Review Sex, Social Purity and Sarah Grand (The History of Feminism) / Routledge:Eminently successful in the female magazine and fiction markets of the 1890s, Sarah Grand's work, with its mingling of the sensational and the conventional, enabled the general public to experiment with advanced ideas while providing her New Woman contemporaries with a popular vehicle for the articulation of their demands. In addition to reprinting Grand's hard-to-find journalistic and lesser-known fictional writings, this important new collection also features valuable biographical material and previously unpublished manuscript sources. This rich source for scholarly research includes: · Volume One contains Grand's journalism and the contemporary critical reception of her work. · Volume Two, focusing mostly on the 1920s-30s, includes letters which shed light on Grand's genesis as a writer and her interaction with 1890s artistic and feminist circles. · Volume Three contains a selection of short stories from three collections published at and after the turn of the century.

Review Josephine Butler and the Prostitution Campaigns: Diseases of the Body Politic (History of Feminism) / Routledge:This set provides comprehensive materials concerning Josephine Butler's campaign for the repeal of the Contagious Diseases Acts in Britain and the Colonies, and sets her work in its appropriate historical context. Until now, these papers have been difficult to access; many of the relevant anthologies are out of print, and the fragile originals have been deteriorating after over a century of use. In addition to Butler's own work, the thematically organized volumes include related texts which are important for understanding her campaign. The collection includes reset versions of pamphlets, books, media responses to Butler's activities, letters to The Times, articles from The Lancet, Pall Mall Gazette, The Shield and The Dawn as well as private letters both to and from Butler. The set is introduced through a substantial essay by Jane Jordan, one of the leading international scholars on Butler's life and works, and each volume contains a short introduction by the editors.

Review Florence Nightingale and the Birth of Professional Nursing (Western Influence on Japan) / Thoemmes Continuum:This is a new six-volume set of writings by Nightingale and her contemporaries on nursing and health care in nineteenth-century England. Topics include hospital nursing, district nursing and education, all of which underwent a transformation from the mid-nineteenth century onwards as nursing became professionalized and began to enjoy increased prestige, thanks in large part to the reforming efforts of Florence Nightingale. Nightingale's thoughts are supplemented by those of Elizabeth Garrett on hospital nursing, J. Clarke Jervoise on infection, Arthur Cotton on conditions in India, and Mrs Dacre Craven and William Rathbone on district nursing. Historically, Nightingale is an important figure in nursing and sanitary reform; she published copiously in these areas, using her own experiences in England and the Crimea as a basis for her critique of medicine and medical care and for her recommendations for improvement; she promoted the professionalization of nursing; she sought to improve the conditions of hospitals by actively promoting principles of sanitation; and she was elevated to the status of national heroine during the Crimean War. Nightingale was prominent as a critic, commentator and reformer of hospitals and nursing. Her writings address the relevant issues confronted by individuals who sought to elevate nursing to a respected profession, and they offer insight into what was perceived to be a woman's special role in the healing art, the often fraught nature of the nurse's relationship to medicine, and the sanitary conditions in hospitals and homes where people lived, died and nursed the ill. This major set is edited and introduced by Dr Lori Williamson, and will be of interest for academics in the history of medicine, nursing, sanitation, social welfare, and gender studies.
