Reed E: The Jane Austen Romance Guide
for Well-Bred Women

The Jane Austen Romance Guide for Well-Bred Women

Spotting Red Flags from Across the Ballroom

What does Jane Austen mean when she writes approvingly of a character's 'gentility' and 'delicacy', or critically of another's 'indolence' and 'impertinence'? What are her characters doing when they take the measure of a person's 'air' and 'address'? These questions and more are answered in this Janeite treasure trove, which examines the distinctive language woven through Austen's signature stories. Much of the language used in Austen's time has either fallen out of common use or changed valence in significant and surprising ways. Maria Frawley takes 50 of those words - words that are integral to the fabric of Austen's fiction - and explores them in short, accessible and lively entries. With juicy morsels for lifelong Austen lovers as well as new students of the great writer, Frawley offers new perspectives on Austen's world, giving readers the tools to better understand her novels individually and as a whole.

Jane Austen in 50 Words

Uncovers the central and leading roles of women in the development of organised consumer activism in the UK and the USA between 1885 and 1920

Women's Activism in the Transatlantic Consumers' Leagues, 1885-1920

From the award-winning author of&nbsp;Herc, an enrapturing feminist tale that brilliantly reimagines the story of Aphrodite and how she transformed herself from a lowly outsider to the darling goddess of love, for readers of Madeline Miller and Jennifer Saint. Aphrodite saw the gods on Mount Olympus and decided she wanted a piece of what they had. Only problem is, she’s not a goddess, just a lowly being who's supposed to remain in a distant cave, keeping the threads of Fate woven neatly. But Aphrodite’s never let anyone tell her what to do… Weaving herself a web of lies and careful deceptions, she convinces everyone she’s the goddess of love and that her rightful place is among the Olympians, who lord it over everyone else at the top of the world, but under the stifling rule of Zeus. For the first time, she has the best of everything, as well as friends, peers, even loved ones. Only, being a goddess isn’t quite like she thought. Those who oppose Zeus tend to disappear, or worse. And one day, Aphrodite decides she’s had enough… "Rogerson's impressive talent leaps from the pages."&nbsp;—Carly Reagon, author of&nbsp;The Toll House,&nbsp;on&nbsp;Herc

Aphrodite

A critical synthesis of the work of Lauren Berlant, Moishe Postone, and Michael Silverstein. The Treadmill Affect draws upon the work of three University of Chicago professors, each a former program director at the Center for Transcultural Studies: literary and cultural critic Lauren Berlant, historian and social theorist Moishe Postone, and linguist Michael Silverstein. Through this intellectual synthesis, Benjamin Lee demonstrates the critical possibilities of uniting a revived linguistic turn with Marxist accounts of affect and subjectivity, adding new dimensions to the "treadmill" affective structure of cruel optimism.

I Will Mix Your Blood with Coal

In Our Time has a curios history in that Earnest Hemingway released it in at least three different versions. The first edition (the 1924 Paris edition) was commissioned by Ezra Pound for Three Mountains Press and contains six prose vignettes. The collection explores loss grief separation and alienation topics Hemingway would never leave behind. 
Until Ezra Pound asked him to write this collection Hemingway was primarily a writer of non-fiction. This collection would forever change that. Hemingway’s spars style attracted attention immediately. The face of American Fiction would never be the same.

In Our Time

A revelatory history of the women who brought Victorian criminals to account-and how they became a cultural sensationShortlisted for The Wolfson History Prize 2025 &nbsp; From Wilkie Collins to the adventures of Sherlock Holmes, the traditional image of the Victorian detective is male. Few people realise that women detectives successfully investigated Victorian Britain, working both with the police and for private agencies, which they sometimes managed themselves. &nbsp; Sara Lodge recovers these forgotten women's lives. She also reveals the sensational role played by the fantasy female detective in Victorian melodrama and popular fiction, enthralling a public who relished the spectacle of a cross-dressing, fist-swinging heroine who got the better of love rats, burglars, and murderers alike. &nbsp; How did the morally ambiguous work of real women detectives, sometimes paid to betray their fellow women, compare with the exploits of their fictional counterparts, who always save the day? Lodge's book takes us into the murky underworld of Victorian society on both sides of the Atlantic, revealing the female detective as both an unacknowledged labourer and a feminist icon.

