Download or read book The Sentimental Blonde written by Elle Croxford and published by ISEEC Pty Ltd. This book was released on 2024-08-08 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inspired by real people and based on true events, THE SENTIMENTAL BLONDE is an enduring love story between Lottie Lyell & Raymond Longford. Lottie is Australia's first movie star, writer, stunt woman, director, lover, rule breaker and trailblazer who was tested again and again; and yet, stayed true to herself. In it, we rediscover the magic of pioneer moviemaking with Lottie and Raymond's struggle producing The Sentimental Bloke while keeping their forbidden love affair and her life-threatening illness secret. Lottie faces her own challenges in the male-dominated movie business and questions her own complicated work-life relationship with Raymond (& his wife who refuses to grant him a divorce). The only thing Lottie couldn't conquer was time.
Download or read book The Sentimental Mode written by Jennifer A. Williamson and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-02-28 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of new essay examines how authors of the 20th and 21st centuries continue the use of sentimental forms and tropes of 19th century literature. Current literary and cultural critical consensus seems to maintain that Americans engaged in a turn-of-the-century refutation of the sentimental mode; an analysis of 20th and 21st century narratives, however, reveals an ongoing use of sentimental expression that draws upon its ability to instruct and influence readers through their emotions. While these later narratives employ aspects of the sentimental mode, many of them also engage in a critique of the failures of the sentimental, deconstructing 19th century perspectives on race, class and gender and the ways they are promoted by sentimental ideals.

Download or read book On Blondes written by Joanna Pitman and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2008-12-18 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Fascinating ...Pitman skillfully navigates the complicated history of our addiction to fair hair, skipping through the centuries with an elegant touch' Independent 'Riveting ... provocative ... ON BLONDES is ultimately a study of power-and powerlessness-between the sexes ... travelling undercover, this brunette produced a book which, like its subject, is wonderfully enlightening' Telegraph In art and literature, in history and popular culture, blonde has never been a mere colour. For 2,500 years, it has been a blazing signal and around this obsession entire industries have developed, influential trends set. From Greek prostitutes mimicking the golden-haired Aphrodite, to the Californian beach babe; from pigeon-dung and saffron dyes to L'Oreal - because you're worth it - we see the lengths to which women will go to become blonde. The power and duality of the blonde as either erotic symbol or saintly virgin waxes and wanes but never disappears. Weaving a story rich in anecdote, history and high intrigue, Joanna Pitman effortlessly combines the wealth of her knowledge with a sharp and clear-sighted view of the power of the blonde throughout the ages.
