Set in the turbulent Romantic era, ESCAPEMENT is an arousing, through-the-keyhole glimpse into the private torment and ecstasy of creative genius.Cristofer Vaughn's star is poised to rise. Everyone expects the dashing and gifted composer to claim the mantle of that foremost virtuoso--Beethoven--an expectation that terrifies the young artist as much as it drives him.Walking into the fire with Cristofer is his housekeeper, Henri, a handsome and elusive young woman who takes pleasure in dressing as a man. Possessed herself of considerable talent, and a disturbing past, she faithfully guides her employer through the trials of artistic endeavor--while guarding his most closely-held secret. But the pair's loyalty is threatened when a wealthy and ruthless patron grants Cristofer the commission of a lifetime, then unwittingly hires Henri--whom he believes to be male--to give piano lessons to his alluring wife. The resulting entanglements rise to a dangerous pitch as Cristofer struggles desperately to conjure music while Henri is ignited by a passionate but illicit love affair. Soon the only hope for either friend's survival depends on one publicly exposing the other's hidden truth. A decision that will defy the bonds of art and friendship--and irrevocably transform all their lives--forever.Written with extraordinary beauty and populated with unforgettable characters, this lush and cinematic tale is as poignant as it is seductive.
In Kristen Wolf's audacious and timely fiction debut, an unusual girl in the heart of ancient Palestine escapes her life of oppression--undertakes an epic and dangerous journey--and struggles to accept her remarkable calling as a great spiritual leader. Deeply emotional, provocative and edge-of-your-seat suspenseful, THE WAY transports readers to an exotic world brimming with mystery, betrayal, passion, unforgettable characters and jaw-dropping plot twists. "Wow, is all I can say. This novel blew me away " --Book Pleasures "I don't think I could rave anymore about this book ... truly one of a kind." --Chick Lit Plus "THE WAY is a magical, evocative first novel that I plan to buy a carton of to give to my family and friends. This message of compas-sion, healing, and respect for women could indeed transform our world." --Joan Borysenko, Ph.D., author of A Woman's Journey to God "I was surprised in more ways than I ever could have imagined." --Javier Sierra, New York Times bestselling author of The Secret Supper "A bold and powerful story...needs to make its way to the reading lists of women everywhere." --Rainbow Reader Anna is a striking and spirited young girl living in ancient Palestine where being a daughter is a disappointment. While her father excitedly anticipates the birth of his first son, the invisible Anna endures a life of drudgery. One bright spot in her world is the crippled old woman living by the village well who declares that the headstrong girl possesses a powerful destiny. But before the elder can reveal her prophecy an unexpected tragedy strikes Anna's family and her father--dressing Anna as a boy--sells his daughter to a band of wandering shepherds. Abandoned and armed with only bravery and wits, Anna must learn to survive the harsh desert and unruly men. Yet just when she masters her bold life of disguise, she stumbles upon a den of mysterious caves and is captured by the secret band of women living inside. Unable to escape, Anna soon discovers that the sisterhood's mystical teachings and miraculous healing abilities have forced her to question everything she's been told to believe and--to her amazement--unleashed an astonishing power within her. But when violent enemies opposed to the women's ways threaten to destroy them, Anna vows to save her mentors and preserve their powerful wisdom. Forced again to leave home and loved ones behind, a transformed Anna returns to the world of men--as only she can--determined to unfold a daring and dangerous mission: One that will put everything she's become to the test. Will she succeed...or be condemned? Gorgeously written, cinematic in scope and utterly captivating, Anna's bold journey of courage--and its startling revelations--will thrill and inspire readers everywhere.
De Kline has the gift of loving the up-side of down events- this beautiful and roistering memoire of life on Lawless St is far from miserable - celebrating the iconography of kisses, inevitable head-kickings and the shady deals we all make with ourselves - yet perhaps with the more perceptive light of sunset on the fringe. Glorious turns of phrase, instant recognition, and stillness to take it back in, like a smoker's drawback -a wonderful read, not safe for work - Kerri Shying
This Element offers an accessible introduction to theoretical writing on the rule of law for anyone who wants to understand more about how we think and write about this central idea of legal and political thought. Part 1, 'Approaching the Rule of Law', examines the methods through which the idea of the rule of law is typically approached by those who set out to theorise it. Part 2, 'Untangling the Rule of Law', asks whether it is possible to untangle the rule of law from the various contributions, companions, connections, conflations and controversies with which it tends to be associated. Part 3, 'Revisiting the Rule of Law', signals to new frontiers of rule of law thought by addressing the assumptions about legal form that shape its theoretical treatment, and by investigating what we know about the people who carry its burdens and benefit from its offerings.
Teaching Shakespeare’s Theatre of the World
Kristen Abbott Bennett
Cambridge University Press
2025
pokkari
This Element engages Shakespeare's greatest thought-experiment: how does one navigate the 'theatre of the world'? Throughout, it examines how Shakespeare challenges this metaphor's vertical hierarchies in response to changing understandings of cosmological order. Teachers will find rich contextual frameworks to help students investigate how Shakespeare recognises 'worlds' as emerging from dynamic variables, raising urgent questions about how identity and justice are environmentally constructed. Each discussion features student-centred 'Explorations', which are play-specific classroom activities, but also may be applied across Shakespeare's corpus and adapted for either secondary or university-level students. These exercises encourage students to practise non-linear critical and creative thinking, to contemplate big ideas and to generate new perspectives about the shared points of contact between Shakespeare's world and theirs.

Strangers and the Enchantment of Space in Victorian Fiction, 1830–1865
Kristen Pond
TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD

sidottu
Tracing the origins of how we think about strangers to the Victorian period, Strangers and the Enchantment of Space in Victorian Fiction, 1830– 1865 explores the vital role strangers had in shaping social relations during the cultural transformations of the Industrial Revolution, transportation technologies, and globalization. While studies of nineteenth- century Britain tend to trace the rise of an aloof cosmopolitanism and distancing narrative strategies, this volume calls attention to the personalizing impulse in nineteenth- century literary form, investigating the deeply personal reflections on individual and national identities. In her book, Dr. Pond leads the reader through homes of the urban poor, wandering the Great Exhibition in the Crystal Palace, loitering in suburban neighborhoods, riding the railway, and touring a country estate. Readers will experience how the ordinary can be enchanting, and how the mundane can be unexpected, discovering a new way of thinking about strangers and their influence on our lives. Through an examination of the short and long fictional forms of Martineau, Dickens, Brontë, Gaskell, and Braddon, this study locates the figure of the stranger as a powerful topos in the story of Victorian literature and the ethics of social relations. This book will be ideal for those seeking to understand the dynamics of the stranger in Victorian fiction as a figure for understanding the changing dynamics of social relations in England in the early nineteenth century.

This is the first book on Richard III and the Tower of London, shedding new light on the King’s reputation, the Castle’s lore, and early modern literature’s role in building associations between them. It is also one of the first books to integrate conceptual blending theory and spatial literary studies, empowering scholars and students to analyze literature and locations in new ways. This book fills gaps in the existing knowledge about both Richard III and the Tower of London. Neither literary nor historical scholarship has treated the process through which Richard III and the Tower became associated in the cultural and historical imagination and how such representations have shaped the King’s reputation and the Castle’s lore. This study analyzes this process while offering new understandings of Richard III as a literary character in prose, drama, and poetry and extending knowledge about the Tower as an iconic literary and cultural symbol.
