Book Description
The eastern and western worlds came together when Princess Nzingha of Kongo-Kingdom and Lord Andrew Barton of Tantallon Scotland both survived unpleasant circumstances, which led them to an unknown island. Princess Nzingha defied her Father by fleeing home to search for her lover, as she believed him to be exiled after her Father found out about a Scandal that involved his daughter, the Princess, and his high-ranked soldier. The night she left home, Pirates invaded their shores, placing the Princess in captivity. Her bravery and fighting skills aided her escape, allowing her to find refuge on an unknown Island. Meanwhile, a ship's Captain named Lord Barton is thrown from his ship while battling a catastrophic storm in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. The two strangers become companions as they are forced to fight against Natives who fought to protect the Island from foreigners. While on the Island, the two grow a strong companionship, as Nzingha finds peace in Lord Barton after being captured and almost sold into slavery. When the two find their way off the Island. A decision has to be made. Will the Princess follow the Captain to his Homelands? Or will she return home to face the hurt her Father has caused? Her decision to travel with Drake to his homeland ends in chaos when Lord Barton's rapacious uncle captures her and forces the Princess to take him to a cave made of jewels in her mother's homeland in Africa. In an attempt to rescue Princess Nzingha from his uncle, Lord Barton is forced to meet Nzingha's Father, an angry King. Their introduction does not end well, as Nzingha is forced to choose between being her Father's heir or following her lover back to Scotland.

Book Description
When the original Encyclopedia of Southern Culture was published in 1989, the topic of foodways was relatively new as a field of scholarly inquiry. Food has always been central to southern culture, but the past twenty years have brought an explosion in interest in foodways, particularly in the South. This volume marks the first encyclopedia of the food culture of the American South, surveying the vast diversity of foodways within the region and the collective qualities that make them distinctively southern. Articles in this volume explore the richness of southern foodways, examining not only what southerners eat but also why they eat it. The volume contains 149 articles, almost all of them new to this edition of the Encyclopedia. Longer essays address the historical development of southern cuisine and ethnic contributions to the region's foodways. Topical essays explore iconic southern foods such as MoonPies and fried catfish, prominent restaurants and personalities, and the food cultures of subregions and individual cities. The volume is destined to earn a spot on kitchen shelves as well as in libraries.

Book Description
The Oxford Handbook of Lord Byron offers the latest in critical thinking about the poet that defined the Romantic era across Europe and beyond. The volume presents forty-four groundbreaking essays that enable readers to assess Lord Byron's central position in Romantic traditions and his profound and far-reaching influence on British, European, and world culture. The chapters are organized into five sections-'Works', 'Biographical Contexts', 'Literary and Cultural Contexts', 'Afterlives', and 'Reading Byron Now'-that guide readers through the most important issues and frameworks for interpreting Byron. 'Works' presents original readings of Byron's key works and many of his lesser-known ones, giving space to extensive studies of his great epic, Don Juan, and the poem that brought him fame, Childe Harold's Pilgrimage. 'Biographical Contexts' invites readers to consider Byron's life through key themes and patterns. 'Literary and Cultural Contexts' sets out the most important intellectual traditions from which Byron's work emerged and in which it developed. 'Afterlives' shows readers the extent of Byron's influence on literature, art, music, and politics in Europe and beyond. 'Reading Byron Now' advances the critical agendas that are shaping Byron Studies today. The Handbook tackles key themes associated with Byron including the Byronic Hero, cosmopolitanism, liberalism, sexuality, mobility, scepticism, the Gothic, celebrity culture, and much more. For new readers of Byron, the volume provides an excellent grounding in his life and work, and for specialists, it opens up exciting new approaches to an icon of Romantic literature.

Book Description
In 1815, the clever and courted Annabella Milbanke married the notorious and brilliant Lord Byron. Just one year later, she fled, taking with her their baby daughter, Ada Lovelace. Byron himself escaped into exile and died as a revolutionary hero in 1824. Brought up by a mother who became one of the most progressive reformers of Victorian England, Byron’s little girl was introduced to mathematics as a means of calming her wild spirits. As a child invalid, Ada dreamed of building a steam-driven flying horse. As an exuberant and boldly unconventional young woman, she amplified her explanations of Charles Babbage’s unbuilt calculating engine to predict the dawn of the modern computer age.During her life, Lady Byron was praised as a paragon of virtue; within ten years of her death, she was vilified as a disgrace to her sex. Well over a hundred years later, Annabella Milbanke is still perceived as a prudish wife and cruelly controlling mother. But her hidden devotion to Byron and her tender ambitions for his mercurial, brilliant daughter reveal a deeply complex but unexpectedly sympathetic personality.Drawing on fascinating new material, Seymour reveals the ways in which Byron, long after his death, continued to shape the lives and reputations both of his wife and his daughter.
