Part personal history, part biography, Dotter of Her Father''s Eyes contrasts two comingofage narratives: that of Lucia, the daughter of James Joyce, and that of author Mary Talbot, daughter of the eminent Joycean scholar James S. Atherton. Social expectations and gender politics, thwarted ambitions and personal tragedy are played out against two contrasting historical backgrounds, poignantly evoked by the atmospheric visual storytelling of awardwinning graphicnovel pioneer Bryan Talbot. Produced through an intense collaboration seldom seen between writers and artists, Dotter of Her Father''s Eyes is smart, funny, and sadan essential addition to the evolving genre of graphic memoir. * Bryan Talbot is recognized worldwide as one of the true original voices in graphic fiction. * Bryan Talbot''s Grandville Mon Amour was nominated for a 2011 Hugo Award.

Follows the fortunes of a common housemaid swept up in the feminist militancy of early 20th century Edwardian Britain. As the growing hunger for change grows within a culture of rigid social mores and class barriers, Sally and thousands like her rise up to break the bonds of oppression at the risk of ostracization and violence.

In this book, Mary Talbot shows how fiction works in the constitution and reproduction of social life. She discusses both `high'' and `low'' fiction, combining discussion of social context with language analysis. Examples are taken from children''s tales, romance, horror and science in her language analysis.

The creative partnership of acclaimed writer and academic Mary M. Talbot and graphic-novel pioneer Bryan Talbot has produced some of the most challenging and entertaining graphic novels in recent memory, including 2012''s Costa Award medalist Dotter of Her Father''s Eyes. The Red Virgin and the Vision of Utopia explores the life of revolutionary French feminist Louise Michel, a visionary teacher, poet, and radical who took up arms against a reactionary regime that executed thousands. Even deportation to a distant penal colony could not stop Michel from taking up the cause of the indigenous population against French colonial oppression.

From acclaimed writer/historian Mary M Talbot and graphic-novel pioneer Bryan Talbot comes Rain, a chronicle of the growing relationship of two young women, one an environmental activist, set against the backdrop of the disastrous 2015 floods in northern England. The wild Brontë moorlands are being criminally mismanaged as crops are being poisoned, and birds and animals are being slaughtered. While the characters are fictional, the tragedy is shockingly real. Rain is the fourth graphic-novel collaboration between Mary M Talbot and husband Bryan Talbot, a partnership that has produced the award winning Dotter of Her Father''s Eyes, Sally Heathcote: Suffragette (with Kate Charlesworth), and The Red Virgin and the Vision of Utopia.

A new perspective on the 1930s Paris art scene from a neglected artist, feminist icon, and influential surrealist Reluctant muse and feminist champion--heiress, rebel, refugee--and perhaps the last of the great surrealist artists, Leonora Carrington played many roles in her long and extraordinary life. Exchanging her privileged upbringing in prewar England for the more exciting elite of Paris''s 1930s avant-garde, she comes to rub shoulders (and more) with the likes of Pablo Picasso, Man Ray, and Salvador Dalí after embarking on a complicated love affair with Max Ernst. But the demons that have both haunted and inspired her work are gathering, and when the world goes mad with the outbreak of war and the Nazi invasion, Leonora''s own hold on reality collapses into a terrifying psychotic episode of her own. Eventually fleeing war-torn Europe, she emerges into a new and richly creative life in Mexico City, establishing herself as a prodigious painter, writer, and advocate of women''s rights. This new work by the acclaimed partnership of Mary and Bryan Talbot celebrates the life and career of a truly remarkable artist and woman.

Six teams of major names in European comics and graphic novels collaborate on a single narrative--an environmentally-themed graphic novel in collaboration with the Edinburgh International Book Festival to mark its 30th anniversary. IDP (short for "internally displaced person or persons") imagines a Scotland 30 years in the future. The story, divided into six chapters, follows the catastrophic effects of a small rise in sea levels on the country''s heavily populated low lying areas and how society reimagines itself in the face of a huge population shift in a world of scarce resources.

A graphic novel from the award-winning creative duo Mary M. Talbot and Bryan Talbot about Mary Wollstonecraft, foundational feminist philosopher and author "It is time to effect a revolution in female manners--time to restore to them their dignity." In the Age of Revolutions, with many movements springing up to demand greater liberties for mankind, Mary Wollstonecraft spoke out for the other "one-half of the human race": that of womankind. Over 20 years before her daughter, Mary Shelly, created the science-fiction genre with Frankenstein, Wollstonecraft''s 1792 manifesto, Vindication of the Rights of Woman, took the world by storm. Forthright and fearless, she mingled with other radical thinkers of her time and traveled widely. In the same year she published her magnum opus, she even ventured alone to Paris during the Reign of Terror. This graphic biography of the then-controversial and now-legendary Wollstonecraft comes from the creative partnership of Mary M. Talbot and Bryan Talbot, the award-winning duo behind Dotter of Her Father''s Eyes, Sally Heathcote: Suffragette, and Armed with Madness.
