Download or read book Chaste Carter written by Jamie Sterling and published by Pink Flamingo Media. This book was released on 2021-01-01 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carter Mathis is handsome, successful, and accustomed to bedding his share of attractive women. On meeting the ravishing redhead Jessica Kendricks, he is immediately attracted to her, although she’s exceedingly formal and somewhat distant. While this is both confusing and arousing, Carter is determined to conquer her. Later, Jessica informs him that she is sexually dominant, and she only gets involved with men who submit to her. Thus Carter anticipates enjoying some kinky sex. Only later does he learn that she’ll require him to wear a chastity device full time. While he’s concerned, he’s curious too, and with some trepidation, he agrees to her terms. Though sexually frustrated, his desire for Jessica compels him to submit. After his first week in chastity, Jessica informs him that he will be kept in chastity for months. She sees it as a privilege to be allowed to serve her. While she’ll release him if he wants, he will not be permitted to serve her ever again. The question is: Can Carter become the submissive man Jessica desires?

Book Synopsis Lewd and Notorious by : Katharine Kittredge
Download or read book Lewd and Notorious written by Katharine Kittredge and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2009-12-21 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Accounts of women's transgressive behavior in eighteenth-century literature and social documents have much to teach us about constructions of femininity during the period often identified as having formed our society's gender norms. Lewd and Notorious explores the eighteenth century's shadows, inhabited by marginal women of many kinds and degrees of contrariness. The reader meets Laetitia Pilkington, whose sexual indiscretions caused her to fall from social and literary grace to become an articulate memoirist of personal scandal, and Elizabeth Brownrigg, who tortured and starved her young servants, propelling herself to an infamy comparable to Susan Smith's or Myra Hindley's. More awful women wait between these covers to teach us about society's reception (and construction) of their debauchery and dangerousness. The authors draw upon a rich range of contemporary texts to illuminate the lives of these women. Astute analysis of literary, legal, evangelical, epistolary, and political documents provides an understanding of 1700s womanhood. From lusty old maids to murderous mistresses, the characters who exemplify this period's vision of women on the edge are essential acquaintances for anyone wishing to understand the development and ramifications of conceptions of femininity.

She returns to England to be one of the first women to receive a degree from the University of Cambridge.

Book Synopsis Landon Carter's Uneasy Kingdom by : Rhys Isaac
Download or read book Landon Carter's Uneasy Kingdom written by Rhys Isaac and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2004-07-15 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Landon Carter, a Virginia planter, left behind one of the most revealing of all American diaries. In this astonishingly rich biography, Isaac mines this remarkable document--and many other sources--to reconstruct Carter's interior world as it plunged into revolution. The aging patriarch, though a fierce supporter of American liberty, was deeply troubled by the rebellion and its threat to established order. His diary, originally a record of plantation business, began to fill with angry stories of revolt in his own little kingdom. Carter writes at white heat, his words sputtering from his pen as he documents the terrible rupture that the Revolution meant to him. Indeed, Carter felt in his heart that he was chronicling a world in decline, the passing of the order that his revered father had bequeathed to him. Not only had Landon's king betrayed his subjects, but Landon's own household betrayed him: his son showed insolent defiance, his daughter Judith eloped with a forbidden suitor, all of his slaves conspired constantly, and eight of them made an armed exodus to freedom. The seismic upheaval he helped to start had crumbled the foundations of Carter's own home. In Landon Carter's Uneasy Kingdom Rhys Isaac unfolds not only the life, but also the mental world of our countrymen in a long-distant time. Moreover, in this presentation of Landon Carter's passionate narratives, the diarist becomes an arresting new character in the world's literature, a figure of Shakespearean proportions, the Lear of his own tragic kingdom. This long-awaited work will be seen both as a major contribution to Revolution history and a triumph of the art of biography.

