Flossie är en av den viktorianska erotikens största klassiker. Den gavs ut första gången 1897 och har sedan dess kommit i en mängd nyutgåvor och översättningar, samt även filmatiserats några gånger. Vertigo förlag har släppt romanen som nummer tretton i serien Vertigos erotiska klassiker. Att romanen skildrar den sexuella relationen mellan en sextonårig flicka och en tjugo år äldre man tycks inte ha stört någon. Kanske smittar textens ytterligt glada och lekfulla humör. Dessutom finns där något förföriskt i alla anspelningarna på mystik och extas. I många utgåvor av Flossie har den engelske poeten Swinburne utpekats som författare, kanske för att ett utdrag ur en av hans dikter inleder boken. Dock ger stiljämförelser inga belägg för detta, tvärtom. I denna utgåva har Malte Persson gjort en vacker översättning av diktutdraget. Arne Häggqvist (1911-1995) var författare till och översättare av en lång rad verk och introducerade många framstående författarskap i Sverige. Hans översättning av Flossie kom 1965. Inför Vertigos utgåva är översättningen reviderad mot originaltexten av C/M Edenborg.

Migration, Community and Identity analyses experiences of migration to rural Wales from 1965 to 1980. It focuses on people who were part of the era’s counterculture, looking for an escape from mainstream society. Using original interviews, the book shows why people moved and how the move shaped their lives and identities. Drawing together geographical and historical research, this book explores the significance of this migration phenomenon. It provides a unique insight into late-twentieth-century Welsh society and shines a new light on the counterculture itself. Through analysing the experience of life in Wales and ongoing developments in the migrants’ sense of identity, it argues that rather than being a uniform group, the counterculture encompassed a diverse range of beliefs and aspirations. The book will be suitable for upper-level undergraduates and above. The broad range of themes covered in this book is relevant not only to rural and historical geographers and migration researchers but also to those interested in sociology, anthropology, and the modern history of Britain and Wales. The theories and concepts discussed have global appeal and will be of interest to those studying similar migration phenomena elsewhere.
