Hot Winter Sun

By: Jessica Russell

Against the turbulent backdrop of the English Civil War, where political treachery and religious persecution are commonplace, and unlikely romance springs up between Catherine Trefelner, a beautiful villager, and Robert Bradshaw, co-heir to one of Cornwall's richest estates. Staunch Royalists, Robert and his twin brother, Julian, are loyal to the clever, but misguided King Charles, while Catherine's father is a fanatical Puritan, living for the day the Parliamentarian Army unseats the king and makes Royalists conform or seek refuge in France. As Catherine navigates the challenges of her new life as Lady of the Manor, her father constantly threatens vengeance over her marriage to a Royalist. Ever cynical, Julian continues to question Catherine’s motive for marrying his brother, and what follows is a spine-tingling tale of love, hate, revenge, envy, mercy and redemption during one of the most chaotic and unstable times in England’s history. Book Review 1: "A seventeenth-century romance mixed with the mystery of murder is the canvas upon which Russell spins her tale and a heady mix it proves to be! Weaving a delightfully feisty narrative that courts intrigue, she admirably maintains the tone and tenor of the genre, her bygone era lovingly resurrected with an infallible eye for detail and a keen ear for dialogue that pervades throughout. There are the jocularity, craving and indulgence that attests to the timeless allure of historical romance, but this is much more than a captivatingly voyeuristic novel with Russell encouraging reflection on prevailing matters of the heart. Suspense, sexual tension, and love are abundant, but they would be little more than the requisite offerings of romantic fiction if it wasn’t for Russell’s talent for creating wonderfully vibrant characters. First and foremost of which are the recalcitrant Julian Bradshaw and Catherine Trefelner. Their story being one of tragic loss, recovery, love and ultimately acceptance. Immediately enthralling Hot Winter Sun proves an extraordinary debut for Russell and one which will undoubtedly be well received by fans of 17th-century historical romance. It is recommended without reservation!" -- BookViral Book Reviews Book Review 2: "An amazing novel that grabs you and does not let you go!" -- Novelio–Listen to My Words Podcast

Politics and the British Novel in the 1970s

By: J. Russell Perkin

The 1970s in Britain saw a series of industrial disputes, a referendum on membership in the European Economic Community, conflict about issues of immigration and citizenship, and emergent environmental and feminist movements. It was also a decade of innovation in the novel, and novelists often addressed the state of the nation directly in their works. In Politics and the British Novel in the 1970s Russell Perkin looks at social novels by John Fowles and Margaret Drabble, the Cold War thrillers of John le Carré, Richard Adams's best-selling fable Watership Down, the popular campus novels of Malcolm Bradbury and David Lodge, Doris Lessing's dystopian visions, and V.S. Naipaul's explorations of post-colonial displacement. Many of these highly regarded works sold in large numbers and have enjoyed enduring success – a testament to the power of the political novel to explain a nation to itself. Perkin explores the connections between the novel and politics, situating the works it discusses in the rich context of the history and culture of the decade, from party politics to popular television shows. Politics and the British Novel in the 1970s elucidates a period of literary history now fifty years in the past and offers a balanced perspective on the age, revealing that these works not only represented the politics of the time but played a meaningful role in them.

Fiddle Tunes from Mississippi

Commercial and Informal Recordings, 1920-2018

By: Harry Bolick,Tony Russell

In 2015 University Press of Mississippi published Mississippi Fiddle Tunes and Songs from the 1930s by Harry Bolick and Stephen T. Austin to critical acclaim and commercial success. Roughly half of Mississippi’s rich, old-time fiddle tradition was documented in that volume and Harry Bolick has spent the intervening years working on this book, its sequel. Beginning with Tony Russell’s original mid-1970s fieldwork as a reference, and later working with Russell, Bolick located and transcribed all of the Mississippi 78 rpm string band recordings. Some of the recording artists like the Leake County Revelers, Hoyt Ming and His Pep Steppers, and Narmour & Smith had been well known in the state. Others, like the Collier Trio, were obscure. This collecting work was followed by many field trips to Mississippi searching for and locating the children and grandchildren of the musicians. Previously unheard recordings and stories, unseen photographs and discoveries of nearly unknown local fiddlers, such as Jabe Dillon, John Gatwood, Claude Kennedy, and Homer Grice, followed. The results are now available in this second, companion volume, Fiddle Tunes from Mississippi: Commercial and Informal Recordings, 1920–2018. Two hundred and seventy musical examples supplement the biographies and photographs of the thirty-five artists documented here. Music comes from commercial recordings and small pressings of 78 rpm, 45 rpm, and LP records; collectors’ field recordings; and the musicians’ own home tape and disc recordings. Taken together, these two volumes represent a delightfully comprehensive survey of Mississippi’s fiddle tunes.

Who Made the Scottish Enlightenment?

