Download or read book Betwixt and Between written by Brenda Ayres and published by Anthem Press. This book was released on 2017-06-15 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Betwixt and Between identifies the biases, errors and ambiguities that have run rampant in the biographies on Mary Wollstonecraft, many of them left unchecked and perpetuated from publication to publication. Brenda Ayres investigates the agenda, problems and strengths of eighteen critical biographies, beginning with William Godwin’s Memoirs (1798), ending with Charlotte Gordon’s Romantic Outlaws (2015) and including ten lesser-known biographies. Betwixt and Between synthesizes the biographies, exposes gaps and contradictions, and attempts to fill and reconcile them, supplying in the process considerable information on Wollstonecraft that has never before been published.

Download or read book A Year with the Ladies of Llangollen written by Lady Eleanor Butler and published by Penguin Group. This book was released on 1986 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In 1778, to the fury of their aristocratic families, Eleanor Butler and Sarah Ponsonby eloped and fled to North Wales, to Llangollen. This charming book is taken from the journal that Eleanor Butler kept of their life together. During their lifetime, its contents aroused much speculation, but no one was permitted to see it and its true nature was protected from prying eyes. In fact, the journal is a delightful record of the ladies' devotion to one another and of the times in which they lived. Elizabeth Mavor's selection includes extracts from the journals themselves, and from the Ladies' Receipt and Account Books, together with a number of unpublished letters, all giving an extraordinarily vivid picture of village life in the late eighteenth century and of the remarkable friendship of the Ladies of Llangollen." -- Amazon.com viewed August 24, 2020.

Download or read book Sowing Empire written by Jill H. Casid and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an ambitious work of wide-ranging literary, visual, and historical allusion, Jill H.Casid examines how landscaping functioned in an imperial mode that defined and remade the "heartlands" of nations as well as the contact zones and colonial peripheries in the West and East Indies. Revealing the colonial landscape as far more than an agricultural system - as a means of regulating national, sexual, and gender identities - Casid also traces how the circulation of plants and hybridity influenced agriculture and landscaping on European soil and how colonial contacts materially shaped what we take as "European."
Book Synopsis The Llangollen Ladies by : Mary Gordon
Download or read book The Llangollen Ladies written by Mary Gordon and published by John Jones Publishing. This book was released on 1999 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Lady Butler and Miss Ponsonby were certainly an odd pair. Born to noble Irish families in the mid Eighteenth Century, they departed in 1778 - flew away like wild geese - to Wales where they settled together in a three-bay stone-built cottage in Llangollen which they re-named Plas Newydd ('the New Mansion'). Professedly living in retirement from the world, they moved in local society, received successions of distinguished visitors, espoused eccentricity, and made it their business to become a legend in their lifetime. They transformed their house, adding a Gothic library and much else. The porch and door are a riot of fragments, and the tiny entrance hall and the staircase are indescribably encrusted. So too is the Oak Room, with its Spanish leather, dated 1814 above the fireplace. They installed a great deal of stained glass. They had a mania for collecting carved oak. The grand house, Plas Newydd, is in a fine state of preservation, care of the County Council, and is well worth exploring, inside and out. It stands in memory of two of the most peculiar and interesting people ever to be part of the long and varied history of North Wales"--Amazon.com.

Book Synopsis The Irish Short Story at the Turn of the Twenty-First Century by : Madalina Armie
Download or read book The Irish Short Story at the Turn of the Twenty-First Century written by Madalina Armie and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-12-30 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the mid-1990s, Ireland was experiencing the "best of times". The Celtic Tiger seemed to instil in the national consciousness that poverty was a problem of the past. The impressive economic performance ensured that the Republic occupied one of the top positions among the world’s economic powers. During the boom, dissident voices continuously criticised what they considered to be a mirage, identifying the precariousness of its structures and foretelling its eventual crash. The 2008 recession proved them right. Throughout this time, the Irish contemporary short story expressed distrust. Enabled by its capacity to reflect change with immediacy and dexterity, the short story saw through the smokescreen created by the Celtic Tiger discourse of well-being. It reinterpreted and captured the worst and the best of the country and became a bridge connecting tradition and modernity. The major objective of this book is to analyse the interactions between fiction and reality during this period in Ireland by studying the short stories written by old and emergent voices published between the birth of the Celtic Tiger in 1995 up to its immediate aftermath in 2013.

