Book Description
In May 1969 seven assisted migrants stepped out of the plane that had touched down in a strange place called Hobart. Jenny Williams, the author of Yenni, was one of those adults. From this time on little of what Jenny and her family knew was of any use to them. Like newborns they had to learn to exist in a different world. From factory to restaurant work, to new relationships, Jenny's Coffee House takes the reader into the rich heart of a hard working family searching for their niche in life. Full of the drama and humour of a life fully lived (love, disappointment, separation and triumph), this is an evocative and compelling book. Much like the author herself, Jenny's Coffee House is inspiring, honest and real. Hobart shimmers and enchants, Europe is never far away, while Jenny welcomes us all like best friends into her world.

The Summer Hideaway: Summer has a secret in store… Alice has swapped city living for the beautiful beaches of the Outer Banks, launching an ice cream shop in the little house by the sea where she spent childhood holidays.

A Cosmography of Man
Author: Theresa Schön
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG
ISBN: 3110613670
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 358
Book Description
Designed to reform contemporary British society, Joseph Addison and Richard Steele’s The Tatler (1709-1711) and The Spectator (1711-1712, 1714) rely heavily on the representation of contemporary manners. In shaping such behavioural images, the authors made use of the satirical character sketch. Their character sketches (re)create social interactions between fictionalised representatives of moral types of men and women located in contemporary London. This study examines how Addison and Steele employed the character sketch to create a ‘cosmography’ of (wo)man by actively engaging with the observational approaches of contemporary naturalists. Addison and Steele adapted distinctly empirical methods (e.g. induction and deduction, note taking, repeated and collective observation) and appropriated the (medico-legal) case study to communicate and disseminate socio-moral knowledge. At the same time, the character sketch served them as a means to establish a taxonomic order of the socio-moral knowledge conveyed in the texts. The study sheds new light on the literary techniques and the methodological frameworks of two journals essentially associated with the British - and the European - Enlightenment.
