Book excerpt: Prudish England will never allow a diagnosis of the state of its diseased morals and hidden ulcers in its social life to be made. Jesus did not teach Monasticism but the law of Continence. For morality to exist between men and women, they must follow the law of Chastity. “Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth.” Moral continence and chastity are mistaken for monasticism. There is no sanctity in worldly marriage of any kind. Madame Blavatsky examines the meaning of marriage from the highest philosophical, metaphysical, and ethical perspectives. Madame Blavatsky appraises the religious, practical, and political aspects of sensual marriage. Q & A on Theosophy, Asceticism, and Marriage.

Download or read book Theda Bara written by Roy Liebman and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2023-08-16 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although a major star in the 1910s, Theda Bara--known as "The Vamp"--was largely neglected until the 1990s, when her fame began to resurface. Since then, there have been biographies, documentaries and other works that have brought the silent film actress back into the spotlight, including a painstaking stills reconstruction of her lost epic Cleopatra. This is a complete examination of Bara's more than 40 films, as well as her theater and radio appearances, down to the smallest detail. With the vast majority of Bara's films considered lost, it is a particularly valuable resource for fans and scholars, and includes information about each film's genesis, director, plot, censorship problems, and critical and public reactions. Also included is a biographical overview, with many illuminating anecdotes.
