Monsters in the Archives
A fascinating, first of its kind exploration of Stephen King and his most iconic early books, based on groundbreaking research and interviews with King - all conducted by the first scholar to be given extended access to his private archives.After Caroline Bicks was named the University of Maine's inaugural Stephen E. King Chair in Literature, she became the first scholar to be granted extended access by King to his private archives, a treasure trove of manuscripts that document the legendary writer's creative process - most of them never before studied or published. The year she spent exploring King's early drafts and hand-written revisions was guided by one question millions of King's enthralled and terrified readers (including her) have asked themselves: What makes Stephen King's writing stick in our heads and haunt us long after we've closed the book?Bicks focuses on five of his most iconic early works - The Shining, Carrie, Pet Sematary, 'Salem's Lot, and Night Shift--to reveal how he crafted his language, storylines, and characters to cast his enduring literary spells. While tracking King's margin notes and editorial changes, she discovered scenes and alternative endings that never made it to print, but that King is allowing her to publish now. The book also includes interviews Bicks had with King along the way that reveal new insights into his writing process and personal history.Part literary master class, part biography, part memoir and investigation into our deepest anxieties, Monsters in the Archives - authorized by Stephen King himself - is unlike anything ever published about the master of horror. It chronicles what Bicks found when she set out to unearth how King crafted some of his scariest, most iconic moments. But it's also a story about a grown-up English professor facing her childhood fears and getting to know the man whose monsters helped unleash them."Illuminating and original, Monsters in the Archives takes us deep into Stephen King's private papers to show us how he crafted some of his most iconic, haunting books and took possession of so many of our imaginations." -Amy Tan, author of The Joy Luck Club

Midwiving Subjects in Shakespeare’s England
The female-dominated medical discipline of midwifery in Shakespeare's day led to male-dominated tales of female incompetence and physiological obfuscation. In this study Caroline Bicks shows how Shakespeare pointed to a history of the discipline in which women wielded considerable power.

Midwiving Subjects in Shakespeare’s England
'Caroline Bicks deftly weaves together history, literature, medicine and theology to explore early modern anxieties about midwives' many roles. This book provides a rich new slant on early modern midwives, as keepers, shapers and critics of femininity and masculinity.' Dr. Helen King, Reader in the History of Classical Medicine, University of Reading 'Caroline Bicks's thorough and wide-ranging exploration of the cultural contexts of pregnancy and childbearing in Shakespeare's Britain makes for a fascinating, provocative read.' Professor Elaine Hobby, author of Virtue of Necessity: English Women's Writing 1649-1688 and Professor of Seventeenth-Century Studies, Loughborough University 'The book is broad in scope, treating an impressive array of English and Continental texts. Bicks is especially strong when tracing the cultural paradigms that defined and delimited early modern midwives, in their time and the present.' ChoiceReviews '...a compelling and thoughtful exploration...Bicks offers a well-researched and thoughtful exposition of the midwife's importance to cultural production. She clearly and at times brilliantly elucidates the midwife's participation in subject formation.' Shakespeare Quarterly '... wide-ranging and compelling... a fascinating and important study... a welcome addition to the field of early modern cultural studies, and it should be considered required reading for scholars interested in the history of early modern women.' Albion 'Caroline Bicks has crafted a generous synthesis of pre-modern writings and current scholarship treating of midwives and, more broadly, women members of the birthroom community... Her study will be useful to scholars coming from literary studies, cultural history, and history of the family... one of the gifts of this book is that its interlay of medical with Shakespearean passages allows us to read the latter for the most fleeting iridescent nuances and implications.' Clio '... illuminating analyses of midwifery
