Literature & Literary StudiesMay 2009The works of Richard Edwards
Politics, poetry and performance in sixteenth century England
by Paul Edmondson, Rosalind King, Martin White
The heart of this book is its fully annotated, critical editions of the surviving work of Richard Edwards, one of the most influential poets and dramatists writing in England before Shakespeare. Ros King's extensive introduction, identifying the holes in the documentary evidence that might accommodate this important but now little known writer, rewrites the history of pre-Shakespearean drama, illustrates new approaches to sixteenth-century prosody and to the modernisation of dramatic poetry, and re-evaluates the public role of theatre and poetry during a particularly turbulent period in English history. While it will be essential reading for specialist scholars, it will also be of much wider interest. The introduction is highly accessible which makes it an appropriate text-book for students in a field where few textbooks are available. It will appeal to the current appetite among the reading public for biography, while the play, poems and songs are themselves very appealing. ;

The ArtsMarch 2006Art history
A critical introduction to its methods
by Michael Hatt, Charlotte Klonk
Art History: A critical introduction to its methods provides a lively and stimulating introduction to methodological debates within art history. Offering a lucid account of approaches from Hegel to post-colonialism, the book provides a sense of art history's own history as a discipline from its emergence in the late-eighteenth century to contemporary debates. By explaining the underlying philosophical and political assumptions behind each method, along with clear examples of how these are brought to bear on visual and historical analysis, the authors show that an adherence to a certain method is, in effect, a commitment to a set of beliefs and values. The book makes a strong case for the vitality of the discipline and its methodological centrality to new fields such as visual culture. This book will be of enormous value to undergraduate and graduate students, and also makes its own contributions to ongoing scholarly debates about theory and method. ;

Thriller / suspenseRosalind
by Quentin Cope
Rosalind Escaping an oppressive childhood and an abusive father, the stunningly beautiful Rosalind McKinley leaves the chilly lifeless, economically depressed state of Indiana and travels east. The excitement of the bright lights and the allure of New York’s Manhattan are all the incentive she needs to change the direction of her life. Stripping off the last remnants of her old self, she changes her identity and emerges as Leonora Carrington-Jones. Her new life is complete when a handsome Saudi Arabian Prince lavishes her with attention. He promises her romance in the distant, desert sheikdom of Dubai. Following her heart and ignoring the warnings of her mentor, Madame Durand, she goes with her Sheik into what she visualises will be the accumulation of all her dreams only to find this illusion shattered within days. The new world she imagined is nothing more than a male dominated, corrupt society where women have no worth other than as chattels and sexual objects. Leonora quickly discovers her life is spiralling downwards, finding herself moved from a top suite in a five star hotel to isolation in the degrading, filthy confines of a brothel ruled over by a gross, sadistic North African Madam. With the desperate need to escape from imposed sexual slavery, she meets Susan, a fellow American woman who has the right connections. With new passport for Leonora and airline tickets in hand, they plan a flight back to America and freedom. Leonora’s pulse races as the aircraft door is reopened and police enter to remove her. An inconsolable Susan can simply only watch, helpless as the cruel distressing scene is played out before her. Taken forcibly back to Dubai and a now raging Saudi Prince, Leonora is physically disciplined and with one unthinking, careless, sickening blow it is obvious that the unrestrained violence has gone too far. Susan holds a letter from Leonora in the event that her hopes of escape are dashed; the letter is to be opened and instructions followed. In New York, with the help of Madame Durand, Susan makes a heart breaking discovery about the woman she left behind in Dubai. With a cool head, careful preparation and vengeful determination, she plans to confront the wealthy, diplomatically protected Arab businessman. The ultimate encounter between one frighteningly resolute woman and the influential, sadistic Arab Prince leaves a scene of carnage, as in the final count, only one person can walk away. But will there be more than one survivor … and will one of them be Rosalind’s sister? Set in the world financial depression of the 1970's, this is the sometimes heartbreaking story of two powerfully portrayed characters that will become more and more a part of you with every turn of the page.

PHOTO 51: THE SECRET OF DNA
by Valentina Segré
The story takes place between King’s College London and Cambridge University, from the early 1950s to the present day. London, 1952. Annie, a 14-year-old apprentice dressmaker, finds an envelope on the ground containing some strange photographs. With the help of Mark and other friends, she discovers, through a series of difficulties, adventures, and twists that among those images, there is Photo n. 51, the first photograph of DNA, taken by the scientist Rosalind Franklin. In a noir climate full of emotions, the story is set against the backdrop of academic struggles, fought without exclusions of blows, to secure the paternity of a discovery that revolutionized biology, and that led to James Watson, Francis Crick, and Maurice Wilkins the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1962. This novel is the fruit of the author’s imagination but set in a well-defined historical context and many of the characters and events related to the discovery of DNA structure are real. Rosalind Franklin, James Watson, Francis Crick, Linus Pauling, Maurice Wilkins, Raymond Gosling, and Jennifer Doudna are scientists who existed, as well as photograph number 51 of DNA. DNA has now entered the collective imagination and offers many ideas for highly topical subjects, from genetic manipulation to police investigations. It is curious to know how the discovery of DNA took place in a noir film climate. Segrè’s novel returns its climate, made up of more or less legitimate actions, struggles between scientists, ambitions, low blows, final surprise.

Peace studies & conflict resolutionFebruary 2005Rethinking Truth and Reconciliation Commissions
Lessons from Sierra Leone
by Rosalind Shaw
As the international community reflects on the tragedy in Rwanda ten years ago, the question of how societies should attempt to heal the wounds from past virulent conflicts has recently received renewed interest by members of the press, policy, and NGO community around the globe. How effective are truth and reconciliation commissions? How can they build on grassroots practices of reconciliation, reintegration, and healing to develop a new generation of commissions that are more locally effective in dealing with the aftermath of conflicts? Building on findings from her extensive field research on local practices of reintegration in northern Sierra Leone, and on the district hearings of this country’s TRC, Shaw analyzes the contentious relationship among memory, healing, and reconciliation in these contrasting arenas and critically examines the purported therapeutic and conciliatory effects of TRCs.
