Peer into the minds of eleven men and one woman, all Civil War reenactors, who were hypnotically regressed to the time of that war. From their lips, piece after piece of astonishing information unfolds: details about the historic period and vivid descriptions of battles, camp life, prisons, even their own deaths. The experiences bring to life the most dramatic period in American history. The author's quest to connect these memories to actual nineteenth-century people led her to cemeteries, battlefields, and historians such as Brian Pohanka, who also participated in the adventure. The book provides an overview of reincarnation research, a reader's orientation of Civil War terminology and eight pages of photographs. Updated version.

The author, a clinical hypnotherapist, regressed thirteen participants in medieval and Renaissance festivals who recalled lifetimes they had lived during the Middle Ages. Their obsession with the medieval past began when they were children: Eric cried while leaving a museum because he wanted a suit of armor... Ann was fixated with the six wives of Henry VIII... Felicia taught herself to play the recorder effortlessly... Helen cut off her doll's hair and named her Joan of Arc... As adults, they reenact as troubadours, Vikings, belly dancers, knights, nuns, jesters, and blacksmiths. Feel history come alive in these fascinating narratives from their past-life regressions, and see what historical experts had to say about them. This contains a Middle Ages glossary and eight pages of photographs. Updated version.

This new edition brings to life Tobias Smollett's fourth novel, "The Life and Adventures of Sir Launcelot Greaves." No annotated edition of the work existed before the second half of the twentieth century, and this comprehensive edition by Robert Folkenflik and Barbara Laning Fitzpatrick features more accurate text as well as scrupulous textual and critical information. Also included in the detailed introduction is a unique examination of Sir Launcelot Greaves, the first illustrated serial novel, in relation to the engravings by Anthony Walker.

"Sir Launcelot Greaves" was a groundbreaking novel for Smollett. Published in "British Magazine" beginning in January 1760, it was the first major work by an English novelist to have been written specifically for serial publication. The novel, Smollett's shortest, differs stylistically from his previous works. The most attractive of his heroes, Sir Launcelot is virtuous and strange, and he is surrounded by a Smollettian menagerie whose various jargons are part of this novel's linguistic virtuosity and satire. Sir Launcelot's character is an English naturalization of Quixote. Although Sir Launcelot, unlike Quixote, is not the object of the author's satire, an idealistic madness is central to both characters. In Smollett's work the theme of madness is integral to the relationship between self and society as the work ponders both the constitution of madness and the alternatives to revenge.

"Sir Launcelot Greaves," though not Smollett's most heralded work, has not received the recognition it deserves. Folkenflik and Fitzpatrick present a definitive edition that will be appreciated by scholars and lovers of eighteenth-century literature.
