This book is the first full-length study of contemporary American fiction of passing. Its takes as its point of departure the return of racial and gender passing in the 1990s in order to make claims about wider trends in contemporary American fiction. The book accounts for the return of tropes of passing in fiction by Phillip Roth, Percival Everett, Louise Erdrich, Danzy Senna, Jeffrey Eugenides and Paul Beatty, by arguing meta-critical and meta-fictional tool. These writers are attracted to the trope of passing because passing narratives have always foregrounded the notion of textuality in relation to the (il)legibility of "black" subjects passing as white. The central argument of this book, then, is that contemporary narratives of passing are concerned with articulating and unpacking an analogy between passing and authorship. The title promises to inaugurate dialogue on the relationships between passing, postmodernism and authorship in contemporary American fiction.

Die Charakterfestigkeit, mit der heilige und spirituelle Frauen für ihren Glauben einstanden und mehr wagten, als zu ihrer Zeit üblich war, machte sie zu ebenso verehrten wie gefürchteten Frauen. Im Klosterleben wirkten sie als Dichterinnen, Malerinnen, Musikerinnen und Lehrerinnen und nahmen Einfluss auf die sie umgebende Welt. Und noch heute vermögen sie als Schutzpatroninnen Kraft, Trost und Beistand zu spenden. Die Faszination, die seit jeher von ihnen ausgeht, schlug sich nicht zuletzt auch in der Kunst nieder, wo sie berühmten Malern immer wieder als Sujet und Inspiration dienten. Antje Southern stellt in dieser reich illustrierten Geschichte vom Mittelalter bis ins 20. Jahrhundert legendäre Märtyrerinnen, Mystikerinnen, Prophetinnen, Denkerinnen und Heilerinnen vor – von der Heiligen Maria über Maria Magdalena hin zu Hildegard von Bingen, Teresa von Ávila, Johanna von Orleans u. v. a. –, die berühmte Künstler in ihren Gemälden unsterblich gemacht haben. Mit Gemälden von Giotto, Raffael, Lucas Cranach d. Ä., Peter Paul Rubens, John Everett Millais, John William Waterhouse u. v. a.

Between 1803 and 1853, some 80,000 convicts were transported to Van Diemen's Land. Revising established models of the colonies, which tend to depict convict women as a peculiarly oppressed group, Gender, crime and empire argues that convict men and women in fact shared much in common. Placing men and women, ideas about masculinity, femininity, sexuality and the body, in comparative perspective, this book argues that historians must take fuller account of class to understand the relationships between gender and power. The book explores the ways in which ideas about fatherhood and household order initially informed the state's model of order, and the reasons why this foundered. It considers the shifting nature of state policies towards courtship, relationships and attempts at family formation which subsequently became matters of class conflict. It goes on to explore the ways in which ideas about gender and family informed liberal and humanitarian critiques of the colonies from the 1830s and 1840s and colonial demands for abolition and self-government. ;
