Book excerpt: This Sense & Sensibility sequel is a mature coming-of-age adventure/clean romance that includes some of literature’s most beloved Regency characters, along with a new cast of friends young and old. WITH DAUGHTERS ELINOR AND MARIANNE WELL-MARRIED, widow Francine Dashwood’s thoughts turn to the same for young Margaret. But Francine’s widowed sister Emmeline has other plans, suggesting they seek husbands for themselves. Emmeline is independent and outgoing—very unlike Francine, who has always doubted her own ability in the world at large and lived in the shadow of her charismatic husband. A journey to the south coast of Devonshire with friends throws the sisters into the company of wildly attractive Admiral Tennant, recently widowed Charles Creighton, and opinionated Cecil Walford. As each lady experiences the diversions of the seaside resort with adventures by land and by sea, they discover romance, intrigue, renewal, and are challenged by tests of loyalty and honor. All framed by the unspoken question “Is it too late for love?” The Pleasure of Her Company is part of a collection of sequels and side stories inspired by Jane Austen’s novels. The first, Her Summer at Pemberley (2020) tells Kitty Bennet’s story after Pride & Prejudice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the Pleasure of His Company: An Affair of the Misty City (1903) is a novel by Charles Warren Stoddard. Published toward the end of Stoddard’s career as a poet and travel writer whose friends included Mark Twain and Ambrose Bierce, For the Pleasure of His Company: An Affair of the Misty City is a pioneering novel that explores the ambitions of a young artist while illuminating the struggles of gay men in a society that failed to accept them as equals. At 25 years of age, Paul Clitheroe is “master of himself, but slave to fortune.” A struggling writer, he lives a life of ennui and excess, looking for love and success without being sure of the shape of either. In the Misty City, he has begun making a name for himself among local editors and readers, finally finding publication for his work. Despite this modest success, he remains unsatisfied, unsure of himself, and increasingly restless. Are his mixed feelings merely a symptom of his poetic outlook, or something else altogether? When the debonair Foxlair invites Paul to join him on a voyage to the South Seas, a land of promise where gay men can live without fear of reprisal, he wonders if there is a place for him after all. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Charles Warren Stoddard’s For the Pleasure of His Company: An Affair of the Misty City is a classic work of American literature reimagined for modern readers.

Download or read book The Pleasure of Punishment written by Magnus Hörnqvist and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-03-18 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on a reading of contemporary philosophical arguments, this book accounts for how punishment has provided audiences with pleasure in different historical contexts. Watching tragedies, contemplating hell, attending executions, or imagining prisons have generated pleasure, according to contemporary observers, in ancient Greece, in medieval Catholic Europe, in the early-modern absolutist states, and in the post-1968 Western world. The pleasure was often judged morally problematic, and raised questions about which desires were satisfied, and what the enjoyment was like. This book offers a research synthesis that ties together existing work on the pleasure of punishment. It considers how the shared joys of punishment gradually disappeared from the public view at a precise historic conjuncture, and explores whether arguments about the carnivalesque character of cruelty can provide support for the continued existence of penal pleasure. Towards the end of this book, the reader will discover, if willing to go along and follow desire to places which are full of pain and suffering, that deeply entwined with the desire for punishment, there is also the desire for social justice. An accessible and compelling read, this book will appeal to students and scholars of criminology, sociology, philosophy and all those interested in the pleasures of punishment.
