  • The City of Shadows
    Charles Beadle / Rob Couteau / ROBERT Couteau
    The 1908 Battle of Marrakech forms the narrative nucleus of Charles Beadle’s first novel, now back in print for the first time since 1911.

Although the details of the skirmish remain murky, h...

  • A Whiteman’s Burden. Edited with Annotations and an Afterword by Rob Couteau
    Charles Beadle
    Although it’s been widely documented in scientific writing, few works of literary fiction deal with the sleeping sickness epidemic that killed hundreds of thousands of Africans at the turn of the century. One notable exception is Charles Beadle’s A Whiteman’s Burden, published in 1912, when trypanosomiasis was still claiming so many lives in Uganda and the Congo: sites of his n...

  • The Lost Cure. Edited with Annotations and an Introduction by Rob Couteau
    Charles Beadle
    We now have a unique opportunity to examine how novelist Charles Beadle portrayed the African sleeping sickness epidemic: first in a work of literature, A Whiteman’s Burden, and then in a mass-market form of genre fiction, The Lost Cure. In both these works, the devastation of the pandemic that claimed hundreds of thousands of lives is etched with vivid, moving poignancy. The L...

  • A Passionate Pilgrimage. Edited with an Introduction and Afterword by Rob Couteau
    Charles Beadle
    In 1915, Charles Beadle had the honor of creating a banned literary novel, A Passionate Pilgrimage, one of ten books blacklisted between 1914 and 1916 by Britain’s Circulating Libraries Association. By today’s standards, there’s nothing lewd, graphic, or obscene in this largely autobiographical confession. But for the Britain of 1915, Beadle’s carefree portrayal of casual sensu...

  • Dark Refuge
    Charles Beadle / Christopher Sawyer-Laucanno / Rob Couteau
    A lost modern masterpiece, Dark Refuge is now available for the first time since 1938. No other Anglo-Saxon author from this period describes the Parisian demimonde so accurately, because to do so would risk being thrown into jail. With thinly disguised portraits of Modigliani, Max Jacob, Beatrice Hastings, Natalie Clifford Barney, Leopold Zborowski, and other legendary moderni...

  • Witch-Doctors
    Charles Beadle
    In a bayou in the south-eastern corner of the Victoria Nyanza was the station of Ingonya, a brown scab on the face of the green earth. The round mud huts of the askaris were like two columns of khaki troops marching rigidly on each side of the parade ground. To the north, upon a slight rise of ground, were the white men’s quarters; the non-commissioned officers had four bungalo...
