Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A gorgeous and inspiring picture book biography of Jane Austen, one of the most beloved writers of all time, from award-winning author Deborah Hopkinson. It is a truth universally acknowledged that Jane Austen is one of our greatest writers. But before that, she was just an ordinary girl. In fact, young Jane was a bit quiet and shy; if you had met her back then, you might not have noticed her at all. But she would have noticed you. Jane watched and listened to all the things people around her did and said, and locked those observations away for safekeeping. Jane also loved to read. She devoured everything in her father’s massive library and before long, she began creating her own stories. In her time, the most popular books were grand adventures and romances, but Jane wanted to go her own way...and went on to invent an entirely new kind of novel. Ordinary, Extraordinary Jane Austen includes a timeline and quotes from Austen's most popular novels. Parents and grandparents, as well as teachers and librarians, will enjoy introducing children to Jane Austen through this accessible, beautifully packaged picture book.

Book excerpt: For fans of I Dissent and She Persisted -- and Jane Austen fans of all ages -- a picture book biography about the beloved and enduring writer and how she found her unique voice. Witty and mischievous Jane Austen grew up in a house overflowing with words. As a young girl, she delighted in making her family laugh with tales that poked fun at the popular novels of her time, stories that featured fragile ladies and ridiculous plots. Before long, Jane was writing her own stories-uproariously funny ones, using all the details of her life in a country village as inspiration. In times of joy, Jane's words burst from her pen. But after facing sorrow and loss, she wondered if she'd ever write again. Jane realized her writing would not be truly her own until she found her unique voice. She didn't know it then, but that voice would go on to capture readers' hearts and minds for generations to come.

Book Synopsis Loving Literature by : Deidre Shauna Lynch
Download or read book Loving Literature written by Deidre Shauna Lynch and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2014-12-22 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most common—and wounding—misconceptions about literary scholars today is that they simply don’t love books. While those actually working in literary studies can easily refute this claim, such a response risks obscuring a more fundamental question: why should they? That question led Deidre Shauna Lynch into the historical and cultural investigation of Loving Literature. How did it come to be that professional literary scholars are expected not just to study, but to love literature, and to inculcate that love in generations of students? What Lynch discovers is that books, and the attachments we form to them, have played a vital role in the formation of private life—that the love of literature, in other words, is deeply embedded in the history of literature. Yet at the same time, our love is neither self-evident nor ahistorical: our views of books as objects of affection have clear roots in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century publishing, reading habits, and domestic history. While never denying the very real feelings that warm our relationship to books, Loving Literature nonetheless serves as a riposte to those who use the phrase “the love of literature” as if its meaning were transparent. Lynch writes, “It is as if those on the side of love of literature had forgotten what literary texts themselves say about love’s edginess and complexities.” With this masterly volume, Lynch restores those edges and allows us to revel in those complexities.
Download or read book Jane Austen written by Mary DeForest and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-04-05 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is a truth universally established that Jane Austen knew neither Latin nor Greek. As a literary detective, Mary Margolies DeForest disputes this. In Austen's day, classically educated women were loathed. Austen wanted readers to know that she and her best characters had a classical education--just not in her lifetime! Unlike writers who paraded their educational credentials, Austen did not send modern readers diving into footnotes to translate a chunk of Greek or Latin. Instead, she revealed a classical education subtly but profoundly. As DeForest argues, a classical education shapes Austen's characters, their language, and their stories.
Download or read book Mr. & written by Jameson Fitzpatrick and published by Indolent Books. This book was released on 2018-08-15 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These poem grapple with issues of how relationships are defined and what we gain or lose from them, including same-sex and opposite-sex relationships alike. The poem reflect on the experience not only of the poet, but also of wives throughout history, particularly as represented in classic literary texts from Geoffrey Chaucer to Joan Didion. For example, Fitzpatrick's "The Genius of Wives of Geniuses I Have Sat With" is inspired by a paragraph in Gertrude Stein's The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas. The fragments of the central poetry sequence, "Mr. &," draw their language, respectively, from the final chapters of Jane Eyre by Charlotte BrontË, The Return of the Soldier by Rebecca West, Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus by Mary Shelley, Wuthering Heights by Emily BrontË, Emma by Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf, Little Women by Louisa May Alcott, Summer by Edith Wharton, The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath, Play It As It Lays by Joan Didion, How Should A Person Be? by Sheila Heti, Summer Rain by Marguerite Duras, The Awakening by Kate Chopin, The Lover by Marguerite Duras, and Asa, As I Knew Him by Susanna Kaysen. Fitzpatrick's "The Definition of" comprises various Google results for different manipulations of the phrase "marriage is," and his poem "Vow" draws its language from what is thought to be Anne Boleyn's last letter to her husband Henry VIII, written while she was awaiting execution at the Tower of London. Together, these poems constitute an extended meditation on what comes after the ampersand in the phrase that serves as the title of the book, "Mr. &."
Book Synopsis Jane Austen and Shelley in the Garden by : Janet Todd
Download or read book Jane Austen and Shelley in the Garden written by Janet Todd and published by . This book was released on 2021-07-09 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eccentric Fran wants a second chance. Thanks to her intimacy with Jane Austen, and the poet Shelley, she finds one. Jane Austen is such a presence in Fran's life that she seems to share her cottage and garden, becoming an imaginary friend. Fran's conversations with Jane Austen guide and chide her - but Fran is ready for change after years of teaching, reading and gardening. An encounter with a long-standing English friend, and an American writer, leads to new possibilities. Adrift, the three women bond through a love of books and a quest for the idealist poet Shelley at two pivotal moments of his life: in Wales and Venice. His otherworldly longing and yearning for utopian communities lead the women to interrogate their own past as well as motherhood, feminism, the resurgence of childhood memory in old age, the tensions and attractions between generations. Despite the appeal of solitude, the women open themselves social to ways of living - outside partnership and family. Jane Austen, as always, has plenty of comments to offer. The novel is a (light) meditation on age, mortality, friendship, hope, and the excitement of change.
