In Suffering in Paradise, Rebecca Totaro provides a unique and timely discussion of the bubonic plague as it shaped Literary Studies in England from 1500 through the first half of the eighteenth century. Within the experience and accounts of bubonic plague, men and women found their own understanding of the body, of the human relationship with nature, and of the degree to which they had faith in their nation and their God. An early modern writer's reading of the plague shows us in detail what he or she believes to be the parameters within which life is lived. Focusing on the broadest of these parameters, Totaro examines hope and despair as displayed within a range of imaginary realms designed to include and control the bubonic plague. Each of the works in this study--Thomas More's Utopia, William Shakespeare's Timon of Athens, Ben Jonson's The Alchemist, Francis Bacon's The New Atlantis, Margaret Cavendish's The Blazing World, and John Milton's Paradise Lost--provides literary and English answers that cohere in stunning form and resonate today.

"This narrative non-fiction tells the story of how the medical community and civic leaders in Los Angeles worked to stop the highly-contagious Black Plague in 1924. It highlights the work of the doctor, nurse, and priest at the center of the outbreak and how politics, racism, and greed delayed its resolution"--

Gin is a computer hacker and Traveler for the Department of Parallel and Otherdimensional Travel, a top-secret black-ops program run out of Area 51. In a world called Paradise—which in her opinion is anything but—her team is attacked by a citizen turned Savage. The mysterious disease is affecting the population, and nobody seems to know how to cure it, or even how it's spread. Paradise's Central Computer surely has all the answers to help them protect themselves and save the afflicted. But the Paradisian government has put the Computer in lock-down, and short of storming the building, there's no way they'll be allowed in.When a teammate falls sick with the Savagery, Gin knows the best teams in two worlds are working on the cure, but their efforts fall short. The team's choices are reduced to one: hack the Computer and learn how to save their teammate. But as it's the most safe-guarded building in any world, that's easier said than done. She'll need the help of the Chief of Constables, Tamory Landish, to even have a chance at getting in. Her only problem is that he's even more dangerous than the Savage. He's the one man that could steal from her, and the only thing she has to lose is her heart.When another Traveler dies from the disease, they know time is running out. But can a former con artist ever trust a cop? If Gin can learn to work with Tamory, not only could she end up with a cure for the Savagery, but the only man in the multiverse who's her match. But trust isn't something con artists do. Is it?

David Ratcliffe is typical of many people in this world as he works to survive and drinks to forget. In his case he is a journalist for the London Daily but has never achieved enough in his life to be classed as one of the best. He has, however, perfected the art of getting by with just enough effort to please his fiery editor Dai and not much more. By chance he is assigned to a pro-am golf tournament in Florida and hopes to do little more than see a few rounds of golf and sit by the pool and drink. No chance! With a backdrop of the Everglades and the Kennedy Space Centre, things quickly change as he gets sucked into an adventure that is set to change his life.

The Plague Epic in Early Modern England: Heroic Measures, 1603-1721 presents together, for the first time, modernized versions of ten of the most poignant of plague poems in the English language - each composed in heroic verse and responding to the urgent need to justify the ways of God in times of social, religious, and political upheaval. Showcasing unusual combinations of passion and restraint, heart-rending lamentation and nation-building fervor, these poems function as literary memorials to the plague-time fallen. In an extended introduction, Rebecca Totaro makes the case that these poems belong to a distinct literary genre that she calls the 'plague epic.' Because the poems are formally and thematically related to Milton's great epics Paradise Lost and Paradise Regained, this volume represents a rare discovery of previously unidentified sources of great value for Milton studies and scholarly research into the epic, didactic verse, cultural studies of the seventeenth century, illness as metaphor, and interdisciplinary approaches to illness, natural disaster, trauma, and memory.

This collection offers readers a timely encounter with the historical experience of people adapting to a pandemic emergency and the corresponding narrative representation of that crisis, as early modern writers transformed the plague into literature. The essays examine the impact of the plague on health, politics, and religion as well as on the plays, prose fiction, and plague bills that stand as witnesses to the experience of a society devastated by contagious disease. Readers will find physicians and moralists wrestling with the mysteries of the disease; erotic escapades staged in plague-time plays; the poignant prose works of William Bullein and Thomas Dekker; the bodies of monarchs who sought to protect themselves from plague; the chameleon-like nature of the plague as literal disease and as metaphor; and future strains of plague, literary and otherwise, which we may face in the globally-minded, technology-dependent, and ecologically-awakened twenty-first century. The bubonic plague compelled change in all aspects of lived experience in Early Modern England, but at the same time, it opened space for writers to explore new ideas and new literary forms—not all of them somber or horrifying and some of them downright hilarious. By representing the plague for their audiences, these writers made an epidemic calamity intelligible: for them, the dreaded disease could signify despair but also hope, bewilderment but also a divine plan, quarantine but also liberty, death but also new life.
