Dutiful, demure and far lovelier than she knows, Princess Zosina, the eldest daughter of the Archduke Ferdinand of Lü,tzelstein, is reluctantly obedient when her father announces that she must marry King Gyó,rgy of neighbouring Dó,rsia in order to create an alliance between the two nations that will defend them against the threat from the German Empire. Arriving in Dó,rsia on a State visit she is greeted by the country',s Regent, a kind, handsome and very considerate Prince. By contrast and much to Zosina',s dismay, her future husband King Gyó,rgy is as wild and disagreeable as his reputation had suggested. It seems that for the sake of her country she must yield to a life without love - until dramatic events supersede even the power of Kings and the hope is rekindled in the young Princess Zosina',s heart that happiness and true love will triumph after all._,

First serialised between 1866 and 1867 by the Newsagents Publishing Company and Edwin J. Brett, The Skeleton Crew, or, Wildfire Ned was among the finest and most popular of the fierce penny dreadful tales which flourished in the mid nineteenth century. Edward Warbeck, the eponymous Ned, pursues a quest to defeat murderous bandits known as the Skeleton Crew, led by the indefatigable Death-wing. Occultist A. E. Waite described this bloodthirsty tale as suggestive of a film produced by the inmates of Bedlam with a storyline in a state of nightmare . The original vivid, and often terrifying, images of the skeleton outlaws are reproduced in this edition._,

In this beautifully written study, Carolyn Lambert explores the ways in which Elizabeth Gaskell challenges the nineteenth-century cultural construct of the home as a domestic sanctuary offering protection from the external world. Gaskell s fictional homes often fail to provide a place of safety

The most thoroughly sensual tale I have read in English for a long time, complained Geraldine Jewsbury in her reader s report on Rhoda Broughton s Not Wisely, but Too Well (1867). Initially serialised in The Dublin University Magazine, the novel had been brought to the attention of the publisher Bentley and Son by its editor, J S Le Fanu, who also happened to be Broughton s uncle. Although Jewsbury convinced Bentley that this novel was unsuitable for decent people , she succeeded only in delaying its publication, as Broughton instead struck a deal with their rival, Tinsley Brothers. While Broughton ultimately triumphed, she was obliged to make extensive revisions, promising to expunge it of coarseness and slanginess, & to rewrite those passages which cannot be toned down . Jewsbury s moral squeamishness was not shared by the reading public, who were thrilled by Broughton s vivid depiction of Kate Chester teetering on the brink of an adulterous liaison with the solipsistic and haughty Dare Stamer. Notwithstanding the extensive editorial changes, Broughton s novel remains a pioneering portrayal of female sexuality, or what Jewsbury called highly coloured & hot blooded passion . Reproducing the text of its first appearance in volume form, this new edition of Not Wisely, but Too Well illuminates the novel s ideological and aesthetic complexity through appendices related to its publication history, revision, and reception. These appendices include a section containing Jewsbury s reader s report and Broughton and Le Fanu s correspondence with the Bentleys, a list of variants between serial and volume formats of the novel, and a selection of contemporary reviews. Together these materials provide a fascinating case study of the coming to print, and reception, of a controversial Victorian text, while also attesting to the challenges Broughton faced in representing female desire in her early fiction. This completely reset critical edition includes

In this paper the authors study a specific type of pottery from the northwest Iberian Peninsula, known as the Wide Horizontal Rim (WHR) vessel. One of its distinctive aspects is precisely the fact that it is exclusively found in this region, which now comprises the Spanish region of Galicia and northern Portugal, as far south as the River Duero. This type of pottery, of which there are only scarce references in literature, has a greater impact than its presence in the archaeological record. For this reason, the authors carried out the first systematic global study for the region, consisting on identifying the WHR pottery type from an extensive catalogue of 76 vessels, some of which are little-known or completely unknown, characterising the pottery as the first step. Four formal groups were identified, only two of which can be referred to as WHR vessels (WHR1 or the &lsquo,classic&rsquo, shape, and WHR2), while the other two groups are referred to as vessels with WHR. They then contextualise the different groups classified in the different types of sites to which they are associated, in three main spheres where WHR vessels are found
