Elliott Thompson was once a historian with a promising academic future, but his involvement in a scandal meant a lost job, public shame, and a ruined love life. He took shelter in his rural California hometown, where he teaches online classes, hoards books, and despairs of his future. Simon Odisho has lost a job as well--to a bullet that sidelined his career in law enforcement. While his shattered knee recovers, he rethinks his job prospects and searches for the courage to come out to his close-knit but conservative extended family. In an attempt to manage his overflowing book collection, Elliott builds a miniature neighborhood library in his front yard. The project puts him in touch with his neighbors--for better and worse--and introduces him to handsome, charming Simon. While romance blooms quickly between them, Elliott's not willing to live in the closet, and his best career prospects might take him far away. His books have plenty to tell him about history, but they give him no clues about a future with Simon.

For four women, the bonds of friendship had sustained them for twenty years, through marriage, motherhood — and murder. Looking back, it seemed like paradise — lives filled with the blessings of friendship, marriage, children and career. Over twenty years, four friends shared everything through good times and bad, and together they faced the challenges of life and love head on. Now, one of their number sits alone to ponder the strange twists and turns of fate and the unpredictability of circumstance. Now, she must sift through each of their pasts to discover exactly what went wrong, how dreams turned to nightmares, how friendships faded and how lives were destroyed. In this powerful novel, Joy Fielding explores the bonds women forge, the nature of friendships, and the meaning of unconditional love.

by AUSTIN DOBSON AUTHOR OF STEELE HORACE WALPOLE WILLIAM HOGARTH VIGNETTES IN RHYME ETC. JEnglisb fl en of Letters EDITED BY JOHN MORLEY HARPER BROTHERS PUBLISHERS NEW YORK AND LONDON 1902 HENRY FIELDING PREFATORY NOTE. FROM a critical point of view, the works of Fielding have received abundant examination at the hands of a long line of distinguished writers. Of these, the latest is by no means the least and as Mr. Leslie Stephens brilliant studies, in the recent edition de luxe and the Cornhill Magazine, are now in every ones hands, it is perhaps no more than a wise discretion which has prompted me to confine my attention more strictly to the purely biographical side of the subject. In the present memoir, therefore, I have made it my duty, primarily, to verify such scattered anecdotes respecting Field ing as have come down to us to correct I hope not obtru sively a few mis-statements which have crept into previous accounts and to add such supplementary details as I have been able to discover for myself. In this task I have made use of the following authori ties I. Arthur Murphys Bssay on the Life and Genius of Henry iddi ig, SJsQ, This was prefixed to the first collected edi tion of Fieldings works published by Andrew Millar in June, 1762 and it continued for a long time to be the rec ognised authority for Fieldings life. It is possible that it fairly reproduces his personality, as presented by contempo rary tradition but it is misleading in its facts, and needless ly diffuse. Under pretence of respecting the manes of the dead, the writer seems to have found it pleasanter to fill his space with vagrant discussions on the Middle Comedy of vi PREFATORY NOTE. the Greeks and the machineryof the Eapo of the Lock, than to make the requisite biographical inquiries. This is the more to be deplored, because, in 1763, Fieldings widow, brother, and sister, as well as his friend Lyttclton, were still alive, and trustworthy information should have been procurable. n. Watsons Life of Henry Fielding, Esq. This is usually to be found prefixed to a selection of Fieldings works issued at Edinburgh. It also appeared as a volume in 1807, al though there is no copy of it in this form at the British Mu seum. It carries Murphy a little farther, and corrects him in some instances. But its author had clearly never even seen the Miscellanies of 1743, with their valuable Preface, for he speaks of them as one volume, and in apparent ignorance of their contents. III. Sir Walter Scotts biographical sketch for Ballantynea Novelists Library. This was published in 1821 and is now included in the writers Miscellaneous Prose Works. Sir Wal ter made no pretence to original research, and even spoke slightingly of this particular work but it has all the charm of his practised and genial pen. IV. Roscoes Memoir, compiled for the one-volume edition of Fielding, published by Washbourne and others in 1840. V. Thackerays well-known lecture, in the English 2Iu mourists of the Eighteenth Century, 1853. VI. The Life of Henry Melding with Notices of his Writ ings, his Times, and his Contemporaries. By Frederick Law rence. 1855. This is an exceedingly painstaking book, and constitutes the first serious attempt at a biography. Ita chief defect as pointed out at the time of its appearance is an ill-judged emulation of Forsters Goldsmith. The au thor attempted to make Fielding a literary centre, which is impossibleand the attempt has involved him in needless digressions. He is also not always careful to give chapter and verse for his statements. VII. Thomas Keightleys papers On the Life and Writings of Henry Fielding, i Prases Magazine for January and Feb PREFATORY NOTE. vii ruary, 1858. These, prompted by Mr. Lawrences book, are most valuable, if only for the authors frank distrust of his predecessors. They arc the work of an enthusiast, and a very conscientious examiner. If, as reported, Mr...

