biology, identity, and different models of biological determinism.
As in our earlier volumes, in this issue too, we continue to cover interdisciplinary studies at the intersection of different areas of the human sciences that fall within the scope of the Journal and to share new perspectives in the humanities. For this special issue, we have received valuable submissions, and it is our privilege to give place to papers that maintain fruitful discussions on Collins’s fiction. The articles in the volume cover a variety of Collins’s novels, including Poor Miss Finch, The Woman in White, Basil, The Moonstone, and No Name. We are certain that the papers in the issue will stimulate further research in Collins’s cannon.
We, as the editorial board, would like to thank all the authors wholeheartedly for their scholarly contributions and for their collaboration throughout and our referees for their reviews and valuable comments. We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to Assoc. Prof. Dr. Hülya Yıldız Bağçe from the Middle East Technical University for her valuable contribution as the guest editor for this issue and as the chair of the organizing committee of the 26th METU British Novelists International Conference. We also thank the Board of Trustees and the Presidency of Çankaya University, and the Dean’s Office of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences for their continuous support.

As in our earlier volumes, we have received valuable submissions at the intersection of literary studies, comparative literature, linguistics, translation and cultural studies for the current issue, and we are certain that the issue will emphasize opportunities for future research into the topics it encompasses like emotional language processing in bilingualism, underground topography in Wright and Ellison, empire and exception in Kaplan’s work, ecocritical analysis of Majundar’s poems, emotion in Medieval Anglo-Norman tradition, gendered robotic bodies in McEwan and Newitz, hegemonic subject’s revolt against authority in Ravenhill, Hare’s memoir of Coronavirus, Collins’ framed narrative and its anti-mimetic function, linguistic obscurity in Conrad, and challenging ableism in Belluso. We would like to thank all the authors wholeheartedly for their scholarly contributions and for their collaboration throughout. We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to our referees who have volunteered to help with the process of blind reviewing and devoted their valuable time to evaluating submissions, for their insightful comments and efforts towards improving our manuscripts.

As in our earlier issues, in this issue of the volume too, we have maintained our efforts in adhering to and reaching the goals of academic discussion. We continue to cover interdisciplinary studies at the intersection of different areas of the human sciences that fall within the scope of the Journal and to share new perspectives in the humanities. This current issue is coming out during the time of a devastating pandemic. It responds to the global loss of many lives caused by Covid-19 by giving place to a discussion of Thanatos, the fear of death and our final surrender to it in dignity. The discussion is pursued in different articles in this volume through a diversity of texts. The issue includes highly stimulating articles also on such hot topics as African Migrant Mothers, trauma narrative, “making America great again,” and the concepts of authority and authenticity in creative writing, and a wide variety of literary texts from different periods such as Clarke’s Childhood’s End, Shafak’s Pinhan, DeLillo’s The Body Artist, Winterson’s Sexing the Cherry, Rooney’s Normal People, Barnes’s Nothing to be Frightened Of and Flaubert’s Parrot, Thackeray’s The Rose and The Ring, Sabahattin Ali’s “Melancholy,” and Poe’s “The Imp of the Perverse”. These and a myriad of other canonical texts are discussed from inventive angles in the issue articles. We are sure our readers will enjoy observing the many-sided analyses taking place in these articles, and we hope the present volume will be of interest for scholars and stimulate further research.
The editor-in-chief would like to thank all the authors wholeheartedly for their scholarly contributions and for their collaborations throughout. I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to our referees for their reviews and valuable comments.

Pursuing a comparative linguistic analysis of headlines from serious and sensationalist journalism in the UK, the authors of the article show that “information is one of the most powerful tools, not only to just inform but also to alarm people and create panic”. Following the premise that information is a power to be channeled in the direction of benefit more than hindrance, we maintained our efforts in adhering to and reaching goals of academic discussion in these difficult times. As in our earlier issues, in this issue of the volume too, we continue to cover interdisciplinary studies at the intersection of different areas of the human sciences that fall within the scope of the Journal. Sharing and expanding the new perspectives in humanities and social sciences is of primary focus for the Journal, which aims to reach wider audience through its fully open-access policy.
We, as the editorial board, would like to wholeheartedly thank all the authors for their scholarly contributions and the team of referees for their reviews. We owe special thanks to Dr. Anna Maria Karczewska from University of Białystok, Poland for her tremendous work as the guest editor for this issue. We also like to thank the Board of Trustees and the Presidency of Çankaya University, and the Dean’s Office of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences for their continuous support.

As in our earlier issues, in this issue of the volume too, we continue to cover interdisciplinary studies at the intersection of different areas of the human sciences that fall within the scope of the Journal and to share new perspectives in the humanities. To this end, the present issue, consisting of articles originally presented as papers at the 24th METU British Novelists International Conference, is devoted to Julian Barnes’s work. This conference series, organized by the Department of Foreign Language Education at Middle East Technical University, receives the interest of international scholars and welcomes fruitful discussions on a single British author each year. In 2018, the theme of the conference was “Julian Barnes and His Work,” and the keynote speaker was Prof. Dr. Vanessa Guignery from École Normale Supérieure de Lyon, France. We are honoured to give place to her stimulating study in this volume along with the work of the other authors whose research on Barnes is well-known. Guignery’s study “uncovers the intricate palimpsest of Barnes’s work” through the author’s archives, and it shows in an astonishing way the novelist’s careful character construction with specific traits and voices, particularly in the "diptych" Talking It Over (1991) and Love, etc. (2000). The articles in the present issue cover a wide variety of Barnes’s novels, short stories, the author’s personal notes and sketches, and also the film adaptation of his 2011 novel, The Sense of an Ending.
