A Return to the Common Reader
Author: Adelene Buckland
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 135196190X
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 184
Book Description
In 1957, Richard Altick's groundbreaking work The English Common Reader transformed the study of book history. Putting readers at the centre of literary culture, Altick anticipated-and helped produce-fifty years of scholarly inquiry into the ways and means by which the Victorians read. Now, A Return to the Common Reader asks what Altick's concept of the 'common reader' actually means in the wake of a half-century of research. Digging deep into unusual and eclectic archives and hitherto-overlooked sources, its authors give new understanding to the masses of newly literate readers who picked up books in the Victorian period. They find readers in prisons, in the barracks, and around the world, and they remind us of the power of those forgotten readers to find forbidden texts, shape new markets, and drive the production of new reading material across a century. Inspired and informed by Altick's seminal work, A Return to the Common Reader is a cutting-edge collection which dramatically reconfigures our understanding of the ordinary Victorian readers whose efforts and choices changed our literary culture forever.

Pages : 322
Book Description
Why are we so fascinated with Jane Austen’s novels? Why is Austen so universally beloved? The essayists in this volume offer their thoughts on the delightful puzzle of Austen’s popularity. Classic and contemporary writers—novelists, essayists, journalists, scholars, and a filmmaker—discuss the tricks and treasures of Austen’s novels, from her witty dialogue, to the arc and sweep of her story lines, to her prescriptions for life and love. Virginia Woolf examines Austen’s maturation as an artist and speculates on how her writing would have changed had she lived another twenty years, while Anna Quindlen examines the enduring issues of social pressure and gender politics that make Pride and Prejudice as vital today as ever. From Harold Bloom to Martin Amis, Somerset Maugham to Jay McInerney, Eudora Welty to Amy Bloom, each writer reflects on Austen’s place in both the literary canon and our cultural imagination.

Adversity (Darcy's Courtesan, Part One)
Author: Abbey North
Publisher: AbbeyJAFF
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 106
Book Description
Desperate times call for drastic measures... With Mr. Bennet dead and Lydia having fled, leaving the Bennet sisters in disgrace, the widowed Mr. Collins believes he will easily persuade Lizzy to be his new bride. When she refuses, they are forced to flee the small home they've lived in at Longbourn for the last two years. Lizzy and her sisters come to unwelcoming London, unable to seek refuge with the Gardiners because of their reputations, ruined by Lydia's actions. With dwindling prospects, Lizzy accepts an offer of assistance from an unlikely source. Much has changed for Mrs. Louisa Hurst, and she regrets the snob she used to be. She introduces Lizzy to the idea of being a courtesan and takes her to Tigerlily, where a young lady might get the proper sort of education. When Mr. Darcy learns of this, he offers marriage. Lizzy can't risk tarnishing his reputation by allowing him to make such a gesture out of honor and obligation, and he has no doubt cured himself of his reluctant love in the ensuing years, so she declines. When he accepts her decision to stay the course, he offers a bold plan. Instead of leaving her instruction to the professionals, he will train her in all the ways of pleasure himself. It is a deal Lizzy can't refuse, for it solves some of her problems and gives her a taste of what she could have had. Though she feels strongly for him, and he is a master instructor, she must remember not to love Mr. Darcy, for she can never be more than his courtesan. Can she? This is part one of a completed three-part serial. The subsequent titles (?Avidity? and ?Amity?) will be releasing shortly, followed by a compilation of the serial. While Abbey sometimes writes sweet JAFF, this is extra SENSUAL, and the door is wide open. It includes love scenes that are scorching. This is only for adult readers who don't object to explicit intimacies between ODC.
