Download or read book Twice upon a Time written by Elizabeth Wanning Harries and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2018-06-05 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fairy tales, often said to be ''timeless'' and fundamentally ''oral,'' have a long written history. However, argues Elizabeth Wanning Harries in this provocative book, a vital part of this history has fallen by the wayside. The short, subtly didactic fairy tales of Charles Perrault and the Grimms have determined our notions about what fairy tales should be like. Harries argues that alongside these ''compact'' tales there exists another, ''complex'' tradition: tales written in France by the conteuses (storytelling women) in the 1690s and the late-twentieth-century tales by women writers that derive in part from this centuries-old tradition. Grounded firmly in social history and set in lucid prose, Twice upon a Time refocuses the lens through which we look at fairy tales. The conteuses saw their tales as amusements for sophisticated adults in the salon, not for children. Self-referential, frequently parodic, and set in elaborate frames, their works often criticize the social expectations that determined the lives of women at the court of Louis XIV. After examining the evolution of the ''Anglo-American'' fairy tale and its place in this variegated history, Harries devotes the rest of her book to recent women writers--A. S. Byatt, Anne Sexton, Angela Carter, and Emma Donoghue among them--who have returned to fairy-tale motifs so as to challenge modern-day gender expectations. Late-twentieth-century tales, like the conteuses', force us to rethink our conception of fairy tales and of their history.

Download or read book Twice Upon a Time written by Lucinda Saxton and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2020-11-30 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inspired by true events, Twice upon a Time begins during the aftermath of the trail of tears when our government treated honorable people as viruses to be exterminated. In this instance, Cherokee Native Americans: they had followed laws, they had their own alphabet, they had a government so compelling it was copied by the interlopers. Ms. Saxton describes struggles and love stories handed down by fragments and educated guess involving two of her ancestors, stunning Winter Flower and gorgeous John John. Of the two, only John John is accounted for in the published first census of new arrivals in Oklahoma in 1839 “Cherokee Roots” (Western Rolls). The true events within may act as a bridge between the quelling white man and victimized people of color as Saxton also shines a lamp onto formerly rarely-published facts of Martin Luther King’s 1960’s movement. Overcoming injustice, with God’s glorious guidance, brings the reader to new heights of resolution and inspiration.

Book excerpt: In between agony and ecstasy, between tragedy and comedy, unfolds this drama we call life. On the verge of adolescence, Daniel Abrams moves with his family to Los Angeles from the majestic mountains of Montana, where he had place, where he could, and often did, enter the realm of the gods through nature, a time always bright and delightful. Although miserable at first young Daniel begins to find place and feel at home after he meets Crystine Mercado, born in LA, and growing up right along with the big city. Neither can deny it is love at first sight, and together they enter a realm of love that few ever do. But they have their souls, by now entwined, wrenched asunder when his family moves back to Montana. Daniel notices from that point forward a mysterious and recurring thread being woven in the tapestry of his life that cannot be ignored, and he can't help but wonder if there isn't a purpose behind the strange and sometime bizarre events, for he discovers in Vietnam that in the realm of the gods there is also a dark and foreboding place. But he knows that to find the answers to his questions, he must somehow find Crystine, even if it takes a lifetime. Join Daniel as life sets him on a spiritual journey by first lifting him to the mountain top, then dropping him into a deep valley. And then, sometimes with gentle certainty, sometimes with agonizing painfulness, life lifts him out and sets him to sail an unknown ocean until he lands on a deserted island where he makes the discovery of who he truly is.
