University of California Press
1998
pokkari
In this new biography of Jane Austen, David Nokes plays master sleuth and storyteller in presenting the great novelist 'not in the modest pose which her family determined for her, but rather, as she most frequently presented herself, as rebellious, satirical, and wild'.

'Pictures of perfection make me sick and wicked,' Jane Austen wrote to her niece Fanny Knight a few months before she died. Yet most traditional accounts of Austen's life have insisted on portraying her as just such a picture of perfection. In his 1997 biography David Nokes re-examined Austen, and presented a far richer and livelier picture of the woman who once wrote in another of her letters, 'If I am a wild beast, I cannot help it ...'.'A fine book, probably the best tribute to the genius of Jane.' Glasgow Herald'[This book] cries out to be read, not alone by fans of Jane Austen but by anyone who enjoys a great, witty, gossipy read.' Irish Times'What fun Nokes's book is.' Fay Weldon, Independent'David Nokes is assertive, energetic, opinionated, satirical, supremely confident, dramatising and gleefully splenetic.' Hermione Lee

John Gay

Faber Faber
2014
pokkari
First published in 1995, David Nokes' major biography of John Gay (1685-1732) was the first full-length life of Gay for over fifty years, and drew on hitherto unpublished letters. Presenting Gay as a complex character, torn between the hopes of court preferment and the assertion of literary independence, Nokes offers both a lively and accessible read for the non-specialist and a comprehensive scholarly study. Best-known for The Beggar's Opera, Gay is here revealed as a contradictory figure. Nokes argues that Gay's self-effacing and self-mocking literary persona was largely responsible for perpetuating an image of himself as a genial literary non-entity. Often cast as a neglected genius, dependent on others, he in fact left a considerable fortune after his death. Depicted by his friends as both a childlike innocent and a rakish ladies' man, he produced the most successful and subversive theatrical satire of his generation, and volumes of bestselling Fables.

Almost a Hero

Almost a Hero

J. Richard Nokes; David L. Nicandri

Washington State University Press
1998
sidottu
Beginning in 1786, Captain John Meares of Great Britain bravely explored and charted routes in the North Pacific, but his bold attempt to dominate the rich new fur trade between the Northwest Coast and Asia was frustrated when the Spanish navy seized his ships off Vancouver Island in 1789. His appeal to Parliament nearly resulted in war between England and Spain. Meares also built the first ship on the Northwest Coast and brought the first Chinese and a Hawaiian prince to the area, but missed the opportunity to explore Puget Sound or discover the Columbia River. Hence, he was "almost a hero."Meares' story is a fascinating glimpse into the period when the great European maritime powers and the newly-established United States vied for geographical knowledge, empire, and control of the Indian fur trade.

Notes on the Life of David

Notes on the Life of David

A W Pink

2022
pokkari
This book is a landmark work on the life of King David. The author presents a goldmine of insight on the character, heart and walk of David before God. However rejected, however misunderstood, however broken David was, He stood immovable in His life before God. The most important takeaway is the practical truth that we can walk after God in the same way.
