School House in the Wind
Long out of print and now published together for the first time, these three volumes of autobiography of the Cornish author and schoolteacher Anne Treneer cover the period from her birth at Gorran in 1891 to her retirement from teaching in 1948. The first volume, School House in the Wind, covers her early childhood in Cornwall until 1906. Cornish Years takes her to Truro, Exmouth and Exeter, and from there to Camborne, Liverpool and Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford. A Stranger in the Midlands covers the years between 1931 and 1947, when she taught at King Edwards High School for Girls in Birmingham. As well as a substantial introduction, the book includes a short biography of Anne Treneer, continuing her story to her death in 1966, and a descriptive bibliography of her writings.
School House in the Wind
Long out of print and now published together for the first time the three volumes of the autobiography of Anne Treneer, Cornish author and schoolteacher, cover the period from her birth in 1891 to her retirement from teaching in 1948. Treneer wrote in a wide range of literary forms -- poetry, essays, biography -- but it is for this trilogy that she is best known. The first volume, School House in the Wind, covers the period of Treneer's early childhood in Cornwall until her teacher training in St. Austell in 1906. Cornish Years covers the middle of her career, and A Stranger in the Midlands encompasses the years between 1931 and 1947, when Treneer taught at King Edwards High School for Girls in Bermingham. School House in the Wind includes a short biography of Anne Trenner, as well as a substantial introduction and a descriptive bibliography of Trenner's writings. From lovers of the English countryside to those interested in education, poetry, and women's history, this fascinating trilogy will hold great appeal.

As Told By Herself
As Told by Herself offers the first systematic study of women's autobiographical writing about childhood. More than 175 works—primarily from English-speaking countries and France, as well as other European countries—are presented here in historical sequence, allowing Lorna Martens to discern and reveal patterns as they emerge and change over time. What do the authors divulge, conceal, and emphasize? How do they understand the experience of growing up as girls? How do they understand themselves as parts of family or social groups, and what role do other individuals play in their recollections? To what extent do they concern themselves with issues of memory, truth, and fictionalization? Stopping just before second-wave feminism brought an explosion in women's childhood autobiographical writing, As Told by Herself explores the genre's roots and development from the mid-nineteenth century, and recovers many works that have been neglected or forgotten. The result illustrates how previous generations of women—in a variety of places and circumstances—understood themselves and their upbringing, and how they thought to present themselves to contemporary and future readers.

As the first cultural history of the sea in medieval English literature, this book traces premodern myths of insularity from their Old English beginnings to Shakespeare's Tempest. Beginning with a discussion of biblical, classical and pre-Conquest treatments of the sea, it investigates how such works as the Anglo-Norman Voyage of St Brendan, the Tristan romances, the chronicles of Matthew Paris, King Horn, Patience, The Book of Margery Kempe and The Libelle of Englyshe Polycye shape insular ideologies of Englishness. Whether it is Britain's privile...
