The Patch of Blue (Musaicum Romance Classics)
Author: Grace Livingston Hill
Publisher: e-artnow
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 134
Book Description
Natalie and Chris are a young and happy couple who thought that life of joy is upon them. Sudden outbreak of the Great Depression ruins their plans... In the time of despair Natalie's faith and Chris' dedication will push them trough and prove that with pure love all adversity can be overcome. Grace Livingston Hill was an early 20th-century novelist and wrote both under her real name and the pseudonym Marcia Macdonald. She wrote over 100 novels and numerous short stories and her characters are most often young female Christian women or those who become so within the confines of the story. Hill's messages are simple in nature: good versus evil. As Hill believed that the Bible was very clear about what was good and evil in life and had firm faith God's ability to restore everything, the same belief was also reflected in her own works. Even today Hill's novels are widely read and appreciated for their romance and their inspiring life lessons.

A Hundreth Sundrie Flowres
Author: George Gascoigne
Publisher: Oxford University Press on Demand
ISBN: 9780198117797
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 781
Book Description
This is the only edition of George Gascoigne's A Hundreth Sundrie Flowres to respect the integrity of the first edition, which he published as an anonymous anthology in 1573. Earlier editors either based their work on The Posies of George Gascoigne Esquire, self-censored and published in1575, or omitted the two plays, Supposes and Jocasta. But, from a bibliographical point of view, the plays are an integral part of the first edition, and the work that suffers most from revision is Gascoigne's masterpiece, The Adventures of Master F.J. The critical apparatus of this edition allowsthe reader to reconstruct the changes Gascoigne made to The Posies, and all the works which appear there for the first time are included. Half of the works in this edition, including the plays and Gascoigne's longest poem, `The fruites of Warre', have never received any commentary before. The commentary closely studies Gascoigne's use of his sources, especially in his translations from the Italian, and situates his works in theirliterary and social milieux. It also includes all of the extensive marginal notes that Gabriel Harvey made in his copy of The Posies. The biographical introduction corrects a number of mistakes in Prouty's standard biography and, in particular, offers a fuller, more accurate account of Gascoigne'smilitary service in the Netherlands.
