Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Marriage of Cecilia TO persons of a certain soft and sentimental temper ament Cecilia's temperament - the meanest hovel may seem a palace if Shared with. The right sort of people. She shared her red brick villa with her half brother John and his wife Emmeline, and often felt that a hovel to herself would have seemed a palace in comparison. Not that she actively disliked John; he was her brother after all, and Cecilia had not a nature capable Of disliking her own brother; and for Emmeline, the fact that she was John's wife precluded every other sentiment but pity. But in this frigid zone of tolera tion her feelings remained obstinately bound. The most painstaking effort could not bring them into the more genial circle of the affections or within sight of that line where love is born.

Download or read book Cecilia Vol 1 written by Frances Burney and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-21 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cecilia, Vol. 1: Or Memoirs of an Heiress These words of Mr. Crisp, the fatherlike friend of Miss Burney, bear true witness to the joyous and spontaneous impulse which produced 'evelina.' That novel has a girlish, artless story. The only contrivance in it, - that of a letter going astray, - is almost clumsy; and the incidents of a deserted wife, a disowned marriage, and a change of babies by a nurse, must have been nearly as well-worn in 1778, as a fever, a raving scene, and an absence in the West Indies on the part of a husband, or a father, when he was most needed at home, were to become in the fifty years following. Evelina' has an affecting situation, which stands in stead of a good plot. Cecilia has both an elaborate plot, and a striking situation. The stage-word, situation, is not inapt for use towards a book composed so much after the manner of the theatre that Mrs. Siddons told Miss Burney there was no part which she had ever so much wished to act as that of Cecilia.'

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Princess Cecilia And even today, when the nobility at least has taken on Western civilization overnight, when Ambok's great men wear American clothes and read the New York papers, and send their sons to college at Cambridge or New Haven or Berkeley, these palaces remain as always silent and grim and Oriental, wherein nothing has changed since the days of Haroun al Raschid. Though the city of Ambok boasts of three daily newspapers, though Eng lisb is the business and official language, men still exclaim in times of stress and excitement that there is no deity but God, and that Mohammed is his prophet; and, though on the downtown business streets you may see the estab lishments of American tailors, American druggists and modistes and beauty doctors, yet behind the spiked walls of palace gardens and the lattices of harems, eunuchs rule and women are kidnapped and offenders are tortured after the immemorial fashion of the East.

Download or read book Frances Burney s Cecilia written by Catherine M. Parisian and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-15 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In her exhaustive publishing history of Frances Burney's Cecilia, Or Memoirs of an Heiress, Catherine Parisian mines an extensive archival record that includes portions of the original manuscript, annotated page proofs, legal records relative to its copyright, and an abundance of letters, to chronicle the novel's composition, printing, and publication from its first edition in 1782 to the present-day Oxford World's Classics paperback. Generally regarded on its publication as the most important novel since Tobias Smollett's Humphrey Clinker, Cecilia is a deft blend of the satire of Henry Fielding with the sentimentality of Samuel Richardson that brings a female perspective to the novel while perceptively probing class and gender relations in eighteenth-century British society. Parisian combines the methods of the book historian with those of the bibliographer to show how the two usefully inform one another and bear on the interpretation of the literary text. Examining 51 different editions of Cecilia, Parisian considers what these editions reveal about Cecilia's reading audiences and what insights these books provide into the printing and publishing trends of the past 200 years. Lavishly illustrated and accessibly written, her timely history demonstrates the importance of Cecilia to the art of the novel and the history of the book.
Download or read book Faulks on Fiction Includes 4 FREE Vintage Classics Great British Characters and the Secret Life of the Novel written by Sebastian Faulks and published by Random House. This book was released on 2011-01-27 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The publication of Robinson Crusoe in London in 1719 marked the arrival of a revolutionary art form: the novel. British writers were prominent in shaping the new type of storytelling - one which reflected the experiences of ordinary people, with characters in whom readers could find not only an escape, but a deeper understanding of their own lives. But the novel was more than just a reflection of British life. As Sebastian Faulks explains in this engaging literary and social history, it also helped invent the British. By focusing not on writers but on the people they gave us, Faulks not only celebrates the recently neglected act of novelistic creation but shows how the most enduring fictional characters over the centuries have helped map the British psyche - through heroes from Tom Jones to Sherlock Holmes, lovers from Mr Darcy to Lady Chatterley, villains from Fagin to Barbara Covett and snobs from Emma Woodhouse to James Bond. Also included in this fantastic ebook package are four free classic novels: Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe: The legendary story of a marine adventurer shipwrecked on a desert island. Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen: Accomplished Elizabeth Bennett must navigate a web of familial obligations and social expectations in this witty drama of friendship, rivalry, enmity and love. Great Expectations by Charles Dickens: Pip's life as an ordinary country boy is destined to be unexceptional until a chain of mysterious events lead him away from his humble origins and up the social ladder. The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins: Marian and her sister Laura live a quiet life under their uncle's guardianship until Laura marries Sir Percival Glyde, a man of many secrets. Can she be protected from a mysterious and potentially fatal plot?
