Book excerpt: Enjoy this twisted fairytale reverse harem paranormal romance novel by best-selling author Charmaine Ross… I had to wonder about my sanity when I was coerced to try out for a reality TV show called “If the Shoe Fits.” That should have been my first warning. My second warning should have been when I was the only girl whose foot actually fit the shoe amongst all of the stunning beauties. There wasn’t a third warning. Just my friend’s glee when she tapped me on the head with a magic wand and I was transported into a fairy tale castle and came face to face with three of the most handsome men on which I’d ever laid eyes. You might think that would be a fairy tale come true for a down-and-out waitress like me. But you’d think wrong, because as soon as I was introduced to the Queen, she accused me of high treason. My Princes broke me out of the castle and now we’re on the run, hunted by the Queen’s guards and horrifying magical abominations. They told me I was the only one strong enough to bring magic back to their dying kingdom, but I can’t even light a candle. They told me I was their Fated Mate, but I don’t feel any bond. They told me they were all mine, but how could three stunning men want me? And now, my Princes have been taken.

Download or read book Oral Traditions and Gender in Early Modern Literary Texts written by Mary Ellen Lamb and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-28 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Proposing a fresh approach to scholarship on the topic, this volume explores the cultural meanings, especially the gendered meanings, of material associated with oral traditions. The collection is divided into three sections. Part One investigates the evocations of the 'old nurse' as storyteller so prominent in early modern fictions. The essays in Part Two investigate women's fashioning of oral traditions to serve their own purposes. The third section disturbs the exclusive associations between the feminine and oral traditions to discover implications for masculinity, as well. Contributors explore the plays of Shakespeare and writings of Spenser, Sidney, Wroth and the Cavendishes, as well as works by less well known or even unknown authors. Framed by an introduction by Mary Ellen Lamb and an afterword by Pamela Allen Brown, these essays make several important interventions in scholarship in the field. They demonstrate the continuing cultural importance of an oral tradition of tales and ballads, even if sometimes circulated in manuscript and printed forms. Rather than in its mode of transmission, contributors posit that the continuing significance of this oral tradition lies instead in the mode of consumption (the immediacy of the interaction of the participants). Oral Traditions and Gender in Early Modern Literary Texts confirms the power of oral traditions to shape and also to unsettle concepts of the masculine as well as of the feminine. This collection usefully complicates any easy assumptions about associations of oral traditions with gender.
