Only one woman possesses the power to help Paul in his quest.

Book Synopsis Thomas Hardy's Legal Fictions by : Trish Ferguson
Download or read book Thomas Hardy's Legal Fictions written by Trish Ferguson and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2013-08-20 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explores Thomas Hardy's engagement with Victorian legal debates in his prose fiction. Thomas Hardy's fiction is examined in this book in the context of the seismic legal reforms of the nineteenth century as well as legal discourse in the literature of the era. The book examines the ways in which Hardy's role as a magistrate and his interest in the law impacted fundamentally on his prose fiction. It demonstrates that throughout his prose fiction Hardy engages with contentious legal issues that were debated by legal professionals and literary figures of his day, and argues that Hardy used fiction as a forum to question the extent to which legal reform improved the lives of women and the working classes.The study also looks at the ways in which Hardy deployed criminal plots derived from sensation fiction and reveals that the genre's engagement with legal reform influenced not only his sensation novel Desperate Remedies (1871) but also the plots of his subsequent fiction.

Book Synopsis Zelda’s Final Story by : Elizabeth Léonie Simpson
Download or read book Zelda’s Final Story written by Elizabeth Léonie Simpson and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2014-07-29 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Where does evil reside? In witches or those most people would consider psychopathic? Not always. Sometimes it is discovered in ordinary people like Zelda who consider themselves to be good Christians—people who have been permanently warped by tragedy. Distortion follows distortion until innocence and naiveté disappear and everyday life is steeped in wilful, black destruction. Vain and arrogant, Zelda tells her own story. She carries to extremes her need to be the ruler of her world. When she becomes the sole guardian of her little sister, Netty, she blames her drunken French father for her mother’s accidental death. Raised in the Oklahoma farmhouse, Zelda assumes control of the homestead and extends her hatred of Papa to all other males, including Cousin Noll whom she deliberately cripples to force him to work for her. When she discovers his collection of sun-colored glass bottles, she shatters his hoard. Over time, more help is needed on the farm. Zelda entices an itinerant potter to move in, work for her, and build his own kiln (which she tests by the secret murder of Netty’s beloved kitten.) Netty is home-schooled, convinced that she is both sickly and shy. After Noll arrives, her world widens, but Ethan, the independent craftsman, alters it completely. Toward the end, Cousin Noll, crippled and desperate, tries again to escape. So does Ethan until she bribes him with land and payment if he will marry Netty and stay. He agrees but before their baby, Charles, is born he is loading his wares in his truck intending to leave what he considers to be dangerous oppression. In a parting act of defiance he comes to bed Zelda before he leaves. She agrees without a struggle, but afterwards, while he sleeps, overwhelmed by her loss of power, she ends his flight permanently. After that comes the turning point when Netty, learning the truth about her sister’s past and her use of Ethan’s kiln, for the first time in her life makes a decision for herself and child.
