Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

The best sexual tension I've read in a long time—combined with the wonderfully fresh plot and memorable characters, I didn't put this book down once!" —Lauren Layne, NYT bestselling author I'm scarred. Broken. I'll never be the same. Ever since my last dive ended in bloodshed, I've been terrified to go back into the water. But I need to get my life back. And I've convinced myself a semester at sea is the only way to do it. I never expected Tristan MacDougall. Rugged, strong, and with demons of his own, Tristan helps me find the courage I thought I had lost and heals me with every stolen moment we share...even though the rules of the ship mean we can't be together. But that's the least of our problems, because my biggest fear has become a reality, and I'm not sure either one of us will survive.

The Cult of Saint Katherine of Alexandria in Late-Medieval Nuremberg

Saint and the City

By: Anne Simon

Katherine of Alexandria was a major object of devotion within medieval Europe, ranking second only to the Virgin Mary in the canon of female saints. Yet despite her undoubted importance, relatively little is known about the significance and function of her cult within the German-speaking territories that stood at the heart of Europe. Anne Simon's study adds a welcome new interdisciplinary perspective to the study of Saint Katherine and the wider ecclesiastical landscape of a medieval Europe poised on the edge of religious change. Taking as a case study the wealthy and politically influential merchant city of Nuremberg, this book draws on a wide variety of textual and visual sources to explore interrelated themes: the shaping of urban space through the cult of Saint Katherine; her role in the moulding and advertising patrician identity and alliances through cultural patronage; and patrician use of the saint to showcase the city's political, economic, cultural and religious importance at the heart of the Holy Roman Empire. Further , the book reveals the construction of exemplarity in Saint Katherine's legend and miracles and their resonance within the context of the city and the Dominican Convent of Saint Katherine, whose nuns came from the same status-aware, confident patrician elite that so loyally supported successive Emperors. Filling a significant gap in current research, the work has much to offer scholars of medieval history, hagiography, art history, German studies, cultural and urban studies. Hence it not only expands our understanding of Saint Katherine's importance in German-speaking territories, but also adds to the picture of her cult in its European perspective.

When a job searching for a runaway teen brings Redemption Club members gunning for her, putting those she cares about in danger, she'll risk everything to fight the enemy. Including her heart.Jared Bennigan, Las Vegas bodyguard to the elite, accepted his latest job hoping it would lead to his missing sister. All evidence points to his client as the last person to have seen her, but he's not the only one looking for a woman who disappeared. Skye's enticing blue eyes contradict her tough, distrusting exterior, revealing an intriguing combination of vulnerability and intelligence. But those eyes are watching his client--through her rifle's scope. To find both missing women, Jared will need to convince Skye--who plays a wicked game of hard-to-get--to be his partner. And with the Redemption Club intent on making Skye the prey in a human hunting expedition, her skills, and her trust in Jared, will be put to the test. It's the ultimate game of survival of the fittest. But who will win?

Convict Voices

Women, Class, and Writing about Prison in Nineteenth-Century England

By: Anne Schwan

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Convict Voices

Women, Class, and Writing about Prison in Nineteenth-Century England

By: Anne Schwan

In this lively study of the development and transformation of voices of female offenders in nineteenth-century England, Anne Schwan analyzes a range of colorful sources, including crime broadsides, reform literature, prisoners' own writings about imprisonment and courtroom politics, and conventional literary texts, such as Adam Bede and The Moonstone. Not only does Schwan demonstrate strategies for interpreting ambivalent and often contradictory texts, she also provides a carefully historicized approach to the work of feminist recovery. Crossing class lines, genre boundaries, and gender roles in the effort to trace prisoners, authors, and female communities (imagined or real), Schwan brings new insight to what it means to locate feminist (or protofeminist) details, arguments, and politics. In this case, she tracks the emergence of a contested, and often contradictory, feminist consciousness, through the prism of nineteenth-century penal debates. The historical discussion is framed by reflections on contemporary debates about prisoner perspectives to illuminate continuities and differences. Convict Voices offers a sophisticated approach to interpretive questions of gender, genre, and discourse in the representation of female convicts and their voices and viewpoints.

Richard Wagner and the English

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Richard Wagner and the English

By: Anne Dzamba Sessa

Wagner was more than a composer--he was a cultural phenomenon. The author seeks to explain this phenomenon. One claim is that Wagner's music dramas served to provide encouragement and inspiration to Victorians struggling with the problems of a changing and challenging era. Intellectual developments (including the theories of Charles Darwin and the impact of historical scholarship on Biblical studies) had struck a severe blow against religious orthodoxy. Thus, the English strove to retain their inherited or instinctive beliefs and at the same time to accept the conclusions of natural and social science. Frustrated by the academic arguments, many persons turned to less intellectual substitutes, including Wagnerism. Almost all of Wagner's plots involve some form of redemption and hunger for the infinite. The author also claims that Wagnerism drew on the Victorian need for social justice, and points out that just as many Wagnerians sought emancipation from confining materialist philosophies or simply delighted in sexual liberation.

