Women Writers and the English Nation in the 1790s: Romantic Belongings
- Women Writers and the English Nation in the 1790s: Romantic Belongings By Angela Keane
- Publisher: Cambridge University Press 2001 | 214 Pages | ISBN: 0521773423 | PDF | 2 MB
- Angela Keane addresses the work of five women writers of the 1790s and its problematic relationship with the canon of Romantic literature. Refining arguments that women's writing has been overlooked, Keane examines the more complex underpinnings and exclusionary effects of the English national literary tradition. The book explores the negotiations of literate, middle-class women such as Hannah More, Mary Wollstonecraft, Charlotte Smith, Helen Maria Williams and Ann Radcliffe with emergent ideas of national literary representation.

Literary Magazines and British Romanticism
- Literary Magazines and British Romanticism By Mark Parker
- Publisher: Cambridge University Press 2001 | 230 Pages | ISBN: 0521781922 | PDF | 2 MB
- In this study, Mark Parker argues that magazines such as the London Magazine and Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine offered an innovative and collaborative space for writers and their work--indeed, magazines became one of the preeminent literary forms of the 1820s and 1830s. Examining the dynamic relationship between literature and culture that evolved within this context, Literary Magazines and British Romanticism claims that writing in such a setting enters into a variety of alliances with other contributions and with ongoing institutional concerns that give subtle inflection to its meaning.

The Captain's Widow of Sandwich: Self-Invention and the Life of Hannah Rebecca Burgess, 1834-1917
- The Captain's Widow of Sandwich: Self-Invention and the Life of Hannah Rebecca Burgess, 1834-1917 By Megan Shockley
- Publisher: NYU Press 2010 | 272 Pages | ISBN: 0814783198 | PDF | 2 MB
- In 1852 Hannah Rebecca Crowell married sea captain William Burgess and set sail. Within three years, Rebecca Burgess had crossed the equator eleven times and learned to navigate a vessel. In 1856, 22-year-old Rebecca saved the ship Challenger as her husband lay dying from dysentery. The widow returned to her family's home in Sandwich, Massachusetts, where she refused all marriage proposals and died wealthy in 1917.
- This is the way Burgess recorded her story in her prodigious journals and registers, which she donated to the local historical society upon her death, but there is no other evidence that this dramatic event occurred exactly this way. In The Captain’s Widow of Sandwich, Megan Taylor Shockley examines how Burgess constructed her own legend and how the town of Sandwich embraced that history as its own. Through careful analysis of myriad primary sources, Shockley also addresses how Burgess dealt with the conflicting gender roles of her life, reconciling her traditionally masculine adventures at sea and her independent lifestyle with the accepted ideals of the period’s “Victorian woman.”

- The Diaries of John Gregory Bourke. Volume 4: July 3, 1880-May 22,1881 By Charles M. Robinson III
- Publisher: University of North Texas Press 2009 | 592 Pages | ISBN: 1574412639 | PDF | 3 MB
- John Gregory Bourke kept a monumental set of diaries as aide-de-camp to Brigadier General George Crook. This fourth volume (of a projected set of eight) chronicles the political and managerial affairs in Crook's Department of the Platte. A large portion centers on the continuing controversy concerning the forced relocation of the Ponca Indians from their ancient homeland along the Dakota-Nebraska line to a new reservation in the Indian Territory. An equally large portion concerns Bourke's ethnological work under official sanction from the army and the Bureau of Ethnology. Each volume in the series is extensively annotated and contains a biographical appendix on Indians, civilians, and military personnel named in the volume.

Julius Caesar: The background, strategies, tactics and battlefield experiences of the greatest commanders of history
- Nic Fields, "Julius Caesar: The background, strategies, tactics and battlefield experiences of the greatest commanders of history"
- Osprey Publishing | 2010 | ISBN: 1846039282 | 64 pages | PDF | 10,1 MB
- One of the greatest military commanders in history, Julius Caesar's most famous victory - the conquest of Gaul - was to him little more than a stepping stone to power. An audacious and decisive general, his victories over the Gauls allowed him to challenge for the political leadership of Rome. Leading a single legion across the Rubicon in 49 BC, Caesar launched a civil war which would end the Roman Republic and usher in the Roman Empire, with Caesar at its helm. This examination of the great general's life covers his great victories and few defeats, looking at the factors which lay behind his military genius.

Hollies: The Genus Ilex
- Hollies: The Genus Ilex
- Publisher: Timber Press | ISBN: 088192380X | edition 1997 | CHM | 619 pages | 15,5 mb
- If given the exciting task of designing a new landscape--whether a small space garden or vast acreage--it is likely the majority of gardeners will consider including hollies. Galle's guide to the genus Ilex presents a delightfully balanced yet comprehensive study of these remarkably varied plants. After a bit of legend and lore by a founder of the Holly Society of America, informative chapters reveal myriad ways to use hollies in the garden, for topiaries, and as bonsai. In addition to providing extensive botanical background, an expansive section describes hundreds of species in a definitive format, with the book's final section devoted to recommendations for culture and propagation. Galle provides home gardeners with the advice necessary to select plants of appropriate size, hardiness, and cultural requirements. Illustrated with numerous photographs and drawings.

Arts and Humanities through the Eras Vol 1 - 5
- Arts and Humanities through the Eras Vol 1 - 5
- Publisher: Gale | ISBN: 078765695X | edition 2004 | PDF | 2250 pages | 74,3 mb
- Over the last two decades the historical focus has shifted from viewing events in a simple historical context to a more integrative perspective. This set offers a multidimensional picture of primarily Western civilization, covering Ancient Egypt (2675-332 B.C.E.), Ancient Greece and Rome (1200 B.C.E.-476 C.E.), Medieval Europe (814-1450 C.E.), Renaissance Europe (1300-1600 C.E.), and The Age of the Baroque and Enlightenment (1600-1800 C.E.). Similar in organization to Gale's American Eras and World Eras lines, the work exposes readers to each historical period through the study of nine different arts and humanities topics: "Architecture and Design," "Dance," "Fashion," "Literature," "Music," "Philosophy," "Religion," "Theater," and "Visual Arts." Each topic area is treated in a different chapter, but the connections between topics are highlighted both in the text and through cross-referencing. The result is a broader and more inclusive picture of the culture of each period, emphasizing connections between, for example, religion, dance, and literature or between the visual arts and architecture.

Animals in War
- Animals in War (Unabridged Audio Book) By Jilly Cooper narrated by Patricia Gallimore
- Publisher: W F Howes Ltd 2008-02-01 | ISBN: 1407416871 | Language: English | Audio CD in MP3 | 123 MB
- Jilly Cooper is so well known for her racy fiction that some may have been surprised to see her tackle such a serious subject. But her love for her own dogs and cats is often written about. In one instance she famously said of a good looking woman that she had the face of a lurcher. Only a dog lover could understand that this was a compliment!
- Jilly tells the sad and heroic tale of these heroes who had no choice and how they rose to the occasion one and all.
- Animals in war gave their lives to their human comrades and the cause. I defy you to read this and not wonder at their spirit and generosity.
- This is a sad read but also a moving tribute. Read it and give a home to a rescued cat, dog or horse today!
