Download or read book Anne Bradstreet written by D.B. Kellogg and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2010-08-16 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christian Encounters, a series of biographies from Thomas Nelson Publishers, highlights important lives from all ages and areas of the Church. Some are familiar faces. Others are unexpected guests. But all, through their relationships, struggles, prayers, and desires, uniquely illuminate our shared experience When she arrived in the New World at eighteen, Anne Bradstreet was a reluctant passenger: her old, comfortable lifestyle in England was quickly dashed against the rocks of the Massachusetts Bay. While the wilderness of America and the drama of establishing the Massachusetts Bay Colony at times overwhelmed her, she always took refuge in the belief that it was God’s plan. Anne respected the Puritan teachings and followed them her entire life, always searching for God’s hand in everything around her. But she also was inspired by a strong female leader of the day, Queen Elizabeth, and this influence taught Anne to push herself beyond the day’s limitations. She managed her home, educated her children, encouraged her husband, and sought her Lord—all with a poet’s heart.

Download or read book Prudence Crandall s Legacy written by Donald E. Williams and published by Wesleyan University Press. This book was released on 2014-06-03 with total page 495 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The “compelling and lively” story of a pioneering abolitionist schoolteacher and her far-reaching influence on civil rights and American law (Richard S. Newman, author of Freedom’s Prophet). When Prudence Crandall, a Canterbury, Connecticut schoolteacher, accepted a black woman as a student, she unleashed a storm of controversy that catapulted her to national notoriety, and drew the attention of the most significant pro- and anti-slavery activists of the early nineteenth century. The Connecticut state legislature passed its infamous Black Law in an attempt to close down her school. Crandall was arrested and jailed—but her legal legacy had a lasting impact. Crandall v. State was the first full-throated civil rights case in U.S. history. The arguments by attorneys in Crandall played a role in two of the most fateful Supreme Court decisions, Dred Scott v. Sandford, and the landmark case of Brown v. Board of Education. In this book, author and lawyer Donald E. Williams Jr. marshals a wealth of detail concerning the life and work of Prudence Crandall, her unique role in the fight for civil rights, and her influence on legal arguments for equality in America that, in the words of Brown v. Board attorney Jack Greenberg, “serves to remind us once more about how close in time America is to the darkest days of our history.” “The book offers substantive and well-rounded portraits of abolitionists, colonizationists, and opponents of black equality―portraits that really dig beneath the surface to explain the individuals’ motivations, weaknesses, politics, and life paths.” ―The New England Quarterly “Taking readers from Connecticut schoolrooms to the highest court in the land, [Williams] gives us heroes and villains, triumph and tragedy, equity and injustice on the rough road to full freedom.” —Richard S. Newman, author of Freedom’s Prophet

Download or read book A Reference Guide to English American and Canadian Literature written by Inglis Freeman Bell and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 1971 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To anyone who has crossed the Canadian prairies, the title of thisbook, Vertical Man/Horizontal World, will strike a responsive chord --man stands alone in seemingly limitless landscape "as empty asnightmare". The stark isolation of man against the prairie's landscape is"so obvious" the author says, "that except for passingcomments [in two studies of Canadian prairie fiction] no one has made asustained analysis of the use of the prairie in Canadian fiction, orargued at any length for what most immediately unifies the literatureof the prairie region." Author Ricou argues that man is intimidated by the vastness which sosurrounds him, and "he will almost certainly wish to meet thechallenge of this land, to say 'Look, look!' in whatever way hecan, by raising a crop or a monument, by interpreting his experience inpaint or words." Ricou traces this recurrent theme in prairie fiction from writerssuch as Frederick Philip Grove and Wallce Stegner, Edward McCourt andW.O. Mitchell, to Margaret Laurence and Robert Kroetsch. In tracing the relationship of man and land from the earliestwriters of prairie fiction to the most recent, Ricou shows how the calmand benign relationship of man and land as exemplified, for instance,in the fiction of Robert Stead and W.O. Mitchell has changed in recentnovels to a more dramatic confrontation. "[The novelists] find in[the landscape] an ideal mirror for the dilemma (and often thestrength) of existential man." Critic Henry Keisel once wrote: "To conquer a piece of thecontinent, to put one's imprint upon virgin land, to say 'HereI am, for that I came", is as much a way of proving one'sexistence, as is Descartes' "cogito, ergo sum."Vertical Man/Horizontal World is an affirmation ofKreisel's statement. Slowly and cumulatively Ricou traces the imageof man leaving his mark on the empty, sometimes nightmarish land of theCanadian prairie. "How do we fit our time and our place?" isa question posed by all the writers Ricou examines. "Theanswer," he says, "at this point in the evolution of Canadianprairie fiction, delivered with conviction . . . is: abruptly anduneasily, but brazenly and delightedly." This book is a sustained and penetrating look at theinterrelationship of man and landscape in Canadian prairie fiction.
