The Adventures of an Ugly Girl by George Corbett Mrs. Pdf

"The Adventures of an Ugly Girl" is a book that was written by Mrs. George Corbett, who is also known as Elizabeth Burgoyne Corbett. She is from England. During the course of the book, a woman named Dora is told over and over that she is not quite what she seems to be. Dora wasn't going to let that protect her fall back, even though she had to. Instead, she feels good while she's there and just walks around like a "ugly lady." Because of how she looks, Dora's family doesn't like her, and the book is about how that makes her think and feel. It talks about how much pain she feels every day and the bad things that happen to her at home. As the story goes on, readers see how strong and tough Dora is as she moves through the world and does things her own way, which goes against social rules and the idea that a person's beauty is the only thing that makes them valuable. Through its upsetting themes, "The Adventures of an Ugly Girl" looks at society's focus on beauty and how it can change people. It talks about how strong inner beauty, loyalty, and self-appreciation can be when things go wrong.

The Adventures of an Ugly Girl by Elizabeth Burgoyne Corbett Pdf

The Adventures of an Ugly Girl (1893) is a novel by Elizabeth Burgoyne Corbett. While she is mostly remembered today for New Amazonia, a feminist utopian novel which depicts the emergence of an advanced society of women in the not-so-distant future, Corbett was also a pioneering romance and detective novelist. While little is known about Corbett, her surviving novels and stories suggest she was a passionate campaigner for women’s suffrage in an era of conservative politics and traditional values. “‘Why, what does it matter how your hair is dressed, or what sort of a gown you put on? You may just as well spare your pains, for unfortunately nothing that you can do seems to mitigate your ugliness. I’m sure I cannot think where you get it.’” Dora Courtenay is moments away from meeting her new stepmother, but can’t find anything proper to wear for the occasion. Despite her sister Belle’s constant bullying, she finds the confidence to get herself dressed and, with her brother Jerry’s encouragement, goes downstairs to finish preparing the dining room for their guest. As her father and his new bride wait in the next room, Dora, unaware of their presence, makes a crude joke about Lady Elizabeth, only to discover that her insult, however innocent, was overheard. Despite this blunder, the two start off on even ground, leading Dora to believe that she could grow to admire her new stepmother. Soon, however, her step grandfather the Earl of Greatlands makes a surprising request: he would like to marry her, making Dora a Countess. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Elizabeth Burgoyne Corbett’s The Adventures of an Ugly Girl is a classic of Victorian romance literature reimagined for modern readers.

Risk in Children’s Adventure Literature by Elly McCausland Pdf

Risk in Children’s Adventure Literature examines the way in which adults discuss the reading and entertainment habits of children, and with it the assumption that adventure is a timeless and stable constant whose meaning and value is self-evident. A closer enquiry into British and American adventure texts for children over the past 150 years reveals a host of complexities occluded by the term, and the ways in which adults invoke adventure as a means of attempting to get to grips with the nebulous figure of ‘the child’. Writing about adventure also necessitates writing about risk, and this book argues that adults have historically used adventure to conceptualise the relationship between children and risk: the risks children themselves pose to society; the risks that threaten their development; and how they can be trained to manage risk in socially normative and desirable ways. Tracing this tendency back to its development and consolidation in Victorian imperial romance, and forward through various adventure texts and media to the present day, this book probes and investigates the truisms and assumptions that underlie our generalisations about children’s love for adventure, and how they have evolved since the mid-nineteenth century.

The Ugly Woman by Patrizia Bettella Pdf

Taking a philological and feminist approach, and drawing on the Bakhtinian concept of the grotesque body and on the poetics of transgression, The Ugly Woman is a unique look at the essential counterdiscourse of the celebrated Italian poetic canon and a valuable contribution to the study of women in literature.