The Mysterious Case of the Victorian Female Detective

Carta Al Padre

'A literary and deeply heartfelt exploration of an under-appreciated genre. It is heaven from start to finish' INDIA KNIGHT, The Times 'This book is funny, wise, and joyfully obsessed with its subject' MONICA HEISEY 'Endlessly witty, breathtakingly clever, a book you'll read in one sitting' CAROLINE O'DONOGHUE 'The love letter the genre deserves' MHAIRI McFARLANE Smart, funny and passionate: An ode to a beloved genre and a brilliantly insightful piece of cultural criticism Cowboys and aliens, dukes and dancers, power dynamics, death and domesticity, vampires and veterans, tradwives and single dads and sisters and small-town politics, private jets and princes and horses, hopes and dreams and fears, and so, so much kissing: this is a love letter to romantic fiction, but it's also a book about creativity and creation and the job of art in this crazy old world. Why do we read? Why do we write? What makes some books last forever, and others vanish from memory? What is the point of everything, anything, when everything - especially romantic love - is so fleeting in the grand scheme of things? How do we love when the world is falling apart? And what does it mean that love is the one subject of which we never seem to tire? Part literary criticism, part investigation, total passion project, In Love with Love is a wild tour from the very beginnings of kissing in books through historic trends, favourite tropes, beloved friends and brand-new loves, from Jane Austen to Jasmine Guillory, Jilly Cooper to Georgette Heyer, from the depths of the ocean to the furthest reaches of the outer galaxy . . . 'A joyful and brilliant book by a joyful and brilliant writer' JESSICA STANLEY 'This passionate and profound love letter to the love story will make any romance reader's heart beat a little faster' SARRA MANNING, Red Magazine 'Risbridger's knowledge of this type of fiction is both broad and deep . . . marvellous, laugh-out-loud' CAROLINE CRAMPTON, Observer

The Persistence and Joy of Romantic Fiction

In Love with Love

At the end of the 1980s, a writer who very much resembles Günter Grass passes through East Germany on a book tour and visits the Cathedral of Naumburg with its famous twelve donor statues. He invites the sculptor's models to dinner-and they come, not as ghosts, but just as alive as they were in the thirteenth century.&nbsp;Toward the end of dinner, after drinking an icy Coca-Cola, the model for the famed beauty Uta von Naumburg declares she has to go to work: she's a living statue.&nbsp;
As he continues touring around Europe, the writer looks for Uta and her donation basket outside every cathedral he passes. At last, in Frankfurt, he sees her in front of a Deutsche Bank and the two have a meeting with staggering consequences. As Grass said, "on paper everything is possible", and in this tale he gleefully erases the line between life and death, present and past.

A Legend

The Living Statue

A quietly powerful exploration of memory and forgetting, from one of France's leading feminist public intellectuals"A labyrinth of looping, interlocked narratives which spiral out beyond the Annex as the night progresses. . . . The penultimate pages of this elegiac book are a sword-thrust to the heart."-Laurel Berger, Irish Times &nbsp; In 2021, the award¿winning French writer Lola Lafon was granted permission to stay overnight-alone for ten hours-in the Annex in Amsterdam where Anne Frank and her family had hidden from the Nazis between 1942 and 1944. Lafon's visit to this space, where Anne Frank wrote her famous diary, evoked the confinement and constant danger suffered by the Franks, and the family's ghostly presence as well. "The night was inhabited, lit by reflections," Lafon writes. "Some urgency still dwelled at the heart of the Annex, crouched there, ready to be discovered." &nbsp; Exploring the many stories told about Anne Frank, Lafon tries to find the precocious girl at the heart of the venerated and exploited myth, a disciplined writer whose famous diary is in fact a wonderfully constructed literary work. Throughout, Lafon reflects on what it means to lose loved ones, both Lafon's own family in the Holocaust and her childhood friend to the Khmer Rouge. A prizewinner and bestseller in France, this book asks us to consider the stories we tell ourselves about tragedy, how we grapple with loss, and why, in the face of danger and confinement, women write.
