Voices from the Asylum
Straddling the disciplines of literature and social history, and based on extensive archival research, this book makes a crucial contribution to the feminist project of writing women back into literary history. It brings to light the hitherto unrecognised literary tradition in the prehistory of psychoanalysis: the psychiatric memoir.
Prohibitions and Psychoactive Substances in History, Culture and Theory
This volume is a new contribution to the dynamic scholarly discussion of the control and regulation of psychoactive substances in culture and society. Offering new critical reflections on the reasons prohibitions have historically arisen, the book analyses "prohibitions" as ambivalent and tenuous interactions between the users of psychoactive substances and regulators of their use. This original collection of essays engages with contemporary debates concerning addiction, intoxication and drug regulation, and will be of interest to scholars in the arts, humanities and social sciences interested in narratives of prohibition and their social and cultural meanings.
The Wheelwright Genealogy
A register report is one of the clearest and most comprehensive ways to record a family tree - and is certainly far easier to handle than acres of family charts! This is a clearly presented register report with a full alphabetical index for the Wheelwright family. A companion volume to 'The Wheelwright Family Story', it follows their history from Lincolnshire, England to The Americas and back to England, Africa, Australasia and beyond. Spanning 400 years, 13 generations and over 2,000 individuals it is an essential resource for anyone researching the history of New England's founding families.
Remembering Chester County
Through a series of fascinating vignettes from local storyteller Susannah Brody, discover how the people of Chester County affected and were affected by American history. When Elizabeth Chad opened her door one foggy September day in 1777 to see the Continental army surrounding her property, little did she know that her home would soon be the scene of the Battle of the Brandywine, which led to a series of skirmishes from Paoli to Valley Forge. One hundred years later, the Great Tornado of 1877 destroyed towns and crops, and the famous Buffalo Bill caused a ruckus when he strolled into West Chester. Discover how the people of Chester County secreted slaves along the Underground Railroad, hosted witch trials and fought for women's suffrage.
