When an unsuitable gentleman appears to court a baron's daughter, it's an older sister's duty to stand in his way. And, of course, not fall in love with him herself. Matilda "Mattie" Rayment is a woman embroiled in a delicate mission: to ensure her vivacious younger sister, Beatrice, makes a prosperous match before the curtain falls on this Season. Their family's waning reputation and looming financial ruin add urgency to her quest. When Oliver Bolton, a newly minted gentleman and nephew to their family's steward, shows an interest in Beatrice, Mattie's plans teeter on the brink of unraveling. Oliver Bolton has harbored a distant infatuation for Miss Beatrice Rayment, but has always kept his feelings at bay, hemmed in by the limits of his social standing. Now the owner of a modest estate, Oliver finds himself in possession of a newly minted ticket to society's intricate dance. At last, he can pursue the woman of his dreams—except, it seems, his dreams may be outdated. As Mattie attempts to divert Oliver from what she deems would be an imprudent union with her sister, she finds her own heart increasingly ensnared by the charming steward’s nephew. Similarly, Oliver discovers that the woman who most captures his imagination is not Beatrice, but Mattie herself. As the Season draws to a close, Mattie and Oliver must confront an essential question: can they set aside societal norms and their own well-laid plans to listen to the quiet stirrings of their hearts? In this closed-door Regency romance, the anticipated dance of courtship takes unforeseen steps, forcing Mattie and Oliver to decide if their future happiness is worth the risk of an unconventional match. Originally published as part of An Evening at Almack's, a Regency Collection, this edition has been edited and expanded.

Molly Pohlig's The Unsuitable is a fierce blend of Gothic ghost story and Victorian novel of manners that’s also pitch perfect for our current cultural moment. Iseult Wince is a Victorian woman perilously close to spinsterhood whose distinctly unpleasant father is trying to marry her off. She is awkward, plain, and most pertinently, believes that her mother, who died in childbirth, lives in the scar on her neck. Iseult’s father parades a host of unsuitable candidates before her, the majority of whom Iseult wastes no time frightening away. When at last her father finds a suitor desperate enough to take Iseult off his hands—a man whose medical treatments have turned his skin silver—a true comedy of errors ensues. As history’s least conventional courtship progresses into talk of marriage, Iseult’s mother becomes increasingly volatile and uncontrollable, and Iseult is forced to resort to extreme, often violent, measures to keep her in check. As the day of the wedding nears, Iseult must decide whether (and how) to set the course of her life, with increasing interference from both her mother and father, tipping her ever closer to madness, and to an inevitable, devastating final act.

Skaldic Verse and the Poetics of Saga Narrative by Heather O'Donoghue Pdf
Skaldic Verse and the Poetics of Saga Narrative is a study of the varying relationships between verse and prose in a series of Old Norse-Icelandic saga narratives. It shows how the interplay of skaldic verse, with its metrical intricacy and cryptic diction, and saga prose, with its habitual spare clarity, can be used to achieve a wide variety of sophisticated stylistic and psychological effects. In sagas, there is a fundamental distinction between verses which are ostensibly quoted to corroborate what is stated in the narrative, and verses which are presented as the speech of characters in the saga. Corroborative verses are typical of-but not confined to-historical writings, the verses acting as a footnote to the narrative. Dialogue verses, with their illusion that saga characters break into verse at crucial points in the story, belong to the realm of fiction. This study, which focuses on historical writings such as Ágrip and Heimskringla, and three of the major family sagas, Eyrbyggja saga, Gisla saga and Grettis saga, shows that a close reading of the prosimetrum in the narrative can be used to chart the complex and delicate boundaries between history and fiction in the sagas. When skaldic stanzas are presented as the dialogue of saga characters, the characteristic naturalism of these narratives is breached. But some saga authors, as this book shows, extend still further the expressiveness of saga narrative, presenting skaldic stanzas as the soliloquies of saga characters. This technique enables the direct articulation of emotion, and hence dramatic focalization of the narrative and the creation of psychological climaxes. As an epilogue, Heather O'Donoghue considers the absence of such effects in Hrafnkels saga-a highly literary narrative without verses.
