"Virtue and Venom 'traces a general history of ., . the catalog of women - focusing especially on ... the close of the Middle Ages' (1). McLeod defines catalogs of women as 'lists - sometimes found in other works, sometimes found alone - enumerating pagan and (sometimes) Christian heroines who jointly define a notion of femineity'. The assumption that the women included in catalogs 'define a notion of femineity, ' a term she uses to rid her book of the connotations of 'femininity', is central to McLeod's study. ...

Love is the sweetest venom. Lawrence I told her I wanted her body and not her love. I lied. Ronan I fell in love with a lie... She was beauty and destruction. Kissing her was a tender song.

And there's no end in sight.

Book Description
The Golden Bough describes our ancestors' primitive methods of worship, sex practices, strange rituals and festivals. Disproving the popular thought that primitive life was simple, this monumental survey shows that savage man was enmeshed in a tangle of magic, taboos, and superstitions. Revealed here is the evolution of man from savagery to civilization, from the modification of his weird and often bloodthirsty customs to the entry of lasting moral, ethical, and spiritual values.

Book Description
Testing the boundaries between food, poison and medicine is a public show made into a continuing drama of risk and survival. This book is the first to explore the tradition of deliberate poison eating, its practitioners, and the substances that might nourish or kill them. Readers interested in the human history of drugs and medicine, in feats of endurance usually survived and in the play of controlling and regulatory authorities that always accompanies drug and poison use will find Poison Eaters especially appealing.

Book Description
The Golden Bough is a wide-ranging, comparative study of mythology and religion, written by the Scottish anthropologist Sir James George Frazer. The book documents and details the similarities among magical and religious beliefs around the globe. Frazer attempted to define the shared elements of religious belief and scientific thought, discussing fertility rites, human sacrifice, the dying god, the scapegoat, and many other symbols and practices whose influences had extended into 20th-century culture. His thesis is that old religions were fertility cults that revolved around the worship and periodic sacrifice of a sacred king. Frazer proposed that mankind progresses from magic through religious belief to scientific thought. The influence of The Golden Bough on contemporary European literature and thought is substantial.
