Book excerpt: Elliott Thompson was once a historian with a promising academic future, but his involvement in a scandal meant a lost job, public shame, and a ruined love life. He took shelter in his rural California hometown, where he teaches online classes, hoards books, and despairs of his future. Simon Odisho has lost a job as well--to a bullet that sidelined his career in law enforcement. While his shattered knee recovers, he rethinks his job prospects and searches for the courage to come out to his close-knit but conservative extended family. In an attempt to manage his overflowing book collection, Elliott builds a miniature neighborhood library in his front yard. The project puts him in touch with his neighbors--for better and worse--and introduces him to handsome, charming Simon. While romance blooms quickly between them, Elliott's not willing to live in the closet, and his best career prospects might take him far away. His books have plenty to tell him about history, but they give him no clues about a future with Simon.

Download or read book Approaches to Teaching the Novels of Henry Fielding written by Jennifer Preston Wilson and published by Modern Language Association. This book was released on 2015-12-01 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The works of Henry Fielding, though written nearly three hundred years ago, retain their sense of comedy and innovation in the face of tradition, and they easily engage the twenty-first-century student with many aspects of eighteenth-century life: travel, inns, masquerades, political and religious factions, the '45, prisons and the legal system, gender ideals and realities, social class. Part 1 of this volume, "Materials," discusses the available editions of Joseph Andrews, Tom Jones, Shamela, Jonathan Wild, and Amelia; suggests useful critical and contextual works for teaching them; and recommends helpful audiovisual and electronic resources. The essays of part 2, "Approaches," demonstrate that many of the methods and models used for one novel--the romance tradition, Fielding's legal and journalistic writing, his techniques as a playwright, the ideas of Machiavelli--can be adapted to others.

Book excerpt: by AUSTIN DOBSON AUTHOR OF STEELE HORACE WALPOLE WILLIAM HOGARTH VIGNETTES IN RHYME ETC. JEnglisb fl en of Letters EDITED BY JOHN MORLEY HARPER BROTHERS PUBLISHERS NEW YORK AND LONDON 1902 HENRY FIELDING PREFATORY NOTE. FROM a critical point of view, the works of Fielding have received abundant examination at the hands of a long line of distinguished writers. Of these, the latest is by no means the least and as Mr. Leslie Stephens brilliant studies, in the recent edition de luxe and the Cornhill Magazine, are now in every ones hands, it is perhaps no more than a wise discretion which has prompted me to confine my attention more strictly to the purely biographical side of the subject. In the present memoir, therefore, I have made it my duty, primarily, to verify such scattered anecdotes respecting Field ing as have come down to us to correct I hope not obtru sively a few mis-statements which have crept into previous accounts and to add such supplementary details as I have been able to discover for myself. In this task I have made use of the following authori ties I. Arthur Murphys Bssay on the Life and Genius of Henry iddi ig, SJsQ, This was prefixed to the first collected edi tion of Fieldings works published by Andrew Millar in June, 1762 and it continued for a long time to be the rec ognised authority for Fieldings life. It is possible that it fairly reproduces his personality, as presented by contempo rary tradition but it is misleading in its facts, and needless ly diffuse. Under pretence of respecting the manes of the dead, the writer seems to have found it pleasanter to fill his space with vagrant discussions on the Middle Comedy of vi PREFATORY NOTE. the Greeks and the machineryof the Eapo of the Lock, than to make the requisite biographical inquiries. This is the more to be deplored, because, in 1763, Fieldings widow, brother, and sister, as well as his friend Lyttclton, were still alive, and trustworthy information should have been procurable. n. Watsons Life of Henry Fielding, Esq. This is usually to be found prefixed to a selection of Fieldings works issued at Edinburgh. It also appeared as a volume in 1807, al though there is no copy of it in this form at the British Mu seum. It carries Murphy a little farther, and corrects him in some instances. But its author had clearly never even seen the Miscellanies of 1743, with their valuable Preface, for he speaks of them as one volume, and in apparent ignorance of their contents. III. Sir Walter Scotts biographical sketch for Ballantynea Novelists Library. This was published in 1821 and is now included in the writers Miscellaneous Prose Works. Sir Wal ter made no pretence to original research, and even spoke slightingly of this particular work but it has all the charm of his practised and genial pen. IV. Roscoes Memoir, compiled for the one-volume edition of Fielding, published by Washbourne and others in 1840. V. Thackerays well-known lecture, in the English 2Iu mourists of the Eighteenth Century, 1853. VI. The Life of Henry Melding with Notices of his Writ ings, his Times, and his Contemporaries. By Frederick Law rence. 1855. This is an exceedingly painstaking book, and constitutes the first serious attempt at a biography. Ita chief defect as pointed out at the time of its appearance is an ill-judged emulation of Forsters Goldsmith. The au thor attempted to make Fielding a literary centre, which is impossibleand the attempt has involved him in needless digressions. He is also not always careful to give chapter and verse for his statements. VII. Thomas Keightleys papers On the Life and Writings of Henry Fielding, i Prases Magazine for January and Feb PREFATORY NOTE. vii ruary, 1858. These, prompted by Mr. Lawrences book, are most valuable, if only for the authors frank distrust of his predecessors. They arc the work of an enthusiast, and a very conscientious examiner. If, as reported, Mr...

Book excerpt: In this new page-turner by New York Times bestselling author Joy Fielding, the life of a beautiful young defense attorney is thrown into turmoil when she is called back to her hometown to defend her disturbed, estranged mother, who publically shot and killed a man. High-powered, twenty-eight-year-old defense attorney Amanda Travis likes several things: the colour black, lunchtime Spinning classes at the fitness centre on Clematis Street in downtown Palm Beach; her all-white one-bedroom, oceanfront condo; a compliant jury; men whose wives don’t understand them. Some of the things she doesn’t: the colour pink; when the temperature outside her condo’s floor-to-ceiling windows falls below sixty-five degrees; clients who don’t follow her advice; being asked to show I.D. when she goes to a bar; nicknames of any shape or size. Something else Amanda Travis doesn’t like: memories. But when Ben, the first of her two ex-husbands, calls from her hometown of Toronto with the alarming news that her mother has shot and killed a man in the lobby of the Four Seasons Hotel, it becomes more and more difficult for Amanda to continue running from her past. Now she must return to face her demons and the life she left behind — a love that once consumed her and a mother who holds a strange, dark power over everyone she encounters. “Puppet” is the nickname Amanda’s mother once called her. But now Amanda is determined to fight her mother’s fatal whims — even if it kills her.
