Lady Audley's Secret
AuthorMary Elizabeth Braddon
ISBN0192835203
whatever could be Lady Audley's secret? could it be... murder? miscegenation? malfeasance? misdirected malevolence ending in tears, tragedy, and general tawdriness? an assumed identity? flatulence? that not-so-fresh feeling? bigamy? bigotry? child abuse? child abandonment? une affaire...
AuthorA.S. Byatt
ISBN0679742271
It is always a little sad to reach the point where there is no more fiction to read by a favourite writer - let's hope she still has more to come. This was Byatt's first collection of stories, the last book she published before Possession, and although it lacks the thematic unity of most of her later story...
AuthorArthur Conan Doyle
ISBN0553212427

AuthorMary Elizabeth Braddon
ISBN0192837273
Mary Elizabeth Braddon has been having something of a moment recently, on the back of the current interest in Victorian sensation fiction. Lady Audley’s Secret (1862), Aurora Floyd (1863), and The Doctor’s Wife (1864) have both recently been republished in critical editions, by Oxford World’s...

AuthorHenry Fielding
ISBN0192804081
The real-life Jonathan Wild, gangland godfather and self-styled "Thieftaker General," controlled much of the London underworld until he was executed for his crimes in 1725.

Phineas Redux
AuthorAnthony Trollope
ISBN0641563582
The more I read Anthony Trollope's stories the more I see the masterful genius of this author. Last year I started his Barestshire series and loved it, so that it seemed natural to read his next series, Palliser. Are these series connected? Yes, because certain characters come pay their visit to this...

“Heterosexuality,” assumed to denote a universal sexual and cultural norm, has been largely exempt from critical scrutiny. In this boldly original work, Jonathan Ned Katz challenges the common notion that the distinction between heterosexuality and homosexuality has been a timeless one. ...
