Though she is still grieving the death of her mother, nineteen-year-old Sally Fuller has little choice but to carry on with the everyday business of life in 1930s Rotherhithe, caring for her father and young brother and sister, spending as much time with her boyfriend Pete as he can spare from his moneymaking schemes. But at the back of her mind she feels a nagging dissatisfaction - her matter-of-fact relationship with Pete, for instance, bears little resemblance to the romances of her movie-star idols, or even to the colourful liaisons of some of her more adventurous friends. And what about her more modest hopes for marriage and a baby of her own? Once again, Pete shows little interest. As war grows closer, Sally sees she must focus her mind on keeping those she loves safe and put her own selfish longings behind her. But war changes things ...

First published by Aperture in 1988, At Twelve: Portraits of Young Women is a groundbreaking classic by one of photography’s most renowned artists. Aperture is reoriginating it in a masterful facsimile edition that retains the purity of the original. At Twelve is Sally Mann’s revealing, collective portrait of twelve-year-old girls on the verge of adulthood. To be young and female in America is a time of tremendous excitement and social possibilities; it is a trying time as well, caught between childhood and adulthood, when the difference is not entirely understood. As Ann Beattie writes in her perceptive introduction, “These girls still exist in an innocent world in which a pose is only a pose—what adults make of that pose may be the issue.” The consequences of this misunderstanding can be real: destitution, abuse, unwanted pregnancy. The young women in Mann’s unflinching, large-format photographs, however, are n

'Reid is the talent to whom every smart young novelist who follows her will be compared - or hope to be.' - Meg MasonMichaela and Eve are two bright, bold women who befriend each other in their first year at a residential college at university, where they live in adjacent rooms. They could not be more different; one assured and popular - the other uncertain and eager-to-please. But something happens one night in Orientation week - a drunken encounter, a foggy memory that will force them to confront the realities of consent and wrestle with the dynamics of power.Initially bonded by their wit and sharp eye for the colleges' mix of material wealth and moral poverty, Michaela and Eve soon discover how fragile friendship is, and how capable of betrayal they both are.Written with a strikingly contemporary voice that is both wickedly clever and incisive, Love & Virtue explores issues of consent, feminism, class, and institutional privilege, and engages with enduring philosophical questions we face today.FOR FANS OF SALLY ROONEY'S CONVERSATIONS WITH FRIENDS AND ANNA HOPE'S EXPECTATION

From immigrant ghetto love stories such as The Cohens and the Kellys (1926), through romantic comedies including Meet the Parents (2000) and Knocked Up (2007), to television series such as Transparent (2014–), Jewish-Christian couplings have been a staple of popular culture for over a century. In these pairings, Joshua Louis Moss argues, the unruly screen Jew is the privileged representative of progressivism, secular modernism, and the cosmopolitan sensibilities of the mass-media age. But his/her unruliness is nearly always contained through romantic union with the Anglo-Christian partner. This Jewish-Christian meta-narrative has recurred time and again as one of the most powerful and enduring, although unrecognized, mass-culture fantasies.Using the innovative framework of coupling theory, Why Harry Met Sally surveys three major waves of Jewish-Christian couplings in popular American literature, theater, film, and television. Moss explores how first-wave European and American creators in the early twentieth century used such couplings as an extension of modernist sensibilities and the American “melting pot.” He then looks at how New Hollywood of the late 1960s revived these couplings as a sexually provocative response to the political conservatism and representational absences of postwar America. Finally, Moss identifies the third wave as emerging in television sitcoms, Broadway musicals, and “gross-out” film comedies to grapple with the impact of American economic globalism since the 1990s. He demonstrates that, whether perceived as a threat or a triumph, Jewish-Christian couplings provide a visceral, easily graspable, template for understanding the rapid transformations of an increasingly globalized world.

'Fresh, witty, and utterly romantic, this is the deliciously offbeat modern reimagining of When Harry Met Sally I never knew I needed' Ali Hazelwood, The Love Hypothesis'An enemies-to-lovers, New York-set romcom inspired by When Harry Met Sally?

This two-volume book is a collection of previously unpublished primary sources about Japan in the years around the 1868 Meiji restoration from a rare female point of view. The author of the original manuscripts is Contessa Mathilde (1838-1911), the French spouse of the first Italian Minister Plenipotentiary to Japan, Conte Vittorio Sallier de La Tour (1827-1894). Indeed, very little is known about the position of Italy in Japan during these crucial years, but Mathilde’s collection of private sources, such as letters, notes and travel journals casts a new light on different aspects of Italo-Japanese relations: diplomacy, commerce, religion and politics, while describing, with an uncommon enthusiasm and emotion, Japan and its people before they started to embrace modernity.The first manuscript is a set of letters about the trip from Italy to Japan, introducing Mathilde, Vittorio and other members of the small Italian community of Yokohama. The second is an unpolished draft with roughly written notes about Mathilde’s life in Yokohama and Edo (Tokyo). The third is a set of letters addressed to a close friend, where Mathilde opens up her heart and talks about her joys and frustrations. The fourth manuscript is the earliest travel journal written by a woman who traveled in the inner regions of Japan (in 1869 - almost ten years before Isabella Bird’s famous Unbeaten Tracks in Japan), full of vivid descriptions and interesting insights about practical and political matters. The fifth manuscript is a travel journal about a trip by sea to Western Japan (Osaka, Kobe, Nagasaki) through the Inland Sea and to China (Shanghai, Amoy and Hong Kong). The first volume of the set includes numerous colour and b/w images, a preface and an introduction in French, the transcriptions of the five sets of documents (written in French as they appear on the original manuscripts) and a collection of Mathilde’s sketches taken during the 1869 trip into the interior of Japan. The second volume includes an English translation of the transcribed documents, a bibliography and an index of names. Each volume includes about 950 explanatory footnotes in both languages. The book will be of great interest for students and scholars of the history of Japanese relations with foreign powers in the nineteenth century.

‘A unique and thrilling insight into the brilliant mind of Anne Lister’ Sally Wainwright, creator of Gentleman JackFemale Fortune is the book which inspired Sally Wainwright to write Gentleman Jack, now a major drama series for the BBC and HBO.Lesbian landowner Anne Lister inherited Shibden Hall in 1826. She was an impressive scholar, fearless traveller and successful businesswoman, even developing her own coalmines. Her extraordinary diaries, running to 4-5 million words, were partly written in her own secret code and recorded her love affairs with startling candour. The diaries were included on UNESCO’s Memory of the World Register in 2011.Jill Liddington’s classic edition of the diaries tells the story of how Anne Lister wooed and seduced neighbouring heiress Ann Walker, who moved in to live with Anne and her family in 1834. Politically active, Anne Lister door-stepped her tenants at the 1835 Election to vote Tory. And socially very ambitious, she employed architects to redesign both the Hall and the estate.Yet Ann Walker had an inconvenient number of local relatives, suspicious of exactly how Anne Lister could pay for all her grand improvements. Tensions grew to a melodramatic crescendo when news reached Shibden of the pair being burnt in effigy.This 2022 edition includes a fascinating Afterword on the recent discovery of Ann Walker’s own diary. Female Fortune is essential reading for those who watched Gentleman Jack and want to know more about the extraordinary woman that was Anne Lister.
