 | Chloe Plus Olivia: An Anthology of Lesbian Literature from the 17th Century to the Present | This text explores lesbian sensibility in 20th century fiction. From the verse of Sappho in 600 BC to Radclyffe Hall's "The Well of Loneliness", published in 1928, there is little women's writing that is recognised as "lesbian". It is short because while romantic friendship between women was an accepted social institution from the Renaissance to the 19th century, and sex between women appears to have been a staple of pornography since the incarnation of that genre, the possibility of seeing oneself as "a lesbian" had to wait until the emergence of English sexologists in the last decades of the 19th century, who defined lesbianism as a social and sexual category. If by "lesbian literature" we mean work in which the subject of lesbianism is the centre, the history is even shorter. Is there a "lesbian sensibility" that can be identified in literature that may not be concerned specifically with lesbian sexuality?

 | Galleons and Gangplanks | Pirates! Rapiers! Cannons and flintlocks! These are all the idea behind Galleons and Gangplanks. Bringing back the days when pirates ruled the high seas, this collection of stories has no shortage of adventure, danger, and excitement. From Sean Michael comes Searching the Seas, a story about an honest man kidnapped by pirates, used as collateral for a trade between the pirates and the seaside village at their mercy.

Julia Talbot's The White City takes on the Barbary Coast, with a legendary privateer meeting his match in an Algerian sheik. But who is the captor and who is the slave in this game of cat and mouse that runs from the sun baked streets of Algiers to the waves beyond the shore? Mychael Black's Fool's Gold is a romp in the best pirate tradition. Searching for his father's lost gold, a young man teams up with a salty veteran to ... | ||

 | The Other Persuasion: The Homosexual Theme in Fiction | A collection of short stories on gay themes by some of the world's most famous writers, including Marcel Proust, Radclyffe Hall, William Faulkner, James Purdy, E. M. Forster, D. H. Lawrence, Gertrude Stein and Gore Vidal. The selection is arranged chronologically, which to some extent demonstrates the changing outlook towards gay life - both for gays and the rest of society. As it was published in the 1970s it stops short of today's greater openness and acceptance, but many stories - even the cliched ones centred on gay bar life or frustrated desire - could still have resonance today for gays growing up in small towns or rural societies, where attitudes are slow to change. | ||
