This book was released on 2023-11-28 with total page 557 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: E. M. Delafield's 'The Provincial Lady Series' is a quintessential portrayal of the life of an English middle-class woman in the early 20th century. Written in the form of a diary, the series consists of five novels that elegantly capture the challenges, humor, and social norms of the time. Delafield's witty and satirical style, combined with her sharp observations of the minutiae of daily life, make these novels both entertaining and insightful. The series stands as a valuable piece of literature that offers a window into the domestic and social dynamics of the era. Readers will find themselves engrossed in the Provincial Lady's world, laughing at her mishaps and sympathizing with her frustrations. E. M. Delafield, herself a middle-class woman living in England during the early 20th century, drew inspiration from her own experiences to create this beloved series. Her keen insight into the social conventions and gender roles of the time adds depth and authenticity to the Provincial Lady's narrative. I highly recommend 'The Provincial Lady Series' to readers interested in classic literature, women's writing, and social history. Delafield's skillful storytelling and perceptive commentary make this collection a must-read for anyone looking to explore the nuances of everyday life in the early 20th century.

Download or read book Albion's Seed written by David Hackett Fischer and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1991-03-14 with total page 981 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fascinating book is the first volume in a projected cultural history of the United States, from the earliest English settlements to our own time. It is a history of American folkways as they have changed through time, and it argues a thesis about the importance for the United States of having been British in its cultural origins. While most people in the United States today have no British ancestors, they have assimilated regional cultures which were created by British colonists, even while preserving ethnic identities at the same time. In this sense, nearly all Americans are "Albion's Seed," no matter what their ethnicity may be. The concluding section of this remarkable book explores the ways that regional cultures have continued to dominate national politics from 1789 to 1988, and still help to shape attitudes toward education, government, gender, and violence, on which differences between American regions are greater than between European nations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in Germany in 1929, The End and the Beginning is a lively personal memoir of a vanished world and of a rebellious, high-spirited young woman's struggle to achieve independence. Born in 1883 into a distinguished and wealthy aristocratic family of the old Austro-Hungarian Empire, Hermynia Zur Muhlen spent much of her childhood travelling in Europe and North Africa with her diplomat father. After five years on her German husband's estate in czarist Russia she broke with both her family and her husband and set out on a precarious career as a professional writer committed to socialism. Besides translating many leading contemporary authors, notably Upton Sinclair, into German, she herself published an impressive number of politically engaged novels, detective stories, short stories, and children's fairy tales. Because of her outspoken opposition to National Socialism, she had to flee her native Austria in 1938 and seek refuge in England, where she died, virtually penniless, in 1951. This revised and corrected translation of Zur Muhlen's memoir - with extensive notes and an essay on the author by Lionel Gossman - will appeal especially to readers interested in women's history, the Central European aristocratic world that came to an end with the First World War, and the culture and politics of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
