Can a former intelligence officer for His Majesty’s Army take on a seductress bent on revenge? Liverpool, 1787, is a place where few abolitionists dare to tread. But Georgette Bailey, a beautiful and scandalous courtesan, uses bedroom blackmail to both support the abolition movement and exact revenge upon the four slave traders who wronged her. But when she sets her sights on an officer of His Majesty’s Army as her next target, she doesn’t expect to find a man who can match her in every way, especially her darkest desires. Colonel Bartholomew Hensley served with distinction in the Revolutionary War, particularly in the area of intelligence and information gathering. Duty bound to help a friend of the family in need, he agrees to wrest from Miss Bailey a most salacious journal that could be used to ruin the reputation of no fewer than four respected gentlemen of Liverpool. But the sultry seductress is no common courtesan. Colonel Hensley’s efforts to secure the journal will thrust them into a dark and forbidden place that will most certainly lead to their destruction. A Courtesan’s Submission (Part 1 of 2) is a steamy historical romance and not for the faint of heart. If you like bold characters, intriguing settings, and dark torment, then delve into Em Brown’s scorching tale of wicked passion.

This title, first published in 1979, is a glossary of the bawdy vocabulary that was used in Renaissance Drama. One of the primary functions of this gloss of literary bawdy is to interpret imaginative uses of the language rather than simply record the generally accepted uses and meanings, with its principal task to make the dialogue of the plays more intelligible to the reader. With examples of bawdy language used in the works of Shakespeare, Ben Jonson and John Webster amongst many others, this title will be of great interest to students of literature and performance studies.

Colonial documents and works of literature from early modern Spain are rife with references to public women, whores, and prostitutes. In Profit and Passion, Nicole von Germeten offers a new history of the women who carried and resisted these labels of ill repute. The elusive, ever-changing terminology for prosecuted women voiced by kings, jurists, magistrates, inquisitors, and bishops, as well as disgruntled husbands and neighbors, foreshadows the increasing regulation, criminalization, and polarizing politics of modern global transactional sex. The author’s analysis concentrates on the words women spoke in depositions and court appearances, and how their language changed over time, pointing to a broader transformation in the history of sexuality, gender, and the ways in which courts and law enforcement processes affected women.

Christianity faces a dilemma with regard to the status of women. Despite advances, female subordination remains a predominant social and religious paradigm in a number of modern cultures. Among Christians, the primary justification for patriarchy has been the story of Adam and Eve, along with seven key New Testament texts rooted in the notion that female subordination is the will of God. This book provides a critical analysis of womanhood in the major cultures that formed the backdrop for the emergence of Christianity: Mesopotamia, Egypt, Judaism, Greece, Rome and the Mystery Cults. The author connects the subordination of women to slavery and other forms of social and political dominance that were taken for granted in the ancient world, and demonstrates their influence on various New Testament texts concerning the status of women in the home and church.
