A wryly comic memoir that examines the pillars of New England WASP culture—class, history, family, money, envy, perfection, and, of course, real estate—through the lens of mothers and daughters. At eighteen, Sarah Payne Stuart fled her mother and all the other disapproving mothers of her too perfect hometown of Concord, Massachusetts, only to return years later when she had children of her own. Whether to defy the previous generation or finally earn their approval and enter their ranks, she hurled herself into upper-crust domesticity full throttle. In the twenty years Stuart spent back in her hometown—in a series of ever more magnificent houses in ever grander neighborhoods—she was forced to connect with the cultural tradition of guilt and flawed parenting of a long legacy of local, literary women from Emerson’s wife, to Hawthorne’s, to the most famous and imposing of them all, Louisa May Alcott’s iconic, guilt-tripping Marmee. When Stuart’s own mother dies, she realizes that there is no one left to approve or disapprove. And so, with her suddenly grown children fleeing as she herself once did, Stuart leaves her hometown for the final time, bidding good-bye to the cozy ideals invented for her by Louisa May Alcott so many years ago, which may or may not ever have been based in reality.

George Moore's 'Vain Fortune' masterfully delves into the psychological labyrinth of its central character, Hubert Price, an aspiring writer grappling with his creative process and the harsh realities of his existence. Expressed with a compelling narrative that oscillates between intense self-reflection and stark social observations, Moore's prose excavates the depths of human ambition and melancholy. As readers navigate through Hubert's internal and external struggles, they encounter the lush literary style of the late 19th century, typified by its elaborate prose and existential introspection, positioning the novel against the broader backdrop of Modernist literature. Moore, an esteemed figure of his era, writes with profound intimacy about the writer's plight, possibly reflecting his own encounters with literary production and the emotional vicissitudes that accompany it. This Irish novelist's background in naturalism and his commitment to exploring the veracities of the human condition are evident in this work, which echoes the complexities of his own life and the broader sociocultural dynamics of the late Victorian period. His firsthand understanding of the artistic struggle imparts an element of authenticity to Hubert's character, making the story resonate with anyone familiar with the creative process. 'Vain Fortune' is highly recommended for readers who are drawn to character-driven narratives that articulate the tumultuous journey of artistic pursuit. It will appeal particularly to those interested in the psychological terrain navigated by artists and the intersection of life's banalities with the lofty aspirations of the creative spirit. Moore's richly textured storytelling serves as both a captivating exploration of one man's quest for artistic achievement and a reflection on the universal themes of ambition, adversity, and the human desire for meaning. This novel promises to engage the intellect and emotions, revealing as much about its creator as it does about the collective dreams of those who dare to imagine.

Five years ago, Ellie Smith, then known as Lady Elise Kempshaw, fled her tyrant of a brother and the significantly older man she was to marry. Arriving in London, Elise manages to find work as a serving girl at the infamous gaming hell, Dionysus. There she is brought face to face with the sort of man she always wished to marry – the notorious Lord Richard Haywood. Lord Stag himself! If only he weren’t so far above her touch. Brooding and grouchy, Lord Richard Haywood believes himself content to manage his gaming hell and play the role of the aloof, unobtainable Lord Stag during Dionysus’ weekly masquerade balls. However, thoughts of a pretty, curvy serving girl with a spirited streak constantly fill his mind. Except that his own rules prevent him from dallying with the staff, drat it all, anyway! One night, passions between Richard and Elise flare, and one kiss leads to another. Until her brother arrives demanding that Richard hand over Elise. Otherwise. he’ll have Dionysus closed. Secreting Elise away to his country estate, Richard believes that he can keep both Elise and Dionysus safe from her brother until everything is sorted out and life can return to normal. Will the avowed bachelor find that keeping the delightful Lady Elise out of his bed as easy as he assumes? Or will Elise prove more than a match for the avowed bachelor? Find out in His for the Night, the twenty-fifth novel in the Tales from Seldon Park series! This 91,700-word novel is written in the modern, Regency romance style for a slightly hotter and sexier read. It may not be appropriate for younger audiences.

Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758) is widely regarded as one of the major thinkers in the Christian tradition and an important and influential figure in American theology. After Jonathan Edwards is a collection of specially commissioned essays that track his intellectual legacies from the work of his immediate disciples that formed the New Divinity movement in colonial New England, to his impact upon European traditions and modern Asia. It is a unique interdisciplinary contribution to the reception of Edwardsian ideas, with scholars of Edwards being brought together with scholars of New England theology and early American history to produce a groundbreaking examination of the ways in which New England Theology flourished, how themes in Edwards's thought were taken up and changed by representatives of the school, and its lasting influence on the shape of American Christianity.
