Contesting the Past, Reconstructing the Nation
In this study of Gilded Age literature and culture, Ben Railton proposes that in the years after Reconstruction, America's identity was often connected through distinct and competing conceptions of the nation's history. Concerned with key social questions such as race, Native Americans, women, and the South, "Contesting the Past, Reconstructing the Nation" provided close readings of a number of texts for the ways they highlight these issues. This book examines established classics, newer additions to the canon, largely forgotten best-sellers, recovery gems, and autobiographical works by Douglass and Truth, poems by Harper and Piatt, and short stories by Woolson and Cooke. These readings contribute to ongoing conversations over historical literature's definition and value, and a greater understanding of not only American society in the Gilded Age, but also debates on our shared but contested history that remain very much alive in the present. -- From publisher's description.
Bloody Murder
"Off with her head!" decreed the Queen of Hearts, one of a multitude of murderous villains populating the pages of children's literature explored in this volume. Given the long-standing belief that children ought to be shielded from disturbing life events, it is surprising to see how many stories for kids involve killing. Bloody Murder is the first full-length critical study of this pervasive theme of murder in children’s literature. Through rereadings of well-known works, such as Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, the Nancy Drew Mystery Stories, and The Outsiders, Michelle Ann Abate explores how acts of homicide connect these works with an array of previously unforeseen literary, social,...

The Bizarro Story of I
When I's wife Anorexia is kidnapped (and his mouth stolen) by a trio of Stetson-wearing bodybuilders, he sets off on a mission to rescue them both. I consults his friend Stalker (a misogynistic bounty hunter) and together they use his underworld connections to find out where his wife has been taken. Initial enquiries point to Gymland, the Queendom of the Steroid Cowboys. The pair, along with Nasty (Stalker's occasional girlfriend) embark on a quest to rescue Anorexia. To reach Gymland the trio must travel through the Ratlands. As they navigate through its carnivorous rat-trees, and the equally carnivorous Fearys, (unseen monsters that live in the closet) matters quickly become deadly. The psychotic Meat Puppeteer and his Biker Zombie Puppets descend upon the group and threaten to strip them of their skeletons. I's rescue mission now makes a detour into the land of the mutant Fishlee, a race of parasitic fish that attach themselves to human crotches. It's here he discovers his wife Anorexia isn't who he thought she was.Then things really take a nosedive...

In the fifth installment of Rooster Republic's flagship anthology series, we have some really tremendous fiction. It's great. You can't beat fiction like this. A lot of kids come up to me and they tell me how great they think this fiction is. I believe them. Believe me, it's a great collection with some fantastic authors giving us their best work. I believe me. Why don't you? You too good for all this fun, freaky, and far-out fiction? Maybe go read a book about bird watching, you voyeuristic pervert. This anthology is for connoisseurs who are sick of watching birds. They want to look at words-not at our fine feathered friends. Though, if I'm being honest, I've never met a bird I would call m...

Labors of Love
How to raise a child became a central concern of intellectual debate from Cairo to Beirut over the course of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Intimately linked with discussions around capitalism and democracy, considerations about women, gender, and childrearing emerged as essential to modern social theory. Arab writers, particularly women, made sex, the body, and women's ethical labor central to fending off European imperial advances, instituting representative politics, and managing social order. Labors of Love traces the political power of motherhood and childrearing in Arabic thought. Susanna Ferguson reveals how debates around raising children became foundational to fe...
