Book Description
... "Preston, how you act ! Why on earth you should make such a fuss I can't see. You don't have to work as hard as that! And just because you like to lounge around all Sunday morning! Yes, I do think it's necessary. If you want to spoil Aunt Mary's visit entirely - and it would " "Oh, all right, all right; I'll do it, of course," said her husband resignedly. "Now the subject's closed." "You promise me faithfully you will go to church with Aunt Mary while she's here? " "Yes, I'll promise. She shall do anything with me that she wants," said Mr. Chandor with emphasis. "And I hope you're satisfied now." He drew his wife's chair a little closer to him, and put his arm around her."Poor girl, she has an awful time with her husband, hasn't she? Pity she didn't get a better one while she was about it...

Book Description
Excerpt from Refractory Husbands When Aunt Mary comes, Preston, you will just have to go to church!" Pretty Mrs. Chandor's tone was that of one nerved for combat. "Anything you say," remarked her husband absently, with his eye still glued to the magazine he was reading in the waning light, as he sat on the piazza in a chair that was slightly tilted to allow for the comfortable placing of his feet on the railing, revealing an expanse of cadet-blue lisle stocking, matching his necktie, above the low, speckless patent-leather shoes. Mrs. Chandor's eye rested on him with a momentary esthetic pleasure, in the midst of her harassment; she never had to implore her husband to go and make himself "look nice," as Lucia Bannard was obliged to. Late shadows were lying across the pretty, smooth lawn; the wistaria lifted languidly in the dying breeze; from nearby came the sound of little boys' voices laughing and calling in some merry game. Everything was at peace but Elinor Chandor's mind. "Preston, put down that book! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Nancy Christie innovatively and significantly transforms the writing of Quebec history between 1763 and 1837 by locating Quebec within new British practices of imperial governance asserted in the wake of the Seven Years War. Breaking with the conventional master-narrative of the era as one of gradual integration between French- and English-speaking communities, accompanied by incremental political and social liberalization, Nancy Christie presents the six decades following the Conquest as a period of assertive British strategies for assimilating Quebec's French and Catholic majority, and refurbished authoritarianism deployed to arrest the spread of revolution in the Atlantic world. Brilliantly advanced, this new narrative of post-Conquest Quebec builds upon entirely new research meticulously gleaned from over 20,000 cases from the criminal and civil judicial archives and a sustained examination of both official and unofficial political and social discourses. This study charts both the British practices of colonial rule, which sought the assimilation of non-British 'others' through both formal modes of law and governance, and the consumption of British manufactured goods, and the contestation of these through the daily resistance of ordinary men and women. In so doing, Christie identifies Quebec as a case study with which to open a new trajectory in the wider study of the British Empire. Her striking conclusion urges a shift in historical focus from the interaction between European colonizers and racialized others, to the centrality of practices of rule designed to govern European subaltern peoples.
