The Romance of the Holy Land in American Travel Writing, 1790–1876
Author: Brian Yothers
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317017056
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 152
Book Description
This book is the first to engage with the full range of American travel writing about nineteenth-century Ottoman Palestine, and the first to acknowledge the influence of the late-eighteenth-century Barbary captivity narrative on nineteenth-century travel writing about the Middle East. Brian Yothers argues that American travel writing about the Holy Land forms a coherent, if greatly varied, tradition, which can only be fully understood when works by major writers such as Twain and Melville are studied alongside missionary accounts, captivity narratives, chronicles of religious pilgrimages, and travel writing in the genteel tradition. Yothers also examines works by lesser-known authors such as Bayard Taylor, John Lloyd Stephens, and Clorinda Minor, demonstrating that American travel writing is marked by a profound intertextuality with the Hebrew and Christian scriptures and with British and continental travel narratives about the Holy Land. His concluding chapter on Melville's Clarel shows how Melville's poem provides an incisive critique of the nascent imperial discourse discernible in the American texts with which it is in dialogue.

Book Description
This Tinkerbell is finally in with The Lost Boys. Seriously, she's the new lead singer for their band. But the guitarist she's crushing on only sees her as a cute little mascot. And the guy who's crushing on her? She doesn't see him at all. I blame my car. If the stupid old clunker hadn't broken down, I would have had time to go home and change before auditioning for lead singer of my crush's band. Instead, I showed up in a Tinkerbell costume. Awesome. Now I'm not so much the hot rocker chick as I am that weird fairy girl, but whatever. I mean, I got the gig, that's what counts. And I owe it all to Maverick. If the newest member of the Princess Troupe hadn't stopped and played a real life prince by rescuing me and giving me a ride, I never would have gotten to the audition at all. Maverick even goes so far as to stick around and give me a ride home afterward, which is really going above and beyond for a new work friend. But when he tries to kiss me at the end of the night? Friends, we've officially entered never-never land. This can't be real. We live in two different worlds. Someone needs to tell Maverick that star football players don't go for girls like me. He says he's cool with being friends first, so yeah...okay. Friends I can do. Besides, it looks like I'm gonna need all the friends I can get as I prove to my new band that I'm not some kid who likes to play dress up. I'm a grown up. Mostly. Just...don't challenge me to a game of Never Have I Ever.

Book Description
Augusta "Gussie" Dulan is the only Dulan sister to make it all the way to California on the wagon train for brides. Each of her four sisters has taken off along the trail to marry up with a man they fell in love with and now Gussie is hoping to find a man to love here at the end of the trail. Dressing in her fabulous red satin dancing dress, complete with black lace and feathered headdress, Gussie lines up with the other potential brides to see whom it is that they will marry. Gideon Jefferson, the town preacher, takes one look at Gussie and is horrified at her saloon girl outfit, but things turn even worse when his number is called and he "wins" Gussie's hand in marriage. Gussie is less that pleased to be stuck with this wretched, assuming man. Neither wants to be married, so they make a pact that she will be on the first wagon train out after the winter. In the meantime, Gussie will come home with him and tend to his four young daughters and run his unruly house. It seems like a good arrangement. But Gussie is much more than Gideon could have imagined. She not only keeps the house immaculate, the table filled with delicious food, the girls clean and happy, she has the women of the town following her example and turning Gideon's and the rest of the men's lives upside down. Neither Gussie nor Gideon will admit they actually have feelings for one another. It takes a lot of courage, four little girls, and a whole town to bring them both to their senses.
