Orphan Texts: Victorians, Orphans, Culture and Empire
by Peters, Laura       
(Paperback - English - 9780719090165)
In one of the first studies of its kind, Orphan texts seeks to insert the orphan, and the problems its existence poses, in the larger critical areas of the family and childhood in Victorian culture. In doing so, Laura Peters considers certain canonical texts alongside lesser known works from popular culture in order to establish the context in which discourses of orphanhood operated. The study argues that the prevalence of the orphan figure can be explained by considering the family. The family and all it came to represent - legitimacy, race and national belonging - was in crisis. In order to reaffirm itself the family needed a scapegoat: it found one in the orp ..

Dickens and Race
by Peters, Laura       
(Hardcover - English - 9780719064265)
In the first book-length study of its kind Dickens and Race examines Dickens's complex relationship with race shaped by the twin poles of racial science and fancy. Examining the intersection of the lifelong influence of childhood favourites Robinson Crusoe and Tales of the Arabian Night, and the African travel narratives for which the adult Dickens had a particular 'insatiable relish' with Dickens's interest in science, Dickens and Race offers a unique contextualisation of Dickens's fictional engagements with race in relation to his lesser-known journalism, with wider nineteenth-century debates about differences between humans, with issues of empire, and with th ..

Dickens and Childhood
by Peters, Laura       
(Hardcover - English - 9781409430414)
'No words can express the secret agony of my soul'. Dickens's tantalising hint alluding to his time at Warren's Blacking Factory remains a gnomic statement until Forster's biography after Dickens's death. Such a revelation partly explains the dominance of biography in early Dickens criticism; Dickens's own childhood was understood to provide the material for his writing, particularly his representation of the child and childhood. Yet childhood in Dickens continues to generate a significant level of critical interest. This volume of essays traces the shifting importance given to childhood in Dickens criticism. The essays consider a range of subjects such as the R ..

Organic Gardening for Canada
by Peters, Laura

Organic gardening is natural. It's using compost instead of chemical fertilizers to improve the health of your soil. It's using mulches to retain moisture and reduce watering needs.

Voyage of the Volery Defrost
by Peters, Laura       
(Paperback - English - 9781678147372)
Those who planned humanity's escape from a doomed Earth didn't wait for crowdfunding or positive public opinion polls. Construction on the UESS Volery was well underway when stories about Apophis colliding with Earth began to move from pseudo-science blogs to the front pages of the Associated Press. The ship was assembled in space, secretly, on the far side of the moon, and they finished her ahead of schedule. That was lucky. The world was running out of time. Soon afterward people could see Apophis with their naked eyes. George A.C. Voler spent his entire fortune on her. She was officially Named: ""Volery,"" but George had ""Voler's Folly"" emblazoned on her si ..
