Tides of Passion by Diana Tremain Braund Pdf

Amy and Kelly have made a home in the sleepy community of Bath Island, Maine. However, their three year relationship has become choppy and Kelly wonders if she wants to spend the rest of her life being the target of her lover’s razor-sharp tongue. Then Susan arrives on the Island with a new venture that would be long on economic opportunities but short on maintaining the island’s natural beauty. Sparks fly, not only over how the island will be developed, but also as Susan’s interest in one of the women becomes more than a friendship. As complications develop, Susan finds herself at odds with everyone – including her new love interest. Will Susan be able to hold it all together and finally find the one woman who touches her soul?

Passion, Prudence, and Virtue in Shakespearean Drama by Unhae Park Langis Pdf

Virtue, as a Renaissance ideal, was largely conceived as a rational governing of unruly passions. Revising this early modern commonplace, this study shows how Shakespeare dramatizes a discerning Aristotelian conception of virtue as a touchstone of excellence: executing just action at the best time, in the best way, and for the best end within the contingent world. Not only situational, Aristotelian virtue is, moreover, integrative, harmonizing passion and reason, will and understanding, towards personal and civil good. Yet as a surprising backfire on the misogynist streak in Aristotle, the resistant female characters in Shakespeare emerge as the exemplars of ethical action, appropriating traditionally male-inflected virtue. At the junction of ethical, psycho-physiological, cultural and gender studies, this approach of prudential psychology bridges an apparent but needless divergence of critical focus between affect and cognition, ethics and prudential action. Firmly situated in new historicist practices, prudential psychology goes beyond narrow discourses of power into the all-encompassing arena of virtue as the complete life, which recommends an interdisciplinary approach for a fuller understanding of Shakespeare's works.

Vitagraph by Andrew A. Erish Pdf

Winner of the 2022 Peter C. Rollins Book Award and the 2022 Browne Best Edited Reference/Primary Source Work in Popular and American Culture Award In Vitagraph: America's First Great Motion Picture Studio, Andrew A. Erish provides a comprehensive examination and reassessment of the company most responsible for defining and popularizing the American movie. This history challenges long-accepted Hollywood mythology that Paramount and Fox invented the feature film, that Universal created the star system, and that these companies, along with MGM and Warner Bros., developed motion pictures into a multimillion-dollar business. In fact, the truth about Vitagraph is far more interesting than the myths that later moguls propagated about themselves. Established in 1897 by J. Stuart Blackton and Albert E. Smith, Vitagraph was the leading producer of motion pictures for much of the silent era. Vitagraph established America's studio system, a division of labor utilizing specialized craftspeople and artists and developed fundamental aspects of American movies, from framing, lighting, and performance style to emphasizing character-driven comedy and drama in stories that respected and sometimes poked fun at every demographic of Vitagraph's vast audience. For most of its existence America's most influential studio was headquartered in Brooklyn, New York, before relocating to Hollywood. A historically rigorous and thorough account of the most influential producer of American motion pictures during the silent era, Erish draws on valuable primary material long overlooked by other historians to introduce readers to the fascinating, forgotten pioneers of Vitagraph.

Hart Crane's Poetry by John T. Irwin Pdf

In one of his letters Hart Crane wrote, "Appollinaire lived in Paris, I live in Cleveland, Ohio," comparing—misspelling and all—the great French poet’s cosmopolitan roots to his own more modest ones in the midwestern United States. Rebelling against the notion that his work should relate to some European school of thought, Crane defiantly asserted his freedom to be himself, a true American writer. John T. Irwin, long a passionate and brilliant critic of Crane, gives readers the first major interpretation of the poet’s work in decades. Irwin aims to show that Hart Crane’s epic The Bridge is the best twentieth-century long poem in English. Irwin convincingly argues that, compared to other long poems of the century, The Bridge is the richest and most wide-ranging in its mythic and historical resonances, the most inventive in its combination of literary and visual structures, the most subtle and compelling in its psychological underpinnings. Irwin brings a wealth of new and varied scholarship to bear on his critical reading of the work—from art history to biography to classical literature to philosophy—revealing The Bridge to be the near-perfect synthesis of American myth and history that Crane intended. Irwin contends that the most successful entryway to Crane’s notoriously difficult shorter poems is through a close reading of The Bridge. Having admirably accomplished this, Irwin analyzes Crane’s poems in White Buildings and his last poem, "The Broken Tower," through the larger context of his epic, showing how Crane, in the best of these, worked out the structures and images that were fully developed in The Bridge. Thoughtful, deliberate, and extraordinarily learned, this is the most complete and careful reading of Crane’s poetry available. Hart Crane may have lived in Cleveland, Ohio, but, as Irwin masterfully shows, his poems stand among the greatest written in the English language.

The Genesis of Fiction by Terry R. Wright Pdf

This book considers a range of twentieth-century novelists who practise a creative mode of reading the Bible, exploring aspects of the Book of Genesis which more conventional biblical criticism sometimes ignores. Each chapter considers some of the interpretive challenges of the relevant story in Genesis, especially those noted by rabbinic midrash, which serves as a model for such creative rewriting of the biblical text. All the novelists considered, from Mark Twain, John Steinbeck and Thomas Mann to Jeanette Winterson, Anita Diamant and Jenny Diski, are shown to have been aware of the midrashic tradition and in some cases to have incorporated significant elements from it into their own writing. The questions these modern and postmodern writers ask of the Bible, however, go beyond those permitted by the rabbis and by other believing interpretive communities. Each chapter therefore attempts to chart intertextually where the writers are coming from, what principles govern their mode of reading and rewriting Genesis, and what conclusions can be drawn about the ways in which it remains possible to relate to the Bible.

