In 1848 an Inspector of the Poor entered a house and found a woman imprisoned in a tiny water closet. She had been there for four months. She was lying in filth, her hair matted, covered in vermin and she had been in a crouching position so long she could not straighten up. Her husband stated she had been 'disorderly'.In Victorian Britain, a married woman had no rights, not to her money, her property, her children or even her body. Wife beating was widespread and wifely chastisement acceptable. Slowly though women began to fight back. Included in this book are some of the most terrible tales of abuse some Victorian women endured.
On December 31st 1857, Dorothy Price was charged with assaulting Jane Fitzgerald of Garndiffaith in a dispute over an oven. The oven was used by numerous people in the neighbourhood, communal ovens were the norm, but the question was on this occasion who had priority of use.....Tough, resilient, hard working, feisty, creative and talented. Often facing the most terrible hardships. With no rights, crippling poverty and only one oven to each row of houses. This book takes a look at the lives of ordinary women in Victorian Wales. This is the land of my mothers .....
Once upon a time there was a princess. She did all the things princesses do, went to school, made friends, fell in love with unobtainable pop stars and dreamt of expensive weddings. Then one day while walking by a pond a frog hopped out and pestered her to kiss it. This she did and it turned into a prince. Marriage followed but she didn't live happily ever after for the prince was cruel and cold-hearted. She lost everything dear to her - friends, money, freedom ... Eventually the princess escaped and her fairy godmother appeared. She taught her that her experiences were valuable and could be used to teach others. Kissing Frogs is a fairytale about domestic abuse, and not for the faint hearted ....
A long time ago when Cwmbran was a scattering of villages and farms, it had thirty-eight public houses. Had you gone on a pub crawl you probably would not have made it . The public house was the hub of the community. It provided income for families, jobs, refreshment for travellers and workers. It was a meeting place for clubs and associations. It was a place for people to meet, play sport, dance, sing and catch up. In the very early days they were places that treated the injured and held inquests on dead bodies With the building of Cwmbran New Town, many of these old pubs were demolished and a lot of history was lost. Today there are just thirteen original inns left. This book takes you on a journey around them all.
In 2009 Carol Ann Duffy became the first female Poet Laureate to much public acclaim. This study looks at Duffy’s work from her early development and involvement with the Liverpool poets in the 1970s, through to her most recent collection. It concentrates on the way in which Duffy develops her use of the dramatic monologue and the love poem and traces her interest in surrealism and a tradition of European modernism. While acknowledging the importance of her popular appeal the book also makes a case for Duffy as a serious and important poet who engages with key issues of gender and identity in innovative and important ways. Deryn Rees-Jones places Duffy at the forefront of a change in poetry in Britain, and sees her as a writer who both heralds and opens up the way for those writing after her.
This is the only monograph to consider the entire thirty-year career, publications, and influence of Britain's first female poet laureate. It outlines her impact on trends in contemporary poetry and establishes what we mean by ‘Duffyesque’ concerns and techniques. Discussions of her writing and activities prove how she has championed the relevance of poetry to all areas of contemporary culture and to the life of every human being. Individual chapters discuss the lyrics of ‘love, loss, and longing’; the socially motivated poems about the 1980s; the female-centred volumes and poems; the relationship between poetry and public life; and poetry and childhood and written for children. The book should whet the appetite of readers who know little of Duffy’s work to find out more, while providing students and scholars with an in-depth analysis of the poems in their contexts. It draws on a wide range of critical works and includes an extensive list of further reading.
