Book excerpt: Samantha's only friends were characters in books, but her real life takes an extraordinary turn when a mysterious "Mr. Knightley" offers her a full journalism scholarship—on the condition that she write to him regularly. Will their long-distance friendship unlock her heart? Sam is, to say the least, bookish. An English major of the highest order, her diet has always been Austen, Dickens, and Shakespeare. The problem is that both her prose and conversation tend to be more Elizabeth Bennet than Samantha Moore. But life for the twenty-three-year-old orphan is about to get stranger than fiction. An anonymous, Dickensian benefactor calling himself Mr. Knightley offers to put Sam through Northwestern University’s prestigious Medill School of Journalism. There is only one catch: Sam must write frequent letters to the mysterious donor, detailing her progress. Sam’s letters to Mr. Knightley become increasingly confessional as she begins to share everything from her painful childhood memories to her growing feelings for eligible novelist Alex Powell. While Alex draws Sam into a world of warmth and literature that feels like it’s straight out of a book, old secrets are drawn to light. And as Sam learns to love and trust Alex and herself, she learns once again how quickly trust can be broken. Reminding us all that our own true character is not meant to be hidden, Katherine Reay’s debut novel follows a young woman’s journey as she sheds her protective persona and embraces the person she was meant to become.

For joy.”—Laurie Viera Rigler, author of Rude Awakenings of a Jane Austen Addict Sweet, stand-alone contemporary romance Includes discussion questions for book clubs, a Q&A with the author, and Sam’s reading list

Book excerpt: From the bestselling author of Pride, Prejudice, and Cheese Grits comes a new and comical contemporary take on the perennial Jane Austen classic, Emma. Caroline Ashley is a journalist on the rise at The Washington Post until the sudden death of her father brings her back to Thorny Hollow to care for her mentally fragile mother and their aging antebellum home. The only respite from the eternal rotation of bridge club meetings and garden parties is her longtime friend, Brooks Elliott. A professor of journalism, Brooks is the voice of sanity and reason in the land of pink lemonade and triple layer coconut cakes. But when she meets a fascinating, charismatic young man on the cusp of a brand new industry, she ignores Brooks’s misgivings and throws herself into the project. Brooks struggles to reconcile his parents’ very bitter marriage with his father’s devastating grief at the recent loss of his wife. Caroline is the only bright spot in the emotional wreckage of his family life. She’s a friend and he’s perfectly happy to keep her safely in that category. Marriage isn’t for men like Brooks and they both know it… until a handsome newcomer wins her heart. Brooks discovers Caroline is much more than a friend, and always has been, but is it too late to win her back? Featuring a colorful cast of southern belles, Civil War re-enactors, and good Christian women with spunk to spare, Emma, Mr. Knightley, and Chili-Slaw Dogs brings the modern American South to light in a way only a contemporary Jane Austen could have imagined.

Book Synopsis An Ethics of Becoming by : Sonjeong Cho
Download or read book An Ethics of Becoming written by Sonjeong Cho and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-02-04 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In attempting to conceptualize feminine subjectivity beyond the familiar paradigm of dualism and within the parameters of ethics, this study examines the political and intellectual identity of contemporary poststructuralist feminism and its profound resonance with the nineteenth-century British female Bildungsroman. Rooted in fundamental questions about the nexus between feminist theory and feminist literature, genre and gender, subjectivity and ethics, sexuality and textuality, and mimesis and politics, this book aims specifically to configure feminine subjectivity in the horizon of becoming - always incomplete, non-identarian, performative, unknowable, and thus paradoxically unbecoming - as it disseminates in a modality of alterity in novels by Jane Austen, Charlotte Brontë, and George Eliot. The close reading of major novels by these women writers illuminates the artistic density and ethical depth of their writing by demonstrating that these women writers rewrite the genealogy of subjectivity and invent their own Bildungsroman as a rich narrative vehicle for the feminine.

In addition, the Companion devotes special attention to teaching Jane Austen.

