This volume will provide students with an introduction to the
poetry and life of Elizabeth Barrett Browning, one of the most
popular poets of her day in Britain and America and who has become
one of the great icons of Victorianism for the modern age. The
authors present a biographical survey, study of her poetry, its
critical reception and an assessment of her influence on later
poets. This book also examines the complex 'myths' which are
associated with Elizabeth Barrett Browning and offers re-readings
of her life and work, particularly in dispelling the myth of the
ailing invalid poet-recluse and instead showing her to be one of
the great intellectuals of her day, immersed in European history
and politics from a very early age. The book situates Browning
within broader historical,political and cultural contexts than have
yet been examined enabling a better understanding of her poetry and
paints the portrait of a fine and innovative poet, an intellectual
and an astute political thinker.

prejudice to be bold and forthright, and an electrifying range of
famous authors such as Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson and Oscar
Wilde, these dynamic voices paved the way for decades to come.
Together, they offer a vivid archive of queer identity to be
celebrated, discovered and treasured.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning was one of the most highly-regarded poets of the Victorian age, her stature within literary circles being so great that in 1850 she was seriously considered for the newly-vacated post of Poet Laureate. Yet since her death in 1861 her popularity declined and her work remains relatively neglected with regards to critical analysis. This volume provides an introduction to the poetry and life of Elizabeth Barrett Browning through a biographical survey, study of her poetry, its critical reception and an assessment of her influence on later poets. The authors also examine the complex 'myths' which are associated with her and offer re-readings of her life and work. The book situates Elizabeth Barrett Browning within a broader historical, political and cultural context than has been achieved in other critical studies enabling a better understanding of her poetry.

Yeasts and filamentous fungi need to cope with stress, whether
growing in the laboratory or in the natural environment, whether
victims or offenders in interactions with other organisms. These
considerations are discussed in this volume that coveres stress in
the broad sense, within the context of mycology.
* Includes discussions of the stresses associated with
organism-organism interactions and stress under controlled
conditions
* Anthropogenic stress towards fungi in the environment and the
impacts that such stressors may have on different organisms and
communities in the wild are explained
* Encompasses a breadth of information from the bigger picture of
stress effects on fungi in their natural habitats, to the recent
advances in underlying molecular-level understanding
Sex, Time and Place extensively widens the scope of what we might
mean by 'queer London studies'. Incorporating multidisciplinary
perspectives - including social history, cultural geography, visual
culture, literary representation, ethnography and social studies -
this collection asks new questions, widens debates and opens new
subject terrain. Featuring essays from an international range of
established scholars and emergent voices, the collection is a
timely contribution to this growing field. Its essays cover topics
such as activist and radical communities and groups, AIDS and the
city, art and literature, digital archives and technology, drag and
performativity, lesbian Londons, notions of bohemianism and
deviancy, sex reform and research and queer Black history. Going
further than the existing literature on Queer London which focuses
principally on the experiences of white gay men in a limited time
frame, Sex, Time and Place reflects the current state of this
growing and important field of study. It will be of great value to
scholars, students and general readers who have an interest in
queer history, London studies, cultural geography, visual cultures
and literary criticism.
Clearly suggesting the influence of poets such as Robert Browning,
Emily Bronte and Christina Rossetti, and paralleling the techniques
of more modern poets such as Thomas Hardy, Charlotte Mew and D.H.
Lawrence, the poems of Mary Coleridge (1861-1907) have much to tell
us about the shifting nature of poetry and poetics in the Victorian
fin-de-siecle and early twentieth century and they certainly
deserve to be more widely known than they currently are. This is
the first single volume of Mary Coleridge's poetry to be published
for over fifty years. It includes ninety of her most compelling
pieces along with explanatory notes and a substantial introduction
which places the poems in their cultural and intellectual contexts.

The Return of the Native was a radical departure for Thomas Hardy,
ushering in his tragic literary vision of the world. Though set in
a small space (Egdon Heath in the fictional county of Wessex) and
short time (the main action spans a year and a day), the novel
addresses the broad social and intellectual upheavals of the
Victorian age. Much of this turmoil is embodied in the character of
Eustacia Vye, the novel's wilful female protagonist. A complex,
independent young woman, Eustacia is a sympathetic but ultimately
tragic figure, the epitome of what the narrator calls the
"irrepressible New." The appendices to this Broadview edition place
the novel in the context of Hardy's career and the scientific and
social ideas of the time. Documents include contemporary reviews,
related writings by Hardy, and materials on biology, geology, and
the "Woman Question." Illustrations from the original serialization
in Belgravia magazine and Hardy's performance text of the mummers'
play are also included.
