1000 tulosta hakusanalla Ruth Ware
At twelve she stood by her mother's grave on a bleak Yorkshire moor. Life, as the daughter of a Victorian mill hand, had never been easy, but now she was mother and housekeeper both to the little family left behind.
Ruth Shaw began a blog, Ruthlace, in 2006 at the age of 82, in order to write about her life growing up in the 1920s and 1930s, the Great Depression, World War II, along with stories her own mother shared with her of earlier times.
This ecological reading of the book of Ruth takes into account the power which this short story holds, speaking to the whole person by engaging each reader’s emotions, imagination, memory, and reason. Alice M. Sinnott demonstrates how the story of Ruth transcends geographical, spatial and historical boundaries by appealing to all concerned with the plight of the Earth. Sinnott highlights the ecological dimensions of the text that scholars have ignored or dismissed in the past, and explores how the narrator gives voice to the way in which the Earth functions throughout the story. Integral to her reading of the text is a concern for Earth and matters such as food, famine, death, harvests, grain, day and night and members of the Earth community. Sinnott considers non-human characters as legitimate determining factors in the structuring of the narrative, and recognizes Earth and members of the Earth community as equally valid subjects. By identifying with these aspects of Ruth, Sinnott is able to read the text with new eyes; and by placing special emphasis in how the narrator depicts the natural world, she reinforces how subjects from that world emerge as integral components.
Ann Jeffers introduces the Book of Ruth by examining the book's structure and characteristics; covering the latest Biblical scholarship, including historical and interpretive issues; and considering a range of scholarly approaches. In particular, it looks at a range of emerging methodologies ranging from literary readings to reception theory and postmodern readings. With suggestions of further reading at the end of each chapter, this guide will be an essential accompaniment to study of the Book of Ruth.
