Never See a Need

Never See a Need

By: Marie Therese Foale

Never See a Need is an account of the lives and works of the Sisters of St Joseph of the Sacred Heart in South Australia from the time of their foundation in 1866 until Mary MacKillop's canonisation in 2010. Much happened during those 144 years. There were dark times and bright times, times of growth and expansion interspersed with times of decline, times of stability and times of change, and through it all, the members of the Congregation never forgot their call to do what they could to remedy the evils and ills of their society. They were educators, but they also looked out for the welfare of the poor and disadvantaged in different ways as they moved across the landscape to wherever they were needed, always a "people on the move" but always stable in their devotion to their ministry.

Irony and Idyll

Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice and Mansfield Park on Screen

By: Marie N. Sørbø

Jane Austen’s worldwide popularity is not least due to the remaking of her novels for the visual media. Of the fifty-odd Austen related productions since 1938, forty-three of them adapt her novels to the various screens of cinema, television, computer and tablet. However, her attraction for film-makers is undoubtedly promoted by her own qualities. As a novelist, Jane Austen has been particularly recognized for her ironic voice, which dominates all her stories and gives the readers a peculiar perspective on her world. Do film-makers want this, and if so, how do they transmit her attitude of amused distance? In the present book, Marie N. Sørbø investigates the function and targets of irony in two novels and seven films. Irony and Idyll is the first book-length study of Austen’s irony since 1952, and the only comparative analysis of all the available screen adaptations of Pride and Prejudice and Mansfield Park. On the bicentenary of their publication, these novels continue to influence modern culture. Marie Nedregotten Sørbø has taught English literature at Volda University College, Norway, for many years, including courses on film and fiction. For her doctoral degree she wrote a dissertation on the reception of Jane Austen on screen. Sørbø has contributed the Norwegian chapters to the volumes on The Reception of Jane Austen in Europe (2007) and The Reception of George Eliot in Europe (forthcoming, 2015). She was part of the leadership of the European COST Action “Women Writers in History” (2009-13), and is a Principal Investigator in the HERA funded project “Travelling TexTs 1790-1914: The Transnational Reception of Women’s Writing at the Fringes of Europe” (2013-16).

Seasons

Yesterday, Today and All Those Tomorrows

By: Marie Bishop

Author Marie Bishop likens her life to climate. Each season has had its own climate—growth in different ways in each season, different challenges, and different countries. In Seasons, she narrates her story, telling how her spring years were spent in war-ravaged Liverpool, England, where her large and loving extended family provided security. This memoir chronicles how summer blossomed with immigration to Rhodesia—with romance, marriage, and children. And then on toward then end of summer, Rhodesia became Zimbabwe—taking her through to her autumn years, a season of spiritual growth and recognizing God’s healing power. But most of all, Marie recognizes where God has been at work, and she records the times he’s answered prayers and directed paths, times when he’s orchestrated events and changes in her life. Sometimes these events looked like chance happenings, coincidences, but other could only be deemed miracles. She sees them now as road markers, steppingstones, as God guided her on her journey, not coincidences but God incidences.
