Download or read book Sex Class and Culture written by Lillian Robinson and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-08-11 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1986, Sex, Class and Culture is a collection of Marxist feminist essays that develops an original critical theory and applies it to literature, the visual arts, and mass media. Lillian Robinson was the first American critic to suggest the essential connections among sex, class, and race as forces that shape works of art and the critical response to them. In applying her theory to particular texts, she considers topics from the Renaissance epic to the Regency romance, from Jane Austen to contemporary feminist poets, and from factory workers’ memoirs to TV images of career women and housewives. The essays are insightful because Robinson clearly knows this wide assortment of texts, cares about their significance, and writes about them with wit. They are irreverent, because she asserts the feminist critic’s permanent responsibility to ask "So What?" and they are controversial because she constantly addresses that question to our most powerful and respectable institutions – social and literary. This book will be of interest to students of literature, history, gender studies and sexuality studies.

Download or read book Mr Darcy s Feigned Engagement written by Valerie Lennox and published by Punk Rawk Books. This book was released on with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Mr. Collins arrives at Longbourn before the Meryton Assembly, his intentions towards Elizabeth Bennet are quite clear, and she wants nothing to do with marrying that odious man. Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy is odious, too, of course. He’s a haughty man who has insulted her pride, but he is fending off his own unwanted romantic attentions in the form of a very determined Miss Caroline Bingley. So, when he proposes a mutually beneficial arrangement between himself and Elizabeth—pretending to be engaged in order to chase off their disagreeable prospective partners—she agrees. As part of the arrangement, Mr. Darcy claims he’ll help her find a real match and introduce her to a man who might truly align himself with someone of her status. When a man named Wickham arrives, claiming to be Mr. Darcy’s dear boyhood friend, she finds him positively perfect, exactly the sort of man she would want to marry. But, of course, Mr. Wickham isn’t at all what he seems. Dear reader, though this book has a number of light and amusing moments, the book also contains quite a bit of scandalous angst, disturbing revelations about characters’ pasts, and Mr. Wickham being, well, himself. Also, yes, after our dear couple marries, there are on-page lovemaking scenes of the detailed variety. Please be forewarned before reading.

Download or read book Completely and Utterly Mr Darcy s written by Valerie Lennox and published by Punk Rawk Books. This book was released on with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy barges half-dressed into the room where Miss Elizabeth Bennet is staying at Netherfield, apparently on the run from Miss Caroline Bingley’s attempt to engineer a compromise and trap him in a marriage, he claims to have compromised Elizabeth instead. Elizabeth is not pleased at this turn of events, considering that Mr. Darcy is the most arrogant and altogether worst man she has ever met. She’s particularly displeased at having her choices taken away and being obliged to become this man’s wife. Mr. Darcy’s ardent admiration of her is some consolation, however, and there is something to be said for the way he seems to be able to reduce her shivers with a look. They have a connection, something powerful, physical, and undeniable. If only Miss Bingley weren’t determined to work her revenge on the newlyweds, and if only Mr. Darcy’s past with a certain Mr. Wickham weren’t lurking in the shadows, ready to rear its ugly head. Dear reader, this is a quintessential Valerie Lennox JAFF—winking irreverence, a dollop of angst, and enough steam to choke on. It returns to some of my favorite tropes and situations (forced marriage, a scheming Caroline, a darker Mr. Darcy) and gives them a little bit of a different spin. I sincerely hope you enjoy!

This novel reveals Darcy’s passion and conviction but also his turmoil. Darcy knows that duty to family and estate demands he choose a woman of refined tastes. Yet, what his mind tells him to do and what his heart knows to be true tear him in opposite directions. He loves a woman he first denies for being unworthy, but it is he who is found wanting when Elizabeth Bennet refuses his proposal of marriage. Devastated, Darcy must search his soul and transform himself into the man she can love and respect.
