In this collection the multidimensional story of children’s literature in the formative period of the long nineteenth century is illuminated questioned and in some respects rewritten.

Is children’s literature primarily a way of educating children in the principles of reason and morality? A celebration of the Rousseauesque child? A source of pleasure and entertainment? Women both as writers and as nurturers involved at an intimate and daily level with the raising of children recognised early and often very explicitly the multiple capacities of literature to provide entertainment useful information moral education and social training and the occasionally conflicting nature of these functions. This book was originally published as a special issue of Women’s Writing. | Children’s Literature in the Long 19th Century

Sweden Japan and the Long Second World War 1931-1945

We thank Ekman & Co AB and Gadelius Holding Ltd for their kind and generous support making this research available online for free. Lottaz and Ottosson explore the intricate relationship between neutral Sweden and Imperial Japan during the latter’s 15 years of warfare in Asia and in the Pacific. While Sweden’s relationship with European Axis powers took place under the premise of existential security concerns the case of Japan was altogether different. Japan never was a threat to Sweden militarily or economically. Nevertheless Stockholm maintained a close relationship with Tokyo until Japan’s surrender in 1945. This book explores the reasons for that and therefore provides a study on the rationale and the value of neutrality in the Long Second World War. Sweden Japan and the Long Second World War is a valuable resource for scholars of the Second World War and of the history of neutrality. | Sweden Japan and the Long Second World War 1931-1945

Protest in the Long Eighteenth Century

Protest in the Long Eighteenth Century

This edited collection of essays focuses on the topic of protest during the Enlightenment of the long eighteenth century (roughly 1670-1833). Resistance in the eighteenth century was extensive and the act of protest to foment meaningful societal change took on many forms from the circulation of ballads swearing of oaths to riots and work stoppages or the composition of essays novels posters caricatures political cartoons as well as theater and opera. The contributors to this volume examine the causes of protest as well as the broad ways in which common artifacts such as poles trees drums conchs and songs acted as flashpoints for conflict and vehicles of protest. Rather than approaching the topic with strict geographical temporal and structural limitations this book focuses on the time period from an international perspective and an interdisciplinary scope. Because of its wide scope this book is an important contribution to the subject that will be of interest to both faculty and students of the history of protest resistance and the changes that these forces bring as it also reminds us that the protests of today are rooted in historical resistances of the past. | Protest in the Long Eighteenth Century

Castration Impotence and Emasculation in the Long Eighteenth Century

Castration Impotence and Emasculation in the Long Eighteenth Century

This essay collection examines one of the most fearsome fascinating and hotly-discussed topics of the long eighteenth century: masculinity compromised. During this timespan there was hardly a literary or artistic genre that did not feature unmanning regularly and prominently: from harrowing tales of castrations in medical treatises to emasculated husbands in stage comedies to sympathetic and powerful eunuchs in prose fiction to glorious operatic performances by castrati in Italy to humorous depictions in caricature and satirical paintings to fearsome descriptions of Eastern eunuchs in travel narratives to foolish and impotent old men who became a mainstay in drama. Not only does this unprecedented study of unmanning (in all of its varied forms) illustrate the sheer prevalence of a trope that featured prominently across literary and artistic genres but it also demonstrates the ways diminished masculinity reflected some of the most strongly-held anxieties interests and values of eighteenth-century Britons. | Castration Impotence and Emasculation in the Long Eighteenth Century

Mei Niang’s Long-Lost First Writings Young Lady’s Collection

Mei Niang’s Long-Lost First Writings Young Lady’s Collection

In 1944 the novel Xie (Crabs) by Mei Niang (1916-2013) was honored with the Japanese Empire’s highest literary award Novel of the Year. Then at the peak of her popularity Mei Niang published in Japanese-owned Chinese-language journals and newspapers in the Japanese puppet state of Manchukuo (1932-1945) Japan and north China. Contemporaries lauded her writings especially for introducing liberalism to Manchuria’s literary world. In Maoist China however Mei Niang was condemned as a traitor and a Rightist with her life and career torn to shreds until her formal vindication in the late 1970s. In 1997 Mei Niang was named one of Modern China's 100 Writers. The collection that is translated in this volume Xiaojie ji (Young lady’s collection) was published in 1936 when she was 19 years old. Long thought forever lost in the violence of China’s civil war and Maoist strife the collection was only re-discovered in 2019. This is the first book-length English-language translation of the work of this high-profile prolific New Woman writer from Northeast China. Mei Niang’s Long-Lost First Writings will appeal to those interested in Chinese literature the Japanese Empire historic fiction history women’s/gender history and students in undergraduate and graduate level courses. To date English-language volumes of translated Chinese literature have rarely focused on Manchukuo’s Chinese writers or centered on those who left the puppet state by1935. This volume fills an important historical lacuna – a teenaged Chinese woman’s views of life and literature in Japanese-occupied Manchuria. | Mei Niang’s Long-Lost First Writings Young Lady’s Collection
