	Bronte and Trudi Eds),	Stories from the Left bank and beyond. This essential collection of short stories brings together for the first time the women at the forefront of modernism. Mary Butts, Djuna Barnes, Colette, H. D., Susan Glaspell, Katherine Mansfield, Anais Nin, Dorothy Richardson, Jean Rhys and May Sinclair number amongst its host of accomplished writers. Many were English and American expatriates caught up in the artistic revolt of Paris between 1890 and 1940; others, who ventured forth in imagination only, drew on its innovative spirit. Many refuted traditional concepts of gender and sexuality, all challenged restrictive definitions of femininity.	Fair / Good 1992

	Marjorie Ed),	Short fiction by Latin American Women. The voices of great women of Latin America, many of them distinguished in their own countries but largely unrecognised abroad. The stories show the wide range of themes, images, and languages encountered in the new territories of the Latin American narrative written by women. The themes of the stories are as aclectic as the natures of these women, ranging from stories exploring love and its mysteries to stories reflecting social/political concerns and reactions to authoritarian and repressive powers and to magic-real stories which are characteristic of contemporary Latin American fiction.

Native American scholar, literary critic, poet, and novelist Paula Gunn Allen, who is herself a Laguna Pueblo Sioux Indian, became increasingly aware in her academic career that the writings of Native American's, especially women, have been marginalized by the Western literary canon. Allen set out to understand why this was so and, more importantly, to remedy the situation. The result is this powerful collection of traditional tales, biographical writings, and contemporary short stories, many by the most accomplished Native American women writing today.

	BERNARDETE & MOE Eds),	COMPANIONS OF OUR YOUTH.	Ungar	£2.95
	Jane & Phyllis,	Stories by Women for Young People's Magazines 1865-1900. American attitudes toward childhood and adolescence underwent a change during the second half of the nineteenth century - and out of that change came a new literature for young people. This is a rich sampling of it - and a picture of America as it was. This charming collection of children's stories is drawn from five of the favourite juvenile magazines of the era. Such magazines as Youth's Companion and St Nicholas achieved immense popular success. Children from pre-school to late teens, and their mothers read them and loved them. And many notable writers wrote for them. These lovely stories form a record of American taste and popular culture in the nineteenth century. And they present in fiction for the first time the 'spunky' girl who was to remain a popular heroine even as she grew to adulthood. Entertaining, humurous, patriotic, the stories say much about the way society thought it should raise its children. £1.50 P&P(UK)	Fair 1980

	Mary Ed),	Conversations between Women Writers. Collection bringing together the older generation of Virago's writers with their younger successors, who interview them, creating a wide-ranging picture of 20th-century women's writing. Novelists, journalists, poets and historians recall their childhoods and early years, and tell how the challenges and demands of everyday life interacted with their literary endeavour. Their creativity is not confined to writing, but spills over into the essence of their lives, into personal relationships, family life and politics. The voices in this book evoke a variety of cultures, classes and backgrounds and include such writers as Maya Angelou, Kathleen Dayus, Dorothy Hewett, Molly Keane, Rosamond Lehmann, Paule Marshall, Naomi Mitchison, Grace Paley, Mary Stott and Eudora Welty talking of why and when, how and where they wrote. Representing not only the range of writers published by Virago, but the tremendous variety of women's writing in this century, these memories fascinate and enlighten us in what they tell of the process of creativity. They make a valuable testament, since for some of these authors - including Phyllis Shand and Dora Russell - the interviews in this book are their last recorded statements on their life and work. £1.75 P&P(UK) (Art & Literature/Biographies/Short Stories)	Poor / Fair 1988

	Richard Ed),	Since the days of Ann Radcliffe and Mary Shelley, women have produced many of the finest ghost stories ever written, bringing to their craft the qualities of their particular experience and their history of living on the margins. Yet before the arrival of the first Virago Book of Ghost Stories (1987), the contribution of women to the genre had been neglected in the countless anthologies published. This selection reaches back in time to the sublime terrors of the nineteenth century and presents tales by Charlotte Bronte, Elizabeth Gaskell, Mary Braddon and Willa Cather among many others.
