Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is about young Bertha, a lazy dreamer whose two older sisters support her. The main character Bertha gets involved in a series of tasks, from rescuing a man from drowning to helping save a sick man on a train stuck in a snowstorm; from riding through the night to deliver food to a starving town, enduring a train derailment, to doing her best to find the owner of a quarter-million dollars' worth of diamonds—all of this while serving as a housekeeper and budding writer. Written by Bessie Merchant, the prolific English writer of adventure novels featuring young female heroines, this book is set in Victorian Canada. Youngest Sister: The - A Tale of Manitoba is the story of a girl who proves that she is as competent as her two older sisters by supporting her cousin on a farm in Manitoba. Like the typical Bessie Marchant heroine, Bertha is hesitant, unsure of herself, homesick, and scared, but she puts aside her feelings to do her duty and do the right thing.

Download or read book The New Girl written by Sally Mitchell and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1930s a band of smart and able young men, some still in their twenties, helped Franklin D. Roosevelt transform an American nation in crisis. They were the junior officers of the New Deal. Thomas G. Corcoran, Benjamin V. Cohen, William O. Douglas, Abe Fortas, and James Rowe helped FDR build the modern Democratic Party into a progressive coalition whose command over power and ideas during the next three decades seemed politically invincible. This is the first book about this group of Rooseveltians and their linkage to Lyndon Johnson's Great Society and the Vietnam War debacle. Michael Janeway grew up inside this world. His father, Eliot Janeway, business editor of Time and a star writer for Fortune and Life magazines, was part of this circle, strategizing and practicing politics as well as reporting on these men. Drawing on his intimate knowledge of events and previously unavailable private letters and other documents, Janeway crafts a riveting account of the exercise of power during the New Deal and its aftermath. He shows how these men were at the nexus of reform impulses at the electoral level with reform thinking in the social sciences and the law and explains how this potent fusion helped build the contemporary American state. Since that time efforts to reinvent government by "brains trust" have largely failed in the U.S. In the last quarter of the twentieth century American politics ceased to function as a blend of broad coalition building and reform agenda setting, rooted in a consensus of belief in the efficacy of modern government. Can a progressive coalition of ideas and power come together again? The Fall of the House of Roosevelt makes such a prospect both alluring and daunting.
Download or read book Juvenile Literature and British Society 1850 1950 written by Charles Ferrall and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-05-10 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this study, Charles Ferrall and Anna Jackson argue that the Victorians created a concept of adolescence that lasted into the twentieth century and yet is strikingly at odds with post-Second World War notions of adolescence as a period of "storm and stress." In the enormously popular "juvenile" literature of the period, primarily boys’ and girls’ own adventure and school stories, adolescence is acknowledged as a time of sexual awareness and yet also of a romantic idealism that is lost with marriage, a time when boys and girls acquire adult duties and responsibilities and yet have not had to assume the roles of breadwinner or household manager. The book reveals a concept of adolescence as significant as the Romantic cult of childhood that preceded it, which will be of interest to scholars of both children’s literature and Victorian culture.