A Personal, Biographical and Analytical Enquiry

By: Colin Russell

The Scottish Enlightenment is often portrayed as elitist and Edinburgh based with no universally agreed beginning or end. Additionally, the Philosophers and scholars (the great Scottish Enlightenment figures) sometimes obscure significant contributions from other disciplines so that the achievements of a wider conception of the Scottish Enlightenment are not universally known. Sir Walter Scott also recognised that his nation the peculiar features of whose manners and character are daily melting and dissolving into that of her sister and ally had an identity crisis. Both issues are addressed in this enquiry which seeks to highlight the scale and breadth of the Scottish Enlightenment whilst posing the question as to how Scottish identity can be preserved.

The Unsexed Mind and Psychological Androgyny, 1790-1848

The Unsexed Mind and Psychological Androgyny, 1790-1848

Radicalism, Reform and Gender in England

By: Victoria F. Russell

This book explores a significant lacuna in British history. Between the 1790s and the 1840s, the concept of psychological androgyny or the unsexed mind emerged as a notion of psychosexual equality, promoted by a small though influential network of heterodox radicals on the margins of Rational Dissent. Deeply concerned with the growing segregation of the sexes, supported seemingly by arbitrary and increasingly binary models of sexual difference, heterodox radicals insisted that while the body might be sexed, the mind was not. They argued that society and the prejudicial masculinist institutions of patriarchy should be reformed to accommodate and protect what one radical described as an ‘infinitely varied humanity’. In placing the concept of psychological androgyny centre stage, this book offers a substantial revision to understandings of progressive debates on gender in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth-century in Britain.

Fabricating Religion

Fanfare for the Common e.g.

By: Russell T. McCutcheon

The revised essays collected here, four of which are published for the first time, continue a longstanding argument made by McCutcheon and others: that the study of religion would benefit from self-conscious scrutiny of its tools, the interests that may drive them, and the effects that might follow their use. The chapters examine a variety of contemporary sites in the modern field where this thesis can be argued, whether involving the anachronistic use of of the category religion when studying the ancient world to current interest in so-called critical religion or critical realist approaches. Moreover – contrary to some past characterizations of such critiques – a constructive way forward for the field is once again recommended and, at several sites, exemplified in detail: redescribing not only religion as something ordinary but also our tendency to create the impression of exceptional and thus set-apart things, places, and people. Aimed at scholars and students alike, the book is an invitation to examine our own scholarly practices and thereby take a more active role in shaping the field in which we carry out our work as scholars of this thing we call religion.

Richard Brevard Russell, Jr

A Life of Consequence

By: Sally Russell

In 1897, the year Richard Brevard Russell, Jr., was born, the world was poised for a dramatic swing into a century that would see more changes in religion, politics, society, science, technology, and war than almost all other centuries of human history combined. It was a wild ride for a boy born to fulfill great expectations in the mercurial modern political arena yet reared to venerate the worn and vanishing splendor of the American South. He would become one of the half dozen most powerful men in Washington for a period of almost twenty years, and it would be frequently admitted, most notably by President Harry Truman, that if Russell had not been from Georgia, if he had been from a state such as Indiana, Illinois or Missouri, the Presidency could not have been denied him. His love of the South and his native state was such that when Truman¿s remark was quoted to him, Russell replied: ¿I¿d rather be from Georgia than be President.¿ This book acquaints the reader with a fascinating and complex man of contrasts. An ardent segregationist who fought civil rights legislation, Richard B. Russell was also the devoted father of the School Lunch Program. A Georgia farm boy, Russell almost idolized the agricultural society from which America sprang but embraced the nuclear age and space technology. An intense family man, he appreciated women, fell in love easily, and conducted numerous affairs. Yet Russell never married. Deeply private, he lived his entire adult life in the public eye. Richard Russell was good company. His personal story makes good reading.

A guide to mosquitoes in the Pacific

By: Tanya L. Russell,Thomas R. Burkot

Russell, Tanya L. and Burkot, Thomas R. 2023. A guide to mosquitoes in the Pacific. Pacific Community, Noumea. The Pacific is home to 11.4 million people residing in 22 countries and territories across the region. Recently, the Pacific has been experiencing unprecedented outbreaks of dengue, chikungunya and Zika virus alongside ongoing malaria and lymphatic filariasis transmission with direct effects on morbidity and mortality. The ongoing transmission of mosquito-borne diseases places a heavy toll on already fragile health systems with local economic and social repercussions. This handbook provides practical and basic biological information on the behaviours and distribution of the mosquitoes of the Pacific region as they are presently known. This handbook is a foundational reference for all those working towards reducing the transmission of mosquito-borne diseases in the region. An overview of the diversity and distribution of mosquitoes throughout the Pacific, including checklists for the species present in each of the 22 Pacific Island countries and territories, is provided. For the mosquitoes that are common and/or of medical importance, one-page profiles are provided that include information about their key behaviours.
