Years of working in the area of penal abolition have developed Ruth Morris's thinking on justice issues. In 'Stories of Transformative Justice', she outlines why the current adversarial system of justice fails victims, offenders, their families, and ultimately society in general. Citing stories from Canada, the United States, New Zealand, Australia, and Aboriginal communities around the world, Morris shows there is another path that can transform misery victimisation and punishment into new opportunities for healing and understanding. An inspiring work which proves that 'turning the other cheek' holds the power of transformation.

Stories of Transformative Justice

This work is a comparative reading of Mary Elizabeth Braddon s The Doctor s Wife (1864) with its source text, Gustave Flaubert s Madame Bovary (1857). The study argues that the geotheories prevalent in England and France at the time each of the respective novels was written offer compelling reasons to understand why the two novels diverge so dramatically. There is a consideration of Charles Darwin s On the Origin of Species and Georges Cuvier s work in catastrophism. The focus of the discussion is on Braddon s work with Flaubert s novel being used to show the points of contrast. 
 The study considers how Braddon's novel is an anglicized adaptation of the French novel and how Braddon changes her work in order to make it appealing to an English audience. This is examined by reading the novel through a variety of different contexts, including the political, the legal, and the medical, as science is only one of the strands through which the novel reflects English notions of geotheory. In addition to studying The Doctor s Wife, there are also references from 51 of Braddon s other novels and collections to consider the evolutionary strand throughout her works.

(Her novels were)...brilliant, lively, ingenious and destitute of a single ray of sentiment. Henry James on M.E.Braddon This scholarly monograph offers new research on Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Braddon (1835-1916) who wrote over eighty novels and rivaled Charles Dickens and Wilkie Collins in popularity in mid and late Victorian times. The study looks at the representations of Yorkshire across over thirty of her novels and analyses her uses of the Yorkshire dialect, her Yorkshire settings and specific towns and cities in the county (Braddon mentions more than 25 of these by name). It provides both an overview of her work and also contains some in-depth study of specific novels (including the best-seller Aurora Floyd). The study spans a significant time frame (over sixty years) to analyse how depictions of the county change. As well as looking at Braddon's work, it also considers the representations of Yorkshire by other prominent nineteenth-century writers including Elizabeth Gaskell, Edward Bulwer-Lytton and George Eliot amongst others. Place has an important role in sensation fiction, of which Braddon was a major exponent, much praised and pilloried by critics in her time. . The domestic setting of many of her novels was one reason why the genre was so heavily criticized. There are no studies which look at Braddon's engagement with Yorkshire which is surprising as Braddon lived in the county for a period, and had her first novel produced by a Yorkshire publisher. This study aims to fill the gap in scholarship on this subject and elaborate on Yorkshire's unique place in 19c English popular fiction.Academica Press is an independent scholarly press specializing in publishing monographs and reference material in the humanities and social sciences.
