Book Description
Menon introduces rhetoric into the largely medico-juridical realm of studies on Renaissance sexuality. In doing so, she suggests that rhetoric allows us to think through the erotics of language in ways that pay most attention to the frisson of English Renaissance drama.

Book Description
Dave is fourteen when his uncle teaches him how to pick up girls. Several women later, more than a few broken hearts in between, some drugs and alcohol added to the mixture, and a lack of sense of belonging to spice up the picture and Dave becomes a depressive romantic womanizer. Then he meets Izzy. She's a skeptical clairvoyant, a woman lost in her world of secrets, unspeakable ghosts, and intuitive knowledge. The first time Dave and Izzy meet, they have a spread of tarot cards between them. If anyone said that everything changed in their lives from that moment on, they would be lying, because it took Dave and Izzy six months and the other side of the world for that to happen. So when chance brings them together after their odd first encounter, they form a bound that goes beyond normal friendship and stops at almost nothing. Izzy holds Dave's deepest fears close to her heart and keeps his dirtiest secrets locked away in her soul. When they realize it, Dave's wanton life has already permeated all bits of Izzy's existence. He needs her sometimes more than the air he breathes, so love is not an option, is it? This is not merely about a man and a woman being just friends or more than that. This is about Dave's wanton life, told by Izzy, who lived it through him.

Book Description
The contributors to Wanton Women in Late-Imperial Chinese Literature: Models, Genres, Subversions and Traditions draw attention to ‘wanton woman’ themes across time as they were portrayed in court history (McMahon), fiction (Stevenson), drama (Lam, Wu), and songs and ballads (Ôki, Epstein, McLaren). Looking back, the essays challenge us with views of sexual transgression that are more heterogeneous than modern popular focus on Pan Jinlian would suggest. Central among the many insights to be found is that despite gender performance in Chinese history being overwhelmingly determined by the needs of patriarchal authority, men and women in the late imperial period discovered diverse ways in which to reflect on how men constantly sought their own bearings in reference to women.