The Chronicles of the Sidhe by Steve Blamires Pdf

For a thirteen-year period, the reclusive Scottish writer Fiona Macleod enthralled the Victorian reading public with a deluge of stories, novels, poems and essays drawn from the wildly romantic Highland and Island landscape. Although it was later revealed that these works had issued from the pen of William Sharp, it was clear that Fiona Macleod was more than a pseudonym; to Sharp she was very much an autonomous entity. What's more, the wealth of previously unknown and unheard of myths, names, traditions and beliefs in her writings, while shone through a Celtic prism, show every sign of having emanated from the Realm of Faery. Steve Blamires presents a ground-breaking assessment of the Faery lore within Fiona Macleod's literary output as part of his ongoing study of this enigmatic writer. Building on the established groundwork of his biography of Sharp, The Little Book of the Great Enchantment, he explores the mythology and traditions of Faery, their symbolic and magical significance, and the devices employed by Fiona in the transmission of Faery teachings and inspirations. Using examples from Fiona's rich and resonant body of work, his detailed interpretation will enable the reader to tease out the Faery gems that are still to be found woven into the lines and verse of her writings.

Dark Tides by Philippa Gregory Pdf

#1 New York Times bestselling author of Tidelands—the “searing portrait of a woman that resonates across the ages” (People)—returns with an evocative historical novel tracking the rise of the Tidelands family in London, Venice, and New England. Midsummer Eve 1670. Two unexpected visitors arrive at a shabby warehouse on the south side of the River Thames. The first is a wealthy nobleman seeking the lover he deserted twenty-one years earlier. Now James Avery has everything to offer: a fortune, a title, and the favor of the newly restored King Charles II. He believes that the warehouse’s poor owner Alinor has the one thing he cannot buy—his son and heir. The second visitor is a beautiful widow from Venice in deepest mourning. She claims Alinor as her mother-in-law and tells her of the death of Rob—Alinor’s son—drowned in the dark tides of the Venice lagoon. Meanwhile, Alinor’s brother Ned, in faraway New England, is making a life for himself between in the narrowing space between the jarring worlds of the English newcomers and the American Indians as they move towards inevitable war. Alinor writes to him that she knows—without doubt—that her son is alive and the widow is an imposter. But how can she prove it? Set in the poverty and glamour of Restoration London, in the golden streets of Venice, and on the tensely contested frontier of early America, this is a novel of greed and desire: for love, for wealth, for a child, and for home.

Portraits of Passion by Praveen Kumar Pdf

What the poet sings here is true of his life. He is open for the temptations of both the passion and the reason. When they act together, we find the person at his best in life with the strengths of purpose and will; we find the poet at his best in poetry with sweet ironies, spliced with the power of language when, " The wind of passion and the barriers of reason, pull apart from sides,". Thus, the author gained from both his strength and weakness. Poetry to this poet is an integrated expression of personality. His conception of poetry is beautifully expressed in the following stanza in the poem "Poetry ".You, the gentle queen on inspiration's throne In splendours of words, rhythms, colours, Musics and passions in unending layers; Come, sit on heart, build bridges to the mind, Bring light to the eyes to choose a carriageTo carry your muse to gentle souls.It is significant of this poet that the utility of poetry for him lies in carrying her 'muse to gentle souls'. He is deeply subjective and inward-looking in nature. This subjective and inward-looking tendency makes him a proud and self-assured individual. Read following lines in the poem,'The Path of Life '.Whatever may come, whatever may go, Whatever on the path is in store as fate, I must walk as always I am;Proud of self and diligent of walk,I tread the path that comes in front; Whatever at back, bears my print,Whatever in front, conforms to inner strength.The poet has tried to portray the widening gulf betwixt rich and poor in the poem,' Humanity ' wherein an image of poverty is laid in following lines:A hapless motherOffers her to greedTo save her child from the hunger's death ; No roof to hide, no cloth to cover,No fire in heart to save honour ; Dirt and filth, sickness everywhere, Dirt and filth, sickness everywhere,The sufferings of the people touch the poet while writing about Bangladesh cyclone in the poem,' Bangladesh Cyclone; he describes how a famished man appears after the devastation.God-forsaken man sits in the middleAnd knows not whether he is dead or alive.'Portraits of Passion' is primarily a portrait of passion- passion in its varied and verdant forms and hues; passion for life, passion of love and passion to know the world around. The collection has a few love portraits in both meeting and parting frames of mind. Read following lines of the poem,' That Day':She held the portrait close to her heart And drank his form to the brim of eyes; What a gentle shine, what contentment, Her eyes spread in expression of her heart! What depth it had, what immortal warmth That he felt at loss to pierce far enow; Parting is the more intense form of love.The foretaste of the impending separation how withers souls and brings them closer in the milieu of climacteric gloom and silence is portrayed in the poem,' Gulf of Life and Death':Face to face, they sat in silence,No word to speak, no shine in eyes, Both blankly stared beyond each other; No world to smile, no light or sunshine,They sought each other for hope and comfortIn the eye of high tide of the time's drift.There are a few poems on the nature in this fascicle. Following three lines describe the full-moon in motion in her full glory through the demi-jour of the heaven in a mise en scene:The golden queen in the stride of royal graceAscended heaven with gold dusts splayedOn the fading silk-carpet of the thin sunshine ;The aureate beauty of the fullmoon day is painted in following lines : The night is full with beauty's sweet contrastsOf peace and passions, stillness and motionWith shades and twiligfits of sensuous quietude!A conflict of life and death and desperate waiting for something eerie and lovefull are lurking in many of the poet's writings and give his poems an arcane touch.
