Gender

This book offers a clear introductory overview of the concept of gender. It places gender in its historical contexts and traces its development from the Enlightenment to the present, before moving on to the evolution of the concept of gender from within the various stances of feminist criticism, and recent developments in queer theory and post-feminism. Close analysis of key literary texts, including Frankenstein, Paradise Lost and A Midsummer Night's Dream, shows how specific styles of literature enable reflection on gender.

Is gender nothing more than an ideology, or does it have its basis in sexual difference? This invaluable introductory guide offers a clear overview of the concept, and problem, of gender.

Gender

Critical debates about gender are intense, diverse, and vigorously ongoing. What becomes clear when investigating this subject is that, while feminism has obviously played a pioneering role in the articulation, politicization, and development of questions of gender, the field of enquiry into gender is broader than feminism. This book takes into account these considerations and offers an accessible and stimulating introduction to the sheer breadth and diversity of work on gender. While feminism is represented in its vitality and variety, so too is work on masculinities, psychoanalytical accounts of gender, and more recent developments such as queer theory.

Critical debates about gender are intense, diverse, and vigorously ongoing, now bearing on every aspect of cultural endeavour and enquiry.

A History of the Liberal Party since 1900

Once teetering on the brink of oblivion, the British Liberal Party has again re-established itself as a major force in national and local politics. David Dutton's approachable study offers new insights into the waning, near death and ultimate recovery of the Liberal Party from 1900 to the present day. Discussions of politics, philosophy and performance are all skilfully interwoven as Dutton demonstrates how the party has become, once more, a formidable player on the political stage. The second edition of this established text offers: * an entirely new chapter on the coalition government * a chronology of key events * numerous suggestions for further reading. This lively survey of British Liberalism from the era of Campbell-Bannerman to that of Nick Clegg reviews existing literature while offering its own distinctive perspective on one of the most compelling of political dramas.
