Book Description
Virgin of Nazareth conversationally describes Jewish and Chaldean wise men's customs and struggles of Mary and Joseph. Doubts of Jesus' Messiahship plagued relatives and others until brutal, illegal trials and his resurrection prove He is not just a great prophet but Christ their Savior."I have been greatly blessed by reading the Virgin of Nazareth. It means more to me because I have known the author for many years and understand the desire of his heart to magnify the Lord.The reader must understand that this is a novel and not the Word of God. However, much Scripture is utilized in the story and must be recognized as the Word of God when it is used.Much of that brought out in the story is what I have preached in my own ministry, such as the stigma that Joseph and Mary must have endured. It is alluded to in the Scripture (John 8:41).Clarence has taught the Word for many years and quite obviously has a good knowledge of Jewish customs which is used throughout the story.His use of modern vernacular is amusing and refreshing, and I am sure will enhance the interest of many readers.I believe God will bless and use this work in the lives of many."Rev. Lyle DeFordPerry, IowaEighty-three year old Clarence E. Stalcup, previously author of Frontiers Calling, an Iowa farm boy during the Great Depression, had devout parents and became a Christian at age nine. After army and farming, he was a counselor in group homes for mentally challenged men and delinquent youths.He was deacon, Sunday School superintendent, and he and his wife taught church youth or children for over half a century. Their spiritual example is reflected in six children, thirty grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren.

Book Description
This is a book about translation and literary influence. It takes as its subject Spain's most important contemporary novelist, Javier Marías (1951-), who worked as a literary translator for a significant portion of his early career. Since then, he has maintained that translation had a crucial impact on the development of his writing style and his literary frame of reference. It examines his claims to the influence of three writers whose works he translated, Laurence Sterne, Sir Thomas Browne, and Vladimir Nabokov. It does so by engaging in close reading of his translations, examining how he meets the linguistic, syntactic, and cultural challenges they present. His prolonged engagement with their prose is then set alongside his own novels and short stories, the better to discern precisely how and in what ways his works have been shaped by their influence and through translation. Hence this study begins by asking why Marías should have turned to translation in the cultural landscape of Spain in the 1970s and how the ideological standpoints that animated his decision affect the way he translates. His translation of Sterne's Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman is set alongside his pseudo-autobiographical novel Negra espalda del tiempo (Dark Back of Time), while his translation of Sir Thomas Browne's Urn Burial is then analysed in tandem with that produced by Jorge Luis Borges and Adolfo Bioy Casares. Subsequent chapters examine how Browne's prose has shaped Marías's thinking on oblivion, posterity, and time. The final chapters offer an analysis of the partial translation and palimpsest of Lolita he undertook in the early 1990s and of his most ambitious novel to date, Tu rostro mañana (Your Face Tomorrow), as a work in which characterization is underpinned by both literary allusion and the hydridization of works Marías has translated.

Book Description
"Servant characters, Nash contends, enable these writers to give voice to the contradictions inherent in the popular paternalistic philosophy of their times because the situation of domestic servitude itself embodies such inconsistencies. Servants, whose labor was essential to the economic and social function of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century British society, made up the largest category of workers in England by the nineteenth century and yet were expected to be socially invisible. At the same time, they lived in the same houses as their masters and mistresses and were privy to the most intimate details of their lives. Both Edgeworth and Gaskell created servant characters who challenge the social hierarchy, thus exposing the potential for dehumanization and corruption inherent in the paternalistic philosophy. Nash's study opens up important avenues for future scholars of women's fiction in the nineteenth century."--BOOK JACKET.

Book Description
Royal women did much more to wield power besides marrying the king and producing the heir. Subverting the dichotomies of public/private and formal/informal that gender public authority as male and informal authority as female, this book examines royal women as agents of influence. With an expansive chronological and geographic scope—from ancient to early modern and covering Egypt, Great Britain, the Ottoman Empire, and Asia Minor—these essays trace patterns of influence often disguised by narrower studies of government studies and officials. Contributors highlight the theme of dynastic loyalty by focusing on the roles and actions of individual royal women, examining patterns within dynasties, and considering what factors generated loyalty and disloyalty to a dynasty or individual ruler. Contributors show that whether serving as the font of dynastic authority or playing informal roles of child-bearer, patron, or religious promoter, royal women have been central to the issue of dynastic loyalty throughout the ancient, medieval, and modern eras.
