Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Isabelle and Frank Flynn...Rosannah and Harry Weldrake...sisters and brothers from opposite ends of Victorian society. The Weldrakes are decadent heirs to a wealthy family of racehorse breeders, the Flynns the illegitimate children of a notorious stallion leader and a country alehouse keeper. When Rosannah defies convention to marry Frank, she allows unbridled passion to blind her to the fact that her social position is the bait that attracts the young fist-fighter. There are those determined to put an end to this sham marriage, but it is left to Frank's naive sister, Isabelle, to suffer the consequences of his ambitions to become a gentleman. The drama between the Weldrakes and the Flynns, played out against the richly evocative background of Sussex in the 1870s, creates tensions which must finally explode into violence, bringing with it the taint of public scandal... and finally a love that redeems all.

Book excerpt: Isabelle de Charrière (Belle van Zuylen) has been known primarily as a novelist who experimented with narrative techniques to express her concern about the oppression of women in her society. Most scholarship has focused on only a small part of her work, her pre-revolutionary novels. This is one of the first synthetic studies of Charrière's entire oeuvre, and it turns its attention to Charrière's overlooked contribution as an intellectual in the eighteenth-century debate over education. In addition, Letzter analyzes the rhetorical and discursive strategies Charrière employed to insert herself in this debate; a debate from which she was excluded because she was a woman and she was not French. Letzter's model for this analysis is the rhetorical figure of tacking, a nautical term used by Charrière herself in order to describe her tactics for intellectual engagement within the gendered environment the gendered environment of revolutionary debate. Letzter demonstrates Charrière's contribution as an important intellectual of the Revolution and of the post-revolutionary period, whose significance resided in her ability to express her ambivalence toward the theories and ideologies that ceaselessly imposed themselves on women.

Avery has everything: looks, a prestigious career, and a flawless life. Everything, that is, except somebody to love.

Suddenly, Avery’s perfect life turns upside down as she struggles to reconcile her feelings for the woman who broke her heart. With her fellow Ashland Witches happily settled, it seems inevitable that Avery is next to find love.

Book excerpt: This collection of essays seeks to challenge the notion of the supremacy of the brain as the key organ of the Enlightenment, by focusing on the workings of the bowels and viscera that so obsessed writers and thinkers during the long eighteenth-century. These inner organs and the digestive process acted as counterpoints to politeness and other modes of refined sociability, drawing attention to the deeper workings of the self. Moving beyond recent studies of luxury and conspicuous consumption, where dysfunctional bowels have been represented as a symptom of excess, this book seeks to explore other manifestations of the visceral and to explain how the bowels played a crucial part in eighteenth-century emotions and perceptions of the self. The collection offers an interdisciplinary and cross-cultural perspective on entrails and digestion by addressing urban history, visual studies, literature, medical history, religious history, and material culture in England, France, and Germany.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Virginia Woolf, to whom university admittance had been forbidden, watched the universities open their doors. Though she was happy that her sisters could study in university libraries, she cautioned women against joining the procession of educated men and being co-opted into protecting a “civilization” with values alien to women. Now, as Woolf’s disloyal (unfaithful) daughters, who have professional positions in Belgian universities, Isabelle Stengers and Vinciane Despret, along with a collective of women scholars in Belgium and France, question their academic careers and reexamine the place of women and their role in thinking, both inside and outside the university. They urge women to heed Woolf’s cry—Think We Must—and to always make a fuss about injustice, cruelty, and arrogance.

Book excerpt: That Sweet Enemy brings both British wit (Robert Tombs is a British historian) and French panache (Isabelle Tombs is a French historian) to bear on three centuries of the history of Britain and France. From Waterloo to Chirac’s slandering of British cooking, the authors chart this cross-channel entanglement and the unparalleled breadth of cultural, economic, and political influence it has wrought on both sides, illuminating the complex and sometimes contradictory aspects of this relationship—rivalry, enmity, and misapprehension mixed with envy, admiration, and genuine affection—and the myriad ways it has shaped the modern world. Written with wit and elegance, and illustrated with delightful images and cartoons from both sides of the Channel, That Sweet Enemy is a unique and immensely enjoyable history, destined to become a classic.

