Book Description
Excerpt from Mistress Anne It was these Old Gentlemen who, in khaki and tweed, each in its proper season, came to Peter Bower's, and ate the food which Peter's wife cooked for them. They went out in the morning fresh and radiant, and returned at night, tired but still radiant, to sit by the fire or on the porch, and, in jovial content, to tell Of the delights Of earlier days and Of what sport had been before the invasion Of the Philistines. They knew much Of gastronomic lore, these Old Gentlemen, and they liked to talk Of things to eat. But they spoke Of' other things, and now and then they fell into soft silences when a sunset was upon them or a night Of stars.

Book Description
Excerpt from Sweet Anne Page, Vol. 1 of 3 Miss Harriet officiated as school-mistress to all but Stephen. He was rather older than any of his cousins, but his aunt's reason for giving him up was his pertinacity in asking questions which she was unable to answer. So he was sent just now to an old-fashioned day-school in which boys and girls were mixed, and where he had positively managed to fall in love already. There is nothing strange in that; but it so happened that Stephen's little love-fancy was destined to colour his whole life. What a lazy boy you are! Went on Aunt Harriet. Have you no lessons to learn? You learn nothing at Miss Martin's. Not very much, aunt, said Stephen. She never will answer my questions. I asked her to-day whether she didn't think Christian in the Pilgrim's Progress' a very bad man for running away from his wife, and she called me a wicked boy, and made me stand on the form.

Book Description
Excerpt from Fugitive Anne At the other side of the table, Opposite the Dane, and apparently interested too, in the affair of Mrs Bedo's locked door, stood an Australian black boy in European dress - that is, in a steward's dress of white linen, with a napkin in his hand for it had happened that Kombo, Mr and Mrs Bedo s aboriginal servant, had, with the permission of his master and mistress, taken the place of a Chinese boy, temporarily disabled by a malarial fever. These people were at the upper end of the saloon, near which was Mrs Bedo's cabin. At the lower end, the remaining passengers, with the purser and another steward, had congregated. The passengers were few; a Javanese shipping agent, a Catholic priest, a person connected with telegraphs, and two or three bushmen on their way back from Singapore or Europe, as the case might be. These were all waiting, with gaping mouths and open eyes, for the tragedy which they imagined would be disclosed. For it was Openly suspected on board, that Mrs Bedo disliked and feared her husband. Mr Bedo had been knocking violently at the cabin door, but no answer was returned. He was a coarse, powerful person, with an ill-featured face, a sinewy throat, and great, brawny hands. He had started in life as a bullock driver and was now a rich man, having struck gold In the early days Of Charters Towers Diggings - before, indeed, Charters Towers had become Officially established.

Book Description
Excerpt from Mrs. Anne Hutchinson: A Paper Read Before the New England Historic Genealogical Society, February 6, 1901 Francis Bacon, in his essay of Truth, translates and quotes with approval a saying of Lucretius, which may, not unfitly, stand as a Prologue, or a motto, to a paper which undertakes, after more than two centuries and a half, to review the salient incidents in the picturesque and painful career of Anne Hutchinson. "It is a pleasure," says Lucretius, "to stand upon the shore, and to see ships tost upon the sea; a pleasure to stand in the window of a castle, and to see a battle and the adventures thereof below; but no pleasure is comparable to the standing upon the vantage ground of Truth, and to see the errors, and wanderings, and mists, and tempests in the vale below." That there were errors and wanderings, as well as mists and tempests, in the infant town of Boston during the years of which I am to speak, is certain; that they gathered largely about the person of mistress anne Hutchinson, if they were not wholly due to her active influence and her restless tongue, is equally certain; but it is not so certain that, even from our present vantage ground of truth, we can justly estimate either the provocation or the intolerance of the prosecution and punishment which she suffered. It is so difficult to enter intelligently into the conditions and the differences of a long-past generation that our judgments concerning them must of necessity be cautious and tentative. Mistress Hutchinson made her advent to Boston in September, 1634. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Wittgenstein's Mistress is a novel unlike anything David Markson or anyone else has ever written before. It is the story of a woman who is convinced and, astonishingly, will ultimately convince the reader as well that she is the only person left on earth.

Book Description
This is the biography of the Gothic novelist, Ann Radcliffe (1764-1823), author of "The Mysteries of Udolpho", the world's first "best seller". The text clarifies Radcliffe's emergence from a Dissenting Unitarian, rather than a conventional Anglican, background. This places Radcliffe within the circle of other women writers nurtured in radical Dissenting backgrounds (such as Wollstonecraft, Hays, Inchbauld and Barbauld). Radcliffe's childhood and family background are documented and the rumours of her madness and reclusiveness investigated leading to an evaluation of the resons for her probable mental breakdown. The text constitutes a "cultural history" of a writing woman, demonstrating her place within radical culture, literary tradition and aesthetic discourse, and examining her role in the rise of the professional woman writer. Her novels are analyzed mainly in the context of her biography and sources.
