Jean-Paul Morot, and his charming wife Jeanne-Marie, are privileged servants at the Court of Louis XIV, The Sun King. Jean-Paul holds the position as first assistant to the famed Landscape Architect, Andre Le Notre. Jeanne-Marie is First Seamstress to Louis XIV's Queen, Marie-Therese. Each of them does exceptionally talented work and is held in high regard at Versailles, where balls, concerts, lavish suppers, and ballet-plays keep the courtiers in an endless round of extravagant pleasures. Yet if the Court were to discover that Jean-Paul and Jeanne-Marie are of the Reformed Faith, that is that they are Protestants, they could lose their positions, and even find themselves imprisoned. While they are quiet about their religious persuasions, their immediate relatives in another town have suffered dearly for being discovered. Will Jean-Paul and Jeanne-Marie escape the persecution within France? Can friends and colleagues assist them, not merely for themselves but also for their new baby daughter? Or will Jean-Paul and Jeanne-Marie join family members in the merciless galleys and the pitiless workhouse?

Masquerade and Social Justice in Contemporary Latin American Fiction

Contemporary Latin American fiction establishes a unique connection between masquerade, frequently motivated by stigma or trauma, and social justice. Using an interdisciplinary approach that combines philosophy, history, psychology, literature, and social justice theory, this study delineates the synergistic connection between these two themes. Weldt-Basson examines fourteen novels by twelve different Latin American authors: Mario Vargas Llosa, Sergio Galindo, Augusto Roa Bastos, Fernando del Paso, Mayra Santos-Febres, Isabel Allende, Carmen Boullosa, Antonio Benítez-Rojo, Marcela Serrano, Sara Sefchovich, Luisa Valenzuela, and Ariel Dorfman. She elucidates the varieties of social justice operating in the plots of contemporary Latin American novels: distributive, postmodern/feminist, postcolonial, transitional, and historical justices. The author further examines how masquerade and disguise aid in articulating the theme of social justice, why this is important, and how it relates to Latin American history and the historical novel.
The Chilean Dictatorship Novel

Though the civil-rights abuses by the Pinochet dictatorship in Chile (1973-1990) were later recognized by reparations and truth commissions, the difficult emotions suffered by the victims and their families were often pushed into the background or out of the national conversation entirely. In response, novelists began writing memory of feelings experienced during the dictatorship into their books. In The Chilean Dictatorship Novel, Weldt-Basson examines fifteen novels and one testimony written on the topic of dictatorship to illustrate how these Chilean narratives center on affect and emotions. Each chapter focuses on a different emotion: feelings of loss because of father abandonment and spatial injustice caused by the neoliberal urbanization of Santiago; despair articulated through tragic romances and affective landscapes; left-wing nostalgia and melancholia communicated through allegory; feelings of abjection caused by torture and betrayal; and the creation of affect through violent events, aggressive child play, and sexual torture. Through a close look at the work of José Donoso, Ariel Dorfman, Diamela Eltit, Carlos Franz, and Nona Fernández, among others, Weldt-Basson effectively argues that by inspiring emotion and creating empathy within readers, the authors of these books instill a drive in the readers for ongoing social-justice advocacy, thereby transforming the process of reading into a platform for future action. Weldt-Basson's landmark study will serve as a basis for the future study of Latin American literature for decades to come.

This book offers a critical and transdisciplinary rethinking of project management in the creative industries. Bridging theory and practice, it explores how traditional approaches can be adapted, enriched, or challenged to better respond to the complex, uncertain, and value-driven nature of contemporary creative work. Each chapter explores project management theory through clearly articulated frameworks from major schools of thought, referencing key scholarly contributions. These theoretical discussions are complemented by real-world examples from an experienced creative industries project manager, creating a dialogue between academic rigor and practical relevance. The text critically examines traditional project management assumptions, offering conceptual resources to reimagine project management as a collaborative, reflexive space for meaning-making. Drawing on provocative frameworks like the Scandinavian School and Making Projects Critical, alongside insights from design and the social sciences, it proposes integrative models that balance organizational efficiency with the unique values, rhythms, and processes inherent to creative practice. The dual approach of theoretical depth paired with practitioner wisdom equips readers with both intellectual understanding and practical tools to navigate the complexities of managing innovative projects. The result is a fresh perspective that honors the distinctive characteristics of creative work while maintaining necessary structure and direction. Managing Projects in the Creative Industries is intended for researchers, students, project management professionals, and practitioners in the cultural and creative industries who seek to enrich their practices, challenge dominant norms, and develop more human-centered, critical, and context-sensitive approaches.

Carol, who tasted her first success in holding an audience in a high-school play, and Julia Gregg, a classmate as stage struck as herself, join Phyllis Marlowe's apprentice group in New York. In this setting, Carol beings to learn about herself as an actress. Phyllis Marlowe's criticism of her first performance is hard to take, but not half as painful as Mike Horodinsky's ruthless verdict. Mike is one member of the apprentice group whom Carol thoroughly dislikes. Their antagonism flames into open warfare when Mike almost succeeds in getting Carol away from the stage altogether. However, when the real test comes, these young students meet it with such ingenuity and perseverance that even Carol and Mike forget their differences in the common bond of the theater.
Her apprenticeship at Phyllis Marlowe's Repertory Theater behind her, green-eyed Carol Page now faces her first real job in the theatre.
Fresh and eager from the success which she scored in her small parts at the Winasset summer theater, Carol Page comes down to Broadway determined to find a part. She is ready to take anything, even the lowliest walk-on, for her dander is up: her father has taunted her with the remark that she will "go bust in two months." The story of Carol's and Julia's adventures on Broadway and the story of what the theater grudgingly gives to them has the true ring, the warmth and the color, which the reader expects of a Helen Dore Boylston story. This book is perfect for every girl who ever dreamed of "going on the stage."
Carol's stage career enters a very exciting and interesting phase. It takes her out over the country on the hardest yet most colorful assignment of "show business." Carol goes "on tour." But not before the play in which she earned her first big part proved a smash hit on Broadway and she was on her way to losing her head from the resulting publicity. Her friends, Julia Gregg and caustic but devoted Mike the assistant producer, manage to prick the balloon for her and Carol comes down to earth solidly enough to accept a role in Miss Marlowe's production of The Merchant of Venice. It means more hard work and travel with no let-up from city to city as well as learning the new discipline of playing Shakespeare, but Carol accepts the challenge to develop her talent under the master playwright of them all. Carol's adventure in the theater is sure to inspire her readers to follow their dreams and reach their goals.
Carol Page is enthralled with the theater and devoted to learning her craft. Her story is filled with friendliness and humor, with the glamour of grease paint and footlights, the thrill of a one night show, and the romance of the creative world in which she feels most at home The four book set includes: Carol Goes Backstage Carol Plays Summer Stock Carol on Broadway Carol on Tour
