Revenge of the Pastors' Wives" By Monolesia Graves Williams Pastor Byron E. Williams, Sr., Co-Author Gail McGregor has been married to a pastor long enough to know all about the foibles and fantasies surrounding the unofficial title of "First Lady." The expectations of being a pastor's wife were too high; the rewards, too low. During her marriage to a pastor, she has experienced tears and tragedies, unfulfilled days and lonely nights, doctors' visits, tranquilizers and even a nervous breakdown. All the problems involved with being married to a "man of God" have driven her to wit's end. Having already sought out every avenue she knows to find understanding, genuine acceptance and love, she now devises her own form of coping--revenge. Having secured a few comrades, she embarks on a vengeful journey that leads to the most unlikely places... She soon discovers that although revenge is "a dish best served cold," true vengeance should be left in much larger Hands than her own.

George Gordon Byron was a superb letter-writer: almost all his letters, whatever the subject or whoever the recipient, are enlivened by his wit, his irony, his honesty, and the sharpness of his observation of people. They provide a vivid self-portrait of the man who, of all his contemporaries, seems to express attitudes and feelings most in tune with the twentieth century. In addition, they offer a mirror of his own time. This first collected edition of all Byronâe(tm)s known letters supersedes Protheroâe(tm)s incomplete edition at the turn of the century. It includes a considerable number of hitherto unpublished letters and the complete text of many that were bowdlerized by former editors for a variety of reasons. Protheroâe(tm)s edition included 1,198 letters. This edition has more than 3,000, over 80 percent of them transcribed entirely from the original manuscripts.The ninth volume in Leslie Marchandâe(tm)s highly acclaimed, unexpurgated edition of Byronâe(tm)s letters finds the poet in Pisa with Teresa Guiccioli. His unique journal, âeoeDetached Thoughts,âe is finished shortly after his arrival in November 1821, and he is drawn into Shelleyâe(tm)s circle (including Edward Williams, Thomas Medwin, John Taaffe, and later Trelawny). His letters to Mary Shelley, the Hunts, and Trelawny after the death of Shelley are especially moving. Another tragedy, the death of his daughter Allegra, leaves him deeply affected, and he refers to it time and time again.Money problems continue to plague him, as do suspicions surrounding his political activities. Following a fracas with a half-drunken dragoon and the imprisonment of two of his servants because of it, Byron is forced to leave Pisa and install himself and Teresa in a villa near Leghorn. His correspondence with his publisher reveals increasing displeasure with Murrayâe(tm)s delays, indecision, and anxiety over Don Juan, and Byron finally breaks off the relationship. But his output of verse is in no way lessened, and by the end of this volume in 1822, he has finished six more cantos for Don Juan as well as other poems.
Why would the thirteenth-century French prose Lancelot-Grail Cycle have been attributed to Walter Map, a twelfth-century writer from the Anglo-Welsh borderlands? Joshua Byron Smith sets out to answer this and other questions and offers a new explanation for how narratives about the pre-Saxon inhabitants of Britain circulated in England.
There has been growing interest in recent years in the presence and image of blacks and blackness in classical antiquity. However this pioneering and much needed work is the first to survey and theorise the black as seen by early Christian writers.

Byron's exuberant masterpiece tells of the adventures of Don Juan, beginning with his illicit love affair at the age of sixteen in his native Spain and his subsequent exile to Italy. Following a dramatic shipwreck, his exploits take him to Greece, where he is sold as a slave, and to Russia, where he becomes a favourite of the Empress Catherine who sends him on to England. Written entirely in ottava rima stanza form, Byron's Don Juan blends high drama with earthy humour, outrageous satire of his contemporaries (in particular Wordsworth and Southey) and sharp mockery of Western societies, with England coming under particular attack.
