Описание:

A new authoritative edition of Katherine Mansfield’s complete correspondence

• Provides accurate transcriptions that shed new light on the everyday, intimate world of Mansfield as a letter-writer
• Organised A-Z, which foregrounds the lives and personalities of her correspondents, along with the various self-fictionalising games that the letter-writer played
• Showcases letters and sections of letters that have never previously been published
• Provides meticulous explanatory notes and rich contextual information
• Offers extensive attention to the cultural and socio-political context of the correspondence

From Conrad Aiken to Hugh Jones, this first volume covers correspondents from every period of Mansfield’s life. A detailed introduction, together with biographical portraits for each correspondent, enhance the cultural and socio-historical context, while the letters themselves offer a detailed expose of Mansfield’s life: from exile and emigration, intimacy and betrayal, and the traumas of war and disease, to nature and the environment and fashions and food. The volume also reveals the intimacies of some of Mansfield’s most prized friendships.

Описание: An eye-opening look at women’s war reporting, An Unladylike Profession is a portrait of a sisterhood from the guns of August to the corridors of Versailles.When World War I began, war reporting was a thoroughly masculine bastion of journalism. But that did not stop dozens of women reporters from stepping into the breach, defying gender norms and official restrictions to establish roles for themselves-and to write new kinds of narratives about women and war. Chris Dubbs tells the fascinating stories of Edith Wharton, Nellie Bly, and more than thirty other American women who worked as war reporters. As Dubbs shows, stories by these journalists brought in women from the periphery of war and made them active participants-fully engaged and equally heroic, if bearing different burdens and making different sacrifices. Women journalists traveled from belligerent capitals to the front lines to report on the conflict. But their experiences also brought them into contact with social transformations, political unrest, labor conditions, campaigns for women’s rights, and the rise of revolutionary socialism.

Описание: THIS period piece by Oriana Atkinson is a hearty tale of the roaring days when the old Hudson River town of Catskill was crowded with boatmen, tanners, lumber-jacks, and rogues who preyed upon them, but is also a love story in which the major conflicts are a lusty husband`s infidelities with his sister-in-law, against his morally exacting wife.

Описание:

Following the success of its prologue novel, The Twin Cousins, Oriana Atkinson's next novel of the youthful 1800s and the Wares and Van Loos of Atta, New York is as mesmerizing as the first. The Golden Season picks up where the story of Twin Cousins ends. However, it does not wander from the key elements of feuding men and women whose love-lives mingle in the Catskills. These wildling generations cannot ignore the primal behaviors that the wilderness magnifies or that love demands in its sway for power and emotion. Oriana's "Romance of Early America" threads these passions and the history of a country just finding its legs. At the same time, these early Americans were plagued with a desire for more land, and a new home...a place where everything looks greener on some hill further west. This is the stewpot of The Golden Season.

Описание: "Murphy artfully connects multiple narratives to produce a sprawling tale of love, family, duty, war, and displacement. It is above all a stinging indictment of the ill-fated war in Iraq and the heavy tolls it continues to exact on its people."--Khaled Hosseini, author of The Kite Runner

The world is Rita Khoury's oyster. The bright and driven daughter of a Boston-area Irish-Arab family that has risen over the generations from poor immigrants to part of the coastal elite, Rita grows up in a 1980s cultural mishmash. Corned beef and cabbage sit on the dinner table alongside stuffed grape leaves and tabooleh, all cooked by Rita's mother, an Irish nurse who met her Lebanese surgeon husband while working at a hospital together. The unconventional yet close-knit family bonds over summers at the beach, wedding line-dances, and a shared obsession with the Red Sox.

Rita charts herself an ambitious path through Harvard to one of the best newspapers in the country. She is posted in cosmopolitan Beirut and dates a handsome Palestinian would-be activist. But when she is assigned to cover the America-led invasion of Baghdad in 2003, she finds herself unprepared for the warzone. Her lifeline is her interpreter and fixer Nabil al-Jumaili, an equally restless young man whose dreams have been restricted by life in a deteriorating dictatorship, not to mention his own seemingly impossible desires. As the war tears Iraq apart, personal betrayal and the horrors of conflict force Rita and Nabil out of the country and into twisting, uncertain fates. What lies in wait will upend their lives forever, shattering their own notions of what they're entitled to in a grossly unjust world.

Epic in scope, by turns satirical and heartbreaking, and speaking sharply to America's current moment, Correspondents is a whirlwind story about displacement from one's own roots, the violence America promotes both abroad and at home, and the resilience that allows families to remake themselves and endure even the most shocking upheavals.
