How far will a man go to keep a vow? And what of the cost to his soul...?From the extraordinary author of Yesterday's Sorrow comes the second in the riveting Men of Honor series. He is everything she fears... In a last, desperate attempt to escape her horribly abusive stepfather, beautiful and frightened, Angeline Maxwell has no choice but to bend to her aunt's will and sacrifice herself in marriage to the mysteriously absent Laird Ethan McCutcheon Carroll. Mere hours after the wedding ceremony is concluded by proxy, however, Angeline is informed of her husband's untimely death. For nigh onto a year, she experiences a peaceful, man-free, fear-free existence that she had never imagined possible. But now her husband is back...and very much alive! She is everything he cannot have... Long believed dead, weary and battered, Ethan McCutcheon Carroll returns home to the highlands of Scotland intent upon reclaiming his rightful place as Laird of his clan. But home is not the way he left it. Ethan had never imagined that he would be forced to convince his own people that he is indeed alive and not some demon just risen from the devil's hiding place-nor that this would turn out to be the very least of his problems. By his own fierce vow, he remains a man alone...unwed and without heir. So what is he to do with a wee lass of a wife, who is obviously just as terrified of him, as he is of himself...? Ahhh, but the Queen...what power she holds, to wed a man when he is not even present for the event.

With the death of Penelope Fitzgerald this year, the literary world lost one of its finest, most original, and most beloved authors. Fitzgerald began her writing career at age sixty and wrote eight remarkable novels in rapid succession over the next twenty years. Completed just before her death, THE MEANS OF ESCAPE is Fitzgerald's first new book since the best-selling THE BLUE FLOWER. Never before have her short stories been collected in book form, and none of them has ever appeared in the United States. THE MEANS OF ESCAPE showcases this incomparable author at her most intelligent, her funniest, her best. Like her novels, these brilliant stories are miniature studies of the endless absurdity of human behavior. Concise, comic, biting, and mischievous, they are vintage Fitzgerald. Roaming the globe and the ages, the stories travel from England to France to New Zealand and from today to the seventeenth century. Uniting them is a universal theme: the shifting balance between those who are in positions of power--by wealth, status, or class--and those who, deceptively, are not. THE MEANS OF ESCAPE memorializes a life and a writer guided by a generous but unwavering moral gaze.

This book explores the history of the idea of genius from its origins in classical antiquity to its deconstruction in postmodernist criticism. Focusing mainly on the creative arts, the book examines certain key points in the development of the idea, and also addresses the problem of what constitutes genius in specific subject areas. Experts in different fields have contributed chapters on literature, art, music, mathematics, philosophy and psychiatry to produce a volume which illuminates an abiding obsession throughout the history of European culture. The contributors to this volume show how the ancient image of the inspired poet and the Renaissance conception of the divino artista both anticipate later notions of genius, developed into the 18th century around the central figures of Homer, Shakespeare and Goethe. Romantic definitions of genius are analysed, as are the implications of Nietzsche's pronouncements on 'human greatness'. The historic conjunction of genius and madness is explored from the early belief in divine possession through the Renaissance notion of melancholy to the age of psychoanalysis.

Stereotyping and Social Reality

Stereotyping and Social Reality combines a comprehensive review of the field with a new theoretical perspective. Stereotyping is an issue that lies at the heart of social psychology, and our understanding of the stereotyping process has implications for many general issues, including social cognition and perception, group processes, intergroup relations, prejudice, social conflict and cooperation. The book is organised around a theme which has always been the central issue of stereotyping: what is the nature of the relationship between stereotypes and the features of the social world that they purport to represent? Is it true that stereotyping necessarily involves a perceptual or cognitive distortion of social reality? Most students (and many other researchers) embark on the topic with the assumption that in stereotyping the perceiver activates fixed images (eg: 'women are passive', 'the French are arrogant') which both reflect and bolster prejudice through the misrepresentation of people's 'true' character. This book aims to challenge this view and, in doing so, it presents a significant new theoretical analysis of stereotyping based on research the authors have been conducting over the past decade. At the same time, the book offers a comprehensive review of previous research on the topic, including the often neglected but fascinating work carried out in the years before the modern cognitive approach was developed. Stereotyping and Social Reality will therefore be of interest to a wide student audience as well as to researchers in the field.
Since 2009, PS Cottier has been committed to posting a new poem each week on her blog, pscottier.com, usually on a Tuesday. That discipline has not only given her a collection of thirteen years of writing from which to choose the rich selection for this book, but also the playful title of the collection Tuesday's Child is Full is a diverse, sprawling, wildly entertaining collection of poems from a poet at the very top of her game. She writes with a fearless accuracy and a sympathetic wit. Her poems are calm and profound and effortlessly display the universal in the domestic. She is a modern pastoral poet, not only celebrating the wild and untamed, but placing our experience of an urban everyday in a natural setting, whether that is the death of that most unheroic of pets, a guinea pig, or the act of contemplating a mango. Her poems have the power to awaken an appreciation of the eternal and beautiful all around us.
