Download or read book Charles Areskine s Library written by Karen Baston and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2016-04-26 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Charles Areskine’s Library, Karen Baston uses a detailed study of an eighteenth-century Scottish advocate’s private book collection to explore key themes in the Scottish Enlightenment including secularisation, modernisation, internationalisation, and the development of legal literature in Scotland. By exploring a surviving manuscript dated 1731that lists a Scottish lawyer’s library, Karen Baston demonstrates that the books Charles Areskine owned, used in practice, and read for pleasure embedded him in the intellectual culture that expanded in early eighteenth-century Scotland. Areskine and his fellow advocates emerged as scholarly and sociable gentlemen who led their nation. Lawyers were integral to and integrated with the Scottish society that allowed the Scottish Enlightenment to take root and flourish within Areskine’s lifetime.

Download or read book The Darcy Myth written by Rachel Feder and published by Quirk Books. This book was released on 2023-11-07 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A wildly entertaining read.”—The Washington Post What if we've been reading Jane Austen and romantic classics all wrong? A literary scholar offers a funny, brainy, eye-opening take on how our contemporary love stories are actually terrifying. Covering cultural touchstones ranging from Normal People to Taylor Swift and from Lord Byron to The Bachelor, The Darcy Myth is a book for anyone who loves thinking deeply about literature and culture—whether it’s Jane Austen or not. You already know Mr. Darcy—at least you think you do! The brooding, rude, standoffish romantic hero of Pride and Prejudice, Darcy initially insults and ignores the witty heroine, but eventually succumbs to her charms. It’s a classic enemies-to-lovers plot, and one that has profoundly influenced our cultural ideas about courtship. But what if this classic isn’t just a grand romance, but a horror novel about how scary love and marriage can be for women? In The Darcy Myth, literature scholar Rachel Feder unpacks Austen’s Gothic influences and how they’ve led us to a romantic ideal that’s halfway to being a monster story. Why is our culture so obsessed with cruel, indifferent romantic heroes (and sometimes heroines)? How much of that is Darcy’s fault? And, now that we know, what do we do about it?

Download or read book Holy Clues written by Stephen Kendrick and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2000-07-11 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If God is the greatest mystery of them all, then why not, in pursuit of God, consult the greatest detective of them all? In this imaginative and surprisingly profound book, Stephen Kendrick reveals Sherlock Holmes as spiritual guide. Drawing on the teachings of Christianity, Buddhism, and Judaism--as well as a host of thinkers as varied as Albert Einstein, Gandhi, and Vincent van Gogh--Kendrick explores the stories of Sherlock Holmes and finds remarkably prescient religious insights. He shows us the link between careful observation of clues and the Buddhist concept of "Bare Attention." He illuminates the parallel between the great sleuth's pursuit of justice and God's actions on the scene of the first murder, when Cain slew Abel. And in the detective's open, engaged mind, Kendrick finds a model for uniting the principles of science with a sincere spiritual quest. The result is a book of inspiration for the modern, skeptical searcher--and an entertaining work that sheds new light on the methods of the world's greatest detective.

Download or read book Mr Darcy s Challenge written by Monica Fairview and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2014-11-23 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Darcy dreams of winning Elizabeth Bennet's hand and he has a strategy worked out. But when a chance encounter prompts Darcy to propose to Elizabeth before he has rescued Lydia, his plans go horribly awry. Broken hearted, disillusioned and bitterly regretting his impulsive action, Darcy sees no point in fulfilling the terms of his pledge. After all, rescuing Lydia might save Elizabeth's reputation, but why should he assist her when they have no future together? Once again, Darcy finds himself faced with impossible choices: being selfless, even knowing there is no chance of reward; or holding onto his dignity by turning his back on the Bennets once and for all. Pride and love are at loggerheads as he struggles to choose between his mind ... and his heart. Volume Two of The Darcy Novels continues the story began in Mr. Darcy's Pledge but can be read as an independent book as well. The novel would appeal to readers of traditional Regency Romance as well as lovers of Jane Austen variations. Praise for Volume One of The Darcy Novels: Mr. Darcy's Pledge "The premise was brilliant - not only wickedly fun to witness, but very believable as well." Austenesque Reviews "Mr. Darcy's Pledge has to be one of my favorite pieces of Austenesque fiction... I found this book to be funny and romantic." Kinx's Book Nook "There is so much humour, from wry asides here and there, to the awful comic creations of Lord and Lady Matlock." Leatherbound Reviews "Fairview really knows and loves the Austen characters and writes them so realistically. I love Darcy's inner turmoil in this book." Laura's Reviews General Praise for Monica Fairview "elegantly written... excellent" Everything Victorian and More "Cleverly crafted and humorously engaging" Austenprose "Fairview's effort falls squarely in the good category. This will appeal to Austen and Regency romance fans alike." - Library Journal "Fairview's characters often come out with little echoes of Jane Austen truisms." - Historical Novel Reviews "Many beloved characters from P&P reappear, and it was a joy to read a sequel that breathes fresh yet true life into the denizens of Hunsford and Pemberley. No liberties are taken... Ms. Fairview provides excellent character extension to Mr. Darcy. Ms. Fairview is a definite treasure." All About Romance

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eat a crumpet. Check. Say “bloody hell” in an English pub. Check. Solve three murders and fall in love? Definitely not on the list. But when England dishes up murder, even an American girl knows it’s time to channel her inner Agatha Christie. American Eliza Darcy travels to Merry Old England to partake in a Darcy/Bennet family reunion for one reason: to solve the estrangement between her father and uncle. Not long after Eliza’s arrival and exploration of the vast estate of her ancestors, a dead body surfaces. Murder and mayhem replace afternoon teas and flirting with her British heartthrob. Eliza has every intention of keeping her snoot out of official Scotland Yard business, but when clues to the murder begin to merge with her investigation into her family’s rift, her inner wannabe sleuth self-activates. With the help of her batty great-aunt and the sexy Heath Tilney, Eliza hurries to untangle the web of lies and secrets. As corpses start to pile up faster than the clues, Eliza fears the estate’s family graveyard will swallow another body: hers.
