Michael Field
Decadent Moderns
As “Michael Field,” Katharine Bradley and Edith Cooper conversed with fin-de-siècle aesthetic movements and twentieth-century modernism, articulated ideas associated with the New Woman, and expressed queer desire.

Ambivalent

The Politics of Disease Control
Sleeping Sickness in Eastern Africa, 1890–1920

Africa Every Day
Fun, Leisure, and Expressive Culture on the Continent
