Maria Chapdelaine, the quintessential novel of the rugged life of early French-Canadian colonists, is based on the author's experiences as a hired hand in the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean area. A young woman living with her family on the frontier in Quebec, Maria endures the hardships of isolation and climate, and chooses between three suitors: a trapper, a farmer, and a Parisian immigrant. Powerful in its simplicity, this novel captures the essence of the virtues of faith and tenacity that are the key ingredients of survivance. Translated into many languages and with some two hundred editions, it is enshrined as a classic of Canadian letters. A new introduction provides insights into Hmon's life.
This innovative book reassess the place of Maria Edgeworth within the Irish literary canon by illuminating the connections between her views on gender and her construction of Ireland, beginning in the revolutionary decade of the 1790s and ending in the aftermath of Catholic emancipation and parliamentary reform. O Gallchoir addresses the full scope of Edgeworth's writing, creating a context within which Edgeworth's Irish novels can be read alongside tales and novels set in England and France: undervalued texts are recovered and better-known ones are shown in a new light. Edgeworth's commitment to the values of the Enlightenment is explored in the context of her indebtedness to the work of French women writers and her sophisticated awareness of the precarious position of the woman writer in society.

In this collection of 65 short poems, Roberta Quance exemplifies the range, vitality and mysticism of work by one of Spain's foremost, if controversial, contemporary female poets, drawing on the contents of a number of Spanish collections. In Atencia's poetry the poetic subject is often seen as someone who occupies an interior space, either crossing over the threshold from the outside world to an inner one (a garden, a house, a castle), or moving from the inner, home space to one even more interior: the world of dreams and imagination and hope, which can project outward into liminal spaces of the sky or the sea. A very basic paradox of Christian mystical experience- of abasement and magnification - haunts Atencia's work. She has made her own one of its fundamental tenets: the purging of self, the shedding of all trace of worldly attachment in order to ‘make room' for experience of a different reality: the self's sense of ‘nothingness' in the face of beauty is a prized moment in and of itself; it is sublime. Atencia's definitive manner: classically shaped verse in the tradition of the‘pure poetry' of the Generation of 1927, which makes myth of a womanly self, is amply explored in this first major English edition of her work to appear since 1987. Maria Victoria Atencia was born in Malaga (Andalusia) in 1931 and has lived there or in the country thereabouts all of her life Although trained originally as a pianist she chose a vocation for poetry, instead, publishing her first work in 1953 and continuing to publish to the present day. In 2010 she was given the Federico Garcia Lorca prize for poetry, in recognition of a lifetime of achievement. Roberta Quance is Senior Lecturer in Spanish and Portuguese Studies at Queen's University Belfast. She is author of books on mythology and modernity in modern literature and desire in the poetry of Lorca as well as articles on women writers and artists associated with the Generation of 1927 and translations of work by Carlos Piera.

A Labour Whip once revealed that in their office they sang songs about certain backbenchers. In the case of the Member for Maryhill, their choice was ‘How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria?’A frank account of fourteen years in Westminister from the rebellious Maria Fyfe – the only female Labour MP in Scotland when she was first elected. Fyfe recounts some of the most significant moments of her political career, from the frustrating and infuriating, to the rewarding and worthwhile.A significant aim of writing this book was to set the record straight on that period in our UK Parliament. Another aim was to encourage interest in a political life when widespread cynicism discourages good people from thinking about it. MARIA FYFECovering some of the most turbulent years of British and Scottish political history, A Problem Like Maria takes the female’s perspective of life as an MP in the male-dominated Westminister. This book reaches the parts of politics some people hope you never reach. The intimidating Maria Fyfe sounds like strong Scottish domestic drama.

Someone else crawled in. I remembered’ Thirty-on-year-old Catherine Hope has a great memory. But she can’t remember everything. She can’t remember her ninth year. She can’t remember when her insomnia started. And she can’t remember why everyone stopped calling her Catherine-Maria.

But when she loses her home to the devastating deluge of 2007 and volunteers at Flood Crisis, a devastating memory emerges … and changes everything.

This new book offers a critical introduction to the full scope of Edgeworth's writing, encompassing her whole career and a broad range of her extensive oeuvre. / Maria Edgeworth made a significant contribution to three different but interlinked areas: education, the representation of Ireland, and the representation of women's experiences and characters. Cl ona Gallchoir provides a lucid and accessible introduction to each area of Edgeworth's work - and offers students in particular an overview of her work that encompasses its full range and incorporates the insights of contemporary criticism. / Particular focus is given to her Irish fiction, her examination of women's lives and roles, and her work in education and children's literature. An introductory chapter outlines the key historical and cultural contexts as well as establishing the central intellectual questions with which Edgeworth engaged, and which offer threads of continuity in a diverse body of work. / This work draws on recent research that has highlighted some of the lesser-known works, while also presenting discussions of the major works in the light of the most recent criticism. / Maria Edgeworth (1767-849) was born in England but moved with her father to the family estate at Edgeworthstown, Co. Longford in 1782. Her early writings led to The Parent's Assistant (1796), a series of didactic stories for children, and Practical Education (2 vols. 1798), influenced by the ideas of Jean-Jacques Rousseau. A further series of her works, some of them collaborative, followed. In 1800 Maria famously published Castle Rackrent, the earliest regional novel in English. This influenced Sir Walter Scott, which he praised in his preface to Waverley (1814). A number of other major works followed. / The year 2018 was the 250th anniversary of her birth, and witnessed a range of events that give evidence of ever-increasing scholarly and critical interest in her work. The past 20 years has seen a new 12-volume scholarly edition, numerous paperback editions, several monographs devoted in whole or in part to her work, 2 essay collections, and a host of journal articles. Her work is included on courses on Irish literature, women's writing, and romantic-period literature, including drama, and it is studied from many different perspectives (e.g. women and enlightenment, the development of the novel, literature and colonialism, children's literature). / The content is ordered chronologically. A conclusion draws together the central discursive strands and offers an assessment of Edgeworth's achievement and reputation. Contents: Biographical Timeline. / 1. Introduction: Themes and Contexts. / 2. Education, 1795-1804 (Practical Education, Parent's Assistant, Early Lessons, Moral Tales, Harry and Lucy). / 3.
