Maria Cross

Conor Cruise O'Brien

Faber Faber
2015
nidottu
The first literary phase in the brilliant and protean career of Conor Cruise O'Brien was his work as critic for Dublin literary magazine The Bell, which begat this collection of essays first published in 1952 (under the pseudonym 'Donat O'Donnell', as O'Brien was then a working civil servant). In it, O'Brien set himself to a study of 'the patterns of several exceptionally vivid imaginations which are permeated by Catholicism' - from Graham Greene and Evelyn Waugh to Francois Mauriac and Paul Claudel - and to analyse 'what those patterns might share'. The originality and flair of Maria Cross won O'Brien many vocal admirers, among them Dag Hammarskjöld, cerebral Secretary-General of the United Nations.'A most interesting and at times brilliant book, admirably and wittily written.' New Statesman'One of the most acute and stimulating books of literary criticism to be published for some years.' Spectator

Maria Marten

Samuel French Ltd
1970

This is a version of the famous nineteenth-century crime in which an innocent young country girl is murdered by a local squire who had earlier seduced her and is now anxious to marry an heiress. Partly through the agency of a gypsy, however, retribution overtakes the villain. Ingeniously telescoped in time and place into one simple setting.

Maria/Stuart

Maria/Stuart

Jason Grote

Samuel French, Inc
2011
pokkari
Characters: 1 male, 5 female Multiple Sets Up-and-coming cartoonist Stuart fights to keep the lid on his mother's and aunts' simmering angst. But the family's secrets channel themselves into a bizarre shapeshifter that guzzles soda, communicates by fax, and spouts old German verse. Friedrich Schiller's classic tale of warring queens inspires this gothic romp through the weirder side of suburban America. "Grote has made a name for himself in recent years with scripts that explode the boundaries between the ordinary and the chimerical, the political and the aesthetic, the intimate and the dizzyingly cosmic."- Washington Post "An ingenious tale, and mined with offbeat, explosive devices." - Seattle Times "Maria/Stuart, by Brooklyn-based playwright Jason Grote, is a cleverly built, well-concealed pit trap. At first, the play seems like a pleasant stroll through a family of comical, middle-class eccentrics-in just a few steps, it plunges into a dark subterranean maze...Here's hoping this isn't the last we'll see of Jason Grote." -The Stranger "Written in true Grote form, Maria/Stuart explores-and redefines-the boundaries between reality and fantasy, ordinary and bizarre, chaos and normality. It's also darkly comical, witty and relevant."-Twin Cities Metro "Absolutely astonishing. Tremendous writing, incredible acting. And laughs. Big laughs." - DC Theatre Scene "Crazily entertaining comedy...surreal, witty, expertly performed. Maria/Stuart is a melange of intense, ludicrous, silly, common-garden-variety family hell. It is more than enough for a great night out at the theater." -MetroWeekly

MARIA Band 2

MARIA Band 2

Werner Engelmann

Fouque Publishers, Inc.
2011
pokkari
Der Wandel des Bilds der Frau bleibt eine Herausforderung auch des 21. Jahrhunderts: Ihrer Emanzipation stellt sich eine Welt entgegen, die sie als Besitz betrachtet, ihren Kerker als "gottgewollt" ansieht. Auch Maria, dem vaterlosen Fl chtlingsm dchen, wird im Nachkriegsdeutschland das Frausein verwehrt. Doch der Einbruch einer fremden Welt befreit verdr ngte Bed rfnisse. Maria k mpft um Hosen und Lippenrot, gegen die Dem tigung f r ihr Geschlecht: Es geht nicht um Mode gegen "Nat rlichkeit". Es geht um Recht auf Fraulichkeit. Maria revoltiert, bricht aus dem Kerker "jungfr ulicher Tugend" aus. Die Romantrilogie "Maria" untersucht psychologische Bedingungen des Neuanfangs nach einer Katastrophe. Dieser zweite Band beschreibt, vor dem Hintergrund der 50er Jahre, Ursachen dogmatischer Frauenbilder und zeitbedingte Formen weiblichen Protests gegen ein berholtes Patriarchat. Er stellt ein Klischeebild in Frage, das in neuer Lust auf Weiblichkeit blo e R ckkehr des "Heimchens" zu erkennen glaubt.

PRINCETON UNIVERSITY PRESS
2022
sidottu
A major new biography of the iconic Austrian empress that challenges the many myths about her life and ruleMaria Theresa (1717–1780) was once the most powerful woman in Europe. At the age of twenty-three, she ascended to the throne of the Habsburg Empire, a far-flung realm composed of diverse ethnicities and languages, beset on all sides by enemies and rivals. Barbara Stollberg-Rilinger provides the definitive biography of Maria Theresa, situating this exceptional empress within her time while dispelling the myths surrounding her.Drawing on a wealth of archival evidence, Stollberg-Rilinger examines all facets of eighteenth-century society, from piety and patronage to sexuality and childcare, ceremonial life at court, diplomacy, and the everyday indignities of warfare. She challenges the idealized image of Maria Theresa as an enlightened reformer and mother of her lands who embodied both feminine beauty and virile bellicosity, showing how she despised the ideas of the Enlightenment, treated her children with relentless austerity, and mercilessly persecuted Protestants and Jews. Work, consistent physical and mental discipline, and fear of God were the principles Maria Theresa lived by, and she demanded the same from her family, her court, and her subjects.A panoramic work of scholarship that brings Europe's age of empire spectacularly to life, Maria Theresa paints an unforgettable portrait of the uncompromising yet singularly charismatic woman who left her enduring mark on the era in which she lived and reigned.

Maria Spilsbury (1776?1820)

Maria Spilsbury (1776?1820)

Charlotte Yeldham

Ashgate Publishing Limited
2010
sidottu
Maria Spilsbury Taylor (1776-1820) lived and worked in London and Ireland and was patronized by the Prince Regent. A painter of portraits, genre scenes, biblical subjects and large crowd compositions - an unusual feature in women's art of this period - she is represented in major museums and art galleries as well as in numerous private collections. Her work, hitherto considered on a purely decorative level, merits closer attention. For the first time, this volume argues the relevance of Spilsbury's religious background, and in particular her evangelical and Moravian connections, to the interpretation of her art and examines her pervasive, and often inovert references to the Bible, hymnody and religious writing. The art that emerges is distinctly Protestant and evangelical, offering a vivid illustration of the mood of patriotic, Protestant fervour that characterized the quarter century succeeding the French revolution. This focus may be situated in the general context of increasing interest in the religious faith of historical actors - men and women - in the eighteenth century, and in the related contexts of growing acknowledgement of a religious aspect to "enlightenment" art, as well as investigations into Protestant culture in Ireland. The book is extensively illustrated and contains a list of all of Spilsbury's known works.

Maria Gulovich, OSS Heroine of World War II

Sonya N. Jason

McFarland Co Inc
2008
pokkari
This book tells the story of Slovak underground member Maria Gulovich's unlikely heroism, focusing on the former elementary schoolteacher's courageous actions in saving American OSS agents. It describes how, while trapped with the agents behind enemy lines, she forayed into enemy occupied villages to find scarce food for the starving men, spied out enemy troop strength, and occasionally obtained shelter from blizzards with terrified but kind citizens. For her heroism, the U.S. government presented her with a Bronze Star. The work includes an extensive bibliography, a map of the area held by insurrectionists, and several photographs offering a glimpse of World War II seldom seen.
