Book Synopsis British Boarding Houses in Interwar Women's Literature by : Terri Mullholland
Download or read book British Boarding Houses in Interwar Women's Literature written by Terri Mullholland and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2016-10-04 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Embraced for the dramatic opportunities afforded by a house full of strangers, the British boarding house emerged as a setting for novels published during the interwar period by a diverse range of women writers from Stella Gibbons to Virginia Woolf. To use the single room in the boarding house or bedsit, Terri Mullholland argues, is to foreground a particular experience. While the single room represents the freedoms of independent living available to women in the early twentieth century, it also marks the precariousness of unmarried women’s lives. By placing their characters in this transient space, women writers could explore women's changing social roles and complex experiences – amateur prostitution, lesbian relationships, extra-marital affairs, and abortion – outside traditional domestic narrative concerns. Mullholland presents new readings of works by canonical and non-canonical writers, including Stella Gibbons, Winifred Holtby, Storm Jameson, Rosamond Lehmann, Dorothy Richardson, Jean Rhys, and Virginia Woolf. A hybrid of the modernist and realist domestic fiction written and read by women, the literature of the single room merges modernism's interest in interior psychological states with the realism of precisely documented exterior spaces, offering a new mode of engagement with the two forms of interiority.
Book Synopsis Views from the Road I Traveled by : Henry M. Kissman
Download or read book Views from the Road I Traveled written by Henry M. Kissman and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2008-10-10 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this autobiography, Henry Kissman describes his journey from a boyhood in prewar Austria to life in America, and how he survived the displacements and losses of wartime and built a life devoted to scientific inquiry and public service. As a prosperous Jewish family in the city of Graz, the Kissmans became Nazi targets immediately after the German takeover of Austria in 1938. Henrys parents were both jailed on trumped-up charges, and were stripped of everything they owned, including their successful lumber export business. Henry, age 15 at the time, was able to flee to England; his younger sister followed on a Kindertransport a few months later. After 9 months, his parents were expelled from Austria. Eventually, they also reached England, where they lived and worked throughout the war. In December 1939, Henry was able to emigrate to the U.S. After living with relatives in New York City for a time, he worked at various factory jobs in New Jersey and completed his high school education at night. Through a scholarship he was able to earn a degree at Sterling College in Kansas in 1944. He was then drafted into the Army, where he first served as a combat medic with the 10th Mountain Division in northern Italy, and later as a counter intelligence agent with the U.S. occupation forces in Germany. After discharge from the Army, Henry obtained advanced degrees in organic chemistry with the help of the GI Bill. Eventually, he joined a research group at a pharmaceutical company, where he worked on biologically active substances such as antibiotics and steroids. In 1955, he met Lee Cohn his wife-to-be. They married in January 1956. Beginning in the mid-sixties, Henrys interests changed from laboratory research to developing innovative ways of managing scientific information. He directed such information projects at the U.S. Food & Drug Administration and then at the National Library of Medicine until his retirement in 1992.

Book excerpt: Anna Wickham's life is characterized by the turbulent, burgeoning feminism of the early 20th century. A woman whose incisive mind and inquisitive nature sent her husband into jealous rages, she was forcibly committed to a mental hospital at the age of 30. Upon her release, she began a life-long quest for happiness, exhibited first and foremost through her poetry. Anna Wickham became a widely acclaimed writer whose life, at times immersed in scandal, is a story of success and sadness. Eventually leaving her husband and four sons to live in Paris's left bank, she became a confidante of D.H. Lawrence, the long-time lover of millionairess Natalie Clifford Barney, and a strong-willed literary icon, rumored to have once thrown Dylan Thomas into a snowstorm. Despite her fame and achievement, Wickham's struggles with depression and anxiety would eventually lead to her untimely death.

