Download or read book Masquerade and Gender written by Catherine A. Craft-Fairchild and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2012-03-31 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Terry Castle's recent study of masquerade follows Bakhtin's analysis of the carnivalesque to conclude that, for women, masquerade offered exciting possibilities for social and sexual freedom. Castle's interpretation conforms to the fears expressed by male writers during the period—Addison, Steele, and Fielding all insisted that masquerade allowed women to usurp the privileges of men. Female authors, however, often mistrusted these claims, perceiving that masquerade's apparent freedoms were frequently nothing more than sophisticated forms of oppression. Catherine Craft-Fairchild's work provides a useful corrective to Castle's treatment of masquerade. She argues that, in fictions by Aphra Behn, Mary Davys, Eliza Haywood, Elizabeth Inchbald, and Frances Burney, masquerade is double-sided. It is represented in some cases as a disempowering capitulation to patriarchal strictures that posit female subordination. Often within the same text, however, masquerade is also depicted as an empowering defiance of the dominant norms for female behavior. Heroines who attempt to separate themselves from the image of womanhood they consciously construct escape victimization. In both cases, masquerade is the condition of femininity: gender in the woman's novel is constructed rather than essential. Craft-Fairchild examines the guises in which womanhood appears, analyzing the ways in which women writers both construct and deconstruct eighteenth-century cultural conceptions of femininity. She offers a careful and engaging textual analysis of both canonical and noncanonical eighteenth-century texts, thereby setting lesser-read fictions into a critical dialogue with more widely known novels. Detailed readings are informed throughout by the ideas of current feminist theorists, including Luce Irigaray, Julia Kristeva, Mary Ann Doane, and Kaja Silverman. Instead of assuming that fictions about women were based on biological fact, Craft-Fairchild stresses the opposite: the domestic novel itself constructs the domestic woman.

Download or read book Hegel's Ethics of Recognition written by Robert R. Williams and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1998-02-10 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this significant contribution to Hegel scholarship, Robert Williams develops the most comprehensive account to date of Hegel's concept of recognition (Anerkennung). Fichte introduced the concept of recognition as a presupposition of both Rousseau's social contract and Kant's ethics. Williams shows that Hegel appropriated the concept of recognition as the general pattern of his concept of ethical life, breaking with natural law theory yet incorporating the Aristotelian view that rights and virtues are possible only within a certain kind of community. He explores Hegel's intersubjective concept of spirit (Geist) as the product of affirmative mutual recognition and his conception of recognition as the right to have rights. Examining Hegel's Jena manuscripts, his Philosophy of Right, the Phenomenology of Spirit, and other works, Williams shows how the concept of recognition shapes and illumines Hegel's understandings of crime and punishment, morality, the family, the state, sovereignty, international relations, and war. A concluding chapter on the reception and reworking of the concept of recognition by contemporary thinkers including Derrida, Levinas, and Deleuze demonstrates Hegel's continuing centrality to the philosophical concerns of our age.

Book excerpt: DANGEROUS MASQUERADE COLLECTION - Enjoy three of award-winning author Miriam Minger's historical romance novels in one dangerously exciting boxed set: The Brigand Bride, The Temptress Bride, and The Impostor Bride! “Five stars . . . should be at the top of your shopping list! Miriam Minger is a fifty-carat jewel.” – Affaire de Coeur THE BRIGAND BRIDE - Captain Garrett Marshall was entrusted with the capture of the mysterious brigand called “Black Jack.” But the azure-eyed beauty hidden beneath the bandit’s manly garb tested Garrett’s loyalty to his King. Inflamed by a desire he could not ignore, the handsome officer would wed his bewitching enemy to save her from the gallows. But first he’d have to quell Maddie Fraser's hatred…and conquer her heart. **Romance Writers of America RITA Award finalist for Best Historical Romance** THE SCANDALOUS BRIDE - Stefan nearly shouted in triumph. He’d searched throughout Vienna for the beguiling tavern wench who had aroused him past endurance, and here she stood like a shimmering goddess...no tavern wench but a lady of the Imperial court. He must have her--he would have her!—if only to safeguard Kassandra's honor by making her his wife. THE IMPOSTOR BRIDE - With a heavy heart, spirited but low-born Susanna Guthrie agrees to honor the deathbed request of the wealthy young woman who rescued her from a life of poverty. Masquerading as her benefactress, Susanna travels to the Virginia colonies to take the dying heiress’ place as head of the plantation Briarwood…and to “marry wisely.” Once, she would have welcomed the attentions of handsome Adam Thornton. But now, consorting with a “hired hand” is unthinkable—though Adam's raw, sensual power leaves Susanna breathless. “With Miriam Minger, you’re assured of a good read!” – Heartland Critiques “Miriam Minger is a master storyteller who illustrates the full gamut of emotions felt by her characters. Emotions so strong that you are pulled into the pages and into their lives.” – Inside Romance

