The Companion Contract
The Companion Contract Lawyer – Robert Avery, who calculates the hours of his misery in six-minute units, loses his dignity, wife and beloved daughter in the mess of an untidy divorce. Jennifer Lewis, having just survived a disastrous childhood stares out at a dismal future. Chance and an inventive hairdresser bring their fates into collision by means of The Companion Contract. This intelligent debut novel delivers a quirky fast paced story, focused on characters who are never quite at the centre of their own lives. Reviews ‘A rewardingly subverted tragic-comic romance, thankfully not based on two unfeasibly attractive people.’ C. T. Bruce ‘Towards the end I was chewing the pages...’ Kate Headworth ‘I believed in it, the lovers’ blandness sparkled.’ S. Woodhouse ‘This darkly humorous, sexy, offbeat novel is worth the paper it’s written on.’ Jo Butler Amanda describes her novel as a ‘dysfunctional romance’. Enjoy the read.

Shakespeare and the Power of the Face
Throughout his plays, Shakespeare placed an extraordinary emphasis on the power of the face to reveal or conceal moral character and emotion, repeatedly inviting the audience to attend carefully to facial features and expressions. The essays collected here disclose that an attention to the power of the face in Shakespeare’s England helps explain moments when Shakespeare’s language of the self becomes intertwined with his language of the face. As the range of these essays demonstrates, an attention to Shakespeare’s treatment of faces has implications for our understanding of the historical and cultural context in which he wrote, as well as the significance of the face for the ongoing in...
Blood Matters
Blood Matters explores blood as a distinct category of inquiry in medieval and early modern Europe and draws together scholars who might not otherwise be in conversation.
Stigma
The early modern period opened a new era in the history of dermal marking. Intensifying global travel and trade, especially the slave trade, bought diverse skin-marking practices into contact as never before. Stigma examines the distinctive skin cultures and marking methods of Asia, Europe, Africa, and the Americas as they began to circulate and reshape one another in the early modern world. By highlighting the interwoven histories of tattooing, branding, stigmata, baptismal and beauty marks, wounds and scars, this volume shows that early modern markers of skin and readers of marked skin did not think about different kinds of cutaneous signs as separate from each other. On the contrary, Euro...
