A broken woman. An old-fashioned man. The love of a lifetime — if he isn’t too stubborn to accept it. Discovering a bruised and battered cult refugee in the lobby of his club isn’t exactly how Ryan Wood expects to find the woman of his dreams. Carrie is everything Ryan has always wanted — sweet, submissive, eager to please. She’s also way too young for him, and even though the stories from her childhood make his skin crawl, she’s still far too sheltered and innocent for a man like him. A man who demands complete obedience and who won’t hesitate to mete out discipline as he sees fit. But there’s a spine of steel hidden beneath Carrie’s wounds, and she isn’t backing down from what she wants without a fight. When she makes a shocking public claim, Ryan’s refusal to bend doesn’t just threaten their happily ever after… it threatens the very existence of Club Apocalypse itself.

Pestilence in Medieval and Early Modern English Literature examines three diseases--leprosy, bubonic plague, and syphilis--to show how doctors, priests, and literary authors from the Middle Ages through the Renaissance interpreted certain illnesses through a moral filter. Lacking knowledge about the transmission of contagious diseases, doctors and priests saw epidemic diseases as a punishment sent by God for human transgression. Accordingly, their job was to properly read sickness in relation to the sin. By examining different readings of specific illnesses, this book shows how the social construction of epidemic diseases formed a kind of narrative wherein man attempts to take the control of the disease out of God's hands by connecting epidemic diseases to the sins of carnality.

Editor Joseph P. Byrne, together with an advisory board of specialists and over 100 scholars, research scientists, and medical practitioners from 13 countries, has produced a uniquely interdisciplinary treatment of the ways in which diseases pestilence, and plagues have affected human life. From the Athenian flu pandemic to the Black Death to AIDS, this extensive two-volume set offers a sociocultural, historical, and medical look at infectious diseases and their place in human history from Neolithic times to the present. Nearly 300 entries cover individual diseases (such as HIV/AIDS, malaria, Ebola, and SARS); major epidemics (such as the Black Death, 16th-century syphilis, cholera in the nineteenth century, and the Spanish Flu of 1918-19); environmental factors (such as ecology, travel, poverty, wealth, slavery, and war); and historical and cultural effects of disease (such as the relationship of Romanticism to Tuberculosis, the closing of London theaters during plague epidemics, and the effect of venereal disease on social reform). Primary source sidebars, over 70 illustrations, a glossary, and an extensive print and nonprint bibliography round out the work.
