Ask Me No More
"Twenty years span a changing England and Alex Wharton exchanges one loyalty for another when she loses Geoffrey Bliss, an actor-manager drenched in charm, and befriends, years after Geoffrey's death, 18 year old Ludo Carne whose unbridled, wild and tricky ways spell danger for her. Geoffrey's theater, extra-marital and self-excusing waywardness keep young Alex away from her vicarage background and, as his mistress, she is committed to being his refuge. Marriage to him, after his affairs with Lady Carne, results in her early widowhood when he is killed in a sentimental gesture during the war; and, later years, bring Lady Carne's youngest son, Ludo, to Alex' doorstep. Ludo, running away from America, forgery, embezzlement and a doubt of his manhood, rouses Alex' dedication -- and, finding in her sexual reassurance, works out the truth of his parentage, deceiver her as to the depth of his savage climate and writes a finish with young, drunken Elie, leaving Alex to live with unanswered questions."--Kirkus.

Jewish/Christian/Queer
At a time when major branches of Judaism and most Christian denominations are addressing the relationship between religion and homosexuality, Jewish/Christian/Queer offers a unique examination of the similarities between the queer intersections of Judaism and Christianity, and the queer intersections of the homosexual and the religious. This volume investigates three forms of queerness; the rhetorical, theological and the discursive dissonance at the meeting points between Christianity and Judaism; the crossroads of the religious and the homosexual; and the intersections of these two forms of queerness, namely where the religiously queer of Jewish and Christian speech intersects with the sexually queer of religiously identified homosexual discourse. Including essays on literature and literary theory, Christian theology, Biblical, Rabbinic, and Jewish studies, queer theory, architecture, Freud, gay and lesbian studies and history, Jewish/Christian/Queer will have a truly interdisciplinary appeal.

All Our Yesterdays
1930. Tomlinson was a shipping clerk, a journalist, a war correspondent, a newspaper editor, and a travel writer and novelist. His subject matter is often natural history or the foolishness of mortals. His accounts of the sea, travel, and the Great War have not been surpassed. His antiwar novel, All Our Yesterdays, begins: The traffic of Dockland, where my omnibus stopped, loosened into a broadway. There the vans and lorries, released from the congestion of narrow streets, opened out and made speed in an uproar of iron-shod wheels and hooves on granite blocks. I could hear progress. It was on its way. It was pouring about in a triumphant muddle of noise too loud to be doubted. There was no need to repose on faith in the favored evolution of man. That wonderful conjuration of good things out of this planet by the steam-engine and the cotton-jenny was dominant.
