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.
Compelled to Act showcases fresh historical perspectives on the
diversity of women's contributions to social and political change
in prairie Canada in the 20th century, including but looking beyond
the era of suffrage activism. In our current time of revitalized
activism against racism, colonialism, violence, and misogyny, this
volume reminds us of the myriad ways women have challenged and
confronted injustices and inequalities. The women and their
activities shared in Compelled to Act are diverse in time, place,
and purpose, but there are some common threads. In their attempts
to correct wrongs, achieve just solutions, and create change, women
experienced multiple sites of resistance, both formal and informal.
The acts of speaking out, of organizing, of picketing and
protesting were characterized as unnatural for women, as violations
of gender and societal norms, and as dangerous to the state and to
family stability. As these accounts demonstrate, women felt
compelled to respond to women's needs, to challenges to family
security, both health and economic, and to the need for community.
They reacted with the resources at hand, and beyond, to support
effective action, joining the ranks of women all over the world
seeking political and social agency to create a society more
responsive to the needs of women and their children.

Amelia McLean Paget was born in 1867 at Fort Simpson, in what is
now the Northwest Territories. Her father, William McLean, was a
Scot involved in the fur trade and her mother, Helen Murray,
belonged to an illustrious Metis family which had been active in
the fur trade for generations. Amelia's life spanned some of the
most tumultuous events in the West, including the disappearance of
the buffalo, the North-West Resistance, and the establishment of
the reserve system. She had a more sympathetic appreciation of
Aboriginal culture than is found in many of her contemporaries. In
"People of the Plains" (first published in 1909), she records her
observations of the customs, beliefs, and lifestyles of the Plains
Cree and Saulteaux among whom she lived. She died in Ottawa in
1922.
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
