Reclaiming Catherine of Siena
Author: Jane TylusPublisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 0226821285
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 338
Book Description
Catherine of Siena (1347–1380) wrote almost four hundred epistles in her lifetime, effectively insinuating herself into the literary, political, and theological debates of her day. At the same time, as the daughter of a Sienese dyer, Catherine had no formal education, and her accomplishments were considered miracles rather than the work of her own hand. As a result, she has been largely excluded from accounts of the development of European humanism and the language and literature of Italy. Reclaiming Catherine ofSiena makes the case for considering Catherine alongside literary giants such as Dante and Petrarch, as it underscores Catherine's commitment to using the vernacular to manifest Christ's message—and her own. Jane Tylus charts here the contested struggles of scholars over the centuries to situate Catherine in the history of Italian culture in early modernity. But she mainly focuses on Catherine’s works, calling attention to the interplay between orality and textuality in the letters and demonstrating why it was so important for Catherine to envision herself as a writer. Tylus argues for a reevalution of Catherine as not just a medieval saint, but one of the major figures at the birth of the Italian literary canon.

Book Description
‘I may not be blessed wi’ magic, but I do like to keep things nice and tidy.’ Deep in the Lincolnshire Wolds in the year 1812, Bessie Bell slaves away as a housemaid for a merciless employer. Being smart of mouth and a dab hand with a bucket, she makes short work of an assailant — only to be thrown out into the drenching fog of a cold October night. That’s when things turn... strange. Swept away into a wild adventure, stout-hearted Bessie’s fazed by nothing. Not by destitution, even with the winter coming on. Not by mysterious gentleman wandering the night, even if Mr. Green does seem to be out of his wits. Not even by ghostly horses with firelit eyes, no matter that the thing’s nightmare incarnate. Except that this goblin horse is a monarch’s own steed, and his royal master’s never far behind him... Can an ordinary human girl hold her own against the Goblin King himself? From the author of The Wonder Tales comes a delicious tale of love, magic and fairytale adventure.

Book Description
Sometimes love waits a world away, and happiness must be fought for. In the year 1811, impassable barriers separate the world of carriages, battles and bonnets from the world of witches, goblins and fae. Until the Solstice comes. Then the walls fall, and anyone may pass out of England and into Aylfenhame… Three courageous heroines will take that step. Sophy Landon, impoverished and alone; Isabel Ellerby, trapped by the prospect of an unwelcome marriage; and Bessie Bell, a mistreated housemaid. But courage brings its own rewards. Curses, betrayals and a dark history may wait in the realm of the fae, but so do adventure, and magic, and dreams. And for those with heart enough, true love. These are stories of escape, of freedom, of joy snatched from the jaws of despair. They're stories of the road to happiness, winding though it may be. Of a brightness in the sky on the darkest of days, and above all: of love, and its power to change everything. This compendium contains three blissful novels of love, magic and adventure: Miss Landon and Aubranael, Miss Ellerby and the Ferryman, and Bessie Bell and the Goblin King.
