Henry James and Sexuality offers a bold, new interpretation of James' fiction. Hugh Stevens argues that James' writing contains daring and radical representations of transgressive desires and marginalized sexual identities. He demonstrates the importance of incestuous desire, masochistic fantasy, and same-sex passions in a body of fiction that ostensibly conforms to, while ironically mocking, the contemporary moral and publishing codes James faced. This original and exciting work will transform our understanding of this most enigmatic of writers.

<p>The task of getting the Gospel to every ethnic person is tremendous. There is but one solution. I'm sure that it isn't man, money, surveys, or talk. They all have their place, but if the basis isn't fervent, believing prayer, they are all in vain. Bringing prayer to the task, Cameron Townsend founded one of the world's largest mission organizations., Wycliffe Bible Translators, and its training arm, the Summer Institute of Linguistics. Townsend's singleness of vision has brought translation work, literacy, and assistance to over 850 minority language groups in close to 50 nations. Based on extensive letters, diaries, and public writings, this new biography chronicles Townsend's life, examining the grassroots work which led to the founding of a great ministry. For anyone interested in missions, history, or linguistics, Wycliffe in the Making is a clear, insightful, and faithful account of the gospel's call on one man's life.</p>
