› Find signed collectible books: 'Darwin and the Barnacle: The Story of One Tiny Creature and History's Most Spectacular Scientific Breakthrough'Book summary:A scientific detective story that illuminates the remarkable saga of Darwin's greatest achievement.
Pairing Charles Darwin and a rare species of barnacle as her unlikely protagonists, Rebecca Stott has written an absorbing work of history, a book that guides readers through the treacherous shoals of nineteenth-century biology. Beginning her narrative in the 1820s even before Darwin's Beagle voyage, Stott examines the mystery of why Darwin waited over two decades between formulating his pivotal theory of natural selection and publishing it. Lavishly illustrated, filled with riddles and concepts that challenge our notion of Victorian science, Darwin and the Barnacle is a thrilling account of how genius proceeds through indirectionand how one small item of curiosity contributed to one of science's greatest achievements. 32 illustrations.

The Fabrication of the Late-Victorian Femme Fatale: The Kiss of Deathby Rebecca StottISBN 0333669606 (0-333-66960-6)

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Fabrication of the Late-Victorian Femme Fatale : The Kiss of Death'Book summary:This book examines the rise of the femme fatale as a prominant fictional type in late nineteenth-century British culture. As a stereotype she has been 'fabricated', that is to say constructed as a 'figure in the carpet' of the fin-de-siecle. The book argues that Rider Haggard's She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed, Bram Stoker's female vampires and Conrad's destructive Malayan or African women, even Hardy's Tess, are all caught up in a series of late nineteenth-century contexts: biological determinism, imperialism, race, theories about female sexuality, degeneration and evolutionary theory.

Tennysonby Rebecca StottISBN 0582237122 (0-582-23712-2)
Softcover, Addison-Wesley
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Tennyson'Book summary:Alternative approaches have emerged which have radically altered our understanding of Tennyson's poetry and his relationship to the Victorian age. This text covers the most significant areas of new work on Tennyson, effectively linking feminist and gender studies with deconstructive, psychoanalytic and linguistic attention. The Introduction discusses ways in which orthodox critical approaches have dominated readings of Tennyson's poetry and provides a critical overview of the radical reappraisal of his work. It also provides a guide to the varied ways in which these new debates have shaped and are shaping themselves, with a final discussion of the future directions which Tennyson criticism is likely to take. The essays chosen cover and reflect a range of modes of critical enquiry compelling in themselves. [via]
