A constellation of new essays on authorship, politics and history,
British Women's Writing in the Long Eighteenth Century: Authorship,
Politics and History presents the latest thinking about the debates
raised by scholarship on gender and women's writing in the long
eighteenth century. The essays highlight the ways in which women
writers were key to the creation of the worlds of politics and
letters in the period, reading the possibilities and limits of
their engagement in those worlds as more complex and nuanced than
earlier paradigms would suggest. Contributors include Norma Clarke,
Janet Todd, Brian Southam , Harriet Guest, Isobel Grundy and
Felicity Nussbaum. Published in association with the Chawton House
Library, Hampshire - for more information, visit

A collection of new essays, "Imagining Transatlantic Slavery"
offers the latest research and thinking on current debates about
the representation - past and present - of transatlantic slavery.
Building on the interest generated by the bicentenary in 2007-8 of
the end of British and American involvement in the transatlantic
slave trade, our volume is interdisciplinary, drawing on history,
literature and museum and heritage studies. Its focus is on the
transatlantic nature of slavery and abolition, and the essays range
from the seventeenth to the twenty-first century. Its distinguished
contributors offer a critical view of the histories leading up to
the defining decisions of 1807-08 and its complex legacies over the
last two centuries. Essays on notable figures such as Phillis
Wheatley, Olaudah Equiano, Hannah More, Benjamin Flower, and
William and Ellen Craft are juxtaposed with those on early Quaker
writing and the use of photography in abolitionist discourse. The
last part of the book on 'Remembering and Forgetting' addresses
debates surrounding the representation of slavery in drama, visual
culture, museums and galleries, and appraises the importance of
recent research to public understanding of slavery today.

"Women and Material Culture" comprises twelve illustrated,
interdisciplinary essays on gender and material culture across the
long eighteenth century. Written by an international group of
scholars working in the fields of visual culture, dress history and
literary criticism, these essays point to the manifold ways in
which gender mediated and was shaped by the consumption and
production of goods (from clothing and artworks to books) and
elucidate the complex, shifting relationships between material and
social practice in the period.
During the late Middle Ages, conflict raged between France and
England as they battled in pursuit of power, the throne and beyond.
It became known as the Hundred Years’ War. Hella S. Haasse’s
epic masterpiece brings this period to vivid life, as the novel’s
infamous characters move across a panoramic tapestry woven together
by criss-crossed bloodlines and intense rivalries. There is the mad
King Charles VI and his heartless Bavarian wife Isabeau; the
King’s dashing brother Louis, Duke of Orléans and his sensitive
Italian Duchess, Valentine. Their son, Charles, inherits a
ferocious feud with the powerful and scheming Duke of Burgundy.
Meanwhile, their bastard son becomes the right arm of Joan of Arc.
Charles of Orléans is the central character of this astonishing
novel, a man caught up in deadly dynastic rivalries who survives
because he is captured by the English at the Battle of Agincourt
and made their prisoner for the next 25 years. In that time he
perfects his craft as a writer and becomes one of the great French
poets of the era. In a narrative that spans decades, we also bear
witness to the reign of three English Kings: Richard II, Henry IV,
and Henry V, the brilliant leader of the English army, who changes
the face of war at Agincourt. First published in the Netherlands in
1949 and never out of print, In a Dark Wood Wandering is a timeless
classic.
In this issue of Clinics in Perinatology, guest editors Drs.
