Book excerpt: Welcome to a work of history unlike any other. Mothering is as old as human existence. But how has this most essential experience changed over time and cultures? What is the history of maternity—the history of pregnancy, birth, the encounter with an infant? Can one capture the historical trail of mothers? How? In Mother Is a Verb, the historian Sarah Knott creates a genre all her own in order to craft a new kind of historical interpretation. Blending memoir and history and building from anecdote, her book brings the past and the present viscerally alive. It is at once intimate and expansive, lyrical and precise. As a history, Mother Is a Verb draws on the terrain of Britain and North America from the seventeenth century to the close of the twentieth. Knott searches among a range of past societies, from those of Cree and Ojibwe women to tenant farmers in Appalachia; from enslaved people on South Carolina rice plantations to tenement dwellers in New York City and London’s East End. She pores over diaries, letters, court records, medical manuals, items of clothing. And she explores and documents her own experiences. As a memoir, Mother Is a Verb becomes a method of asking new questions and probing lost pasts in order to historicize the smallest, even the most mundane of human experiences. Is there a history to interruption, to the sound of an infant’s cry, to sleeplessness? Knott finds answers not through the telling of grand narratives, but through the painstaking accumulation of a trellis of anecdotes. And all the while, we can feel the child on her hip.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A novel that brings to life one of the great romances of all time. “Evokes in gritty and poetic detail the streets of twelfth-century Paris.” —The New York Times Book Review In the early twelfth century, William reaches Paris full of hope and without a penny. There, on the same day, he meets the two people who will dominate his life: young Heloise, with whom he immediately falls in love, and Abelard, the world-renowned philosopher. Through the eyes of William, we follow every turn in the greatest love story of the Middle Ages. We witness, in harrowing and lush descriptions, the scandal of the famous theologian falling for his educated and charming student; their flight and secret marriage; the barbaric revenge of the girl’s uncle; their years of separation; the writing of the famous letters; and finally the demise of a broken Abelard, whose books have been burned, a man who finds his ultimate solace in the thought of the woman who has never ceased to love him. Antoine Audouard brings literary grace to a story that is palpably infused with sensuality, conflict, and intellectual ferment. Farewell, My Only One is intelligent and bawdy, philosophical and romantic—a universal story of star-crossed lovers. “This is an elegantly written novel, refreshing in its bawdy portrayal of religious figures and intellectually stimulating in its rigorous treatment of the theological discourse of the time.” —Publishers Weekly

Download or read book The Portrait Bust and French Cultural Politics in the Eighteenth Century written by Ronit Milano and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2015-02-24 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Portrait Bust and French Cultural Politics in the Eighteenth Century, Ronit Milano probes the rich and complex aesthetic and intellectual charge of a remarkably concise art form, and explores its role as a powerful agent of epistemological change during one of the most seismic moments in French history. The pre-Revolutionary portrait bust was inextricably tied to the formation of modern selfhood and to the construction of individual identity during the Enlightenment, while positioning both sitters and viewers as part of a collective of individuals who together formed French society. In analyzing the contribution of the portrait bust to the construction of interiority and the formulation of new gender roles and political ideals, this book touches upon a set of concerns that constitute the very core of our modernity.

Download or read book The Cultural Construction of Hidden Spaces written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2024-05-23 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This essay collection focuses on enclosure, deception and secrecy in three spatial areas – the body, clothing and furniture. It contributes to the study of private life and explores the micro-history of hidden spaces. The contents of pockets may prove a surer index to their owner’s real thoughts than anything they say; a piece of furniture with ingenious mechanisms created to conceal secrets may also reveal someone’s attempts to break in and thus give away as much as it holds. Though the book’s focus is on particular material or imagined objects, taken as a whole it exemplifies a range of interdisciplinary encounters between history, literary criticism, art history, philosophy, psychoanalysis, sociology, criminology, archival studies, museology and curating, and women’s studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Only when she married him, who was secretly in love at the age of twenty-two, did she realize how much he hated her.After the first night, he left behind a few words beside her pillow, "I won't give you a child. Even if you want to die, I won't give you one!"She smiled wryly, closing her eyes and swallowing the medicine. The marriage was so cold that it almost made her despair. After the last courtship, she had been waiting for him at home for three months, expecting him to appear in the arms of another woman.He had taken his fiancée away to America, but she was kneeling in front of her father's spirit, her body bleeding from miscarriage.He was like a god who had fallen from the sky, and he began his resplendent life in the United States. And she was struggling at the bottom of her life, not daring to speak out loud and not daring to look up, all sorts of eyes wanting her to lose all the grace she had once had.When she had suffered through so much in her life, when she finally forgot the pain and no longer loved him and prepared to marry another man, he suddenly returned to the country and found her. He looked at her and sneered.Standing beside her was the child that she had given birth to. However, he stubbornly held her hand tightly, unwilling to let go.I don't love you anymore. I just want to wait for my husband to come back.He said, "I was the only one who could give you happiness."She looked at him in silence. But I'm already married, and I've never thought of getting married again.Even though he knew that she hated him to the bones, he still wanted to keep her by his side and not let her go. Fu Jingzhi, it doesn't matter if you hate me or hate me; I only want you to give birth to this child, a child that belongs to me alone!

Download or read book The Classical Tradition in Portuguese and Brazilian Poetry written by Maria de Fátima Silva and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2022-02-21 with total page 501 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book includes 21 chapters dedicated to the study of contemporary, Portuguese and Brazilian poets influenced by the Greco-Roman tradition. It integrates the international bibliography on reception studies in an Ibero-American context. However, the comparison between poets from the two countries highlights the cultural community that, despite the differences, unites them. Travels, routes, and adventures, taken in a linear or symbolic sense, are the common trace of all contributions. The variety of tastes, the greater or smaller closeness to the ancient models, and the authors’ preferences contribute to an overall view of the classical imprint on contemporary poetry as a specific area of literature.
