Book excerpt: Saying "I will go with theeTo yon isles of mystery."Always fond of the marvelous, I conceived a strong desire to go to the North Pole.To obviate the dangers of the trip I invented a coach, that was also ship and balloon. Its silken canopy is inflatable to strong wings or wide sails. Its wheels are wide rimmed, to glide over snow, and paneled for water paddles. When it is finished and stored I select some friends to accompany me. My most personal loved ones. A volatile fair-haired gent--my husband, and a fair-haired little maiden friend, sit on the front seat. On the back seat are sitting my aged father and myself, our black eyes snapping with expectation.Waving my hands to the few gathered to see us off, I say: "This undertaking is of desire to gain knowledge. Success, surmounting all obstacles will take us to the summit of the round earth, where, ages past as ages future will accord us first record."Charley turns levers to start, as little Mae's mamma says: "You will be the Mascot, Mae Searles. But I do not think you will go very far," dubiously."You will change your mind, mamma, when I bring you home a little bear," makes us laugh."I will be glad to get you for my little bear.""All the rest of us," I answered, "will take care of her.""No doubt," she replies, "as far as you go in your odd rig," facetiously.Our wheels turn slowly and silently. Then with a low tinkling of the strain, "Good Bye, Sweet Heart," Mae had slipped her music box in one, wound to that harmony.We are Californians and take the C. P. railroad for our eastward route, our wheels being grooved to fit the track. Speeding merrily, we give vent to our imaginations of coming events."Will there really be a pole, Auntie?""That is for us to find out, dear. I sometimes think there is a stem there covered with ice, that holds the earth to an apple planet tree.""But the astronomers would have seen the tree," argues my father."They could not look so far. Only as far as the other star apples. May not the Milky Way be a branch?" I suggest.We now become aware that a train is approaching on the single track that is hanging over the grade on the canyon side. We have no choice but to unfurl our wings and rise in the air, as the engineer wildly blows his whistle. Brushing the pine tree tops, we cross over the peak and seek the track on the other side of it, selecting an opening in a thicket for that purpose.Finding it occupied by miners digging away, we hallo, when they look every way but up, as we land in their midst as though dropped from the sky. Their consternation is depicted in set jaws, as we give military salute and roll off.This feat, so skilfully accomplished, denotes an expert hand in our motorman, who had been practicing faithfully, as a bird to fly, a swimmer or cyclist. As exhilarant to him as to us, and much lessened our distance, causes Mae to clap her hands and ask, "Why not fly all the time?""We want to save that force until we have more serious need," Charley replies. "I hope that poor boy who fell over the log while eating his breakfast and ran away, will recover and go back," makes us all laugh uproariously, when zipp! whir-r!! over we go and lay on our side, the wheels still revolving.The grade just here, level from the ground excavated by the miners, saved us from a serious mishap. To have rolled to the Canyon River would have damaged us greatly. As it is we cannot recover the track without that descent. So we twist our car upright (we are fastened in our seats), square it to the hill and down we go, losing our breath as we plump splashing into the water.Our bonny wheels take paddle stroke and carry us, laughing over, and up the opposite bank to the track there, in its sinuous course."We laughed too quick," says father. "That friend at whom we laughed dropped that fork on the rail. I see him behind that boulder."

This book was released on 2023-07-31 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Imagined Arctic in Speculative Fiction explores the ways in which the Arctic is imagined and what function it is made to serve in a selection of speculative fictions: non-mimetic works that start from the implied question "What if?" Spanning slightly more than two centuries of speculative fiction, from the starting point in Mary Shelley’s 1818 Frankenstein to contemporary works that engage with the vast ramifications of anthropogenic climate change, analyses demonstrate how Arctic discourses are supported or subverted and how new Arctics are added to the textual tradition. To illuminate wider lines of inquiry informing the way the world is envisioned, humanity’s place and function in it, and more-than-human entanglements, analyses focus on the function of the actual Arctic and how this function impacts and is impacted by speculative elements. With effects of climate change training the global eye on the Arctic, and as debates around future northern cultural, economic and environmental sustainability intensify, there is a need for a deepened understanding of the discourses that have constructed and are constructing the Arctic. A careful mapping and serious consideration of both past and contemporary speculative visions thus illuminate the role the Arctic has played and may come to play in a diverse set of practices and fields.

Download or read book The Maternal Image of God in Victorian Literature written by Rebecca Styler and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-10 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the study of a religious metaphor: the idea of God as a mother, in British and US literature 1850–1915. It uncovers a tradition of writers for whom divine motherhood embodied ideals felt to be missing from the orthodox masculine deity. Elizabeth Gaskell, Josephine Butler, George Macdonald, Frances Hodgson Burnett and Charlotte Perkins Gilman independently reworked their inherited faith to create a new symbol that better met their religious needs, based on ideal Victorian notions of motherhood and ‘Mother Nature’. Divine motherhood signified compassion, universal salvation and a realised gospel of social reform led primarily by women to establish sympathetic community. Connected to Victorian feminism, it gave authority to women’s voices and to ‘feminine’ cultural values in the public sphere. It represented divine immanence within the world, often providing the grounds for an ecological ethic, including human–animal fellowship. With reference also to writers including Charlotte Brontë, Anna Jameson, Charles Kingsley, Elizabeth Charles, Theodore Parker, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Mary Baker Eddy and authors of literary utopias, this book shows the extent of maternal theology in Victorian thought and explores its cultural roots. The book reveals a new way in which Victorian writers creatively negotiated between religious tradition and modernity.

