Book Description
Prideful & Persuaded follows six minor and sometimes villainous characters as they scheme and stumble towards marriage, each seeking their own vision of happily ever after. If, like Jane Austen, pictures of perfection make you sick and wicked, this is the novel for you! In this playful, clean, Jane Austen-inspired crossover romance, Caroline Bingley (Pride & Prejudice) travels to Bath, determined to marry at last. She could never have imagined that three highly eligible men have each resolved to find a wife: Sir Walter Elliot (Persuasion), Major Frederick Tilney (Northanger Abbey), and Tom Bertram (Mansfield Park). With only Elizabeth Elliot (Persuasion) and Nancy Steele (Sense & Sensibility) standing between her and perfect happiness, who will Caroline choose? Will Caroline follow her heart or be blinded by wealth and titles? Could Sir Walter ever love anyone more than himself? Can anyone live up to Elizabeth's standards? Has Tom really left his frivolous past behind him? Is Frederick done breaking hearts? And does Nancy have any chance at all? Do any of them really deserve a happy ending?

Sins of the Fathers
Author: Hilaire Kallendorf
Publisher: University of Toronto Press
ISBN: 144266102X
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 540
Book Description
Sins of the Fathers considers sins as nodes of cultural anxiety and explores the tensions between competing organizational categories for moral thought and behaviours, namely the Seven Deadly Sins and the Ten Commandments. Hilaire Kallendorf explores the decline and rise of these organizational categories against critical transformations of the early modern period, such as the accession of Spain to a position of world dominance and the arrival of a new courtly culture to replace an old warrior ethos. This ground-breaking study is the first to consider Spanish Golden Age comedias as an archive of moral knowledge. Kallendorf has examined over 800 of these plays to illustrate how they provide insight into aspects of early modern experience such as food, sex, work, and money. Finally, Kallendorf engages the theoretical terminology of Marxist literary criticism to demonstrate the inherent ambiguity of cultural change.

The book contains the first annotated English translation of the Correct Explanation of the Tang “Stele Eulogy on the Luminous Teaching” (1644) by the Jesuit Manuel Dias Jr. and other late Ming Chinese Christian sources interpreting the “venerable ancestor” of the Jesuit mission, namely, the mission of the Church of the East in Tang China.
