"The Inimitable" Charles Dickens captured the ethos of Victorian England in his writing and was undeniably a celebrated author--indeed a celebrity author--in his own time. With writing that ranged from hilarious caricature to gritty social realism, he managed to effectively blend entertainment with wide-ranging social critique. No element of Victorian society was spared, as his novels put the spotlight on class structures, education, industrialization and urbanization, the legal system, attitudes toward the poor and orphans, gender relations, and global networks. This keen exploration of social issues speaks to 21st century readers, and a continued interest in Dickensian characters, plots, and themes motivated this updated guide for students, teachers, and fans alike. This companion to Dickens's major works carefully curates material relating to the author's life and times to allow deeper engagement with his Victorian era writings. Entries covering each of Dickens's major works include

Slavery in Early Modern Philosophy 1500-1765 contains thirty-four philosophical texts about slavery composed in Europe and America between 1500 and 1765. These readings demonstrate that debates about slavery deserve a central place in the history of philosophy, and are crucial for understanding early modern moral and political philosophy, as well as the development of the concept of race and the history of racism. Included here are many previously unpublished and newly translated texts that discuss various aspects of slavery and represent many different perspectives. Some treat slavery as a purely theoretical issue, others explicitly examine transatlantic slavery, the enslavement of American Indians, or other specific historical institutions. Some criticize slavery, others defend it. Some focus on ethical or political questions, others on epistemological or psychological ones. Some explore the general permissibility of enslavement, others the morality of slave rebellions or the obligat

Ikat Textiles of Timor offers an in-depth overview of regional textile styles from both West and East Timor, while also contributing significant new insights into their design traditions. In academic literature, the ikated men’s wraps from Timor have long been described as symmetrical. However, Dr Peter ten Hoopen’s examination of early examples from museums and private collections reveals that, historically, two thirds of these textiles were actually asymmetrical. This discovery challenges an academic consensus that has persisted since 1912, and highlights a previously overlooked level of creative ingenuity—inviting greater admiration for the women who wove these complex designs.Today’s ikat weavers on Timor, like many foreign scholars before them, seem unaware that asymmetry was once a dominant design principle. Many continue to assert that perfect symmetry has always been the tradition. Yet the historical textiles tell a different story. Ten Hoopen’s groundbreaking findings justify
