Excerpt: ...lost in town: No man is he for concerts, balls, or routs! No game he knows at cards, save rare Pope Joan! He ne'er could master dance beyond a jig; And as for music, nothing to compare To the melodious yelping of a hound, Except the braying of his huntsman's horn! Sheridan Knmiir. BUT sudden at my feet looked up A little star-like thing, Pure odour in pure perfect cup, That made my bosom sing. 'Twas not for size, nor gorgeous dyes, But her own self I ween, Her own sweet self, that made me stoop And take her for my Queen of Love, And take her for my Queen. ralgrave. July 26th. July 29th. July 30th. July 31st. Cheek up, my noble friend; all will go well; For friendship is no plant of hasty growth. Though rooted in esteem's deep soil, the slow And gradual culture of kind intercourse Must bring it to perfection. Joanna Faillie. I hAVE loved with right good will, Mourned my hopes departed, Dreamed my golden dream, and still Am not broken-hearted. August 1st. OULD we forbear dispute and practise love, We should agree as angels do above, Where love presides: not vice alone does find No entrance there, but virtues stay behind: Both faith and hope, and all the meaner train Of moral virtues at the door remain. Love only enters, as a native there; For, born in heav'n, it does but sojourn here. Edmund Waller. Love lightens every doom, Love brightens every gloom, Love cheers us to the tomb-Death's self will spare it. J. F. Waller. August 2nd. I do abominate to dance! Could carve Fiddlers and company! A dancing man To me was ever like a dancing dog! Sheridan Knowles. Some clothe bare Truth in fine garments of words, Fetter her free limbs with cumbersome state: With me, let me sit at the lordliest boards, "I love" means "I...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Award-winning illustrator Duncan Tonatiuh brings to life debut author Gloria Amescua's lyrical biography of an indigenous Nahua woman from Mexico who taught and preserved her people's culture through modeling for famous artists She was Luz Jiménez, child of the flower-song people, the powerful Aztec, who called themselves Nahua— who lost their land but who did not disappear. As a young Nahua girl in Mexico during the early 1900s, Luz learned how to grind corn in a metate, to twist yarn with her toes, and to weave on a loom. By the fire at night, she listened to stories of her community’s joys, suffering, and survival, and wove them into her heart. But when the Mexican Revolution came to her village, Luz and her family were forced to flee and start a new life. In Mexico City, Luz became a model for painters, sculptors, and photographers such as Diego Rivera, Jean Charlot, and Tina Modotti. These artists were interested in showing the true face of Mexico and not a European version. Through her work, Luz found a way to preserve her people's culture by sharing her native language, stories, and traditions. Soon, scholars came to learn from her. This moving, beautifully illustrated biography tells the remarkable story of how model and teacher Luz Jiménez became “the soul of Mexico”—a living link between the indigenous Nahua and the rest of the world. Through her deep pride in her roots and her unshakeable spirit, the world came to recognize the beauty and strength of her people. The book includes an author’s note, timeline, glossary, and bibliography.

Download or read book Women Writers and the Artifacts of Celebrity in the Long Nineteenth Century written by Maura Ives and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-05 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1788, the Catalogue of Five Hundred Celebrated Authors of Great Britain, Now Living forecast a form of authorship that rested on biographical revelation and media saturation as well as literary achievement. This collection traces the unique experiences of women writers within a celebrity culture that was intimately connected to the expansion of print technology and of visual and material culture in the nineteenth century. The contributors examine a wide range of artifacts, including prefaces, portraits, frontispieces, birthday books, calendars and gossip columns, to consider the nature of women's celebrity and the forces that created it. How did authors like Jane Austen, the Countess of Blessington, Louisa May Alcott, Alice Meynell, and Marie Corelli negotiate the increasing demands for public revelation of the private self? How did gender shape the posthumous participation of women writers such as Jane Austen, Ellen Wood, Mary Elizabeth Braddon and Christina Rossetti in celebrity culture? These and other important questions related to the treatment of women in celebrity genres and media, and the strategies women writers used to control their public images, are taken up in this suggestive exploration of how nineteenth and early twentieth century women writers achieved popular, critical, and commercial success.
