After discussing assessments of Brookner and attempts to relate her
to various classics and contemporaries, the author combines
insights from recent narrative theory with analyses of nine novels.
Moving from the first novels, and their close relations to French
literary models, he goes on to trace the increased sophistication
of "Hotel du Lac" and the technical innovations of its successors.
An Introduction to Eighteenth-Century Fiction deals with fiction of the "long 18th century", using a clearly defined pool of texts and corpus of writers. The first part of the study discusses the broader issues of definitions and approaches, genre and gender, and canon formation; the second part, after a more general discussion of Richardson and Fielding, offers a series of five paired readings, juxtaposing texts by Behn and Defoe, Sterne and Smollett, Lennox and Burney, Radcliffe and Godwin and Austen.
Developing microscale chemistry experiments, using small quantities
of chemicals and simple equipment, has been a recent initiative in
the UK. Microscale chemistry experiments have several advantages
over conventional experiments: They use small quantities of
chemicals and simple equipment which reduces costs; The disposal of
chemicals is easier due to the small quantities; Safety hazards are
often reduced and many experiments can be done quickly; Using
plastic apparatus means glassware breakages are minimised;
Practical work is possible outside a laboratory. Microscale
Chemistry is a book of such experiments designed for use in schools
and colleges, and the ideas behind the experiments in it come from
many sources, including chemistry teachers from all around the
world. Current trends indicate that with the likelihood of further
environmental legislation, the need for microscale chemistry
teaching techniques and experiments is likely to grow. This book
should serve as a guide in this process.

The Fiction of Anita Brookner is the first full-length study of
this controversial contemporary writer. After discussing critical
assessments of Brookner, and attempts to relate her to various
classics and contemporaries, Dr Skinner skilfully combines insights
from recent narrative theory with close analyses of nine novels.
Moving from the first novels, and their close relations to French
literary models, he goes on to trace the increased sophistication
of Hotel du Lac and the technical innovations of its successors.
Though a familiar name, little was known about the English mystic
Margery Kempe (c. 1373-c. 1440) for hundreds of years except that
she had an association with the great Julian of Norwich. This all
changed in 1934 with the discovery of "The Book of Margery Kempe"
in a library where it had lain hidden for four hundred years.
Finding Margery's own story was important not just because of the
light it shed on her life, but it also turned out to be the first
known autobiography in the English language. Even more intriguing
to the experts of the day, this unique document was written by a
woman.
But if anyone had expected to find her anything like her cloistered
contemporary, Julian, they were in for something of a surprise. Far
from being a typical holy woman, Margery Kempe was married and
mother of fourteen children. Moreover, she had been a woman of
substance, even running a large brewery for a time. After turning
to religion, she traveled thousands of miles around the known world
on pilgrimages to distant lands.
Beyond the circumstances of her life, what's most compelling about
the text is the inner Margery that emerges. Her account of
spiritual awakening, far from being a blissful episode is instead
full of conflict and recrimination. What good was this new way of
life if it caused her such trouble? Was this really the only way to
lead a holy life? Margery remained unsure of the answers. But her
patience in her struggle is a wonder to behold, and an example for
us today.
