This book is an exploration of the viability of applying the post
structuralist theory of intertextuality to early modern texts. It
suggests that a return to a more theorised understanding of
intertextuality, as that outlined by Julia Kristeva and Roland
Barthes, is more productive than an interpretation which merely
identifies 'source' texts. The book analyses several key early
modern texts through this lens, arguing that the period's conscious
focus on and prioritisation of the creative imitation of classical
and contemporary European texts makes it a particularly fertile era
for intertextual reading. This analysis includes discussion of
early modern creative writers' utilisation of classical mythology,
allegory, folklore, parody, and satire, in works by William
Shakespeare, Sir Francis Bacon, John Milton, George Peele, Thomas
Lodge, Christopher Marlowe, Francis Beaumont, and Ben Jonson, and
foregrounds how meaning is created and conveyed by the interplay of
texts and the movement between narrative systems. This book will be
of interest to undergraduate and postgraduate students of early
modern literature, as well as early modern scholars.

Mistress of everything examines how indigenous people across
Britain's settler colonies engaged with Queen Victoria in their
lives and predicaments, incorporated her into their political
repertoires, and implicated her as they sought redress for the
effects of imperial expansion during her long reign. It draws
together empirically rich studies from Canada, Australia, New
Zealand and Southern Africa, to provide scope for comparative and
transnational analysis. The book includes chapters on a Maori visit
to Queen Victoria in 1863, meetings between African leaders and the
Queen's son Prince Alfred in 1860, gift-giving in the Queen's name
on colonial frontiers in Canada and Australia, and Maori women's
references to Queen Victoria in support of their own chiefly status
and rights. The collection offers an innovative approach to
interpreting and including indigenous perspectives within broader
histories of British imperialism and settler colonialism. -- .

Many of Canada's most famous suffragists lived and campaigned in
the Prairie provinces, which led the way in granting women the
right to vote and hold office. In Ours by Every Law of Right and
Justice, Sarah Carter challenges the myth that grateful male
legislators simply handed women the vote when it was asked for.
Settler suffragists worked long and hard to overcome obstacles and
persuade doubters. But even as they petitioned for the vote for
their sisters, they often approved of that same right being denied
to "foreigners" and Indigenous peoples. By situating the
suffragists' struggle in the colonial history of Prairie Canada,
this powerful and passionate book shows that the right to vote
meant different things to different people.

In the spring of 1885, the names Theresa Delaney and Theresa
Gowanlock captured the attention and imagination not only of
Canadian, but also of American and overseas readers. After their
husbands were killed by Plains Cree, the two women were among
eighty hostages held for two months. During their captivity,
horrendous rumours circulated as to the indignities they were
suffering; Delaney and Gowanlock emerged from their ordeal safely,
however, to declare that none of the rumours were true, that they
had been treated well under the circumstances, and that they had
been zealously protected by several Metis families. This was not
the central message advanced in the published account, however,
which was released five months later. In Two Months in the Camp of
Big Bear, the accounts of the women were made to conform to the
literary conventions of the Indian captivity narrative,
capitalizing upon existing sets of images, symbols, and
representations. A complicated story was simplified, heroes and
villains were created, and this imaginative narrative became part
of the formidable written and visual legacy of the events of 1885
that is narrow and one-sided.
Sarah Carter provides a detailed description of marriage as a
diverse social institution in nineteenth-century Western Canada,
and the subsequent ascendancy of Christian, lifelong, heterosexual,
monogamous marriage as an instrument to implement dominant
British-Canadian values. It took work to impose the monogamous
model of marriage as the region was home to a varied population of
Aboriginal people and newcomers such as the Mormons, each of whom
had their own definitions of marriage, including polygamy and
flexible attitudes toward divorce. The work concludes with an
explanation of the negative social consequences for women,
particularly Aboriginal women, that arose as a result of the
imposition of monogamous marriage. "Of an immense amount of new and
pathbreaking research on Native people over the past 20 years, this
work stands out." --Sidney L. Harring, Professor of Law at City
University of New York and author of White Man's Law: Native People
in Nineteenth-Century Canadian Jurisprudence