Book Synopsis Female Subjectivity in Women's Writing by : Hatice Yurttaş
Download or read book Female Subjectivity in Women's Writing written by Hatice Yurttaş and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2023-09-21 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume discusses how Angela Carter’s Nights at the Circus, Margaret Atwood's The Blind Assassin, and A.S. Byatt’s “Morpho Eugenia” approach the question of female subjectivity and how they relate this question to language and literature. It shows that the conscious intertextuality and genre transgressions in these writings reflect the authors’ awareness of the woman writer’s problematic position in the literary tradition which does not allow woman a subject position. In this discussion, Luce Irigaray’s criticism of language and theory as the producer and ally of the patriarchal order is used as the main reference point. The book reads these in the light of Irigaray’s analyses of how language creates the category of woman. It highlights that Atwood and Carter are more in accord with Irigaray’s insistence on a language that can produce a female subjectivity by acknowledging, representing and symbolizing the desire of, and for, the mother, while Byatt, on the other hand, suffices with deconstructing the male subject without devising a subjective identity for women.

Book Synopsis The Fiction of Rushdie, Barnes, Winterson and Carter by : Gregory J. Rubinson
Download or read book The Fiction of Rushdie, Barnes, Winterson and Carter written by Gregory J. Rubinson and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2005-08-24 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Literature often reflects societal change, but it can also effect change by inspiring people to think in new ways. Four authors who encourage readers to question traditional boundaries are Salman Rushdie, Julian Barnes, Jeanette Winterson and Angela Carter. This book takes an in-depth look at the works of these authors with specific emphasis on how they challenge religion (especially in its fundamentalist forms) and its intersections with history, politics, gender and sexuality. The study notes both differences and similarities among the four authors, whose writings broadly represent the major themes in contemporary British literature. Divided into two primary sections, the volume first takes a look at Rushdie and Barnes and their stance regarding historical and political issues. The second section concentrates on gender and sexuality in the writings of Winterson and Carter. Among the works examined are Rushdie's The Satanic Verses and Midnight's Children; Barnes' Flaubert's Parrot and A History of the World in 10 1⁄2 Chapters; Winterson's Boating for Beginners and Written on the Body; and Carter's The Passion of New Eve and Heroes and Villains. The final chapter includes a brief survey of other significant figures in postmodern British literature, including Martin Amis, Ian McEwan, D.M. Thomas, Fay Weldon and Emma Tennant.

Book Synopsis Asian North American Identities by : Eleanor Rose Ty
Download or read book Asian North American Identities written by Eleanor Rose Ty and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The nine essays in Asian North American Identities explore how Asian North Americans are no longer caught between worlds of the old and the new, the east and the west, and the south and the north. Moving beyond national and diasporic models of ethnic identity to focus on the individual feelings and experiences of those who are not part of a dominant white majority, the essays collected here draw from a wide range of sources, including novels, art, photography, poetry, cinema, theatre, and popular culture. The book illustrates how Asian North Americans are developing new ways of seeing and thinking about themselves by eluding imposed identities and creating spaces that offer alternative sites from which to speak and imagine. Contributors are Jeanne Yu-Mei Chiu, Patricia Chu, Rocio G. Davis, Donald C. Goellnicht, Karlyn Koh, Josephine Lee, Leilani Nishime, Caroline Rody, Jeffrey J. Santa Ana, Malini Johar Schueller, and Eleanor Ty.

Book Synopsis Translating Italy for the Eighteenth Century by : Mirella Agorni
Download or read book Translating Italy for the Eighteenth Century written by Mirella Agorni and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-04-08 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Translating Italy in the Eighteenth Century offers a historical analysis of the role played by translation in that complex redefinition of women's writing that was taking place in Britain in the second half of the eighteenth century. It investigates the ways in which women writers managed to appropriate images of Italy and adapt them to their own purposes in a period which covers the 'moral turn' in women's writing in the 1740s and foreshadows the Romantic interest in Italy at the end of the century. A brief survey of translations produced by women in the period 1730-1799 provides an overview of the genres favoured by women translators, such as the moral novel, sentimental play and a type of conduct literature of a distinctively 'proto-feminist' character. Elizabeth Carter's translation of Francesco Algarotti's II Newtonianesimo per le Dame (1739) is one of the best examples of the latter kind of texts. A close reading of the English translation indicates a 'proto-feminist' exploitation of the myth of Italian women's cultural prestige. Another genre increasingly accessible to women, namely travel writing, confirms this female interest in Italy. Female travellers who visited Italy in the second half of the century, such as Hester Piozzi, observed the state of women's education through the lenses provided by Carter. Piozzi's image of Italy, a paradoxical mixture of imagination and realistic observation, became a powerful symbolic source, which enabled the fictional image of a modern, relatively egalitarian British society to take shape.
