Morphology of Desire
Morphology of Desire gives a generous introduction to the full range of writing by the internationally acclaimed Indonesian poet, Dorothea Rosa Herliany. The poems span the 1980s to the present day and though a distinctive mix of striking imagery and boldness of voice, the poet sets out to destroy many common assumptions about everyday life and human relationships. As a woman and a poet, she is doubtly an outsider. Her blatant departure, in form as well as content, from the accepted conventions of society (which intensifies through the progression of her work) is remarkable, not only in its personal and political ramifications, but in its emotional and imaginative tenor as well.

George Eliot and Her Women
George Eliot and Her Women argues that the Victorian writer George Eliot (1819 – 1880) was not only keenly aware of women’s issues but more deeply engaged with them than she has yet received credit for. Proposing that her work is still misread and misunderstood because of her unusual and complex relationship to gender and an inattention to the complexity of her female characters and their representation, the book examines Eliot’s construction and treatment of female characters throughout her prose fiction and her poetry to show that she was very much attuned to and supportive of women’s issues.

An Ordinary Marriage
An Ordinary Marriage is the story of the Chikhachevs, middling-income gentry landowners in nineteenth-century provincial Russia. In a seemingly strange contradiction, the mother of this family, Natalia, oversaw serf labor and managed finances while the father, Andrei, raised the children, at a time when domestic ideology advocating a woman's place in the home was at its height in European advice manuals. But Andrei Chikhachev defined masculinity as a realm of intellectualism; the father could be in charge of moral education, defined as an intellectual task. Managing estates that often barely yielded a livable income was a practical task and therefore considered less elevated, though still vi...

Dragonflyers
This book explores the lives of prominent expatriates working in varying fields and aims to understand why they were drawn to Indonesia and examines their diverse, but valuable contributions to Indonesia and its way of life. In doing so, it will facilitate a better understanding for readers in the East and the West regarding the contributions of prominent expatriates to Indonesia and their feelings towards a country which in many cases, may have become their “home.” Dragonflies which have been described as fantastic flyers, darting, twisting, turning and transforming, are just like expatriates who have contributed to Indonesia in a variety of fields. Like dragonflies, they are also remin...

Kill the Radio
In a strongly patriarchal society in which the norms of feminine subordination are sanctified by the strictures of religion, the rage and aggression of Dorothea Herliany's poems is remarkable. This collection introduces the work of one of Indonesia's most significant writers.
