Four Plays about Disability

This book is comprised of four-esteemed plays for undergraduate drama performance exploring the world of disability through the backdrop of history. Wellclose Square revisits the Whitechapel murders to explore the origins of criminal genetic engineering; Unsex Me Here uncovers the hidden Nazi programme of genocide against the disabled; Gnarled explores the life and times of a hideously disabled prostitute in the Victorian era—who survived into her 80s, and Cripplegate, recently zoomed with distinguished professional actors, is a personal account of disabled trial and triumph. Together, the plays offer students and general readers alike, a riveting panorama of disabled life, characterised by Joyce Carol Oates as “the triumph of twisted”.

In the first half of the 19th century, Mary Marshall Dyer (1780-1867) was at the center of an aggressive anti-Shaker movement - an informal yet effective group joined by their despisal of Shakerism and their determination to thwart the new faith. With her husband and their five children, Dyer had been a Shaker for two years, but as her husband grew increasingly attracted to Shakerism, Dyer's own commitment waned, and when she announced she was leaving the sect and requested the return of her children , neither her husband nor the Shaker authorities would relinquish them. Distraught, angry, and alone, Dyer turned her anguish into action and embarked on a fifty year campaign against the Shaker...

Writing for Wellbeing

Writing can support our wellbeing even under the most difficult life circumstances, helping us to adapt to significant change, make sense of loss, improve our physical and emotional resilience, and foster personal growth. Numerous studies of Expressive Writing have confirmed this, and there are other established methodologies for practice. However, to date, few accounts have offered detailed descriptions showing how and why putting pen to paper can be so beneficial. This book delves deeply into the landscape of Writing-for-wellbeing and demonstrates the transformative power of writing in a wide range of contexts. Topics include personal trauma narratives within the Humanities; a participator...

Life, Death & Last Words of John Keats

“Here lies one whose name was writ in water”. This is the phrase the English Romantic poet Keats desired to be inscribed on his tombstone. Just this phrase; he did not even want his name to appear on his tombstone; merely this line. Keats wanted simply the above phrase on his tombstone for by the time his death was near, he was embittered with life and believed he would soon be forgotten. But, contrary to it, more than two hundred years after his death, he is still remembered as one of the greatest English Romantic poets ever. This book, the second in the “Last Words Series”, deals with the fascinating account of the ‘Life, Death, and Last Words’ of the English Romantic poet John Keats (31 October 1795 -- 23 February 1821). Keats came to this world on a short visit. He was just over 25 when he died. EBook: G
