Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Melbourne House A Little girl was coming down a flight of stairs that led up from a great hall, slowly letting her feet pause on each stair, while the light touch of her hand on the rail guided her. The very thoughtful little face seemed to be intent on something out of the house; and when she reached the bottom, she still stood with her hand on the great baluster that rested on the marble there, and looked wistfully out of the open door. So the sunlight came in, and looked at her, - a little figure in a white frock and blue sash, with the hair out short all over a little round head, and a face not only just now full of some grave concern, but with habitually thoughtful eyes and a wise little mouth. She did not seem to see the sunlight which poured all over her, and lit up a wide, deep hall, floored with marble, and opening at the other end on trees and flowers, which shewed the sunlight busy there too. The child lingered wistfully, then crossed the hall, and went into a matted, breezy, elegant room, where a lady lay luxuriously on a couch, playing with a book and a leaf-cutter. She could not be busy with anything in that attitude. Nearly all that was to be seen was a flow of lavender silk flounces, a rich slipper at rest on a cushion, and a dainty little cap with roses on a head too much at ease to rest.

Download or read book Virago Reprints and Modern Classics written by D-M Withers and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2021-05-20 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reprinting, republishing and re-covering old books in new clothes is an established publishing practice. How are books that have fallen out of taste and favour resituated by publishers, and recognised by readers, as relevant and timely? This Element outlines three historical textures within British culture of the late 1970s and early 1980s – History, Remembrance and Heritage – that enabled Virago's reprint publishing to become a commercial and cultural success. With detailed archival case studies of the Virago Reprint Library, Testament of Youth and the Virago Modern Classics, it elaborates how reprints were profitable for the publisher and moved Virago's books - and the Virago brand name - from the periphery of culture to the centre. Throughout Virago's reprint publishing - and especially with the Modern Classics - the epistemic revelation that women writers were forgotten and could, therefore, be rediscovered, was repeated, again and again, and made culturally productive through the marketplace.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Kanga Creek: An Australian Idyll In a few hours they stopped for breakfast at the half-way house. It was a little silent and solitary inn, with a bench in front, stand ing back and up from the roadside. Nothing could be seen around save scattered gum-trees and rough fences. The men went inside the house; the women stayed in the coach; the young Englishman after he had had some brandy and water came outside and stood in front of the bench looking at the silent scene. The air was soft and luminous; there was no sound but the chattering of a magpie; nothing stirred save when a young woman got out of the coach below and disappeared momentarily down a curve in the road.

I thought it all looked very gay and pretty and interesting. The Bellevue stands in that open part of the North Side near to Parliamentary Buildings and close to Govern ment House and the Botanical Gardens - the North Side being the middle-land loop which the river makes as it winds three times in queer snake-like curves. I could see the broad grey-blue stretch of water through the bay window, in the recess of which our oval table was placed - when at last I got near it. Emu Point lies across that bend of the river, and I stood a minute or two trying to make out the roof of The Bunyas in a clip of the ridge.

I hope I shall not be a victim of misplaced confidence. I dedicate this to The Members of The Fourth Estate in Victoria, as some slight acknowledgment of the pride and pleasure I feel in belonging to a body which moves the greatest lever of modern civilization. I have not quite made up my mind as to whether the Victorian members of the Fourth Estate are proud of, or pleased with me. After all, I am but a bushwhacker in the noble army of journalists; and I daresay, by many, my mode of writing, and of obtaining information, is considered highly irregular, if not absolutely immoral. I am perfectly content, however, with the appro bation of the public and of the conductors of the Argus. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
