Content: This book explores the lives of two writers, one born in Germany (Viereck) and one born in England (Crowley), who were both influenced by decadent French writers such as Baudelaire and Mirbeau and English poets such as Swinburne and Wilde. They both wrote decadent poetry early in their careers before becoming known in literary circles as two of the most wicked writers in America (Viereck) and the world (Crowley). By their twenties, their reputations as rebels against the restrictive and stifled cultures they inhabited were firmly established. Both men enjoyed breaking with the status quo by writing poetry, short stories, and plays with exotic scenes that celebrated the beauty of the female body. Both writers were captivated by the femme fatale and her deleterious effect on her male victims, robbing them of their opportunity for transcendence into a spiritual realm. Their work, especially their love poetry, their science fiction works dealing with vampires, and articles and essays concerning the onset of the Great War are still very readable today.What is also intriguing is that, in 1915, both men were working together in New York, where Viereck was the editor of two pro-German magazines, The Fatherland and The International. Searching for an editorial position at that time, Crowley learned about an opening and was hired by Viereck. There is speculation that Crowley's "discovery" of the job opening for these pro-German magazines was a clever plan on the part of the British secret service to place one of their agents inside the German spy network in America, of which Viereck was a key player. Propaganda, intrigue, cover-ups, and the American declaration of war on Germany all make this alliance between the two very decadent poets, and perhaps spies or even double agents, worth knowing more about.

Content: "W. H. Auden is a giant of twentieth-century English poetry whose writings demonstrate a sustained engagement with the times in which he lived. But how did the century's shifting cultural terrain affect him and his work? Written by distinguished poets and scholars, these brief but authoritative essays offer a varied set of coordinates by which to chart Auden's continuously evolving career, examining key aspects of his environmental, cultural, political and creative contexts. Reaching beyond mere biography, these essays present Auden as the product of ongoing negotiations between himself, his time and posterity, exploring the enduring power of his poetry to unsettle and provoke. The collection will prove valuable for scholars, researchers and students of English literature, cultural studies and creative writing"--

Series Statement: Nineteenth Century Collections Online: Children's Literature and Childhood

Content: During the nineteenth century, literacy flourished throughout the Western world. In the second half of the century, with shorter working hours for the working class and the push for compulsory education of children, a mass readership emerged as men, women, and children with newfound leisure time devoured newspapers, magazines, and novels. As greater importance was placed on education, opportunities slowly expanded for lower-income children and those living in rural areas. This societal change was clearly a boon for the publishing industry. The bulk of this collection is made up of English-language titles, many written for pedagogical purposes. These range from addresses made to college students, such as Liberal Education: Its Objects and Methods; An Address Delivered at the Opening of Bryn Mawr College, Pennsylvania, to obscure pamphlets like Greedy Ben, the Naughty Boy Who Wanted Cherries and Who Got None, credited to an author simply named "Ben." Feminists will be happy to see Mary Wollstonecraft's late-eighteenth-century anthology titled The Female Reader; or, Miscellaneous Pieces in Prose and Verse; Selected from the Best Writers, and Disposed under Proper Heads; for the Improvement of Young Women To Which Is Prefixed a Preface, Containing Some Hints on Female Education-- a book significantly ahead of its time considering that the education of girls, regardless of social rank, was secondary to the education of boys for the duration of the nineteenth century. The collection also includes examples of leisure books written for children, such as Frances Hodgson Burnett's Little Lord Fauntleroy, originally published as a serial novel in St. Nicholas Magazine between November 1885 and October 1886, as well as folk and fairy tales. French, German, and Russian works are also represented

Content: International Exposure demonstrates the wealth of desires woven into the fabric of European history: desires about empire and nation, about self and other, about plenty and dearth. By documenting the diverse meanings of pornography, senior scholars from across disciplines show the ways that sexuality became central to the individual, to the nation, and to the transnational character of modern society. The ten essays in the volume engage a rich array of topics, including obscenity in the German states, censorship in France’s Third Republic, “she-male” internet porn, the rise of incestuous longings in England, the place of the Hungarian video revolution in the global market, and the politics of pornography in Russia. Taken together, the essays illustrate the latest approaches to content, readership, form, and delivery in modern European pornography. A substantial discussion of the broad history and state of the field complements the ten in-depth case studies that examine a wide range of sources from literature to magazines, video to the internet. By tackling the highbrow and lowdown of the pornographic form, this volume lays the groundwork for the next surge of studies in the field.
