Sarah Waters
Author: Kaye Mitchell
Publisher: A&C Black
ISBN: 1441120211
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 179
Book Description
A multiple award-winning author, Sarah Waters is one of the most critically and commercially successful novelists writing today. In such novels as Fingersmith, Tipping the Velvet, Affinity and The Night Watch, her writing has played compellingly with popular and generic forms and narrative techniques and covered a number of important contemporary themes. This critical guide is the first book to offer a wide range of current critical perspectives on Waters' work. With chapters written by leading established and emerging scholars the book explores issues such as gender, sexuality, class, time and space in Waters' fiction, as well as her appropriation of a range of genres from the historical and neo-victorian novel to the gothic. The book also includes a new interview with Waters herself, a timeline of her life, chapter summaries and guides to further reading, making this an essential guide to the work of one of the most exciting voices in contemporary fiction.

Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 78
Book Description
Sir Charles, of a predilection given over too those quite younger than he, invites a bevy of virginal and bright young things to his substantial residence and grounds with the surest intention of debauching each eager and naive beauty. Under the guise of innocent games as 'hide-and-seek', 'blind-man's bluff', and the ever entertaining 'find the slipper', the old rake makes opportune of every moment to take the most lascivious liberties with them, both apart and a'la group, educating them in the ways of the gamahuche, tribade, and various positions of fornication, until all are truly awakened to the multiple pleasures of a Libertinage life. In letters to his previous loves, he describes in sumptuously graphic details the manner in which he seduces each of his wards, and the deeds they take great pleasure in partaking in. With a steady supply of inexperienced and willing young women from Mrs. J's orphanage to sate his libidinous desires, Sir Charles' virility will surely be put to the test. That's if his wife's lover as well as the sapphic tutor of one of his favorites don't put him to the sword. This classic gem of Victorian erotica, featuring some of the most titillating scenes that ever graced the pages of a like novel, and with some pistol brandishing brigands providing a dash of unexpected action, The New Epicurean, is a fine edition to any collection of the once forbidden.

Refiguring Oscar Wilde’s Salome
Author: Michael Y. Bennett
Publisher: Rodopi
ISBN: 9401207208
Category : Drama
Languages : en
Pages : 295
Book Description
While Oscar Wilde’s delightfully-witty comedies of manners receive the most fanfare from the general public and much of academia, Wilde’s most “serious” play—Salome—rightfully deserves an equal amount of attention. Written by emerging scholars, established scholars, and notable Wilde scholars at the top of the field, the far-ranging essays in this book—the first collection solely on Wilde’s Salome—provide new readings of the play, allowing us to better assess how and why Salome either fits or does not fit into Wilde’s oeuvre. Framed in a new light in this collection, this fuller understanding of Salome should potentially change the way we read both Salome and Wilde’s entire oeuvre.
