Victims of Trafficking
The British state claims to pride itself on the treatment afforded to victims of trafficking. It claims to be a world leader in the treatment of victims. So why does it fail so many of them? Why is it that the first time many victims of trafficking have their trafficking status raised in the criminal courts, they are appealing against a wrongful conviction that came about because of their status as a victim of trafficking?In this book we provide a user-friendly guide aimed at practitioners working on criminal appeals for victims of trafficking. A reader who picks up the book today should be able to put it down fully armed for how to deal with trafficking cases right through from arrest to appeal. It is our intention to prepare the reader not just for trafficking appeals, but to recognise trafficking cases, and the arguments that can be used in them, before anything goes wrong. In this way, we hope to show both how trafficking victims are failed, but also how to stop such failures from happening. By preventing and overturning the wrongful convictions of trafficking victims we can prevent the further traumatisation of victims, and prevent the creation of an environment which facilitates trafficking.Stephen Knight and Margo Munro Kerr are barristers at One Pump Court Chambers specialising in crime, immigration, and public law. Much of their work is focussed on how the intersection of these areas of law can assist victims of trafficking to escape and recover from the further oppression they suffer as a result of the actions of the British state and legal system.CONTENTSPART ONE: AN OVERVIEW OF TRAFFICKING1.

Nature and Medieval Literature
An account of the varying responses to nature found in major medieval literature. Nature and Medieval Literature investigates medieval writers who explore natural themes but also critique the human world through the patterns of nature. Starting with a consideration of ecological criticism in general, it shows how Welsh, French, and English authors deal differently with the Peredur/Perceval story. It then embarks on full-chapter studies of the treatment of nature in a range of major authors and texts: the work of Chaucer, then the Scottish Chaucerians, Dunbar and Henryson, the medieval and early modern outlaw myths (mostly about Robin Hood), the medieval English romances, and finally, a range of medieval English lyrics. In each case, it is shown how the texts at times represent the actual forces and patterns of the natural and animal worlds, but how in other cases--and sometimes overlapping with an understanding of nature itself--authors can use the natural and animal world as a basis for a critique of the human and increasingly urban world of the medieval period.

Wilkie Collins
This book provides the first comprehensive overview of the complete works of Wilkie Collins's. Examining his vast array of novels and short stories, this volume includes analysis of the social, historical, and political commentary Collins offered within his works, illuminating Collins as more than a successful crime and sensation author, or the fortunate recipient of Dicken's grand patronage, but as a hard-thinking and lively-writing part of the rich mid-Victorian literary scene. Overall, Collins is seen as a master of narratives which deal with social and personal issues that were much debated in his fifty-year authorial period. Close attention is paid to the events, themes, and characterization in his fiction, revealing his analytic vigor and the literary power of that period and context. Delivering fresh insight into the variety and richness of Collins' themes and arguments, this volume provides a key source of information and analysis on all Collins' fiction.

G. W. M. Reynolds and His Fiction
George Reynolds is arguably the most prolific of all nineteenth-century English novelists, reaching an enormous audience through his thirty-six novels. Often selling in very large numbers in weekly one-penny installments, his works were known as by the most popular English novelist ever. Yet today, he remains almost unknown in the canon of English Literature.A serious radical, strongly pro-woman, and a leading Chartist seeking the vote for all men, Reynolds' vigorous heroines differ notably from the Victorian novelists' timid norm. He was strongly pro-Jewish and pro-Gypsy, very interested in French and Italian society, but wrote for ordinary English working people. Dickens thought him a dangerous leftist: for all these reasons, he was excluded from the elite literary world.G. W. M. Reynolds: The Man Who Outsold Dickens reestablishes Reynolds as a major figure of mid-nineteenth-century fiction and an author of European range and status. This book examines his massive popularity and notable concern with the problems of ordinary people, especially women, in the complex and often dangerous new world of the modern city. With the support of his wife Susannah, Reynolds' enormous influence would also make a contribution to the cause of mass political education through his role in the development of popular fiction and journalism. This book is a major innovation in the field of Victorian literary studies, with relevance to popular cultural studies, the politics of literature, and publishing history, presenting properly a much overlooked major English novelist.
