The Histories of Some of the Penitents in the Magdalen House
First published in 1759, this novel aims to promote the cause of the Magdalen House, a charity which sought to rehabilitate prostitutes by fitting them for a life of virtuous industry. It challenges long-standing prejudices against prostitutes by presenting them as victims of inadequate education, male libertinism and sexual double standards.

Take Five
TAKE FIVE is an eclectic collection of stories about provocative circumstances and intriguing events.............. "Dreams" blurs reality in a macabre interplay between the conscious world and the unconscious imagination. In "e-mail," the Internet extends a global reach of high tech revenge from Washington, D.C. to Central America. EVERMORE follows one man's unusually long journey that starts in the nineteenth century and continues into the twenty-first. "Parfum de Femme" is a sexually charged romp through the world of haute perfume marketing and corporate transgressions. From the SITUATION ROOM, the President and his senior staff try to control escalating events as the world moves toward nuclear cataclysm.
Pope to Burney, 1714-1779
This essential guide defines literature of the eighteenth century as a literature written and received as public conversation. Moyra Haslett discusses and challenges conventional ways of reading the period, particularly in relation to notions of the public sphere. In her wide-ranging study, Haslett reads key texts - including The Dunciad, Gulliver's Travels and Pamela - in their literary and cultural contexts, and examines such genres as the periodical, the familiar letter, the verse epistle and the novel as textual equivalents of coterie culture.
