Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marsh Tales is a delight, a sort of oral history of the outlaw gunners and other salty oldtime waterfowlers that for the first time gives me the flavor of their speech, the feeling of, yes, this is the way it must have been. Don't expect any apologies here -- this is a book about life as it was lived in another time, ribald, salty, anti-authoritarian and lawless. -- Gray's Sporting JournalMore than a hundred stories are gathered here, full of adventure, high jinks, and one-step-ahead-of-the-warden mischief, along with pictures and brief biographies of the fifteen men who told them.

Book Synopsis Richard Marsh, popular fiction and literary culture, 1890–1915 by : Victoria Margree
Download or read book Richard Marsh, popular fiction and literary culture, 1890–1915 written by Victoria Margree and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2018-03-31 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Richard Marsh was one of the most popular and prolific authors of the late-Victorian and Edwardian periods. His bestselling The Beetle: A Mystery (1897) outsold Bram Stoker’s Dracula. A prolific author within a range of genres including Gothic, crime, humour and romance, Marsh produced stories about shape-shifting monsters, morally dubious heroes, lip-reading female detectives and objects that come to life. However, while Marsh’s work appealed to a public greedy for sensationalist fiction, both the cultural elite of the day and twentieth-century literary critics looked askance at his popular middlebrow fiction. In the wake of the recent rediscovery of Marsh’s fiction, this essay collection builds on burgeoning scholarly interest in the author. Marsh emerges here as a fascinating writer who helped shape the genres of popular fiction and whose stories offer surprising responses to issues of criminality, gender and empire in this period of cultural transition.
Book Synopsis Tales From the Hollow by : Scott Kennedy
Download or read book Tales From the Hollow written by Scott Kennedy and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2022-11-28 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This story begins some 13,000 years ago, at the end of the last ice age, before travelling thousands of years ahead to the early pioneers and the farms they established, and right up to the present day. Readers will learn how the local St. John’s Anglican Church welcomed its first worshippers when Beethoven was still performing in the concert halls of Europe. They will meet Cornelius van Nostrand, born in 1730—twenty-six years before Mozart and eleven years before the first performance of Handel’s Messiah—and now at rest in St. John’s churchyard. This rich history also includes such diverse figures as Amelia Earhart—who discovered her love of flying at an aerodrome overlooking Hogg’s Hollow—and Northern Dancer, the most influential Thoroughbred racehorse in history. Members of the British Royal Family—including two Kings of England—were also regular visitors to the area, staying in later years with E.P. Taylor and his wife Winifred at the Taylors’ Windfields Farm, where Northern Dancer was also a resident.

Book Synopsis Don Quixote as Children's Literature by : Velma Bourgeois Richmond
Download or read book Don Quixote as Children's Literature written by Velma Bourgeois Richmond and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2018-06-09 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cervantes is regarded as the author of the first novel and the inventor of fiction. From its publication in 1605, Don Quixote—recently named the world’s best book by authors from 54 countries—has been widely translated and imitated. Among its less acknowledged imitations are stories in children’s literature. In context of English adaptation and critical response this book explores the noble and “mad” adventures retold for children by distinguished writers and artists in Edwardian books, collections, home libraries, schoolbooks and picture books. More recent adaptations including comics and graphic novels deviate from traditional retellings. All speak to the knight-errant’s lasting influence and appeal to children.
Book Synopsis The Ordeal of Elizabeth Marsh by : Linda Colley
Download or read book The Ordeal of Elizabeth Marsh written by Linda Colley and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2008-11-11 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this remarkable reconstruction of an eighteenth-century woman's extraordinary and turbulent life, historian Linda Colley not only tells the story of Elizabeth Marsh, one of the most distinctive travelers of her time, but also opens a window onto a radically transforming world.Marsh was conceived in Jamaica, lived in London, Gibraltar, and Menorca, visited the Cape of Africa and Rio de Janeiro, explored eastern and southern India, and was held captive at the court of the sultan of Morocco. She was involved in land speculation in Florida and in international smuggling, and was caught up in three different slave systems. She was also a part of far larger histories. Marsh's lifetime saw new connections being forged across nations, continents, and oceans by war, empire, trade, navies, slavery, and print, and these developments shaped and distorted her own progress and the lives of those close to her. Colley brilliantly weaves together the personal and the epic in this compelling story of a woman in world history.

Download or read book Tales of Unrest written by Joseph Conrad and published by . This book was released on 1922 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tales of Unrest is a collection of short stories by Joseph Conrad originally published in 1898. Four of the five stories had been published previously in various magazines. This was the first published collection of any of Conrad's stories..... Joseph Conrad (Polish pronunciation: born Jozef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski; 3 December 1857 - 3 August 1924) was a Polish-British writer regarded as one of the greatest novelists to write in the English language. He joined the British merchant marine in 1878, and was granted British nationality in 1886. Though he did not speak English fluently until he was in his twenties, he was a master prose stylist who brought a non-English sensibility into English literature. He wrote stories and novels, many with a nautical setting, that depict trials of the human spirit in the midst of an impassive, inscrutable universe. Conrad is considered an early modernist, though his works still contain elements of 19th-century realism. His narrative style and anti-heroic characters have influenced many authors, including T. S. Eliot, William Faulkner, Graham Greene, and Salman Rushdie. Many films have been adapted from, or inspired by, Conrad's works. Writing in the heyday of the British Empire, Conrad drew on, among other things, his native Poland's national experiences, and his personal experiences in the French and British merchant navies, to create short stories and novels that reflect aspects of a European-dominated world - including imperialism and colonialism - while profoundly exploring human psychology.
