Women and Empire, 1750-1939: Primary Sources on Gender and
Anglo-Imperialism functions to extend significantly the range of
the History of Feminism series (co-published by Routledge and
Edition Synapse), bringing together the histories of British and
American women's emancipation, represented in earlier sets, into
juxtaposition with histories produced by different kinds of
imperial and colonial governments. The alignment of writings from a
range of Anglo-imperial contexts reveals the overlapping histories
and problems, while foregrounding cultural specificities and
contextual inflections of imperialism. The volumes focus on
countries, regions, or continents formerly colonized (in part) by
Britain: Volume I: Australia Volume II: New Zealand Volume III:
Africa Volume IV: India Volume V: Canada Perhaps the most novel
aspect of this collection is its capacity to highlight the common
aspects of the functions of empire in their impact on women and
their production of gender, and conversely, to demonstrate the
actual specificity of particular regional manifestations.
Concerning questions of power, gender, class and race, this new
Routledge-Edition Synapse Major Work will be of particular interest
to scholars and students of imperialism, colonization, women's
history, and women's writing.
Assembles a range of women's letters from the former British
Empire. These letters 'written home' are not only historical
sources; they are also representations of the state of the Empire
in far-off lands sent home to Britain and, occasionally, other
centres established as 'home'.

Salomania and the Representation of Race and Gender in Modern
Erotic Dance situates the 1908 dance craze, which The New York
Times called “Salomania,” as a crucial event and a turning
point in the history of the modern business of erotic dance.
Framing Salomania with reference to imperial ideologies of
motherhood and race, it works toward better understanding the
increasing value of the display of the undressed female body in the
19th and early 20th centuries.This study turns critical attention
to cultures of maternity in the late 19th century, primarily with
reference to the ways in which women are defined in relation to
their genitals as patriarchal property and space and are valued
according to reproduction as their primary labour. Erotic dance as
it takes shape in the modern representation of Salome insists both
that the mother is and is not visible in the body of the dancer, a
contradiction this study characterizes as reproductive fetishism.
Looking at a range of media, the study traces the modern figure of
Salome through visual art, writing, early psychoanalysis and dance,
from "hootchie kootch" to the performances dancer Maud Allan called
“mimeo-dramatic” to mid-20th-century North American films such
as Billy Wilder's Sunset Boulevard and Charles Lamont's Salome,
Where She Danced to the 21st-century HBO series The Sopranos.
L.M. Montgomery's Anne of Green Gables is one of the best-known and
most enduringly popular novels of the twentieth century. First
published in 1908, it has never been out of print, and it
continues, nearly a century after its first appearance, to appeal
to new readers in many locations around the world. Anne of Green
Gables is the story of how a little girl, adopted from an orphan
asylum by a brother and sister seeking a boy to help them on their
Prince Edward Island farm, grows to responsible young adulthood
and, as she grows, brings light and life to her adoptive home.
Although it is, as Montgomery described it in her journal, a
"simple little tale," it has nonetheless generated not only an
international readership but, more recently, an increasing critical
interest that focuses on the text's engagement with social and
political issues, its relation to Montgomery's life and her other
writing, and its circulation as a popular cultural commodity in
Canada and elsewhere. This Broadview Edition is based on the first
edition of Anne of Green Gables. It includes a critical
introduction and a fascinating selection of contemporary documents,
including contemporary reviews of the novel, other writings by L.M.
Montgomery (stories, writings on gender and on writing), and
excerpts from the "Pansy" books by Isabella Macdonald Alden.
"Notwithstanding their differing approaches-digital, archival,
historical, iterative, critical, creative, reflective-the essays
gathered here articulate new ways of seeing, investigating, and
apprehending literature and culture." - From the Preface This
collection of essays enriches digital humanities research by
examining various Canadian cultural works and the advances in
technologies that facilitate these interdisciplinary
collaborations. Fourteen essays-eleven in English and three in
French-survey the helix of place and space. Contributors to Part I
chart new archival and storytelling methodologies, while those in
Part II venture forth to explore specific cultural and literary
texts. Cultural Mapping and the Digital Sphere will serve as an
indispensable road map for researchers and those interested in the
digital humanities, women's writing, and Canadian culture and
literature. Contributors: Jeffery Antoniuk, Susan Brown, Constance
