A Choice That Would Determine The Fate Of The World . . . “Author’s debut novel is a riveting page-turning that will delight fantasy readers.” “In the land of two moons, there were three kingdoms; the Magicians’ Plains, the Vampires’ Mountains, and the Werewolves’ Forests. Each of these groups kept to themselves, and each were separated from the others with natural boundaries. But that all changed when vampires and werewolves declared war on each other. Born during an epic battle between vampires and werewolves, Elizibeth Timberman has no idea of the difficult choice she would have to make someday. When tragedy strikes days before she turns sixteen, she is rescued by a mysterious boy with the magnetic beauty of an angel. She finds herself torn when a newfound friend takes one side while her love takes the other. As she is neither vampire nor werewolf, she must make a choice—a choice that would change everything. Nevermore: To the Beams of Darkness is the story of that choice, of what she turned into, and how one action ended an ongoing battle. Riveting from the first page until the last, this debut novel by Molly Lynn Robinson is sure to delight fans of fantasy, forbidden romance, and adventure stories. The author’s masterful storytelling and intriguing plot makes for a truly unforgettable read. Readers won’t want to put down this enthralling page-turner.”

An international group of scholars working in early modern English literature and culture have been invited to reflect upon one of the most dynamic dialectics of the period: the opposition between the concept “human, humanist, humanism” versus the concept “barbarous, barbarian, barbarism.” The result is Writing the Other: Humanism versus Barbarism in Tudor England. The essays in this volume range widely across the literary and cultural field mapped out by this opposition, thus revealing a rich multiplicity of voices and approaches to one of the fundamental processes by which self-fashioning and also “other-fashioning” operated during the Tudor reign. The focus moves from England to North Africa, to Hungary and to the New World in its panoramic display of the vast theatre in which identities were forged. The volume as a whole demonstrates how the cultural OtherOther was as much invented as described—“forged” in the sense, perhaps, of “counterfeited” —during the early modern and especially the Tudor period. This invention occasionally led to the demonisation of the object of its gaze, at other times its rehumanisation; sometimes we may detect evidence of a painful act of distortion, and at others we see the purposeful and profitable creation of a self-identityidentity with an eye on the rhetorical, religious, poetic, national expectations of the readers in the new context of print culture. But everywhere we witness the remarkable energy and fertility of the primary opposition which gives this collection its central theme.
