Download or read book The Fortunes Of Perkin Warbeck written by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley and published by Jazzybee Verlag. This book was released on 2015 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this novel, Mrs. Shelley sets out with the somewhat startling statement of her firm belief that Perkin Warbeck was in reality the lost Duke of York. She is of opinion, that it is impossible for anyone to examine the records in the Tower without arriving at the same conclusion; and sometimes even in the course of the story, we think she overlooks the resemblance of the romance in her eagerness to impress upon the reader her own peculiar view of the historical fact. The various adventures of the unfortunate Perkin, (or the young Prince, as she will have it,) from his escape out of the Tower in childhood to the termination of his career upon the scaffold, form the subject-matter of the work. The characters are skilfully portrayed, and well contrasted with each other, while the descriptions are full, clear, and powerful. Throughout, indeed, the book is written with great energy, both of thought and expression, as well as with all that feminine delicacy of feeling and perception which throws such a peculiar charm over the actions penned by an accomplished woman.

Download or read book The Fortunes of Perkin Warbeck written by Mary Mary Shelley and published by . This book was released on 2021-01-29 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historically speaking, critics have been perplexed by Mary Shelley's fifth novel, The Fortunes of Perkin Warbeck, A Romance (1830). Certainly, enough ink reproaches Perkin Warbeck 's heavy-handedness as a historical romance. To this end, an 1830 review for the Edinburgh Literary Journal notes the novel's "chief fault" as a failure to "blend together with sufficient skill what is fictitious and what is true" (350). Displaying a similar spirit of indulgence, the New Monthly Magazine and Literary Journal states that the book's womanliness--its "peculiar charm" and "feminine delicacy of feeling"--redeems its author's amateurish lapses: her tendency to "overlook the vraisemblance of the romance" and her "eagerness to impress upon readers her own peculiar view of the historical fact" (457). Largely positive, these reviews nonetheless reflect the gendered assumptions that have shaded Perkin Warbeck 's reception by almost two centuries of academics. Routinely passed over in surveys of Shelley's fiction or quickly abbreviated to evidence of what happens when a literary author writes for profit, Perkin Warbeck boasts few admirers. In 1953 Elizabeth Nitchie named Perkin Warbeck the "least alive and least interesting of [Shelley's] works" (168). Further, according to Nitchie, the novel tries too hard and succeeds too well at imitating dry historiography; it would have been a better novel, she implies, had Shelley contained herself to the feminine space of pure invention. Writing twenty years later, William Walling and Safaa El-Shater agree; they judge it an "essentially lifeless novel" that "deserves the oblivion to which it has sunk" (Walling 102; El-Shater 124-125). To the extent that these prejudices continue within Shelley studies, since 1970 Perkin Warbeck has been the primary subject of less than a dozen fully developed critical discussions. Though few in number, however, the researches of scholars amply demonstrate the ways in which Perkin Warbeck defies reduction to a common catalogue of literary crimes and deserves attention as a sophisticated convergence of literary and political discourses.
Download or read book The New Annotated Frankenstein The Annotated Books written by Mary Shelley and published by Liveright Publishing. This book was released on 2017-08-08 with total page 772 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two centuries after its original publication, Mary Shelley’s classic tale of gothic horror comes to vivid life in "what may very well be the best presentation of the novel" to date (Guillermo del Toro). "Remarkably, a nineteen-year-old, writing her first novel, penned a tale that combines tragedy, morality, social commentary, and a thoughtful examination of the very nature of knowledge," writes best-selling author Leslie S. Klinger in his foreword to The New Annotated Frankenstein. Despite its undeniable status as one of the most influential works of fiction ever written, Mary Shelley’s novel is often reductively dismissed as the wellspring for tacky monster films or as a cautionary tale about experimental science gone haywire. Now, two centuries after the first publication of Frankenstein, Klinger revives Shelley’s gothic masterpiece by reproducing her original text with the most lavishly illustrated and comprehensively annotated edition to date. Featuring over 200 illustrations and nearly 1,000 annotations, this sumptuous volume recaptures Shelley’s early nineteenth-century world with historical precision and imaginative breadth, tracing the social and political roots of the author’s revolutionary brand of Romanticism. Braiding together decades of scholarship with his own keen insights, Klinger recounts Frankenstein’s indelible contributions to the realms of science fiction, feminist theory, and modern intellectual history—not to mention film history and popular culture. The result of Klinger’s exhaustive research is a multifaceted portrait of one of Western literature’s most divinely gifted prodigies, a young novelist who defied her era’s restrictions on female ambitions by independently supporting herself and her children as a writer and editor. Born in a world of men in the midst of a political and an emerging industrial revolution, Shelley crafted a horror story that, beyond its incisive commentary on her own milieu, is widely recognized as the first work of science fiction. The daughter of a pioneering feminist and an Enlightenment philosopher, Shelley lived and wrote at the center of British Romanticism, the “exuberant, young movement” that rebelled against tradition and reason and "with a rebellious scream gave birth to a world of gods and monsters" (del Toro). Following his best-selling The New Annotated H. P. Lovecraft and The New Annotated Sherlock Holmes, Klinger not only considers Shelley’s original 1818 text but, for the first time in any annotated volume, traces the effects of her significant revisions in the 1823 and 1831 editions. With an afterword by renowned literary scholar Anne K. Mellor, The New Annotated Frankenstein celebrates the prescient genius and undying legacy of the world’s "first truly modern myth." The New Annotated Frankenstein includes: Nearly 1,000 notes that provide information and historical context on every aspect of Frankenstein and of Mary Shelley’s life Over 200 illustrations, including original artwork from the 1831 edition and dozens of photographs of real-world locations that appear in the novel Extensive listings of films and theatrical adaptations An introduction by Guillermo del Toro and an afterword by Anne K. Mellor

Download or read book Ulysses Annotated written by James Joyce and published by BookRix. This book was released on 2014-06-02 with total page 1143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ulysses (1922) is a novel by the Irish author James Joyce. It was first serialised in parts in the American journal The Little Review from March 1918 to December 1920, and then published in its entirety by Sylvia Beach on 2 February 1922, in Paris. Joyce's technical innovations in the art of the novel... he used a complex network of symbolic parallels drawn from the mythology, history, and literature, and created a unique language of invented words, puns, and allusions. One of the most important works of Modernist literature, it has been called "a demonstration and summation of the entire movement". "Before Joyce, no writer of fiction had so foregrounded the process of thinking." Written over a seven-year period from 1914 to 1921. No book has ever been more eagerly and curiously awaited by the strange little inner circle of book-lovers and littérateurs than James Joyce's "Ulysses".
