Book Description
In early twentieth-century U.S. culture, sex sold. While known mainly for its social reforms, the Progressive Era was also obsessed with prostitution, sexuality, and the staging of women’s changing roles in the modern era. By the 1910s, plays about prostitution (or “brothel dramas”) had inundated Broadway, where they sometimes became long-running hits and other times sparked fiery obscenity debates. In Sex for Sale, Katie N. Johnson recovers six of these plays, presenting them with astute cultural analysis, photographs, and production histories. The result is a new history of U.S. theatre that reveals the brothel drama’s crucial role in shaping attitudes toward sexuality, birth control, immigration, urbanization, and women’s work. The volume includes the work of major figures including Eugene O’Neill, John Reed, Rachel Crothers, and Elizabeth Robins. Now largely forgotten and some previously unpublished, these plays were among the most celebrated and debated productions of their day. Together, their portrayals of commercialized vice, drug addiction, poverty, white slavery, and interracial desire reveal the Progressive Era’s fascination with the underworld and the theatre’s power to regulate sexuality. Additional plays, commentary, and teaching materials are available at brotheldrama.lib.miamioh.edu. Plays included: Ourselves (1913) by Rachel Crothers The Web (1913) by Eugene O’Neill My Little Sister (1913) by Elizabeth Robins Moondown (1915) by John Reed Cocaine (1916) by Pendleton King A Shanghai Cinderella (renamed East is West, 1918) by Samuel Shipman and John B. Hymer

Book Description
After three years, Jace Montgomery is still grieving over his fiancee Stacy's mysterious suicide. He hasn't even been on a date since her passing, and her family still blames him for her death. While flipping through one of her old paperbacks, Jace discovers a clipping stuck between the pages bearing the cryptic message, 'Ours again. Together forever. See you there.' The note is dated the day before her death. Possessed by the opportunity to possibly understand Stacy's suicide, Jace seeks out the property on the front of the clipping - Priory House, a big brick fortress in Margate - and buys it. But Jace soon discovers that the house is haunted by a headstrong ghost, Ann Stuart. Ann died under circumstances similar to his late fiancee, and he begins to believe that there is a connection between the two. Through his investigations Jace is forced to reconcile his wife's life and her death. What follows is a satisfying and seductive discovery of both time and love by one of America's favourite storytellers.
