He does not claim to be the only one who has discovered the key, but, working along the lines hinted at by some modern and many ancient seekers, he hereby presents the results of his many years of scientific research. He shows that the correct translations of the Greek and Hebrew scriptures plainly state that all the allegories and fables of these works refer to actual physiological facts; and the statements "Seek ye first the Kingdom of Heaven and all things shall be added unto you"; "The Kingdom of Heaven is within you", and "Be ye therefore perfect as your Father in Heaven is perfect" can be physiologically and chemically explained.

George Egertons Wedlock is a pioneering work of 19th Century female writing. First published in 1893, it is a story that set about detonating contemporary ideas of female purity, as well as helping to usher in modernism with its focus on interior life and refusal to adhere to contemporary writing standards.

With a new, dazzling introduction by our very own Eimear McBride, plus a variety of other interesting titbits (from a small snapshot of the trailblazing Egertons life - a woman, it seemed, who had more affairs than Casanova - to two vitriolic articles from stuffy journalists of the period), for the price of a Mars Bar you can take a taste of the strange, dated, and rather glorious work of a writer who paved the way for not only a new generation of women writers and social reformers, but also for the modernist movement. James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, Thomas Hardy - they all owe a debt to Egerton; and we are proud, in our own small way, of helping to make sure shes not forgotten. This special Galley Beggar Press edition comes with an introduction from our own new female-purity-detonating writer Eimear McBride, a short biography of Egertons remarkable life and End Notes looking at the phenomenon of the "new woman" - and its most strident critics.
