The Doctor in the Victorian Novel

Family Practices

By: Tabitha Sparks

With the character of the doctor as her subject, Tabitha Sparks follows the decline of the marriage plot in the Victorian novel. As Victorians came to terms with the scientific revolution in medicine of the mid-to-late nineteenth century, the novel's progressive distance from the conventions of the marriage plot can be indexed through a rising identification of the doctor with scientific empiricism. A narrative's stance towards scientific reason, Sparks argues, is revealed by the fictional doctor's relationship to the marriage plot. Thus, novels that feature romantic doctors almost invariably deny the authority of empiricism, as is the case in George MacDonald's Adela Cathcart. In contrast, works such as Wilkie Collins's Heart and Science, which highlight clinically minded or even sinister doctors, uphold the determining logic of science and, in turn, threaten the novel's romantic plot. By focusing on the figure of the doctor rather than on a scientific theme or medical field, Sparks emulates the Victorian novel's personalization of tropes and belief systems, using the realism associated with the doctor to chart the sustainability of the Victorian novel's central imaginative structure, the marriage plot. As the doctors Sparks examines increasingly stand in for the encroachment of empirical knowledge on a morally formulated artistic genre, their alienation from the marriage plot and its interrelated decline succinctly herald the end of the Victorian era and the beginning of Modernism.

Candles Burning

By: Tabitha King,Michael McDowell, Ph.D

“A mix of magic realism and Southern gothic, this stunning collaboration between King and McDowell…moves at a hypnotic pace, like an Alabama water moccasin slipping through black water.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review) Calliope “Calley” Dakin is no normal little girl. She hears things that maybe a little girl shouldn’t hear—and knows things a little girl should never know. Just seven when her beloved father is tortured, murdered, and dismembered by two women with no discernable motivation, Calley and her mother find themselves caught up in inexplicable events that exile them to Pensacola Beach. There—in a house that’s a dead ringer for Calley’s late great-grandmother’s house—another woman awaits their presence. A woman who understands what Calley is, but can’t begin to imagine just how strong her bond is with her father—even after death... Known for his chilling Blackwater series, author Michael McDowell left behind the unfinished manuscript for Candles Burning on his death in 1999. In the spirit of the ghost stories that Michael loved, Tabitha King has taken up where he left off.

The Importance of Campaign Promises

The Importance of Campaign Promises

By: Tabitha Bonilla

Campaign promises are a cornerstone of representative democracy. Candidates make promises to signal to voters their intentions in office and voters evaluate candidates based on those promises. This study unpacks the theorized pathway regarding campaign promises: not whether promises are kept, but what purpose promises serve, what they signal, and how they affect voter decision-making. The author explores the pathways and conditions influencing promises and finds that promises tend to have a polarizing effect on voters' opinions of politicians, attracting similarly-positioned voters and strongly repelling voters who disagree with a candidate's position. In addition, voters perceive promise breakers as less honest and less likely to follow through than candidates who more weakly took the same position. With a wealth of data and fascinating case studies, this book is full of important insights into electoral psychology and the study of promises, campaigning, and representation.

Victorian Metafiction

Victorian Metafiction

By: Tabitha Sparks

Critics agree in the abstract that "metafiction" refers to any novel that draws attention to its own fictional construction, but metafiction has been largely associated with the postmodern era. In this innovative new book Tabitha Sparks identifies a sustained pattern of metafiction in the Victorian novel that illuminates the art and intentions of its female practitioners. From the mid-nineteenth century through the fin de siècle, novels by Victorian women such as Charlotte Brontë, Rhoda Broughton, Charlotte Riddell, Eliza Lynn Linton, and several New Women authors share a common but underexamined trope: the fictional characterization of the woman novelist or autobiographer. Victorian Metafiction reveals how these novels systemically dispute the assumptions that women wrote primarily about their emotions or were restricted to trivial, sentimental plots. Countering an established tradition that has read novels by women writers as heavily autobiographical and confessional, Sparks identifies the literary technique of metafiction in numerous novels by women writers and argues that women used metafictional self-consciousness to draw the reader’s attention to the book and not the novelist. By dislodging the narrative from these cultural prescriptions, Victorian Metafiction effectively argues how these women novelists presented the business and art of writing as the subject of the novel and wrote metafiction in order to establish their artistic integrity and professional authority.

