Robert Louis Stevenson and Joseph Conrad

Robert Louis Stevenson and Joseph Conrad

Writers of Transition

Edited by Linda Dryden, Stephen Arata and Eric Massie

Price: $55.00

ISBN: 9780896726536

Pub Date: June 2009

The first book-length study to specifically examine the many intersections in the works of Robert Louis Stevenson and Joseph Conrad, this volume extends the focus of current debate beyond the writers’ South Seas literature. Considering Stevenson and Conrad’s shared literary history and experience of Victorian London, it examines their convergence of styles in the emergent modernism of the fin de siècle, their romance and adventure modes, their fictions of duality, and their exploration of the human psyche. Moreover, the book recuperates Stevenson’s reputation as a serious writer, not only as Conrad’s antecedent and influence but as a writer equally worthy of study in these shared modes.

Napoleon and the Woman Question

Napoleon and the Woman Question

Discourses of the Other Sex in French Education, Medicine, and Medical Law, 1799-1815

by June K. Burton

Foreword by Susan Conner

Price: $40.00

ISBN: 9780896725591

Pub Date: January 2007

Women under the Napoleonic regime have been largely neglected by historians. Through recovered discourses and other primary sources, in Napoleon and the Woman Question June K. Burton uncovers the strategies that Napoleonic women employed to control their lives. She begins with an analysis of Napoleon’s personal attitudes about the nature of women. He did not view them as weak vessels, but rather as industrious and strong, with an important role: as wives and mothers. She discusses France’s first national system of midwifery education, women’s issues in Napoleonic textbooks, the infanticide controversy, and the prevailing view of the relationship between the physical and the moral in feminine bodies and minds. In addition, she explores women’s medicine and surgery of the time with narratives from two patients, Adrienne Noailles Lafayette and Francis Burney d’Arblay. By clarifying the tensions and ambiguities of the Napoleonic period, Burton provides a nuanced approach to late-eighteenth-century and...
