Elizabeth Miller

Bram Stoker's initial notes and outlines for his landmark horror novel Dracula were auctioned at Sotheby's in London in 1913 and eventually made their way to the Rosenbach Museum and Library in Philadelphia, where they are housed today. Until now, few of the 124 pages have been transcribed or analyzed. This painstaking work reproduces the handwritten notes both in facsimile and in annotated transcription. It also includes Stoker's typewritten research notes and thoroughly analyzes all of the materials, which range from Stoker's thoughts on the novel's characters and settings to a nine-page calendar of events that includes most of the now-familiar story. Ample annotations guide readers through the construction of the novel and the changes that were made to its structure, plot, setting and characters. Nine appendices provide insight into Stoker's personal life, his other works and his early literary influences.

Bram Stoker died over 100 years ago, just days after the Titanic sank. We know him as the author of Dracula, but long before Dracula, he was just a young Irishman, hoping to be a writer, practicing poetry, and enjoying a good joke.This Lost Journal (now found) is an amazing opportunity to get into the young mind of the Dracula author - to see who he was (law clerk), where he lived (Dublin, Ireland), and what he thought about (everything from walking on the beach and unrequited love to drunken parties at Dublin Castle and sliding in vomit).Dr. Miller and Dacre Stoker make interesting comments about Bram's entries, and, as they say, some of the short notes are like twittering.Imagine decoding somebody's twitter messages 141 years from now in the year 2153. Some of Stoker's notes are just that impossible - even for editors Stoker & Miller, who have studied Bram Stoker for years. The most obscure references will provide a field day for Irish history buffs and English professors who want to challenge their students of Gothic literature.A few years ago, Bram Stoker's great-grandson found in his attic a journal Stoker had kept during the 1870s while he was young and single, still living in Dublin. All of the entries (over 300) are published in this new book, researched by Elizabeth Miller and Dacre Stoker.The insights provided into Stoker's life and personality are exciting and unprecedented. We get glimpses into his friendships at Trinity College, his office mates at Dublin Castle, family members, his interest in athletics, as well as his travels around Ireland and on the Continent. We also get to know him better as a writer and see how his skills developed.The editors say Bram Stoker never thought anybody would care about these notes so he wrote for himself, which is so revealing on many levels.

Nearly twenty years ago Beth Miller moved with her husband and four young kids from suburban New Jersey to a 200-year-old Federal period house and barn in rural Maine. She didn’t garden, she didn’t keep chickens or bees, she didn’t know how to preserve food, and she didn’t know how to make soap or hook rugs. She embarked on a journey to learn these heritage skills that have been largely forgotten, and today she owns and operates Parris House Wool Works, a traditional rug-hooking company serving both crafters and end buyers. It is also a working village homestead and workshop where she practices and teaches heritage skills, including all aspects of gardening, beekeeping, rug hooking, preserving, and soap making. Seasons at the Parris House is separated into seasonal sections and includes historical context and homestead related activities for each season, plus instructions for a set of related projects and recipes.

Il capo mercante di Ascalon era nella camera degli ospiti della sua casa. Sebbene fosse una giornata di fine inverno, il vecchio indossava le libere vesti bianche di un pomeriggio di mezza estate, perch con tristezza della Filistea la stagione fredda dell'anno sessantanove era stata calda, umida e miasmica. Una donna anziana entrando subito lanci un'occhiata alle finestre chiuse dell'appartamento quando not il viso arrossato del commerciante ma non fece alcun movimento per aprirle. Pi che il calore della giornata stava attirando l'attenzione del grave vecchio, e la donna, con abiti e modi di pari grado con lui, si fece da parte finch non pot concederle un momento. Il suo portiere si inchin al suo fianco. "I servi di Filippo di Tiro sono fuori", disse. "Devono entrare?" "Sono venuti per gli arredi," rispose Costobarus. "Prendi tutta la casa tranne Momus e Hiram, e smantella le stanze per loro. Inizia dalla biblioteca; poi le camere da letto; questa camera successiva; la cucina per ultima. Manda Hiram alle scuderie ad eccezione di tre buoni cammelli da la mandria per il nostro uso. Lascia che Momus controlli il bagaglio. Dov' Keturah? " Una serva che si affrettava a seguire una fila di uomini che portavano un grande divano, raccogliendo i drappeggi ei cuscini che erano caduti, si ferm e salut il suo padrone.
