The Experiences and Needs of Younger Couples Affected by Prostate Cancer: a Qualitative Study
No full textBackground: Prostate cancer (PCa) is often referred to as an illness affecting ‘older men, however the prevalence amongst younger men (aged ≤65) is rising. Illness- related stressors impact upon both members of the couple (man with PCa and partner/wife), and on their relationships, yet little is known about how younger couples are affected. This thesis aimed to explore the experiences and needs of younger couples affected by PCa, with a view to informing intervention development and service provision. Methods: Participants were recruited from respondents to a national study (Life After Prostate Cancer Diagnosis (LAPCD)), who indicated on the LAPCD questionnaire their willingness to be interviewed. Qualitative, semi-structured telephone interviews were separately conducted with twenty-eight couples (56 participants). Data were analysed using the Framework Method. Findings: Couples’ experienced transitions due to the impact of PCa in their relationships, parental and familial roles, work and finances. Connections with other people and social activities were also sometimes affected. Couples experienced challenges navigating their way through treatment decision making and finding the information and support they needed. Couples’ engaged in a range of different strategies and behaviours which influenced their adjustment to PCa and subsequently impacted upon the evolution of their identity as a couple. Conclusions: This thesis has made a new contribution to knowledge by identifying the many challenges younger couples affected by PCa experience and describing their adjustment processes. Two key areas where support should be directed to younger couples were identified: 1) couple focused support programme to foster relationship strategies/behaviours that facilitate couple adjustment; 2) age-specific support, e.g. ‘buddying systems’ connecting younger couples affected by PCa together; tailored information and self-management strategies for younger couples (written/online/app)
The Role of George Henry Lewes in George Eliot’s Career: A Reconsideration
No full textThis article examines the “protection” and “encouragement” George Henry Lewes provided to Eliot throughout her fiction-writing career. According to biographers, Lewes showed his selfless devotion to Eliot by encouraging her to begin and continue writing fiction; by fostering the mystery of her authorship; by managing her finances; by negotiating her publishing contracts; by managing her schedule; by hosting a salon to promote her books; and by staying close by her side for twenty-four years until death parted them. By reconsidering each element of Lewes’s devotion separately, Rilett challenges the prevailing construction of the Eliot–Lewes relationship as the ideal partnership of literary agent and author and the perfect marriage. Rilett’s revisionist interpretation seeks to open up Eliot’s fiction to productive new biographical readings for a new generation of scholars

"What do I think of glory?": On Middlemarch by George Eliot
No full text"What do I think of Middlemarch? What do I think of glory?" This is the famous reply Emily Dickinson wrote to her bookish cousins in 1873 after her first reading of George Eliot’s novel. Dickinson’s sentiments were also my own when I completed my first reading of Middlemarch (1871–1872), about thirty-five years ago. Middlemarch is the book that made me realize literature could be more than a source of entertainment, that it could be Art with a capital A. Here was a text with fascinating and seemingly limitless possibilities for interpretation that would continue to reward scrutiny. Of course, I didn’t come up with that assessment entirely on my own. Since its publication, Middlemarch has ranked among the world’s most popular and highly acclaimed literary works. It was one of the staples of Victorian literature courses and was essential reading for English majors at Queen’s University in Canada, where I completed two undergraduate degrees. Even before I learned that “George Eliot” was the pseudonym of a female writer, Mary Ann Evans, I’d been conditioned to recognize her name as part of the canon of Great Authors, a list dominated by male writers such as Homer, Chaucer, Shakespeare, Conrad, and Joyce. I still meet people all the time who have heard of Middlemarch as one of the world’s best-loved novels and know George Eliot is the author but don’t know she was a woman, let alone the most successful woman writer of the Victorian era. Knowing a book is on the “should read” list and actually reading it are two entirely different things, and I must confess I never did make it all the way through Tolstoy’s War and Peace. Reading Middlemarch, however, turned out to be life-changing, igniting my passion for Victorian literature and for George Eliot in particular. What I hope to convey here is how and why this Victorian novel and its author continue to inspire me.Publishe
In Conversation with Beverley Naidoo: On Crossing Boundaries through Reading and Writing

More than slightly mad : Beverley Nichols and the Merry Hall Trilogy.
No full textThis essay analyses Beverley Nichols’s Merry Hall trilogy—frequently dismissed as ‘garden writing’—as an often overlooked form of queer literature. Using Jack Halberstam’s theories about queer failure, this essay examines the ways in which the now relatively obscure author was able to commodify himself and his lifestyle for a specific audience. In so doing, the author argues, he attempted to further the cause of queer acceptance in the process, even to the detriment of what some consider could have been a more important or worthwhile career