Download or read book Partners in Wonder written by Eric Leif Davin and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2005-12-07 with total page 445 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Partners in Wonder revolutionizes our knowledge of women and early science fiction. Contrary to accepted interpretations, women fans and writers were a welcome and influential part of pulp science fiction from the birth of the genre. Davin finds that at least 203 female authors, under their own female names, published over a thousand stories in science fiction magazines between 1926 and 1965. This work explores the distinctly different form of science fiction that females produced—one that was both more utopian and more empathetic than that of their male counterparts. Partners in Wonder presents, for the first time, a complete bibliography of every story published by women writers in science fiction magazines from 1926 to 1965 and brief biographies on 133 of these women writers. It is thus the most comprehensive source of information on early women science fiction writers yet available and of great importance to scholars of women's studies, popular culture, and English literature as well as science fiction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This collection speaks to common themes and strategies in women's writing about their different worlds, from Margaret Cavendish's seventeenth-century Blazing World of the North Pole to the "men-less" islands of the French writer Scudery to the eighteenth- and nineteenth-century utopias of Shelley and Gaskell, and science fiction pulps, finishing with the more contemporary feminist fictions of Le Guin, Wittig, Piercy, and Mitchison. It shows that these fictions historically speak to each other and together amount to a literary tradition of women's writing about a better place."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Download or read book Daring To Dream written by Carol Farley Kessler and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 1995-10-01 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Daring to Dream recovers for readers three full-length utopias never before reprinted in their entirety, four short utopian stories, and significant excerpts from five utopian novels, each carefully selected to maintain the integrity of the original. The book thus provides an overview of utopias by women in the United States from texts not otherwise easily available. Together they provide a foreground for, and feminist revision of, Edward Bellamy's popular and influential Looking\Backward (1888), as well as the imaginative underpinnings for the late twentieth-century outpouring of feminist utopias. A female narrator in 1870 dreams of a role reversal in a story in which men are confined to housekeeping and baby tending, and women run the country and enjoy all the privileges. In an 1885 short story, women emigrate from the eastern states to the Territory of Washington, where only women are voters. In the 1949 piece, "A Visitor from Venus," the visitor, accustomed to an all female Venusian society, reports her dismay at Earth's sex-biased arrangements. In addition to these twelve selections, this new edition includes a valuable annotated bibliography of utopias written by United States women from 1836-1988.

Download or read book Higher Ground written by Sally Kitch and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2000-07 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many feminists love a utopia—the idea of restarting humanity from scratch or transforming human nature in order to achieve a prescribed future based on feminist visions. Some scholars argue that feminist utopian fiction can be used as a template for creating such a future. However, Sally L. Kitch argues that associating feminist thought with utopianism is a mistake. Drawing on the history of utopian thought, as well as on her own research on utopian communities, Kitch defines utopian thinking, explores the pitfalls of pursuing social change based on utopian ideas, and argues for a "higher ground" —a contrasting approach she calls realism. Replacing utopianism with realism helps to eliminate self-defeating notions in feminist theory, such as false generalization, idealization, and unnecessary dichotomies. Realistic thought, however, allows feminist theory to respond to changing circumstances, acknowledge sameness as well as difference, value the past and the present, and respect ideological give-and-take. An important critique of feminist thought, Kitch concludes with a clear, exciting vision for a feminist future without utopia.

Download or read book Critical Terms for the Study of Gender written by Catharine R. Stimpson and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2014-07-11 with total page 564 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Gender systems pervade and regulate human lives—in law courts and operating rooms, ballparks and poker clubs, hair-dressing salons and kitchens, classrooms and playgroups. . . . Exactly how gender works varies from culture to culture, and from historical period to historical period, but gender is very rarely not at work. Nor does gender operate in isolation. It is linked to other social structures and sources of identity.” So write women’s studies pioneer Catharine R. Stimpson and anthropologist Gilbert Herdt in their introduction to Critical Terms for the Study of Gender, laying out the wide-ranging nature of this interdisciplinary and rapidly changing field. The sixth in the series of “Critical Terms” books, this volume provides an indispensable introduction to the study of gender through an exploration of key terms that are a part of everyday discourse in this vital subject. Following Stimpson and Herdt’s careful account of the evolution of gender studies and its relation to women’s and sexuality studies, the twenty-one essays here cast an appropriately broad net, spanning the study of gender and sexuality across the humanities and social sciences. Written by a distinguished group of scholars, each essay presents students with a history of a given term—from bodies to utopia—and explains the conceptual baggage it carries and the kinds of critical work it can be made to do. The contributors offer incisive discussions of topics ranging from desire, identity, justice, and kinship to love, race, and religion that suggest new directions for the understanding of gender studies. The result is an essential reference addressed to students studying gender in very different disciplinary contexts.
