Book Synopsis Jane Oglander by : Marie Belloc Lowndes
Download or read book Jane Oglander written by Marie Belloc Lowndes and published by . This book was released on 2017-11-25 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Mrs. Belloc Lowndes, author of 'Jane Oglander,' is comparatively unknown to the American public. Yet, in England, she is one of the most popular novel writers. The English reviews follow her work closely, for they discern in it qualities of genuine merit. It has always that quality of indispensable to any writing of a high order - sincerity. 'Jane Oglander' is a remarkable study of a bad woman. Its scene is an English county estate; its chief characters, Jane Oglander herself, a handsome English girl, steadfast and loyal; Hew Lingard, lion of the hour, a distinguished soldier fresh from victories; Athena Maule, a live and palpitating woman of the world, unscrupulous, ambitious, irresistibly beautiful; Athena's husband, a keenly intellectual paralytic. Lingard is engaged to Jane Oglander. Athena, though presumably Jane's loyal friend, finding it suits her aims to win him from her, does not hesitate to try it. The skill with which characters are delineated - particularly Athena - in the intriguing that follows, and the dramatic series of events leading to a dreadful climax, make this novel stand out definitely from the common run of fiction." -The Book Buyer "'Jane Oglander' is a story of exceptional power and exceptional charm. It deals in rich emotional material with a fine artistic restraint." -The Bookman "This story shows Mrs. Lowndes at her best." -The Morning Leader "A dramatic story of a weak man and a wicked woman....Even the most prophetic reader will not be prepared for this denouement, and even the most credulous will be disposed to doubt its possibility. Athena's character is surely a masterpiece. She is a woman absolutely self-centered, without conscience, without sympathies, but possessing a certain charm. The book is striking and well worth reading." -Home Needlework Magazine "The book is charming, attractive and interesting in every way." -The Observer "There is more breadth and largeness about her work than about that of any other woman novelist we can think of." -The London Academy "Her men are quite as well done as her women, and her women are real women, who love and sin and suffer." -The London Evening Standard "The qualities which one expects from Mrs. Belloc Lowndes are a tolerant and clear estimate of human nature, a settled grasp of her story, and an agreeable maturity of style and manner."-The Pall Mall Gazette "Mrs. Belloc Lowndes has a distinction of mind and of style which set her far apart from and far above the ordinary novel writer. All her characters are alive, as real as real people to us." -The Westminster Gazette "'Jane Oglander' is a novel of fine workmanship and vigorous human nature. It will satisfy the fastidious literary connoisseur, and at the same time excite the sincere admiration of every lover of a strong story strongly and unaffectedly told." -The Daily Telegraph
Book Synopsis Barbara Rebell by : Marie Belloc Lowndes
Download or read book Barbara Rebell written by Marie Belloc Lowndes and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-06-26 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Barbara's birthday began very differently from what she had thought it would do. The little girl had pleasant recollections of the fashion in which her last fête day, "la Sainte Barbe," had been celebrated. She remembered vividly the white bouquets brought by the tradespeople, the cakes and gifts offered by her little French friends, they who dwelt in Legitimist seclusion in the old town—for St. Germains was at that time a Royalist stronghold—far from the supposed malign influence of the high forest trees, and broad, wind-swept Terrace, which had first attracted Barbara's parents, and caused them to choose St. Germains as their place of retreat.
Book Synopsis The Dry Wood by : Caryll Houselander
Download or read book The Dry Wood written by Caryll Houselander and published by CUA Press. This book was released on 2022-02-04 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the English-speaking world, the Catholic Literary Revival is typically associated with the work of G. K. Chesterton/Hilaire Belloc, Evelyn Waugh and Graham Greene. But in fact the Revival’s most numerous members were women. While some of these women remain well known⎯Muriel Spark, Antonia White, Flannery O’Connor, Dorothy Day - many have been almost entirely forgotten. They include: Enid Dinnis, Anna Hanson Dorsey, Alice Thomas Ellis, Eleanor Farjeon, Rumer Godden, Caroline Gordon, Clotilde Graves, Caryll Houselander, Sheila Kaye-Smith, Jane Lane, Marie Belloc Lowndes, Alice Meynell, Kathleen Raine, Pearl Mary Teresa Richards, Edith Sitwell, Gladys Bronwyn Stern, Josephine Ward, and Maisie Ward. There are various reasons why each of these writers fell out of print: changes in the commercial publishing world after World War II, changes within the Church itself and in the English-speaking universities that redefined the literary canon in the last decades of the 20th century. Yet it remains puzzling that a body of writing so creative, so attuned to its historical moment, and so unique in its perspective on the human condition, should have fallen into obscurity for so long. The Catholic Women Writers series brings together the English-language prose works of Catholic women from the 19th and 20th centuries; work that is of interest to a broad range of readers. Each volume is printed with an accessible but scholarly introduction by theologians and literary specialists. The first volume in the series is Caryll Houselander’s The Dry Wood. Houselander is known primarily for her spiritual writings but she also wrote one novel, set in a post-war London Docklands parish. There a motley group of lost souls are mourning the death of their saintly priest and hoping for the miraculous healing of a vulnerable child whose gentleness in the face of suffering brings conversion to them all in surprising and unexpected ways. The Dry Wood offers a vital contribution to the modern literary canon and a profound meditation on the purpose of human suffering.
