Epic into Novel-Perpustakaan.org
Author : Henry Power
Published by OUP OxfordPublished since 2015-02-19
Epic into Novel examines an unexplored tension in Fielding's work: the tension between his commitment to the classical tradition and his immersion in a print culture in which books were regarded as consumable commodities.
It gives a fresh account of Fielding's engagement with classical literature, showing how he fashioned his novels out of ancient epic.
It also shows how Fielding drew on the language of cookery and consumption in order to characterize his relationship with the market.
This interest in the place of the ancients in a world of consumerism was inherited from the previous generation of satirists.
The 'Scriblerians'—among them Jonathan Swift, John Gay, and Alexander Pope—repeatedly suggest in their work that classical values are at odds with modern tastes and appetites.
Fielding, who had idolized these writers as a young man, developed many of their satiric routines in his own writing.
But Fielding broke from Swift, Gay, and Pope in creating a version of epic designed to appeal to modern consumers.
Henry Power draws on a range of sources—including eighteenth-century cookery books as well as works of classical literature—to offer fresh readings of works by Swift, Gay, and Pope, and of Fielding's major novels.
Epic into Novel explores Fielding's engagement with various Scriblerian themes, primarily the consumption of literature, but also the professionalization of scholarship, and the status of the author.
It shows ultimately that Fielding broke with the Scriblerians in acknowledging and celebrating the influence of the marketplace on his work.

Published by Macmillan AudioPublished since 2015-02-03
In love we find out who we want to be.
In war we find out who we are.
FRANCE, 1939 In the quiet village of Carriveau, Vianne Mauriac says goodbye to her husband, Antoine, as he heads for the Front.
She doesn't believe that the Nazis will invade France...but invade they do, in droves of marching soldiers, in caravans of trucks and tanks, in planes that fill the skies and drop bombs upon the innocent.
When a German captain requisitions Vianne's home, she and her daughter must live with the enemy or lose everything.
Without food or money or hope, as danger escalates all around them, she is forced to make one impossible choice after another to keep her family alive.
Vianne's sister, Isabelle, is a rebellious eighteen-year-old girl, searching for purpose with all the reckless passion of youth.
While thousands of Parisians march into the unknown terrors of war, she meets Gäetan, a partisan who believes the French can fight the Nazis from within France, and she falls in love as only the young can...completely.
But when he betrays her, Isabelle joins the Resistance and never looks back, risking her life time and again to save others.
With courage, grace and powerful insight, bestselling author Kristin Hannah captures the epic panorama of WWII and illuminates an intimate part of history seldom seen: the women's war.
The Nightingale tells the stories of two sisters, separated by years and experience, by ideals, passion and circumstance, each embarking on her own dangerous path toward survival, love, and freedom in German-occupied, war-torn France--a heartbreakingly beautiful novel that celebrates the resilience of the human spirit and the durability of women.
It is a novel for everyone, a novel for a lifetime.

Patronage-Perpustakaan.org
Author : Maria Edgeworth
Published by Createspace Independent Publishing PlatformPublished since 2017-09-04
Patronage is a four volume fictional work by Anglo-Irish writer Maria Edgeworth and published in 1814.
It is one of her later books, after such successes as Castle Rackrent (1800), Belinda (1801), Leonora (1806) and The Absentee in 1812, to name a few.
The novel is a long and ambitious one which she began writing in 1809.
It is the longest of her novels.
Patronage as a book is path-making; it was among the first novels with a thesis and as such, it opened the way for Sir Walter Scott's historical novels.
In the novel, Edgeworth focuses on and scrupulously explores the various types of patronage and the many forms it takes in all strata of English society.
Despite the rigor of her analysis, Edgeworth obtains a sense of subtlety through her ingenious use of variations in characterizatons and a well diversified plot.
The plot is made up of many incidents, great and small, that take the reader through a wide range of situations.
Much like her contemporary, Jane Austen, Edgeworth had a gift for conveying social conventions through brilliant dialogue and acute moral observations.
However, unlike Austen, Edgeworth's writing diverges into essay and an overemphasis on ideas (of which she has a large number) and veers once or twice into the didactic.
The literary scholar Alastair Fowler notes her "flawless ear for speech" and ability to produce "brilliant dialogue," as well as the way her various subplots are linked by chains of causation that rest ultimately on a trivial plot element, much as Austen later was able to do so superbly.
Edgeworth was eldest daughter of Richard Lovell Edgeworth, the Anglo-Irish politician, writer and inventor who had 21 other children with four wives.
This book received the imprimatur of her famous father when published.............
Maria Edgeworth (1 January 1768 - 22 May 1849) was a prolific Anglo-Irish writer of adults' and children's literature.
She was one of the first realist writers in children's literature and was a significant figure in the evolution of the novel in Europe.
She held advanced views, for a woman of her time, on estate management, politics and education, and corresponded with some of the leading literary and economic writers, including Sir Walter Scott and David Ricardo.
Early life: Maria Edgeworth was born at Black Bourton, Oxfordshire.
She was the second child of Richard Lovell Edgeworth (who eventually fathered 22 children by four wives) and Anna Maria Edgeworth; Maria was thus an aunt of Francis Ysidro Edgeworth.
She spent her early years with her mother's family in England, until her mother's death when Maria was five.
When her father married his second wife Honora Sneyd in 1773, she went with him to his estate, Edgeworthstown, in County Longford, Ireland.
Maria was sent to Mrs.
Lattafiere's school in Derby after Honora fell ill in 1775.
After Honora died in 1780 Maria's father married Honora's sister Elizabeth (then socially disapproved and legally forbidden from 1833 until the Deceased Wife's Sister's Marriage Act 1907).
Maria transferred to Mrs.
Devis's school in London.
Her father's attention became fully focused on her in 1781 when she nearly lost her sight to an eye infection.
Returning home at the age of 14, she took charge of her many younger siblings and was home-tutored in law, Irish economics and politics, science, and literature by her father.
She also started her lifelong correspondences with learned men, mainly members of the Lunar Society.................
