Download or read book Lady Mary Shepherd written by Deborah Boyle and published by Andrews UK Limited. This book was released on 2019-01-09 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The philosophical writings of Lady Mary Shepherd (1777-1847) reveal an astute and lively intellect. In An Essay upon the Relation of Cause and Effect (1824) and Essays on the Perception of an External Universe, and Other Subjects Connected with the Doctrine of Causation (1827), Shepherd engaged critically with the views of Hume, Berkeley, Reid, Stewart, de Condillac, and others, but she also presented an original and carefully argued philosophical system of her own. Highly regarded in her day, Shepherd's work faded into obscurity after her death; this collection of selections from her writings is intended to bring her work back into focus for students and scholars. Selections include her writings about causation, knowledge of the external world, mathematical and physical induction, belief in miracles and God, and mind and body. This volume also includes an 1828 essay Shepherd published on vision.

Download or read book The Lady in the Van written by Alan Bennett and published by Faber & Faber. This book was released on 2015-10-21 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Film tie in edition of Alan Bennett's classic memoir. For fifteen years, the recalcitrant Miss Shepherd lived in her broken-down van on Alan Bennett's driveway in Camden. Deeply eccentric and stubborn to her bones, Miss Shepherd was not an easy tenant. Bennett, despite inviting her in the first place, was a reluctant landlord, never under the illusion that his impulse was purely charitable. This account of those years was first published in 1989 in the London Review of Books. The play premiered in 1999, direct by Nicholas Hytner and starring Dame Maggie Smith, who reprise those roles in this new film adaptation. Shot on location at Bennett's house, Alex Jennings plays the author, alongside household names including James Corden, Frances de la Tour, Jim Broadbent and Dominic Cooper.

Download or read book SIR GIBBIE DONAL GRANT The Baronet s Song and The Shepherd s Castle Adventure Classic written by George MacDonald and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2024-01-09 with total page 834 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: George MacDonald's 'Sir Gibbie & Donal Grant: The Baronet's Song and The Shepherd's Castle' is a captivating adventure classic that follows the intertwined tales of Sir Gibbie, a kind-hearted and heroic young man, and Donal Grant, a reformed criminal seeking redemption. MacDonald's literary style is characterized by vivid descriptions, moral allegory, and elements of fantasy, making this book a compelling and thought-provoking read. Set against the backdrop of 19th-century Scotland, the story explores themes of courage, sacrifice, and the transformative power of compassion. Readers will find themselves swept away by the timeless tale of friendship and redemption, as Sir Gibbie and Donal Grant navigate through trials and triumphs in their quest for self-discovery and purpose. George MacDonald, a Scottish author and minister, drew inspiration for 'Sir Gibbie & Donal Grant' from his own Christian beliefs and his observations of human nature. His deep understanding of morality and spirituality shines through in the moral dilemmas faced by the characters, adding depth and emotional resonance to the narrative. MacDonald's ability to blend adventure with profound philosophical insights sets this novel apart as a timeless masterpiece that continues to resonate with readers of all ages. I highly recommend this book to those who appreciate rich storytelling, moral complexity, and the triumph of the human spirit.
Download or read book The Baronet s Song The Shepherd s Castle written by George MacDonald and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2022-11-13 with total page 835 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Sir Gibbie"- The novel follows Sir Gibbie on his adventures through the moors of Scotland's Highlands. Having no mother and an alcoholic father, Gibbie must survive on the streets as a child unable to read or speak. It is notable for its Doric dialogue, but has been criticized, especially by members of the Scottish Renaissance, for being part of the kailyard movement. Despite this, there are far more who claim the book paints a fair view of urban as well as rural life. The book doesn't seem to dwell as long on physical geography as it does on the spiritual geography of the soul. "Donal Grant" is the sequel to Sir Gibbie and it follows the steps of Gibbie's friend Donald as he tries to find a place for himself in the world. He manages to become a tutor to the son of an Earl. During his service he solves the mystery of the castle's lost room and, in the meanwhile, gets the interest of the earl's niece, who finds himself a special kind of person. George MacDonald (1824-1905) was a Scottish author, poet, and Christian minister. He was a pioneering figure in the field of fantasy literature and the mentor of fellow writer Lewis Carroll. His writings have been cited as a major literary influence by many notable authors including W. H. Auden, C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, Walter de la Mare, E. Nesbit and Madeleine L'Engle. G. K. Chesterton cited The Princess and the Goblin as a book that had "made a difference to my whole existence". MacDonald has been credited with founding the "kailyard school" of Scottish writing.

Download or read book Female Characters in Fragmentary Greek Tragedy written by P. J. Finglass and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-07-02 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How were women represented in Greek tragedy? This question lies at the heart of much modern scholarship on ancient drama, yet it has typically been approached using evidence drawn only from the thirty-two tragedies that survive complete - neglecting tragic fragments, especially those recently discovered and often very substantial fragmentary papyri from plays that had been thought lost. Drawing on the latest research on both gender in tragedy and on tragic fragments, the essays in this volume examine this question from a fresh perspective, shedding light on important mythological characters such as Pasiphae, Hypsipyle, and Europa, on themes such as violence, sisterhood, vengeance, and sex, and on the methodology of a discipline which needs to take fragmentary evidence to heart in order to gain a fuller understanding of ancient tragedy. All Greek is translated to ensure wide accessibility.
