Jane Austen is a formative influence on how we think about "England" and "Englishness," about class, ideology and gender issues. But critical convoy for "Jane," as she is patronizingly styled, aligns her with the conservative views her texts entertain but don't finally embrace. In fact, as Edward Neill points out in this new study, it is possible to show that "Tory Jane" is largely an illusion and that much traditional critical effort has been fundamentally misdirected. This exhilarating book seeks to liberate the reading of Jane Austen by offering a very different critical inflection from those of traditional critical appropriations.
In the early 1970s general practitioners were well aware that they were being asked to deal not only with physical illness in their patients but also with the stresses relating to social and emotional problems. Increasingly often they were working together with health visitors and social workers in attempting to respond more effectively to these demands. Originally published in 1972, this study describes the attachment of a social worker to a group general medical practice in London, indicating why, for all social groups, the general practice is an appropriate point at which psychosocial problems may be identified and treated. The authors describe the nature and range of patients’ problems that come to light in the consulting room; how patients present their problems to the social worker; and the kind of help the social worker is able to offer. They explore the extent to which the general practice setting provides opportunities for preventive therapy and further describe how social work in general practice can most effectively be related to existing social services in the community, particularly to the reorganised personal social services. Their findings are supported throughout by illuminating case studies. The book also discusses the integration of the social worker into the general practice team, the problems that have to be solved and the mutual enlightenment that results. This emerges as an extremely encouraging and instructive experiment, which will immediately interest social service departments and social workers, doctors and nurses, both students and those in practice. The wide spectrum of social problems encountered and dealt with by the social worker in a general practice make it a particularly stimulating account.

With hints on "physical well being," including curing women's headaches and posture, Miss Neill's 1889 work is much more than a basic cookbook. Dedicated to separating the ideas of healthful food from wealth, this work provides hints and recipes for wholesome meals created on limited means. Also included is advice on care of the house and members of the household, creating a useful reference for anyone managing a home.
