Romanticism and Slave Narratives: Transatlantic Testimonies

Helen Thomas' study opens a new avenue for Romanticism by exploring connections with literature produced by slaves, slave owners, abolitionists and radical dissenters between 1770 and 1830. In the first major attempt to relate canonical Romantic texts to writings of the African diaspora, she investigates English literary Romanticism in the context of a transatlantic culture, and African culture in the context of eighteenth-century Britain. In so doing, she reveals an intertextual dialogue between two diverse yet equally rich cultural spheres, and their corresponding systems of thought, epistemology and expression.

The Passionate Fictions of Eliza Haywood: Essays on Her Life and Work

" The most prolific woman writer of the eighteenth century, Eliza Haywood (1693-1756?) was a key player in the history of the English novel. Along with her contemporary Defoe, she did more than any other writer to create a market for fiction prior to the emergence of Richardson, Fielding, and Smollett. Also one of Augustan England's most popular authors, Haywood came to fame in 1719 with the publication of her first novel, Love in Excess. In addition to writing fiction, she was a playwright, translator, bookseller, actress, theater critic, and editor of The Female Spectator, the first English periodical written by women for women.

Oxford Anthology of the Brazilian Short Story

"Lionel Trilling once wrote that literature makes us aware of 'the high authority of the self in its quarrel with its society and its culture. Literature is in that sense subversive.' Jackson has gathered between these covers Brazilian masters of subversion from Machado de Assis in the 19th Century to our contemporaries such as Lygia Fagundes Telles, Nélida Pinon and Moacyr Scliar. The translations are impeccable and Jackson's introductions are helpful and reliable road maps. What bounty!"--Ricardo da Silveira Lobo Sternberg, University of Toronto.

Young Adult Literature: From Romance to Realism

This updated and expanded second edition of Cart's already lively and comprehensive history of young adult literature (1996) is an essential resource. It is divided into two sections ("That Was Then" and "This Is Now"), and the author once again discusses the history and current moment to offer a broad and loving overview of the rich literature. Cart provides the historical context and earliest examples of books with teenaged protagonists, titles popular with teen readers, and, finally, the materials marketed specifically to young adults, from formulaic romance to edgier, grittier realism. He then moves on to considering how the field has changed in reaction to social, literary, and educational forces.

The American Homoeopathic Review

In the spring of 1858, there was dissatisfaction expressed by a large number of homeopathic physicians in the US that the North American Journal of Homoeopathy (the only professional homeopathic periodical at the time, in the US) was approving and publishing contributions which were not in line with the idea of homeopathy as taught by Hahnemann. The situation was remedied by foundation of the American Homeopathic Review whose editors proposed to "issuing one that should advocate a strict adherence to the homoeopathic law, although acknowledging the right or every physician to prescribe the remedies in such quantities as his experience or judgment dictated."