Book Synopsis The Crime Novel by : Anthony Channell Hilfer
Download or read book The Crime Novel written by Anthony Channell Hilfer and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 1990-10-01 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although rarely distinguished from the detective story, the crime novel offers readers a quite different experience. In the detective novel, a sympathetic detective figure uses reason and intuition to solve the puzzle, restore order, and reassure readers that "right" will always prevail. In the crime novel, by contrast, the "hero" is either the killer, the victim, a guilty bystander, or someone falsely accused, and the crime may never be satisfactorily solved. These and other fundamental differences are set out by Tony Hilfer in The Crime Novel, the first book that completely defines and explores this popular genre. Hilfer offers convincing evidence that the crime novel should be regarded as a genre distinct from the detective novel, whose conventions it subverts to develop conventions of its own. Hilfer provides in-depth analyses of novels by Georges Simenon, Margaret Millar, Patricia Highsmith, and Jim Thompson. He also treats such British novelists as Patrick Hamilton, Shelley Smith, and Marie Belloc Lowndes, as well as the American novelists Cornell Woolrich, John Franklin Bardin, James M. Cain, and Fredric Brown. In addition, he defines the distinctions between the American crime novel and the British, showing how their differences correspond to differences in American and British detective fiction. This well-written study will appeal to a general audience, as well as teachers and students of detective and mystery fiction. For anyone interested in the genre, it offers valuable suggestions of "what to read next."

Book Synopsis Purity and Contamination in Late Victorian Detective Fiction by : Dr Christopher Pittard
Download or read book Purity and Contamination in Late Victorian Detective Fiction written by Dr Christopher Pittard and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2013-05-28 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Concentrating on works by authors such as Fergus Hume, Arthur Conan Doyle, Grant Allen, L.T. Meade, and Marie Belloc Lowndes, Christopher Pittard explores the complex relation between the emergence of detective fictions in the 1880s and 1890s and the concept of purity. The centrality of material and moral purity as a theme of the genre, Pittard argues, both reflected and satirised a contemporary discourse of degeneration in which criminality was equated with dirt and disease and where national boundaries were guarded against the threat of the criminal foreigner. Situating his discussion within the ideologies underpinning George Newnes's Strand Magazine as well as a wide range of nonfiction texts, Pittard demonstrates that the genre was a response to the seductive and impure delights associated with sensation and gothic novels. Further, Pittard suggests that criticism of detective fiction has in turn become obsessed with the idea of purity, thus illustrating how a genre concerned with policing the impure itself became subject to the same fear of contamination. Contributing to the richness of Pittard's project are his discussions of the convergence of medical discourse and detective fiction in the 1890s, including the way social protest movements like the antivivisectionist campaigns and medical explorations of criminality raised questions related to moral purity.
Book Synopsis In Darkest London by : Jamieson Ridenhour
Download or read book In Darkest London written by Jamieson Ridenhour and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2013 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the 19th century, London was a complex, vibrant, and multi-faceted city, the first true metropolis. As such, it contained within it a widely disparate array of worlds and cultures. Representations of London in literature varied just as widely. In the late 1830s, London began appearing as a site of literary terror, and by the end of the century a large proportion of the important Victorian "Gothic revival" novels were set in the city: The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, The Picture of Dorian Gray, The Three Impostors, The Beetle, Dracula, and many others. In Darkest London is a full-length study of the Victorian Urban Gothic, a pervasive mode that appears not only in straightforward novels of terror like those mentioned above but also in the works of mainstream authors such as Charles Dickens and in the journalism and travel literature of the time. In this volume, author Jamieson Ridenhour looks beyond broad considerations of the Gothic as a historical mode to explore the development of London and the concurrent rise of the Urban Gothic. He also considers very specific aspects of London's representation in these works and draws upon recent and then-contemporary theories, close readings of relevant texts, and cartography to support and expand these ideas. This book examines the work of both canonical and non-canonical authors, including Dickens, Bram Stoker, Robert Louis Stevenson, G.W.M. Reynolds, Richard Marsh, Arthur Machen, Marie Belloc Lowndes, and Oscar Wilde. Placing the conventions of the Gothic form in their proper historical context, In Darkest London will appeal to scholars and students interested in an in-depth survey of the Urban Gothic.
