Download or read book The Cult of Saint Catherine of Siena written by Gerald Parsons and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-03-02 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the origins, development and history of the cult of Saint Catherine of Siena. Gerald Parsons argues that the cult of Catherine of Siena constitutes a remarkable example of the cult of a particular saint which, across more than six centuries, has been the vehicle for an evolving sequence of civil religious rituals and meanings. He shows how the cult of this particular saint developed, firstly, as an expression of Sienese civil religion; secondly, as a focus for Italian civil religion; and finally into an expression of European civil religion. Instead of the predominantly devotional - and frequently essentially hagiographical - approach of much of the literature on Catherine of Siena, Parsons examines the significance of her cult from the perspective of civil religion and the social history of religion.

Book excerpt: On the Run is a collection of personal essays that portray the life of Catherine Doucette, a backcountry skier, horseback rider, and mountainee--roles that have resulted in adventures where she is often the only woman in a group of men. Starting from a young age, Doucette found herself pushing through the wilderness with her brothers, friends, and partners. Through hours spent outside, she gained the skill and judgement to tackle progressively bigger objectives and turned into an accomplished outdoorswoman. This collection touches on her native state of New Hampshire but simultaneously focuses on the lure of big mountains in the West. For over a decade, she chased winter around the world to ski but always with an eye to living a more settled life, to putting her heart on the line if someone would just ask her to. Like other women who choose or yearn to be in the wilderness, she wrestles with reconciling her outdoor ambitions with society's expectations. On the Run will resonate with anyone who has searched to define home and belonging. It will appeal especially to women. Readers called by the West, by mountains, or by movement will feel at home in these pages. On the Run celebrates the comfort, challenge, and community found in the expanses of the wilderness while confronting the limitations and sacrifices of a transient, outdoor lifestyle.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Britain's most widely read author of the late twentieth century, Catherine Cookson published more than 100 books, including The Fifteen Streets, The Black Velvet Gown, and Katie Mulhollond. Set in England's industrial northeast, her novels depict the social, economic, and emotional hardships of that area. In the first essay collection devoted to Cookson, the contributors examine what Cookson's memoirs and historical fiction mean to readers, including how her fans contribute to her position in the cultural imaginary; constructions of gender, class, and English and Irish identity in her work; the importance of place in her novels; Cookson's place in the heritage industry; and television adaptations of Cookson's works. Cookson's work tackled topics that were still taboo in the early post-World War II era, such as domestic abuse, rape, and incest. This collection places Cookson in historical context and shows how skillful she was at pushing generic boundaries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the author of The Romanovs: a vivid account of history's most successful political partnership—as sensual and fiery as it was creative and visionary. Catherine the Great was a woman of notorious passion and imperial ambition. Prince Potemkin—wildly flamboyant and sublimely talented—was the love of her life and her co-ruler. Together they seized Ukraine and Crimea, territories that define the Russian sphere of influence to this day. Their affair was so tumultuous that they negotiated an arrangement to share power, leaving each of them free to take younger lovers. But these “twin souls” never stopped loving each other. Drawing on the pair’s intimate letters and on vast research, Simon Sebag Montefiore's widely acclaimed biography restores these imperial partners to their rightful place as titans of their age.

However, Catherine Booth's life and work has since been largely neglected. This neglect has extended to her theological ideas, even though they were critical to the formation of Salvationism, the spirituality of the movement she cofounded.
