The costly whore
"The Costly Whore" by A.H. Bullen is a play that explores themes of morality, redemption, and societal norms. Set in the bustling city of London, the play follows the story of a woman named Moll Frith, who, despite her occupation as a prostitute, possesses a strong sense of independence and resilience. As Moll navigates the challenges of her profession and the judgments of society, she encounters various characters who represent different facets of London life, including merchants, criminals, and members of the upper class. Through her interactions with these characters, Moll confronts questions about the nature of virtue, love, and self-worth. Bullen's play delves into the complexities of human nature and societal expectations, challenging audiences to reconsider their preconceived notions about morality and redemption. With its rich characterizations and thought-provoking themes, "The Costly Whore" offers a compelling exploration of the human condition in the context of Renaissance London.

A Vindication of the Redhead
A Vindication of the Redhead investigates red hair in literature, art, television, and film throughout Eastern and Western cultures. This study examines red hair as a signifier, perpetuated through stereotypes, myths, legends, and literary and visual representations. Brenda Ayres and Sarah E. Maier provide a history of attitudes held by hegemonic populations toward red-haired individuals, groups, and genders from antiquity to the present. Ayres and Maier explore such diverse topics as Judeo-Christian narratives of red hair, redheads in Pre-Raphaelite paintings, red hair and gender identity, famous literary redheads such as Anne of Green Gables and Pippi Longstocking, contemporary and Neo-Victorian representations of redheads from the Black Widow to The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, and more. This book illuminates the symbolic significance and related ideologies of red hair constructed in mythic, religious, literary, and visual cultural discourse.