Heather C. Kaplan and Munish Gupta bring their considerable
expertise to the topic of Quality Improvement. In recent years, the
growing use of quality improvement (QI) methods to apply
evidence-based practices to clinical care has resulted in a greater
penetration of QI methods in neonatal intensive care units across
the world and a more sophisticated appreciation of how best to use
them. This issue provides important updates in these areas as well
as looks at the future of QI in perinatology. Contains 15
practice-oriented topics including frameworks for quality
improvement: Lean Six Sigma and the model for improvement in
perinatology; sustaining improvement in perinatology; recent
progress in global health quality improvement in perinatology;
measuring equity for quality improvement in perinatology; pursuing
equity for all mothers and newborns through population health: the
role of perinatal quality collaboratives; and more. Provides
in-depth clinical reviews on quality improvement in perinatology,
offering actionable insights for clinical practice. Presents
the latest information on this timely, focused topic under the
leadership of experienced editors in the field. Authors synthesize
and distill the latest research and practice guidelines to create
clinically significant, topic-based reviews.Â
The Guest Editors have collaborated on a state-of-the-art
presentation of current clinical reviews on Quality in Neonatal
Care. Top experts have prepared articles in the following areas:
Standardizing Practices: How and why to standardize, using
checklists, measuring variation; Health Informatics and Patient
Safety; Using Statistical Process Control to Drive Improvement in
Neonatal Care; Improving Value in Neonatal Intensive Care; Culture
and Context in Quality of Care: Improving Teamwork and Resilience;
Has Quality Improvement Improved Neonatal Outcomes; National
Quality Measures in Perinatal Care; Perinatal and Obstetric Quality
Initiatives; Family Involvement in Quality Improvement; Perinatal
Quality Improvement: A Global Perspective; Delivery Room Care /
Golden Hour; Respiratory Care and Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia;
Reducing Incidence of Necrotizing Enterocolitis; Alarm Safety and
Alarm Fatigue; and Patient Safety: Reducing Unplanned Extubations.
Readers will come away with the clinical information they need
improve quality in the NICU.
Description: Jesus and Menachem places Jesus (Jeshua) in the
historical context of the Roman occupation of Judea Second Temple
period The fictional character of Menachem is introduced to deepen
and clarify the relationship between Jesus, the Pharisees, the
Sadducees, the Zealots, and Rome. In a1949 review in Commentary
magazine, this book is compared favorably to The Nazarene by Sholem
Asch. Menachem fights the Romans at the side of the Zealot
Ben-Necher, killing them as he murmurs "thou shalt not kill." He
loves Jesus, but does not believe in him as Jesus would have him
believe. He is not a Pharisee, and yet cannot be against the
Pharisees. When Pontius Pilate offers the Jews a choice between
Barabbas the "robber" and Jesus the "negator of God," he refuses to
choose, for Barabbas is not a robber but a Zealot, and Jesus not a
negator of God but perhaps a Messiah. Van Praag has painted
Palestine with a simplicity, containing nothing unnecessary or
barbarous, with a palpable mellowness which can be touched,
inhaled, heard on every page. Endorsements: "This is an engaging,
psycho-spiritual story of the life of Yeshua (Jesus). It is set in
the realistic and sensitive narrative of everyday life in Palestine
during late Second Temple Judaism. The dramatic quality of this
work depicts the heightened spiritual awareness of a thoroughly
Jewish Jesus, in keeping with the witness of the New Testament,
while underplaying the hysteria of rampant apocalypticism in many
of the forms of Judaism at that time, evident, for example, in the
Dead Sea Scrolls. The storyline unfolds believably and draws the
reader into page-turning identification with the main characters. .
. .Van Praag's characterization of the main figures in the story is
vivid, and one quickly gets the impression of being exposed to
truth and reality, rather than just a staged drama." --J. Harold
Ellens, author of Honest Faith for Our Time: Truth-Telling about
the Bible, the Creed, and the Church About the Contributor(s):
Siegfried Emanuel van Praag was a prolific Dutch Jewish writer of
over sixty books. The rise of Nazism considerably impacted his life
and provoked a consequent preoccupation with Jewish culture and
identity--specifically Dutch Jewish culture and the newly formed
country of Israel. Lewis C. Kaplan was a Chicago-born historian,
writer, and published translator with a gift for languages
(including Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, and Yiddish) and an interest
in Jewish history and biblical Israel.
