Jill Gebhart Campbell's passion for poetry, writing, and drawing
prompted her to write this book, utilizing these creative genres,
in order to portray her bipolar illness in a more personal way. It
is also a reflection of how the devastating effects of bipolar
disorder shaped her life. The author's story is about a young
woman's odyssey of triumph and sorrow and her journey to find
herself again. Before her diagnosis, she was a beautiful,
compassionate young woman who excelled in both athletics and
academics. After her diagnosis she gained more than 120 pounds-due
to health issues, sick children, psychiatric hospitalizations, and
unsuitable medications. She became depressed, self-consumed, and
bitter. The debilitating depression and hauntingly real
hallucinations forever impacted the way she sees life and how life
sees her. Her faith in God proved to be her ultimate anchor through
her heart-wrenching circumstances. After admission to solitary
confinement, due to hallucinations, she experienced an even more
profound depression. "The white walls, barred windows, cold cement
floors, and white bedding only exacerbated my feelings of isolation
and left me swirling downward in an even deeper depression."
However, the Lord's unconditional love has allowed her to walk on
the bright side once again. She overcame all the odds to become the
woman she longed to be. She has attained the serenity one reaches
when they've been to the very end, beyond hope, yet made it back.
The author breaks with old critical commonplaces that contrast
Fielding's "masculinity" with Samuel Richardson's "feminine"
sensibilities. She argues that a preoccupation with the tenuousness
of gendered identity appears throughout Fielding's writings, and
that Fielding shared that preoccupation with his contemporaries.

Where are the women in Canada's international history? Breaking
Barriers, Shaping Worlds gathers scholars to explore the role of
women in twentieth-century Canadian international affairs. They

for change as anti-war, anti-nuclear, or Indigenous rights
activists; and women working as diplomatic spouses or as diplomats
themselves. This lively, wide-ranging collection reveals the vital
contribution of women to the search for global order that has been
a hallmark of Canada's international history.

The first book-length study of Horace Walpole’s scandalous The
Mysterious Mother, including critical essays, an abridged script,
and a facsimile edition  Horace Walpole’s five-act tragedy
The Mysterious Mother (1768), a sensational tale of incest and
intrigue, was initially circulated only among the author’s
friends. Walpole never permitted it to be performed during his
lifetime except as a private theatrical. He described his play as a
“delicious entertainment for the closet” and claimed that he
“did not think it would do for the stage.” Yet the essays in
this volume trace a history of private readings, amateur
theatricals, and even early public performances, demonstrating that
the play was read and performed more than Walpole’s protests
suggest. Exploring a wide variety of topics—including the
play’s crypto-Catholicism, its treatments of incest, guilt,
motherhood, orphans, and scientific spectacle, and the complex
relations between print and performance—the essays demonstrate
the rich relevance of The Mysterious Mother to current critical
discussions. Â The volume includes the proceedings of a
mini-conference hosted at Yale University in 2018 on the occasion
of a staged reading of the play. Also included are the director’s
reflections, an abridged script, a facsimile of Walpole’s own
copy of the full-length play, and reproductions of the
illustrations he commissioned from Lady Diana Beauclerk.