Removed from the intrusive gaze of the world, the fictional Eleanor and Sarah retreat to their shared home to study literature and language and enjoy their solitude. In an imagined account, Doris Grumbach brings this gripping chronicle to new audiences. With a keen sense of the rhythms and routines of longtime partnership, Grumbach breathes vivid life into this fascinating story of a passion both shocking and steadfast.
Book Synopsis I Know My Own Heart by : Anne Lister
Download or read book I Know My Own Heart written by Anne Lister and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 1992-06 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Upon publication, the first volume of Anne Lister's diaries, I Know My Own Heart, met with celebration, delight, and some skepticism. How could an upper class Englishwoman, in the first half of the nineteenth century, fulfill her emotional and sexual needs when her sexual orientation was toward other women? How did an aristocratic lesbian manage to balance sexual fulfillment with social acceptability? Helena Whitbread, the editor of these diaries, here allows us an inside look at the long-running love affair between Anne Lister and Marianna Lawton, an affair complicated by Anne's infatuation with Maria Barlow. Anne travels to Paris where she discovers a new love interest that conflicts with her developing social aspirations. For the first time, she begins to question the nature of her identity and the various roles female lovers may play in the life of a gentrywoman. Though unequipped with a lesbian vocabulary with which to describe her erotic life, her emotional conflicts are contemporary enough to speak to us all. This book will satisfy the curiosity of the many who became acquainted with Lister through I Know My Own Heart and are eager to learn more about her revealing life and what it suggests about the history of sexuality.
Book Synopsis The Secret Diaries Of Miss Anne Lister: Vol. 1 by : Anne Lister
Download or read book The Secret Diaries Of Miss Anne Lister: Vol. 1 written by Anne Lister and published by Virago. This book was released on 2010-11-04 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover the extraordinary diaries of the real Anne Lister: the inspiration for Gentleman Jack and Emma Donoghue's new novel Learned By Heart 'Engaging, revealing, at times simply astonishing' SARAH WATERS '[Anne Lister's] sense of self, and self-awareness, is what makes her modern to us . . . The diaries gave me courage' JEANETTE WINTERSON 'The Lister diaries are the Dead Sea Scrolls of lesbian history' EMMA DONOGHUE When this volume of Anne Lister's diaries was first published in 1988, it was hailed as a vital piece of lost lesbian history. The editor, Helena Whitbread, had spent years painstakingly researching and transcribing Lister's extensive journals, much of which were written in an elaborate code - what Lister called her 'crypthand', which allowed her to record her life in intimate, and at times, explicit, detail. Until then, Anne Lister's lesbianism had been supressed or hinted at; this was the first time her story had been told. Anne Lister defied the role of nineteenth century womanhood: she was bold, fiercely independent, a landowner, industrialist, traveller and lesbian - a woman who lived her life on her own terms. These diaries include the years 1816-1824. The second volume, continuing Anne's story, THE SECRET DIARIES OF MISS ANNE LISTER: NO PRIEST BUT LOVE, is now available.
Book Synopsis In Search of Wales by : H. V. Morton
Download or read book In Search of Wales written by H. V. Morton and published by Methuen Pub Limited. This book was released on 1999-07-03 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: H. V. Morton's famous and much-loved travelogue of Wales. Singularly susceptible to Celtic romance and history, H. V. Morton goes in search of Wales, and finds equal delight in climbing Snowdon (inclement weather aside) and going down a coal mine. Bustling with intriguing local stories and characters, Morton's fascinating account reaches from the scenic grandeur of the north to the domestic beauty of the industrial south. In the Vale of Clwyd it rains "with grim enthusiasm," while at the Eisteddfod in Bangor, he is "slightly worried by the trousers of bard and druid, which are visible for a few inches below their gowns. Father Christmas has this same trouble with his trousers." Anecdotal, leisurely, full of character and event, insight, and opinion, this is travel writing of the very highest order.
