Book Description
Excerpt from The Works of Stanley Houghton, Vol. 3 of 3 The scene is laid in the South Cheshire country town of Danesbridge. It is a late autumn evening, chilly and wet. The stage represents an old-fashioned room with wooden beams across the ceiling and walls half panelled. In the middle of the back wall is a large bay window, the panes covered with dark green curtains. Nearest the spectator, on his left, is a door leading to the other part of the house, and farther away a large and roomy fireplace. In the back, to the right of the window, is a door opening into a small hall. From this hall the outer door, which is visible, opens on to the street. In the hall is a hat-stand with a coat, a couple of hats, and an umbrella. An old-fashioned bureau, on which is a large worn Bible, books, papers, and a file of bills, stands in the bay window. On the wall to the right of the spectator a large dresser-sideboard, bearing some old blue and white pottery. By the fire an armchair, another chair, and a small table covered with papers, books, pen, and ink. In the centre of the stage a large oval dining-table covered with a green, gold, and brown cloth. The half nearest the door is spread with a white tray-cloth, and supper for one is laid. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
An original and highly unusual psycholinguistic study of American literature and culture from 1584 to 1860, this volume focuses on the metaphor of 'land-as-woman.' It is the first systematic documentation of the recurrent responses to the American continent as a feminine entity (as Mother, as Virgin, as Temptress, as the Ravished), and it is also the first systematic inquiry into the metaphor's implications for the current ecological crisis.
