The Liberation of Rebecca Stern
As she poises her pen over the pages of her diary, Rebecca Stern is not concerned with literary value. For her, the diary is simply a means of survival--a place of recreation and a vehicle to paradise. After Rebecca leaves Earth before the age of fifty, her family gifts her letters, papers, and diary pages to an editor friend who reads it in amazement. After receiving approval from Rebeccas husband, the friend shares Rebeccas life story--told through both poetry and short stories--as well as her own commentaries. Ranging from the humorous to the tragic, Rebeccas words are always thoughtful and heartfelt as she reveals a glimpse into the grit and grime of life. In poetry, stories, and fairy t...

Woman City
Woman City is a city where children would play and never have to worry about being kidnapped, molested, or killed. Where men would not be needed and would not be found. Where all the laws that had been established by men, would fall and crumble, and where the laws that would be ordained by free women would stand. Where the philosophies that regarded men with favor would be discredited, and where new philosophies would come hand in hand. Where a woman would take back her body and do whatever she wanted to do with it, and where the souls of innocent women that had been raped, killed and thrown in the woods to rot, or kicked in the stomach so that they could lose their babies, would cry to the sky, would take back the night, would take back the body, and take back the soul.
The Victorian Novel, Service Work, and the Nineteenth-Century Economy
This book offers a much-needed study of the Victorian novel's role in representing and shaping the service sector's emergence. Arguing that prior accounts of the novel's relation to the rise of finance have missed the emergence of a wider service sector, it traces the effects of service work's many forms and class positions in the Victorian novel.
Freak Inheritance
In Freak Inheritance, both leading authors and emerging voices use cutting-edge disability and cultural theories to expose the operations of eugenicist thought in historical and contemporary culture. It is the follow-up to the field-defining Freakery: Cultural Spectacles of the Extraordinary Body (1996).
Purity and Contamination in Late Victorian Detective Fiction
Concentrating on works by authors such as Fergus Hume, Arthur Conan Doyle, Grant Allen, L.T. Meade, and Marie Belloc Lowndes, Christopher Pittard explores the complex relation between the emergence of detective fictions in the 1880s and 1890s and the concept of purity. The centrality of material and moral purity as a theme of the genre, Pittard argues, both reflected and satirised a contemporary discourse of degeneration in which criminality was equated with dirt and disease and where national boundaries were guarded against the threat of the criminal foreigner. Situating his discussion within the ideologies underpinning George Newnes's Strand Magazine as well as a wide range of nonfiction t...