Once Upon the Disenchanted Ever After

The Truth about Fairy Tales

By: Mina Anne Poe

Once Upon the Disenchanted Ever After: The Truth about Fairy Tales by Mina Anna Poe This is Mina Anne Poe’s take on the classic fairy tales we grew up with when we were young. These somber and hauntingly enchanted tales are for a new generation of readers. These tales show a more bittersweet side of the “happily ever after” we all dreamed about when we were young, naïve and believed in love at first sight. These stories dispel that myth with every twist the characters must endure to find their perfect ending. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. There are people who are loyal – and ones who will betray. In every tale, there has to be a balance of good and evil. These tales are not as graphic or as disturbing as the ones written by the Brothers Grimm. Poe felt that terrifying the reader was the wrong way to entice them. Although these tales are dark, they are suitable for most readers. These stories have magic and enchantment. Poe has more tales to tell – just waiting patiently for one day!

Love

By: Anne Marie Pahuus

Love is all around. A romantic cliche? No, a fact of human life. Just ask Anne Marie Pahuus, a Danish philosopher at Aarhus University. Love is essentially the closest, most intense relationships we have, for instance with our partners and children. Its wide range of emotions runs from erotic passion to friendship, from delight to torment. Love can conquer all, and it can bring life-long sorrow. Down through the ages - in a variety of guises - love has been the favourite theme of thinkers and artists, as indeed it remains to this day.

Economy of the Unlost

(Reading Simonides of Keos with Paul Celan)

By: Anne Carson

The ancient Greek lyric poet Simonides of Keos was the first poet in the Western tradition to take money for poetic composition. From this starting point, Anne Carson launches an exploration, poetic in its own right, of the idea of poetic economy. She offers a reading of certain of Simonides' texts and aligns these with writings of the modern Romanian poet Paul Celan, a Jew and survivor of the Holocaust, whose "economies" of language are notorious. Asking such questions as, What is lost when words are wasted? and Who profits when words are saved? Carson reveals the two poets' striking commonalities. In Carson's view Simonides and Celan share a similar mentality or disposition toward the world, language and the work of the poet. Economy of the Unlost begins by showing how each of the two poets stands in a state of alienation between two worlds. In Simonides' case, the gift economy of fifth-century b.c. Greece was giving way to one based on money and commodities, while Celan's life spanned pre- and post-Holocaust worlds, and he himself, writing in German, became estranged from his native language. Carson goes on to consider various aspects of the two poets' techniques for coming to grips with the invisible through the visible world. A focus on the genre of the epitaph grants insights into the kinds of exchange the poets envision between the living and the dead. Assessing the impact on Simonidean composition of the material fact of inscription on stone, Carson suggests that a need for brevity influenced the exactitude and clarity of Simonides' style, and proposes a comparison with Celan's interest in the "negative design" of printmaking: both poets, though in different ways, employ a kind of negative image making, cutting away all that is superfluous. This book's juxtaposition of the two poets illuminates their differences--Simonides' fundamental faith in the power of the word, Celan's ultimate despair--as well as their similarities; it provides fertile ground for the virtuosic interplay of Carson's scholarship and her poetic sensibility.

The Thinking Cat's Guide to the Millennium

By: Ringer McGee,Anne Richmond Boston

Step aside Garfield. The Millennium is here and it's Ringer's turn. Combine the slyness of Sylvester with the erudition and literary range of Collette's cats, May Sarton's The Fur Person, and T.S. Eliot's Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats, and, well, you have Ringer. And, just in time... As Y2K sneaks up on us, Ringer is here to help us keep it all in perspective. A cat of many talents and opinions, after Ringer has taken in the daily headlines, surfed the Internet, and read a little dog-eared Proust, he still has time to dish up a fine feast of much - needed advice for all of us humans who need to relax a little as the year 2000 approaches. So, no computer crashes or coming Armageddon, just a good time spent with a cat who knows just a little bit more about things than we do, or so he thinks.Find Out: - Why cats make better companions than dogs...Cats are the smooth caress of a silken sweater against the cheek of a lovely girl on an autumn day. Dogs, on the other hand, are sock lint.- Why cats are smarter than people...I hate to break it to you, but people are to cats as Madonna is to Albert Einstein. We just hang out with you from pity. And, oh, there's that food thing.- Why cats aren't involved in politics...My advice to people worried about politics is to take a nap. If it hasn't passed when you wake up, wash your face and go kill a rodent. That always makes me feel better.- Why cats know more about the Y2K problem than humans...What's the problem? People are the ones who created all this nonsense about dates. My own theory is people live too long for their own good and create imaginary problems out of boredom. I don't worry about Y2K at all. What reallyscares me, though, is the thought that 'Hanging with Mr. Cooper' might go into reruns.

Lady Derring Takes a Lover

The Palace of Rogues

By: Julie Anne Long

A mistress. A mountain of debt. A mysterious wreck of a building. Delilah Swanpoole, Countess of Derring, learns the hard way that her husband, “Dear Dull Derring,” is a lot more interesting—and perfidious—dead than alive. It’s a devil of an inheritance, but in the grand ruins of the one building Derring left her, are the seeds of her liberation. And she vows never again to place herself at the mercy of a man. But battle-hardened Captain Tristan Hardy is nothing if not merciless. When the charismatic naval hero tracks a notorious smuggler to a London boarding house known as the Rogue’s Palace, seducing the beautiful, blue-blooded proprietress to get his man seems like a small sacrifice. They both believe love is a myth. But a desire beyond reason threatens to destroy the armor around their hearts. Now a shattering decision looms: Will Tristan betray his own code of honor…or choose a love that might be the truest thing he’s ever known?
