The nineteenth century brought sweeping changes, from industrialization to social reform movements, yet queerness remained taboo. While societal norms often dictated secrecy, a brave subculture of writers, artists, and thinkers explored themes of gender, sexuality, and identity. Ranging from Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu's horror novella Carmilla, which pioneered the lesbian vampire trope, to Edward Carpenter's advocacy for gay rights in Homogenic Love and Its Place in a Free Society, this Dover original anthology of essays, fiction, and poetry presents literary insights into the ways six authors represented the queer community, often at significant personal risk. Other selections include Calamus by Walt Whitman, Cecil Dreeme by Theodore Winthrop, An Italian Garden: A Book of Songs by Agnes Mary Frances Robinson, and The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde. Together, these works offer valuable context for contemporary discussions fundamental to the early emancipation of homosexual rights.

This first-ever anthology of poetry by First Ladies features captivating poems by fifteen of these remarkable women. Among the highlights are Louisa Adams's verse about the passing of John Adams and Thomas Jefferson on the same day, Mary Todd Lincoln's satire that nearly led to her husband's death in a duel, sonnets by Dolley Madison, valentines by Eleanor Roosevelt and Michelle Obama, and Lou Hoover compares "Presidents' Wives" to "twins."The collection showcases the accomplishments of First Ladies and their impact on the nation. This anthology reflects evolving gender norms, and the selections document what life – with all of its peaks and valleys – was like for women throughout American history. The sequel to Poems by Presidents: The First-Ever Anthology, Poems by First Ladies provides a deeper understanding of the wives of America's commanders in chief, offering unique insights into their humanity, values, and politics.

He told more about it to the priest than to others. He certainly had a secret to tell. He might as well have divulged it frankly, for the neighbours all knew well enough that it was the face of dead Ellen Coleman that he had seen. – J.S. Le FanuI felt a strange creeping sensation as I looked up the vast black staircase, wide enough for a coach to drive down, and at the heavy darkness bending over it like a curse. – Rosa MulhollandOn and on he glided, like an evil shadow, the very darkness seeming to loathe him as he passed. – Oscar WildeTo walk through Irish history is to pass through a haunted landscape. Perhaps that’s why so many of Ireland’s finest writers found themselves drawn to the ghost story. This collection includes the work of canonical figures like Bram Stoker, J.S. Le Fanu, Oscar Wilde, and W.B. Yeats, but also a wealth of lesser-known authors like Charlotte Riddell and Rosa Mulholland who were once bestsellers but are now unjustly neglected, all with a keen sense of Ireland’s haunted character. Each story in this collection is presented with its original publication details, so readers can see exactly where and when it first appeared, and a brief biography of its author. Together, they offer a fascinating cross-section of Ireland’s literary relationship with the supernatural.

“These books are so rich and engrossing that it is rewarding to read them even when one is stuck at home.”—The TLSThe Passenger makes its first stop in Southeast Asia. A journey to one of the world''s major tourist destinations.In this volume: Pitchaya Sudbanthad: Buddhism, the State, and Superpowers • Emma Larkin: The Country of Spirits • Claudio Sopranzetti: Monarchy Under Attack • and, soft power and the working class, the heart of rural Thailand and the separatism of the southern peninsula, the success of Boy Love, the palm oil scandal, and much more...Recent Thai history is a thrills-and-spills tale filled with street clashes, palace coups, intrigues, attempted revolution, restoration and democratic elections. It is an impossible democracy where the working classes, progressives, and young urban professionals push for reforms and clash with the conservative nobility and business elite. Thailand is perceived as permissive and tolerant, but it hides a prudish core. And yet, one of its main cultural exports is Boy Love stories, romantic tales featuring male protagonists. These stories are the flagship of a cultural revolution and has brought investment in the entertainment industry and Thai soft power to new levels. Behind this sparkling Thailand—exemplified by its capital Bangkok, the most visited city in the world in 2023—are vast regions like Isaan in the Northeast (a third of the area and population) that remain far from the familiar tourist routes. With their ethnic and linguistic diversity and rural character, regions such as these embody the kaleidoscopic soul of a country often overwhelmed by waves of assimilation and centralization. Despite efforts to impose a single culture, ethnicity, and religion, Thailand''s true strength seems to be syncretism, religious and otherwise, as demonstrated by the millions of Chinese immigrants who over the past century have increasingly mingled with the local populations to the point of becoming indistinguishable.