Download or read book Gunsmoke Masquerade written by Peter Dawson and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2014-09-16 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The only hope of finding a US marshal who suspiciously vanished in the desert is rotting in a New Mexico jail! Because of reports of a potential range war in Peñasco County, New Mexico, US Commissioner Guilford dispatches Deputy US Marshal Ed Church to help clean up the mess. But after arriving in Agua Verde by stagecoach and renting a horse to ride to the troubled area, Church disappears. At the same time, two top men from rival ranching operations are found killed outside town the day after Church arrived in Agua Verde, apparently the deadly result of a shoot-out. Guilford knows that Ed Church’s best friend, Streak Mathiot, is currently sitting in the Pleasant City jail. Guilford visits and offers him the job of deputy US marshal to investigate Church’s disappearance. If Streak will accept it, the commissioner’s assignment will take precedence over any local charges against him, and the prisoner would be released into Guilford’s custody. Streak accepts Guilford’s offer to find his friend before it’s too late. But little does he know he’ll be dropped right in the middle of a fight that has already turned violent . . . and possibly deadly. Gunsmoke Masquerade finds Peter Dawson in top form, justifying his reputation as one of the most respected Western writers of all time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Jane Austen and Narrative Authority, Tara Ghoshal Wallace argues that far from embodying ideological and technical serenity, Austen's novels articulate a range of anxieties about authorship and authority. The novels experiment in different ways with possible sources and the ultimate failures of authority, always returning to the compromised figure of the narrator. Wallace suggests that Austen's novelistic output can be read as a theory of interpretation, thematizing problems of narrative authority and readers' resistance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part 3: With one secret rendezvous behind them, Marlowe begins to get cold feet. When he meets Grace on New Year’s Eve, will his midnight kiss mean goodbye? What would you do if you knew you wouldn’t get caught? Unwind with this steamy love story. Told as a 12-part serial, each book is about the length of a glass of wine or a soak in the tub. Isla Foster and Colin Jackman are strangers. Desperate to escape the daily grind of life, they each accept an anonymous invitation to a masquerade ball — one of the most prestigious events in New York City. There they are given lavish costumes, false identities and an opportunity to take part in a seductive game. If they accept, using the aliases Grace and Marlowe, they’ll meet each month for a year in a series of secret rendezvous, consequence free. No one will ever know where they go or what they do, as long as they follow three simple rules: 1. they must never know the other’s identity 2. they must only meet at the prearranged times and places 3. they must not fall in love What could possibly go wrong? “You’ll be hooked from the opening scene.” - Victoria Barbour, USA Today Bestselling Author A Selection of Reviews “Masquerade reads like a piece of chocolate after dinner. It goes down smoothly and leaves you craving more.” “Amazing fantasy getaway. Perfect rainy day read!” “Ms. Francis is a skillful storyteller. She quickly captured the attention of this fussy reader and held my interest through to the end.” “Hard to put down.” "Absolutely phenomenal. Each part is better written than the last.” "I enjoyed this book as another fun diversion from my busy life." "It has excellent characterization and I was pulled into the story, intrigued to know what would happen next." "Absolutely love this format of delivery for a book. Oh Masquerade you have my attention now! I voluntarily reviewed this book." "I really like this book. The characters were believable, the story had some mystery and I liked where the series was going to go with the Masquerade themes. I especially liked how this story was 'as long as a glass of wine'. I didn't test that but it was as long as a short stint on the beach. Now I want to see what happens in the next few stories!" "This first instalment hooked me in every way: interesting opening, great detail, fully-fleshed major characters, each with a problematical life situation and minus my pet peeve -- poor editing. This instalment is expertly written AND edited, so there are no grammatical errors or typos to weaken/distract from the story. Kudos to Ms. Francis. I look forward to reading more!" "What a fun escape these first two books are! I just finished part 2 and am left hanging in suspense and anxiously awaiting part 3 to be delivered. This is a unique way to read for me and I love it. Come on part 3!!!!!!!!!"