Book Synopsis A Companion to Jane Austen Studies by : Robert Thomas Lambdin
Download or read book A Companion to Jane Austen Studies written by Robert Thomas Lambdin and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2000-09-30 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jane Austen significantly shaped the development of the English novel, and her works continue to be read widely today. Though she is best known for her novels, Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, Emma, Northanger Abbey, and Persuasion, she also wrote poems, letters, prayers and various pieces of juvenalia. These writings have been attracting the attention of scholars; her major works have already generated a large body of scholarly and critical studies. This reference is a guide to her works and the response to them. Austen's works are fraught with ambiguity. Because she was adept at displaying numerous aspects of an issue, her writings invite multiple interpretations. In light of the ambiguity of her texts, each of her major works is approached from a reader-response perspective, in which an expert contributor illuminates the reader's relationship to her writing. And because so many readers have had such varied responses to her novels, the volume also includes chapters summarizing the critical response to each of her major works. In addition, the book includes separate chapters on her poems, letters, and prayers.
Book Synopsis Gossip, Women, Film, and Chick Flicks by : Sarah-Mai Dang
Download or read book Gossip, Women, Film, and Chick Flicks written by Sarah-Mai Dang and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-11-21 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the relationship between gossip, women, and film with regards to the genre of chick flicks. Presenting two case studies on the films Easy A (Will Gluck 2010) and Emma (Douglas McGrath 1996), Dang demonstrates that hearsay plays a defining role in the staging of these films and thus in the film experience. While the lack of women’s voices in the general public sphere remains an issue, the female voice is very present in the contemporary woman’s film. In its analysis of gossip, this book focuses on a form of communication that has traditionally been assigned to women and is consequently disregarded. Dang provides a theoretical framework for the understanding of speech acts in the popular, yet undertheorized, genre of chick flicks.

Download or read book Emma Redux written by Helen Heineman and published by TouchPoint Press. This book was released on 2024-02-08 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jane Austen’s Emma begins with the marriage of Miss Taylor and Mr. Weston and closes with the unions of Emma and Mr. Knightley and Jane Fairfax with Frank Churchill. In Emma Redux, the lives of these couples and their children remain entwined. As the next generation grow up, Emma continues her match-making on a new cast of characters over which she protests, she has “only a little influence.” Throughout, the presence of Emma and Mr. Knightley secure the happiness of Highbury’s residents. PRAISE FOR EMMA REDUX “Helen Heineman’s sequels to Emma tidy up some of the loose ends Austen left behind and then weave a whole new set of adventures for her characters as they make their way through a changing world. Full of lightly-worn learning and crackling with wit and warmth, these stories show us what might have happened after the ‘happily ever after’ of one of the world’s most popular novels.” —Robert Douglas-Fairhurst, author of Becoming Dickens (Duff Cooper Prize winner) and The Turning Point; Professor of English Literature at the University of London and a Fellow of Magdalene College, Douglas-Fairhurst was historical consultant for the 2009 BBC television serial adaptation of Jane Austen’s Emma “Heineman writes the Austen dialogue unerringly. These characters are back again, speaking exactly as they would have had Austen been able to continue their story. Her knowledge of the period provides pleasure and instruction. She has the characters absolutely in hand: they are unmistakably themselves, just as we knew them. Her dialogue and description of people’s manners, how they behave and think, never seems anachronistic, and strikes my ear as authentically Austen-like. She’s clearly the right person for this task. Austen has touched her hand.”—Alan Feldman, author of several collections of poetry including The Happy Genius (Elliston Book Award winner) and The Golden Coin (The Four Lakes Prize winner). Dr. Feldman was Professor and chair of English at Framingham State University “In Emma Redux, Helen Heineman continues Jane Austen’s characters and conflicts, making them all her own. It’s fun to watch Emma and Mr. Knightley grow into their relationship with heart and wit. Heineman also excels at recreating the flavor of Austen’s supporting characters, from the pixilation of Mr. Woodhouse to the slickness of Frank Churchill. Come along to enjoy Helen Heineman’s bringing the Knightleys’ adventures into the next generation—with a delightful splash of the Dickensian.”—Sharon Healy-Yang, Ph.D, author of the Jessica Minton mystery series
