Wagering is all the rage in late Victorian England. Some bets are innocent, like the color of dress a lady will wear to a ball. Other wagers are much more nefarious. Oscar Wilde bets that actress Olivia Snow can fool a group of country bumpkins into believing she is Genevieve Lamb, the wealthy beauty of the recent Season. The weekend will prove a challenge for the old-fashioned actress and Genevieve's handsome and old-fashioned brother Philip who vows to keep the actress safe. To the surprise of Olivia and Philip, the manor is filled with all sorts of ridiculous and eccentric characters, as well as one murderous criminal. When Olivia is accused of murder, she will need to use all her acting skills to go in disguise to discover the true murderer. While Olivia pretends to be Genevieve in the country, Genevieve pretends to be Olivia in the city--a wager she may regret making. Genevieve, Oscar Wilde, and Lily, Olivia's clever young friend, go out on the town, a decision that will have them wishing they'd stayed at home and played cribbage.These two charades take unexpected turns during a wild weekend of kidnapping, cucumber sandwiches, bee stings, and love. This Oscar Wilde-esque romance-mystery-comedy will keep you guessing--and craving teacake.

An engrossing, often disturbing, look into the inner life of a paranoid schizophrenic, The Voices of Robby Wilde has greatly advanced the popular understanding of mental illness since its first publication in 1987. Robby Wilde heard his first "voice" when he was nine years old—a man's voice clearly saying, "I've got you!" With increasing frequency and intensity, such hostile uttering would vex Wilde for the rest of his life, distorting his behavior and shattering his self-esteem.Some ten years before his death at age fifty-three, Wilde asked his friend Elizabeth Kytle to write about his affliction. Ranging in time from Wilde's youth in rural North Carolina to his impoverished last days in Columbus, Ohio, Kytle chronicles the slow unraveling and final breakdown of a life. Different views of Wilde, his illness, and his struggle to live and work as a "normal" person come forth in a series of twice-told tales; accounts based on Wilde's own recollections alternate with sometimes vastly differing reports of the same incidents by friends, family members, coworkers, and others who knew and cared about him.Wilde's story, heightened by his longing to be understood and his acute grasp of his own situation, will challenge readers to new levels of respect and compassion for the mentally ill.

Door of the Wilderness: The Greek, Coptic, and Copto-Arabic Sayings of St. Antony of Egypt
Saint Antony of Egypt (c. 251–356), often called “the father of monasticism,” has numerous representations: the Antony of the Life of Antony and the Letters, but also the Antony of around 120 sayings or apophthegmata. This volume presents fresh English translations of the Greek and Coptic sayings, as well as the first English translation of the Copto-Arabic sayings that are based on unpublished manuscripts. The volume thus opens the door to a richer image of Saint Antony’s many identities across various languages and traditions.

This volume of essays frames a comparative history of landscape painting in Australia and the United States through recent considerations of the Anthropocene, arguing that careful and deep analysis of specific nineteenth-century artworks reveals issues of environmental concern both past and present. Carefully drawn from two symposia held at the Art Gallery of Western Australia in Perth in 2016 and at the Ian Potter Museum of Art, University of Melbourne the following year, the volume includes eight essays and a conversation between artists. Colonization, Wilderness, and Spaces Between brings together the fresh insights of scholars and artists from Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States and provides a resource for thinking critically about the historical, imperial, and environmental information that can be gleaned from looking closely at landscape paintings.

World War II. Tea Leaf Annie follows one young girl's memories of the 1940's. It was a different time - a red, white and blue era where citizens pulled together to support the United States of America. Young men went to war, many to become honored by a gold star on a banner in the window of a home of a family with broken hearts. The author relates her memories of the upheaval in her own home and her everyday life, prewar and post war. It is the story of thousands of children no matter where they fell geographically. These recollections were formed in two sections of a small Massachusetts town, North and West Chelmsford, but were much the same across the country. Her father did not have to go due to his age, he was married and had a child. But he was firm about his need to leave and with his experience at the local lumber company joined a Naval Construction Battalion, the CB's. He left behind a bewildered little girl, "Why Daddy, Why?"