Book excerpt: What a shame that someone out there, some group of very strange people, have such a strong driving need to destroy mankind, to enslave it and humiliate it, and teach us all to believe that we have no value and we don't matter and we can't think for ourselves. The wars and genocides are all a part of some grotesque greater plan, and separating the human being from himself is the beginning and end of hope for our species. But we don't have to go along with anything that we know is evil or wrong or destructive. We don't have to choose to be devalued and disrespected by anyone who claims to be more important than ourselves. We already know that no legitimate being would tell us to be less than we are. It's the overt demand that we stop existing. That's slow death from the inside out. On a vast scale, when all of society gets down on its knees to mere men who say they must, it is spiritual genocide. We are free to stop doing it anytime.

Book excerpt: Murder by Masquerade by Camden Wyatt Lust, betrayal, revenge, and murder. It's Hollywood, and it's where acting out non-truths on a daily basis is ordinary and where relationships-and the crimes of doomed relationships-are never what they seem. Hollywood's leading man has tragically given his last performance, falling to his death in front of hundreds of witnesses on the movie set of Sweet Sherry South. The entertainment world is stunned; fans are overcome with grief; and the funeral is grandiose and memorable. But for Lacey Sills doubts arise, and she shares her sensational, often unbelievable, tale with Detectives Zoe Burns and Axel Hawk, who set out to investigate the death and, in the process, discover one of Hollywood's darkest, hidden secrets. The investigation quickly leads them into the shadowy recesses of Hollywood, revealing a vile creature who is totally disguised and hidden by the infamy of the industry itself. And now it has emerged to do battle with Axel and Zoe. Good versus evil, friendship versus narcissism, sacrifice versus greed. Are the charismatic and sympathetic heroes a match for their heinous opponent?

Download or read book Masquerade and Civilization written by Terry Castle and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 1986 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public masquerades were a popular and controversial form of urban entertainment in England for most of the eighteenth century. They were held regularly in London and attended by hundreds, sometimes thousands, of people from all ranks of society who delighted in disguising themselves in fanciful costumes and masks and moving through crowds of strangers. The authors shows how the masquerade played a subversive role in the eighteenth-century imagination, and that it was persistently associated with the crossing of class and sexual boundaries, sexual freedom, the overthrow of decorum, and urban corruption. Authorities clearly saw it as a profound challenge to social order and persistently sought to suppress it. The book is in two parts. In the first, the author recreates the historical phenomenon of the English masquerade: the makeup of the crowds, the symbolic language of costume, and the various codes of verbal exchange, gesture, and sexual behavior. The second part analyzes contemporary literary representations of the masquerade, using novels by Richardson, Fielding, Burney, and Inchbald to show how the masquerade in fiction reflected the disruptive power it had in contemporary life. It also served as an indispensable plot-catalyst, generating the complications out of which the essential drama of the fiction emerged. An epilogue discusses the use of the masquerade as a literary device after the eighteenth century. The book contains some 40 illustrations.

Lindsey Califaro, second in command at Elite Marketing, is suspicious when her boss is killed in a one car accident. She's had a funny feeling about things around the agency for a while and now her spidey senses are going haywire. Something is wrong and she's determined to find out what.