Cunning Folk

Life in the Era of Practical Magic

By: Tabitha Stanmore

A vibrant look at an unsettled and strangely familiar time that overturns our assumptions about the history of magic. Imagine: it's the year 1600 and you've lost your precious silver spoons, or maybe they've been stolen. Perhaps your child has a fever. Or you're facing a trial. Maybe you're looking for love or escaping a husband. What do you do? In medieval and early modern Europe, your first port of call might have been cunning folk: practitioners of “service magic.” Neither feared (like witches), nor venerated (like saints), they were essential to daily life. For people across ages, genders, and social ranks, practical magic was a cherished resource for navigating life's many challenges. In historian Tabitha Stanmore's beguiling account, we meet lovelorn widows, dissolute nobles, selfless healers, and renegade monks. We listen in on Queen Elizabeth I's astrology readings and track treasure hunters trying to unearth buried gold without upsetting the fairies that guard it. Much like us, premodern people lived in a bewildering world, buffeted by forces beyond their control. As Stanmore reveals, their faith in magic has much to teach about how to accommodate the irrational in our allegedly enlightened lives today. Charming in every sense, Cunning Folk is at once an immersive reconstruction of a bygone era and a thought-provoking commentary on the beauty and bafflement of being human.

Bodyguards, Inc.

By: Tabitha Gibson

Guarding Madison Bodyguard Lucien Trace was good at his job. Damn good. Following two rules kept him sane: Staying away from the Hollywood-ites and never get personal. A call from his uncle would have him break both of those rules and shatter the biggest rule of all: Falling in love. Hollywood's darling, Madison Jordan didn't have time to deal with a pushy bodyguard. She had enough issues complicating her life already: A domineering mother, a weight complex... oh and a stalker who wanted to kill her. A break in with an ominous message in the form of a knife through her picture kept Trace in her home, but would she willingly let him into her heart? Under His Protection Alexander "Lex" Cameron didn't have time to visit his family let alone have one of his own, but that's exactly what he got the day he nearly ran over the slip of a girl who dashed in front of his Harley. He gave her a ride to safety, then gave her his name when he found a Wanted: Dead or Alive poster with her picture on it. It wasn't just about her anymore; it was about her unborn child and the strong hold they both had on his heart. Tina Garrett came to California with her best friend and the hopes and dreams of becoming the next big sensation in the fashion world. Instead, she witnessed a murder, found herself pregnant and held against her will. Managing to escape, she ran into or rather in front of a motorcycle and its brusque owner. He gets her to safety then shocks her by getting her to the preacher but can he get to her in time when danger comes calling? Or would she lose her life before losing the chance to tell him what's in her heart? Watching Over Her Jack Cameron hadn't seen her in years but there she was in all her spitfire glory, glaring down at him. And she was still damned beautiful. No matter what their past, no matter what she wanted or didn't want, she had a stalker and he would be watching over her until the mystery of who the stalker was solved and she was safe once again. But his body burned for her, ached for her, needed her; it was his head that needed convincing to stop running and his heart that would lead the way home where he belonged, back to her. Arabella Carson thought she was over Jack Cameron. She had finally found her path and sung her way to success, headlining a new supper club. So why was he back? And why did her body have to remind her how good they had been together? When a few of what she thought were accidents began to turn more deadly, she gave in to his protection, then gave into the need for his touch for just one night. But would one night be enough for them both? More importantly, would Jack's protection be enough to save her from the deranged man who meant to silence her voice forever?
