Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The little-known story of the woman who walked 1,500 miles to Rome to challenge the pope in 1621. Four centuries ago, an Englishwoman completed an astonishing walk to Rome. A Catholic, Mary Ward had already defied the authorities in her native country. In 1621 she walked across Europe to ask the Pope to allow her to set up schools for girls. “There is no such difference between men and women that women may not do great things,” she said. But Mary’s vision of equality between men and women angered the Church, and the pope threw her into prison. Her story is not only fascinating in its own right—it also shines a refreshingly new light on the Tudor/Stuart era. Mary’s uncles are the Gunpowder Plotters. Her sponsors are archdukes, prince-archbishops, and the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. In Rome she spars with Pope Urban VIII and the Roman Inquisition, just as they are also dealing with the troublemaker Galileo. As the story sweeps from Yorkshire to Rome, from Vienna and Munich to Prague, and back to England, we see Mary dodging pirates in the Channel, witch hunts in Germany, and the plague in Italy. We see travelers crossing the Alps, and prisoners smuggling out letters written in invisible lemon juice. Ranging from the resplendent courts in Brussels and Munich to the siege of York in the English Civil War, this biography is a remarkable portrait of seventeenth-century European life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Mary Ward, Vol. 2: 1585 1645 The long delay which has intervened between the publication of the first volume of this work, and the completion which is now offered to the reader, has been occasioned by a variety of causes, and has not been altogether unfruitful and without its advantages. It has enabled the writer to avail herself of some very interesting documents which have come to light in Rome and elsewhere since the first volume was finished. But I regret to say that it is quite clear that many more documents of importance must be in existence of which we are not yet possessors, and that a far longer delay would have been necessary, if it had been possible to wait for the full elucidation of many points of the history which must now be left in some obscurity. But it seems better to finish the work while it can be finished, than to postpone the remainder indefinitely. The archives at Rome are slow in yielding their treasures, and it is out of the power either of the Author or the Editor of these volumes to accelerate the process.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Mary Ward, Vol. 1: 1585-1645 See of St. Peter, that the religious traditions of the country should have been preserved in com munities of Englishmen and Englishwomen, even when it was necessary for this that the members of such communities should leave the land of their birth and become exiles under the ban of the law. What we owe to the intercession for England of so many of her own sons and daughters, whom her rulers considered and treated as convicts and traitors, will never be known until the last day. It is a ground for hope for the future, amid the many discouragements of the days in which we live, that Providence should in so many cases have given us back the beauties and glories of the religious life, not from foreign institutions or foun dations, but from the very communities of English birth which had kept up for us elsewhere those glories and beauties when they were proscribed at home.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A unique and inspirational Pride and Prejudice sequel that will resonate with all readers who can relate to Mary Bennet's determination to live according to God's wishes Written by a Franciscan nun, this is a sympathetic tale of the middle Bennet sister from Pride and Prejudice. Pious Mary Bennet tries to do her duty in the world as she thinks God envisions it. Initially believing (mistakenly) that her sister Elizabeth married well only in order to provide for her sisters, Mary is happy to be relieved of the obligation to marry at all so that she can continue her faithful works. But she begins to have second thoughts after further studying marriage through her sisters' experiences as well as spending time with two young men. One is a splendid young buck whose determined courtship must have ulterior motives; the other is a kindly, serious young clergyman whose friendship Mary values more and more. One day she realizes that God very much made man and woman to be together...but which is the man for her?

Download or read book Fanning the Spark written by Mary Ward Brown and published by University Alabama Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1986, after years of publishing stories in literary magazines and periodicals, Mary Ward Brown published her first book, the story collection Tongues of Flame. It soon received regional and national attention, and the following year won the PEN/Hemingway Award for fiction. Mary Ward Brown was sixty-nine years old. Though she would go on to write and publish many more stories and a well-received second collection, It Wasn’t All Dancing, Mary Ward Brown’s late acclaim hardly hints at the rich and varied life that prepared the way for her success. Fanning the Spark is the story of her life as a writer—her upbringing in rural Alabama; the joys of college, marriage, and motherhood; the sorrows of becoming a widow; and a lifelong devotion to writing, writers, and literature, and the company of those who shared those loves, nurturing and feeding her interior life in the face of many challenges, losses, and obstacles, both emotional and material. Here, in prose every bit as eloquent, evocative, and incisive as her stories, are her remembrances of loved ones; her letters fraught with worry to her son in Vietnam; periods of emotional isolation and unbidden silence; her invaluable friendships with renowned writers, editors, and agents; her love of community and place; and immeasurable delight with every award, speech, and public reading, the many recognitions she has garnered late in life. Above all, it is the story of the competing demands of art and of life, the constant struggle between her need to write and the practicalities of family, duty, and day to day living.
