Languages : en
Pages : 431
Book Description
In this “vibrant, sensitive, and unusual” Regency romance, a woman must tame a beast of a man while he seeks to bring out her most primitive desires (Romantic Times). When prim English governess Chelsea Wickersham agrees to tutor the long-lost heir of the mysterious Cane estate, she expects to find a young boy eager to learn. But she is shocked to discover that her new pupil is not a boy—in fact, he barely seems to be a man. Wild and uncivilized, Sullivan Cane was only recently found on a remote island and brought back to take his rightful place within the family. But Cane is no simple beast. After years of self-exile away from his scheming relations, he was forced to return to his family estate in Scotland. Now, he continues to play the role of wild man to outwit his backstabbing brethren. Even as he grows exhausted of his brutish pretense, he takes pleasure in watching the walls of Chelsea’s façade crumble. But while passion grows between teacher and student, a sinister enemy lurks in their midst, threating their love and their lives . . . This alluring novel of deception and desire will “make you laugh, cry and leave you sleepless while you try to read just one more page” (Affaire de Coeur).

Revealing Masks
Author: W. Anthony Sheppard
Publisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 9780520924741
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 408
Book Description
W. Anthony Sheppard considers a wide-ranging constellation of important musical works in this fascinating exploration of ritualized performance in twentieth-century music. Revealing Masks uncovers the range of political, didactic, and aesthetic intents that inspired the creators of modernist music theater. Sheppard is especially interested in the use of the "exotic" in techniques of masking and stylization, identifying Japanese Noh, medieval Christian drama, and ancient Greek theater as the most prominent exotic models for the creation of "total theater." Drawing on an extraordinarily diverse—and in some instances, little-known—range of music theater pieces, Sheppard cites the work of Igor Stravinsky, Benjamin Britten, Arthur Honegger, Peter Maxwell Davies, Harry Partch, and Leonard Bernstein, as well as Andrew Lloyd Webber and Madonna. Artists in literature, theater, and dance—such as William Butler Yeats, Paul Claudel, Bertolt Brecht, Isadora Duncan, Ida Rubenstein, and Edward Gordon Craig--also play a significant role in this study. Sheppard poses challenging questions that will interest readers beyond those in the field of music scholarship. For example, what is the effect on the audience and the performers of depersonalizing ritual elements? Does borrowing from foreign cultures inevitably amount to a kind of predatory appropriation? Revealing Masks shows that compositional concerns and cultural themes manifested in music theater are central to the history of twentieth-century Euro-American music, drama, and dance.