Book excerpt: Two Novels includes The Marvelously Twisted Tale of Lucas Fico and Gato Pech and The Morning Lark. The first novel is a dark thriller set in Northern Germany about a promiscuous cafe waiter turned psycho killer. Lucas Fico heads down the path of murder after encountering an impish geezer with mysteriously magical and psychic qualities named Gato Pech. Pech promises Lucas all the luck in the world in return for a few criminal favors: the seduction of a local married woman with the intent of making her commit suicide, a massacre of stray cats, and the poisoning of some of the township's homeless. Lucas agrees, hoping to gain the woman of his dreams as his mistress and become filthy rich through the unique enchantments of Gato Pech. He does, but his gains are short-lived. After several months, feeling he will be apprehended and brought to trial, the nerve-wracked waiter kills both his mistress and himself in a fiery murder-suicide. The Morning Lark is an urban drama set in New York about the decline of CEO William O'Henry's marriage. His betrayal begins when he shows more affection for his sultry Swedish coworker, Arvid Jonasonn, than for his wife, Catherine, or their kids. After coming home late from a night on the town, Catherine perceives the cheap perfume smell on William's lapels and opts to divorce him. However, Catherine's cousin, Eric Jonson, who is also O'Henry's underling, is already in love with Catherine. The two cousins manage to find love together in spite of O'Henry's jealousy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In fact, her originality extends far beyond this scale. Charriere's novels not only work with literary conventions, they work on these conventions. For example, the figure of the heroine, plotted according to a standard plot line, serves at a more complex level to undermine the image of woman embedded in the heroine. Most telling are heroines plotted in the context of the French Revolution; they reflect the repressive image of woman that would emerge from the combination of republican ideology with the growing emphasis on maternalism. Surprisingly modern in this regard, these novels confirm recent interpretations of the gendering of the social sphere after the Revolution.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anne of France (1461-1522), daughter of Louis XI and sister of Charles VIII, was one of the most powerful women of the fifteenth century. She was referred to by her contemporaries as Madame la Grande, and remained an active and influential figure in France throughout her life. As the fifteenth century drew to a close, Anne composed a series of enseignements, "lessons", for her daughter Suzanne of Bourbon. These instructions represent a distillation of a lifetime's experience, and are presented through the portrait of an ideal princess, thus preparing her daughter to act both circumspectly and politically. Having steered her own course successfully, Anne offers her daughter advice intended to help her negotiate the difficult passage of a woman in the world of politics. This is the first translation into English of Anne of France's Lessons.

Book excerpt: Set in the rich and fascinating milieu of Cape Town in the 1830s, with its shifting patterns of social awareness and the growth of scientific knowledge, Comets tells the story of James and Isabelle Forster, whose lives, and those around them, are changed irrevocably not only by the appearance of a real comet – Halley’s – but by human “comets” including the aristocratic Michael Percy, the young Charles Darwin and a recently-emancipated slave couple, Adam and Catharine Cupido. James and Isabelle’s comfortable upper middle-class existence threatens to spin out of control as they confront moral crises they seem unable to resolve. Some readers' reviews about 'Comets': Excellent Historical Romance Novel Comets by Clive Algar is one of the best general fiction books I have read in a long time. It is full of life, love and romance. I really enjoyed this book. The author did an excellent job of developing a tale which captured my interest and would not let it go. The story takes place in South Africa in the early 1800s and is so realistic it carries you there. The pace was great and the storyline was very realistic and believable. I really liked the way Clive Algar developed his characters. They were easy to believe in and identify with. His writing style made it easy to get into the characters, their role and historical era. I really enjoyed Comets by Clive Algar and highly recommend this book to all readers. ~ Wonderful insight into cape town life in the 1800s Not only is this a well-written novel providing insight into life in Cape Town in the 1800s, it offers insights into the great scientific debates also emerging at the time. Algar does a splendid job in developing his main characters with detail that brings them to life. Recommended to anyone who wants to know more about society, commerce, science and life in that era in that interesting part of the world. ~ Good perspective of life in Cape Town in the early 1800's A very enjoyable and interesting novel with good character development. Very descriptive and well written story with sensitive handling of the various character's faith and morality issues. ~ Excellent Excellent read. Kept me interested and excited. Characters well placed in the historical context. I wanted more, it finished too soon. ~ Highly recommended This is a most interesting book in diverse ways. It provides a very well researched and cogent description of Cape Town and its inhabitants in the mid 19th century together with a lively and compelling narrative encompassing emancipation, love, lust, infidelity, faltering faith and the conflict between emerging ideas on evolutionary theory and religion. ~ Highly recommend A well-written novel. Clever use of personification and skillful character development made it difficult to put down once I began reading. History and culture of the times were carefully woven into the fabric of the story. Being American, I found it interesting to be able to compare life in South Africa with that of the United States during that time period. The many unanswered questions at the end left me wishing for more chapters. (Perhaps another novel?) A great read. Gift it to a friend.
