Scottish Midwives
There have always been midwives in Scotland although their history has been largely undocumented. The Midwives (Scotland) Act was passed in 1915 and regularised midwifery training and practice. Before this, although some women went through a form of training in midwifery, many women came to the profession by chance or through financial necessity. After the Act, the howdies of old gradually gave way to midwives, enrolled by the new Central Midwives' Board for Scotland. In this oral history, individuals remember an incident, a decade, a career, a lifetime, tracing the development of midwifery in Scotland in the twentieth century from their very own personal perspectives.
Ovidian Bibliofictions and the Tudor Book
Ovidian Bibliofictions and the Tudor Book examines the historical and the fictionalized reception of Ovid’s poetry in the literature and books of Tudor England. It does so through the study of a particular set of Ovidian narratives-namely, those concerning the protean heroines of the Heroides and Metamorphoses. In the late medieval and Renaissance eras, Ovid’s poetry stimulated the vernacular imaginations of authors ranging from Geoffrey Chaucer and John Gower to Isabella Whitney, William Shakespeare, and Michael Drayton. Ovid’s English protégés replicated and expanded upon the Roman poet’s distinctive and frequently remarked ’bookishness’ in their own adaptations of his works....

Slow Surrender
Slow Surrender' is a book which explores a side of the Christian faith which is not always expressed: that of struggle and suffering. The author has a chronic illness and has found the last few years difficult. Nevertheless, as she has wrestled with her faith, thinking about what it means to live a life marked by pain, largely hidden from the rest of the world, and certainly not the heroic life she once imagined a Christian life would be, she has found that 'underneath are the everlasting arms'. She has discovered more deeply than ever how her God is her refuge and how He gives her 'more grace as the burdens grow greater'. In the collection you will find poems of hope, and poems closer to despair, but through all the poems runs the common theme of seeking to trust that her God is faithful, that He has a plan for her life, and that one day He will bring her home to be with Him.