Eighteenth century Britain thought of itself as a polite, sentimental, enlightened place, but often its literature belied this self-image. This was an age of satire, and the century's novels, poems, plays, and prints resound with mockery and laughter, with cruelty and wit. The street-level invective of Grub Street pamphleteers is full of satire, and the same accents of raillery echo through the high scepticism of the period's philosophers and poets, many of whom were part-time pamphleteers themselves. The novel, a genre that emerged during the eighteenth century, was from the beginning shot through with satirical colours borrowed from popular romances and scandal sheets. This Handbook is a guide to the different kinds of satire written in English during the 'long' eighteenth century. It focuses on texts that appeared between the restoration of the Stuart monarchy in 1660 and the outbreak of the French Revolution in 1789. Outlier chapters extend the story back to first decade of the seventeenth century, and forward to the second decade of the nineteenth. The scope of the volume is not confined by genre, however. So prevalent was the satirical mode in writing of the age that this book serves as a broad and characteristic survey of its literature. The Oxford Handbook of Eighteenth-Century Satire reflects developments in historical criticism of eighteenth-century writing over the last two decades, and provides a forum in which the widening diversity of literary, intellectual, and socio-historical approaches to the period's texts can come together.

The works of Henry Fielding, though written nearly three hundred years ago, retain their sense of comedy and innovation in the face of tradition, and they easily engage the twenty-first-century student with many aspects of eighteenth-century life: travel, inns, masquerades, political and religious factions, the '45, prisons and the legal system, gender ideals and realities, social class. Part 1 of this volume, "Materials," discusses the available editions of Joseph Andrews, Tom Jones, Shamela, Jonathan Wild, and Amelia; suggests useful critical and contextual works for teaching them; and recommends helpful audiovisual and electronic resources. The essays of part 2, "Approaches," demonstrate that many of the methods and models used for one novel--the romance tradition, Fielding's legal and journalistic writing, his techniques as a playwright, the ideas of Machiavelli--can be adapted to others.

The bestselling historian and journalist James Rosen provides the first comprehensive account of the brilliant and combative Supreme Court justice Antonin Scalia, whose philosophy and judicial opinions defined our legal era. With SCALIA: Rise to Greatness, 1936–1986, the opening installment in a two-volume biography, acclaimed reporter and bestselling historian James Rosen provides the first comprehensive account of the life of Justice Antonin Scalia, whose singular career in government—including three decades on the Supreme Court—shaped American law and society in the twenty-first century. Decades in the making, Rise to Greatness tells the story of the kid from Queens who became the first Italian American on the Court and one of the most profoundly influential figures of our time. This volume takes us from Scalia’s birth to his ascension to the Court, providing a fresh and probing look at his Catholic upbringing and education; his stints in academia and published works, some of them obscure and long-overlooked; and his service in the Nixon and Ford administrations, when Scalia played a central role in reforming the U.S. intelligence community and in the approval of sensitive covert operations. Deeply researched and based on unparalleled access to documentary and personal sources, and written with an intellectual rigor and wit befitting its subject, Rosen’s narrative reads like a novel while presenting startling new insight into the life, mind, career, faith, and legacy of the man whom family and friends called “Nino.” The result is a compelling portrait of an American legend with whom the author personally corresponded, broke bread, drank wine, and braved the streets of the capital as a (nervous) passenger in the justice’s famously speedy BMW. Rosen has unearthed previously unpublished writing from every phase of Scalia’s career, including private Supreme Court emails, and has interviewed Scalia’s family, classmates, students, colleagues from the Nixon, Ford, and Reagan administrations, priests, poker buddies, hunting companions, and fellow judges and justices. Rise to Greatness is a landmark of modern biography, a rich and moving study, accessible to lay readers, that brings to life a towering figure of American history. It is the book Scalia fans, and all citizens interested in history and the law, have long awaited.