Book Synopsis Asmus Boysen and His Dam Problems by : Lawrence Woods
Download or read book Asmus Boysen and His Dam Problems written by Lawrence Woods and published by Author House. This book was released on 2013-01-31 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Asmus Boysen was not yet eighteen when he stepped off the ship in New York in the spring of 1886, hoping to make his fortune in the free environment of the United States. In a remarkably short time, he did just that, marrying a beautiful and wealthy woman, building a considerable estate, and making many friends, some of them influential in the political life of the country. But fickle Fate lured him to an Indian reservation in the middle of Wyoming, where he used his newly-acquired political influence to lease a huge tract of land to look for coal. The search for coal proved unrewarding, but Boysen parlayed the worthless lease into a square mile of mineral land athwart a rugged canyon, where he hoped to find precious metals. Alas, that hope was doomed, as well, and he then committed his fortune (and the money of others) to a dam and power plant, in the vain hope to recover it all and more from the sale of power to a new mining industry and the crowd of settlers expected on the reservation land. His quest for success was further hampered by the appearance of lawyer John T. Clarke, who successfully claimed and tenaciously clung to a share in Boysens property, in a struggle before a number of courtsa struggle that exhausted both their fortunes. In the end, neither was a winner, as a railroad, the State of Wyoming and the river conspired to rob both of the hoped-for pot of gold. The dam Boysen built is gone, but an ironic vindication of Boysens original dream, is the governments much larger Boysen dam, just upriver from Boysens location, proving that it made sense to erect a dam and power plant there, if the builder was rich enough and powerful enough.
Book Synopsis Thomas Beddoes M.D. 1760–1808 by : D.A. Stansfield
Download or read book Thomas Beddoes M.D. 1760–1808 written by D.A. Stansfield and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1984-06-30 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We meet in Thomas Beddoes an able chemist, engaged in a field where impor tant new discoveries were being made; a good doctor eager to fmd experi mentally soun. d ways of healing and to make known the principles of maintaining good health; a vigorous, independent man sharing the hope which the ideas of the French Revolution gave so many 9f his contemporaries. In his life he was a controversial figure and judgement and detached appreciation of his work was often made impossible by anger at his 'revolutionary' political views. It becomes evident that where Beddoes was held in esteem and where he had influence it was not for particular activities but for what he was 'in the round'. With due respect - and with gratitude - to specialist accounts of his achievements as a chemist and of his endeavours to fmd a cure for pulmonary consumption and his efforts to bring about an understanding of the importance of preventive medicine, I have tried in this account to 'see him whole'. Historians of chemistry and of medicine; educationalists; and those concerned with 'women's studies' will each continue to find particular episodes or parts of Beddoes' life of special interest. At the same time I hope this, the first attempt at a biography - for J. E. Stock's 1811 account is truly named "Memoirs" - will add to our understanding of his varied activities.
Download or read book Vell, Vell, Vell written by Paul W. Reidl and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2021-06-10 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the moving story of William J. “Bill” Reidl. He grew up as a German in a village in southern Hungary, came to America in 1920, worked hard, and lived the American dream. He was a humble carpenter and raconteur with a self-effacing sense of humor. His is a story shared by millions of his peers—escaping war and violence, finding happiness and love in America, and living a long and happy life. More importantly, it is a love story—his love for his wife and how he dealt with her descent into Alzheimer’s for decades, his love for his children, and above all, his love for his grandson. It is a story of their love for each other as family, the good times they shared, and the sad times they endured. This will make the reader laugh and cry and, hopefully, inspire them to explore and preserve their family’s story.

Book excerpt: Anna Flowers lost her mother at a very young age to the brutal act of murder perpetrated by her stepfather, Eustace Thorn, the man her mother married after the death of her beloved father. After Eustace escapes the hand of justice, he promises to come back and complete the job by taking Anna's life too. Anna lives in fear of his return. The schoolteacher in Freedom Town takes Anna into her home after Anna's mother's death and raised her as if she were her child. Anna grows into a beautiful young woman. She catches the eye of the young men in Freedom, especially the new sheriff, Seth Stone. Struggling with her faith and her desire for revenge on Eustace, Anna hesitates to take Seth and his young son into her heart. Seth Stone, having left an unfaithful wife in Ireland only to return years later to take possession of their young son and bring him back to America, has not found women necessary to his comfort--at least only fleetingly. He is content to raise his son while he pursues criminals. He is content with his reputation as a relentless lawman who never gives up. He is content with his life until he met Anna. Anna, already secured in her place in Freedom Town, does not want anything to do with the new sheriff. Seth, struggling to make a stable home for his son, wants a mother for his child. Both pursued by the personal demons from their past, they find themselves drawn to each other. Danger surrounds them both from the criminals that Seth must pursue and the man Anna hopes never to encounter again. When Anna's worst fears are realized with the return of Eustace Thorn, it seems that she is lost to Seth forever. It appears that all will be lost for both of them. Anna Flowers fights for her life as Seth Stone fights for his life and the affection of his son. Will these two get together and change Freedom Town forever?
Book Synopsis Travel and Modernist Literature by : Alexandra Peat
Download or read book Travel and Modernist Literature written by Alexandra Peat and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-03-28 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through close readings of works from Henry James to W. E. B. Du Bois, and from Virginia Woolf to Jean Rhys, this book discusses how fictional travelers negotiate and adapt various tropes of travel (such as quest, expatriation, displacement, and exile) as models for their own journeys. Specifically, Peat considers the ethical dimensions of modernist travel from two distinct vantages. The first focuses on the relationship between the secular and the sacred in modernist travel literature, arguing that the recurrent narrative of secular travel is haunted by a desire for spiritual transcendence. The second posits modernist travel fiction as a potentially positive example of transcultural relations, consciously arguing against the received notion that travel during an imperial era is always by nature itself imperialist. Throughout, particular attention is paid to the transnational nature of modernism and the various global flows traced by modernist literature.
