Book Synopsis The Age of Homespun by : Laurel Thatcher Ulrich
Download or read book The Age of Homespun written by Laurel Thatcher Ulrich and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2009-08-26 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: They began their existence as everyday objects, but in the hands of award-winning historian Laurel Thatcher Ulrich, fourteen domestic items from preindustrial America–ranging from a linen tablecloth to an unfinished sock–relinquish their stories and offer profound insights into our history. In an age when even meals are rarely made from scratch, homespun easily acquires the glow of nostalgia. The objects Ulrich investigates unravel those simplified illusions, revealing important clues to the culture and people who made them. Ulrich uses an Indian basket to explore the uneasy coexistence of native and colonial Americans. A piece of silk embroidery reveals racial and class distinctions, and two old spinning wheels illuminate the connections between colonial cloth-making and war. Pulling these divergent threads together, Ulrich demonstrates how early Americans made, used, sold, and saved textiles in order to assert their identities, shape relationships, and create history.

Download or read book In Homespun written by Edith Nesbit and published by Lindhardt og Ringhof. This book was released on 2021-09-15 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Known primarily for her often fantastical children's books, Edith Nesbit also frequented adult fiction, yet never forgetting her roots, exploring genres such as horror and the supernatural. This collection of ten short stories stays true to its title however, as they all are down-to-earth, realistic depictions of life in the English countryside, told from a female, working-class perspective. The collection is very much a product of its time, albeit with some modern notions interwoven. In one story, for example, a young woman turns away her fiancé who left her and her unborn child at the altar, choosing happiness as a single mother – a plot twist that no doubt dropped monocles in 1896. A Surrey native herself, Nesbit emphasises that the book is "written in an English dialect" of the area, so if you've ever wanted to feel slightly more included when British panel shows poke fun at the region but haven't yet found a proper reason for actually going, this piece will take you some of the way. Edith Nesbit (1858 – 1924) (married name Edith Bland) was a prolific English author and poet, writing primarily children's books under the pen name E. Nesbit. Her work often characterized by a mix of realistic settings with fantastical elements, Nesbit went on to influence writers such as C.S. Lewis and J.K. Rowling. Her most notable works include "Five Children and It" (1902) and "The Railway Children" (1906) which have never gone out of print.

Book Synopsis Homespun Faith by : Daisy Beiler Townsend
Download or read book Homespun Faith written by Daisy Beiler Townsend and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2014-12-15 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sometimes we think people of great faith are those who have great revelations or supernatural experiences, but that's not necessarily true. Great faith can also be acquired as we allow God to speak to us through the common, every day happenings in our lives, resulting in what I've come to think of as homespun faith. When our ears are "tuned" by the Holy Spirit, we will be amazed at the many ways that God speaks to us in addition to His Word. Everything that we hear must, of course, align itself with Scripture because we also have an enemy who is eager for any opportunity to deceive. People whose intention it is to hear from God must also immerse themselves in His Word and make themselves accountable to others in the body of Christ. Lord, open our spiritual ears so that we can develop homespun faith, woven together with the strong cords of your love, as we become aware of your voice speaking to us in ways that we can hear and understand. Amen!
