1982235301982. Four Transvestite Fiction Booklets containing reflections on gender trans identity self expression from 1982-1994 including story titles such as "Sissy in Satin" "Living Doll" "Jim into Jamie" "Trapped in Panties" and "My Husband Married Me To be a Woman." A first-person passage states that a transvestite needs "feedback from others" to understand "gait" "voice" and "other mannerisms" while "perfecting a gender role" placing social performance and self-assessment inside the language of everyday presentation. The group emerged during a period when queer and trans communities faced AIDS-era stigma homophobic public discourse and the lingering legal and social memory of anti-crossdressing enforcement in American cities. By 1980 defendants had challenged cross-dressing arrests in at least sixteen cities while the domestic HIV/AIDS epidemic began in 1981 and intensified public hostility toward already stigmatized queer communities. These booklets preserve small-press fiction created for readers seeking transvestite crossdressing and transfeminine narratives outside mainstream publishing with fantasy plots gender transformation motifs and direct language about feminine identity appearing within the same print culture.<br /> <br /> Crossdressing and Transvestite Fiction Booklets. Seattle and s.l.: Empathy Press and unidentified publishers 1982 to 1994 and undated. Four staple-bound booklets each approximately 50 pages including two Empathy Press titles and two related transvestite or crossdressing fiction titles.<br /> 1 Slavik Charles. Skirted Men: Tales of Transvestism. Book 2. Seattle: Empathy Press 1982. The contents page lists "Sissy in Satin" beginning on page 4 with copyright credited to Charles Slavik and the publisher given as Empathy Press P.O. Box 12466 Seattle Washington 98111. Princeton cataloging identifies Charles Slavik as creator of another Empathy Press Skirted Men issue confirming the publisher's place within late twentieth-century LGBTQIA periodical and ephemera collecting.<br /> 2 TV Queens Fiction Digest. Number 23. Seattle: Empathy Press 1990. The contents page lists "Living Doll" "Jim into Jamie" and "Trapped in Panties" and the imprint invites readers to send material if they "enjoy writing and would like to see your fantasies in print." That solicitation places the digest within a participatory reader-writer circuit where fantasy manuscripts could move from private desire into small-run printed circulation.<br /> 3 Secret Pleasures: The Crossdressing Experience. Book 16. Seattle: Empathy Press 1994. The contents page gives the story title "My Husband Married Me To be a Woman" and the front cover identifies the work as "A Transvestite Fiction Fantasy." Gerber/Hart's transgender periodicals exhibit describes Cathy Charles Slavik's Empathy Press enterprise as evolving by the early 1970s into several concurrent trans-oriented magazines giving this later booklet a connection to a publisher with a longer transvestite and trans readership history.<br /> 4 Silky Slip-Ups. S.l.: s.n. undated. The cover caption reads "Coming out. Caught out. Found out. BUT EVENTUAL ECSTACY" using discovery exposure and eventual pleasure as the narrative promise. The cover art and title align the booklet with forced-feminization and crossdressing fiction conventions described in trans small-press fiction where many plots turn on coerced dressing transformation or power exchange.<br /> <br /> The booklets use the historical vocabulary of "transvestism" "crossdressing" "feminine identity" and "gender role" before "transgender" became the dominant umbrella term in many public and archival contexts. Their contents connect erotic fantasy to questions of passing social recognition voice gait coming out exposure and reader participation making the group especially useful for tracing how trans and crossdressing readers articulated identity through small-format fiction during the 1980s and 1990s. All four booklets are in very good condition with intact spines minor price-sticker residue light discoloration and handling wear to the covers. The group preserves an early small-press record of transvestite and crossdressing fiction made around the desires anxieties vocabulary and self-fashioning practices of its own readership. unknown

The story deals with the escape of Charles II in 1652 during the Commonwealth and his final triumphant entry into London on 29 May 1660. David Hume's HISTORY OF ENGLAND gave Scott most of the historical background.<br> As with all the Waverley novels prior to 1827 WOODSTOCK was published anonymously.

This is a Georgian medieval epic poem, written in the 12th century by Georgia's national poet Shota Rustaveli, and a definitive work of the Georgian Golden Age, the poem consists of over 1600 Rustavelian Quatrains and is considered to be a "masterpiece of the Georgian literature". Original decorative green cloth bdg. with Rustaveli's embossed portrait. Art-nouveau borders on board. Faded titles and decorations on spine. A very good copy. 4to. (27 x 20 cm). In Russian.

Shalva Nutshubidze, (1888-1969), was a Georgian philosopher, translator, and public benefactor, one of the founders of the Tbilisi State University (TSU), founder of Alethology. The main fields of scientific activity of Shalva Nutsubidze were: alethology, history of Georgian philosophy, history of the old Georgian literature, Rustvelology, problems of the oriental renaissance. He was also a well-known translator: he translated The Knight in the Panther's Skin of Shota Rustaveli, Visramiani, and other outstanding literary works in Russian. Nutsubidze is co-author of a well-known theory about the identity of Pseudo-Denys Areopagite and Georgian philosopher of the 5th century Peter the Iberian (Theory of Nutsubidze-Honigmann).

19357180Minneapolis 1935. 7 typewritten pages with manuscript edits and 6 holograph pages recto only in pencil in Wandrei's hand. Light edge wear and a few smudges to the typed pages few corner bends and edge chips to the handwritten pages but generally very good. <br /> <br /> An interesting manuscript from Donald Wandrei of the Weird Tales Circle being an unfinished screenplay based on his story "The Monster from Nowhere." The tale was first published in Munsey's Argosy November 23 1935 and later was collected in The Eye and the Finger published by Arhkam House in 1944. <br /> <br /> <br /> This script consists of about a dozen scenes mostly detailing the shots scenery and characters with a bit of dialogue and lines for a narrator. The manuscript pages are quite descriptive especially in detailing the nightmarish scene where a dead body floats down the road propelled by an unseen force. This theme of existential horror and the blurring of real and unreal are typical of the Weird Tales genre and it is a shame this screenplay was neither finished nor produced. <br /> <br /> We find manuscript material from Wandrei to be quite scarce. An excellent item from the Lovecraft circle. . unknown
