Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first generation of young people following the Revolution were full of hope and anxious to stretch their wings through education and adventure. We know the Dering family's activities because the father Sylvester who saved his letters also wrote of family affairs to his son Nicoll who also saved his letters. These are stories of nine young people (all of whom are related, save one) told through their letters. Abraham Tuthill aspired to be a portrait painter; Frances Dering and Frances Sage would forge a deep bond; Sisters Catherine and Frances Huntington shared a school in New York; Charles Thomas Dering invested in the Union, a whaling ship; Mary L'Hommedieu suffered financially as a child; Margaret Dering married a man who was disowned by his father for seeking a career as a preacher; Eliza Gardiner found comfort in a kind man.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Katherine Philips was a major seventeenth-century poet and playwright who became widely known for her innovative use of Donnean poetics to express passionate female friendship, her occasional verses on private friends and public figures, and her moral and political acuity. She had the mixed fortune of being enshrined in posthumous volumes that both celebrated and misrepresented her achievement. Fortunately recent research has clarified our understanding of who Philips was and how she conducted her literary career.
Book Synopsis Autobiography of Mark Twain, Volume 3 by : Mark Twain
Download or read book Autobiography of Mark Twain, Volume 3 written by Mark Twain and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2015-10-15 with total page 771 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The surprising final chapter of a great American life. When the first volume of Mark Twain’s uncensored Autobiography was published in 2010, it was hailed as an essential addition to the shelf of his works and a crucial document for our understanding of the great humorist’s life and times. This third and final volume crowns and completes his life’s work. Like its companion volumes, it chronicles Twain's inner and outer life through a series of daily dictations that go wherever his fancy leads. Created from March 1907 to December 1909, these dictations present Mark Twain at the end of his life: receiving an honorary degree from Oxford University; railing against Theodore RooseveAutobiography’s "Closing Words” movingly commemorate his daughter Jean, who died on Christmas Eve 1909. Also included in this volume is the previously unpublished "Ashcroft-Lyon Manuscript,” Mark Twain’s caustic indictment of his "putrescent pair” of secretaries and the havoc that erupted in his house during their residency. Fitfully published in fragments at intervals throughout the twentieth century, Autobiography of Mark Twain has now been critically reconstructed and made available as it was intended to be read. Fully annotated by the editors of the Mark Twain Project, the complete Autobiography emerges as a landmark publication in American literature.

Book Synopsis Friendship's Shadows: Women's Friendship and the Politics of Betrayal in England, 1640-1705 by : Penelope Anderson
Download or read book Friendship's Shadows: Women's Friendship and the Politics of Betrayal in England, 1640-1705 written by Penelope Anderson and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2012-08-31 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Penelope Anderson's original study changes our understanding both of the masculine Renaissance friendship tradition and of the private forms of women's friendship of the eighteenth century and after. It uncovers the latent threat of betrayal lurking within politicized classical and humanist friendship, showing its surprising resilience as a model for political obligation undone and remade. Incorporating authors from Cicero to Abraham Cowley and Margaret Cavendish to Mary Astell, the book focuses on two extraordinary women writers, the royalist Katherine Philips and the republican Lucy Hutchinson. And it explores the ways in which they appropriate the friendship tradition in order to address problems of conflicting allegiances in the English Civil Wars and Restoration. As Penelope Anderson suggests, their writings on friendship provide a new account of women's relation to public life, organized through textual exchange rather than bodily reproduction.
