Prisons & Prisoners: Some Personal Experiences
Constance Lady Lytton's 'Prisons & Prisoners: Some Personal Experiences' is a poignant and eye-opening account of the author's personal encounters with the British prison system in the early 20th century. Through a series of vivid and detailed anecdotes, Lytton sheds light on the harsh realities of imprisonment and the inhumane treatment of prisoners, highlighting the urgent need for prison reform. Her writing style is both eloquent and compelling, drawing the reader into the world of incarceration and social injustice. Set against the backdrop of the suffragette movement and women's rights activism, this book provides a unique perspective on the intersection of gender, class, and crime in Victorian England. As a member of the aristocracy who willingly immersed herself in the world of the marginalized, Lytton's insights are invaluable and thought-provoking. 'Prisons & Prisoners' is a must-read for anyone interested in social reform, criminal justice, or the history of activism.
The Penguin Book of Victorian Verse
Daniel Karlin has selected poetry written and published during the reign of Queen Victoria, (1837-1901). Giving pride of place to Tennyson, Robert Browning, and Christina Rossetti, the volume offers generous selections from other major poets such asArnold, Emily Bronte, Hardy and Hopkins, and makes room for several poem-sequences in their entirety. It is wonderful, too, in its discovery and inclusion of eccentric, dissenting, un-Victorian voices, poets who squarely refuse to 'represent' their period. It also includes the work of Elizabeth Barrett Browning, George Meredith, James Thomson and Augusta Webster.

That work, perfect and exhaustive as a biography, is only incomplete as regards correspondence; the scheme of the book having made it impossible to include in its space any letters, or hardly any, besides those addressed to Mr. Forster.
Convict Voices
In this lively study of the development and transformation of voices of female offenders in nineteenth-century England, Anne Schwan analyzes a range of colorful sources, including crime broadsides, reform literature, prisoners' own writings about imprisonment and courtroom politics, and conventional literary texts, such as Adam Bede and The Moonstone. Not only does Schwan demonstrate strategies for interpreting ambivalent and often contradictory texts, she also provides a carefully historicized approach to the work of feminist recovery. Crossing class lines, genre boundaries, and gender roles in the effort to trace prisoners, authors, and female communities (imagined or real), Schwan brings ...
