This heart-warming book of true stories is about women who lived during four different centuries. It testifies to the strength of mind of women forced to cope with wars and illness while protecting and educating their children, and it shows how family members worked together as the British Empire spread. Margaret Rudston was caught up in the English Civil War. When her husband died, she had to fight in court to keep the family property. Margaret’s solicitor gave her copies of poems by John Donne, which now reside in the Folger Library in Washington, D.C. Maria Barstow endured twenty years of wars in Danzig (now Gdansk in Poland), where her house was inhabited at different times by the future queen of Holland, the French army, Napoleon, and the Russian army. Some of her children were sent to England. Mrs. Jones and her children fled from Ireland when the French landed to support a rebellion. The daughters of the hymn writer, the Rev. Thomas Kelly, lived in Ireland through illness and the famine. They learned painting from Maria Spilsbury and wrote memoirs. Joan Webber taught in Malaya (now Malaysia), and escaped to Australia with her children during World War II, while her husband was fighting the Japanese. The family later settled in Tasmania. One of her children, author Sylvia Webber writes how war, separation, and boarding school affected her. These stories show families pulling together, helping the human spirit to survive.

An exquisite and authoritative look at four centuries of quilts and quilting from around the world Quilts are among the most utilitarian of art objects, yet the best among them possess a formal beauty that rivals anything made on canvas. This landmark book, drawn from the world-renowned collection of the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, highlights the splendor and craft of quilts with more than 300 superb color images and details. Fascinating essays by two noted scholars trace the evolution of quilting styles and trends as they relate to the social, political, and economic issues of their time. The collection includes quilts made by diverse religious and cultural groups over 400 years and across continents, from the Mediterranean, England, France, America, and Polynesia. The earliest quilts were made in India and the Mediterranean for export to the west and date to the late 16th century. Examples from 18th- to 20th-century America, many made by Amish and African-American quilters, reflect the multicultural nature of American society and include boldly colored and patterned worsteds and brilliant pieced and appliquéd works of art. Grand in scope and handsomely produced, Four Centuries of Quilts: The Colonial Williamsburg Collection is sure to be one of the most useful and beloved references on quilts and quilting for years to come.

Euripides Alcestis written by Niall W. Slater and has been published by A&C Black this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2013-10-24 with Literary Criticism categories.
In the Alcestis, the title character sacrifices her own life to save that of her husband, Admetus, when he is presented with the opportunity to have someone die in his place. Alcestis compresses within itself both tragedy and its apparent reversal, staging in the process fascinating questions about gender roles, family loyalties, the nature of heroism, and the role of commemoration. Alcestis is Euripides's earliest complete work and his only surviving play from the period preceding the outbreak of the Peloponnesian War. Currently dominant post-structuralist models of Greek tragedy focus on its 'oppositional' role in the discourse of war and public values. This study challenges not only this politicised model of tragic discourse but also both traditional masculinist and more recent feminist readings of the discourse and performance of gender in this remarkable play. The play survived in the performance repertoire of antiquity into the Roman period. Euripides' version strongly influenced the reception of the myth through the middles ages into the Renaissance, and the story enjoyed a lively afterlife through opera. Alcestis' contested reception in the last two centuries charts our changing understanding of tragedy. Niall Slater's study explores the reception and afterlife of the play, as well as its main themes, the myth before the play, the play's historical and social context and the central developments in modern criticism.

*THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER* Four Hundred Souls is an epoch-defining history of African America, the first to appear in a generation, told by ninety leading Black voices -- co-curated by Ibram X.

In chronological chapters, each by a different author and spanning five years, the book charts the four-hundred-year journey of African Americans to the present - a journey defined by inhuman oppression, visionary struggles and stunning achievements.

Together - through essays and short stories, personal vignettes and fiery polemics - they redefine America and the way its history can be told.
