Hard to Get is a powerful and intimate examination of the sex and love lives of the most liberated women in history-twenty-something American women who have had more opportunities, more positive role models, and more information than any previous generation. Drawing from her years of experience as a researcher and a psychotherapist, Leslie C. Bell takes us directly into the lives of young women who struggle to negotiate the complexities of sexual desire and pleasure, and to make sense of their historically unique but contradictory constellation of opportunities and challenges. In candid interviews, Bell's subjects reveal that, despite having more choices than ever, they face great uncertainty about desire, sexuality, and relationships. Ground-breaking and highly readable, Hard to Get offers fascinating insights into the many ways that sex, love, and satisfying relationships prove surprisingly elusive to these young women as they navigate the new emotional landscape of the 21st century.

Performing Disability in Early Modern English Drama investigates the cultural work done by early modern theatrical performances of disability. Proffering an expansive view of early modern disability in performance, the contributors suggest methodologies for finding and interpreting it in unexpected contexts. The volume also includes essays on disabled actors whose performances are changing the meanings of disability in Shakespeare for present-day audiences. By combining these two areas of scholarship, this text makes a unique intervention in early modern studies and disability studies alike. Ultimately, the volume generates a conversation that locates and theorizes the staging of particular disabilities within their historical and literary contexts while considering continuity and change in the performance of disability between the early modern period and our own. .

This volume, a tribute to François Gros and a celebration of the field of Tamil studies, demonstrates the international nature of this area and its wide range of topics. The contributors stem from sixteen different countries. They are literary historians and critics, philologists, linguists, cultural anthropologists, political and social historians, archaeologists, epigraphists, numismatists, art and architecture historians, some of them assuming two of these guises, and some having an interest in related languages: Irula, Kannada, Malayalam and Telugu. However there is much linkage and this "connexité dans la diversité" binds the different contributions together. François Gros has been the principal standard-bearer for Tamil studies in France. He has also devoted himself to the re-establishment of the École Française d’Extrême-Orient in countries of Southeast Asia. Among his other responsibilities has been the directorship for Tamil studies at the Institut Français in Pondicherry. Ce volume, hommage à François Gros et célébration du champ des études tamoules, montre la nature internationale de ce domaine et sa largeur. Les participants proviennent de 16 pays. Les disciplines concernées sont : histoire et critique littéraire, philologie, linguistique, anthropologie culturelle, histoire politique et sociale, archéologie, épigraphie, numismatique, histoire de l’art et de l’architecture. Certaines des contributions sont à cheval entre elles, et certaines concernent des langues voisines : Irula, Kannada, Malayalam et Telugu, tandis qu’une “connexité dans la diversité” fait l’unité du volume. François Gros a été le principal représentant des études tamoules en France. Il s’est également consacré, comme directeur, à la réinstallation de l’École Française d’Extrême-Orient dans les pays d’Asie du Sud-Est. Il a aussi été responsable scientifique de la section de tamoul à l’Institut Français de Pondichéry.
