A Victorian finishing school where snooty dukes' daughters are tamed... Born on the wrong side of the blanket, Sally switches places with her half-sister to sneak her way into a rigorous finishing school meant only for highborn young ladies. The eighteen-year-old beauty pictures herself drinking tea with her pinkie stuck out whilst husband-hunting in high society. Lady Savannah's eagerness to swap places with a mere housemaid like Sally should have served as fair warning. And yet the harsh realities of school discipline come as a shock. New headmaster Gerard believes in the power of domestic discipline to transform spoiled young ladies into proper young wives. The new girl needs strict correction, but he's eager to prove himself to her influential father. That spirited hussy will be whipped into shape as a marriageable young lady if it's the last thing he ever does. At this school, both Sally and Gerard have a lot to learn. And they'd better learn it fast-- before they lose their hearts. This full-length Victorian historical romance novel includes a stern headmaster with a firm hand, a spunky maid who transforms herself into a lady, domestic discipline and school discipline scenes, and hissable villains including the mean-girl bullies you'd expect. Note: This is a finishing school for Victorian ladies who are guilty of bad behavior by the strict standards of the day. All characters are age 18 or older. If domestic discipline scenes for pleasure or punishment trigger you, please choose a different book.

Three complete, full-length Victorian historical novels. Three spunky young women determined to rise above the painful challenges of a strict society to find their happily ever after.

To protect the lady's reputation, Alfred Conley backs up the story in public―but he exacts his price in private. Any wife of his must be subject to domestic discipline, and he does not tolerate lies. The Duke's Daughter's Devious Double: A Victorian Switched Identities Romance: Born on the wrong side of the blanket, Sally switches places with her half-sister to sneak her way into a rigorous finishing school meant only for highborn young ladies. New headmaster Gerard believes in the power of domestic discipline to transform spoiled duke's daughters into proper young wives. But, in Sally, he may have met his match. Deceit and Discipline: A Victorian Lady in Disguise Heist Novel: Dolly Hughes is a mistress of disguise. When she poses as a mere snip of a maid to find a rare diamond, she becomes subject to an isolated manor's strange domestic discipline practices.

Unlock the more straightforward side of King Lear with this concise and insightful summary and analysis! This engaging summary presents an analysis of King Lear by William Shakespeare, a tragic tale about the consequences of betrayal and ambition. The titular character, King Lear, makes the mistake of dividing his entire kingdom between his scheming elder daughters, Goneril and Regan, who are actively plotting against him, while disinheriting his loyal youngest daughter, Cordelia. Stripped of power and rapidly descending into madness, Lear is left to wander the barren heath with only his Fool for company, while the country he once ruled tears itself apart in a bloody civil war. King Lear is generally recognised as Shakespeare’s most nihilistic work, but has also been hailed as his greatest tragedy, and has been performed consistently since it was first written in the early 17th century.

Even as a canon, he lived in princely style, with a retinue of two knights and forty squires, and he wrote at the request of John of Hainault, the uncle of queen Philippa. He was thus able to draw directly on the verbal accounts of the Crécy campaign given to him by soldiers from Hainault who had fought on both sides; and his description of warfare in Scotland is the most realistic account of what it was like to be on campaign that survives from this period.

Some of the most influential and interesting people in the world are fictional. Sherlock Holmes, Huck Finn, Pinocchio, Anna Karenina, Genji, and Superman, to name a few, may not have walked the Earth (or flown, in Superman's case), but they certainly stride through our lives. They influence us personally: as childhood friends, catalysts to our dreams, or even fantasy lovers. Peruvian author and presidential candidate Mario Vargas Llosa, for one, confessed to a lifelong passion for Flaubert's Madame Bovary. Characters can change the world. Witness the impact of Solzhenitsyn's Ivan Denisovich, in exposing the conditions of the Soviet Gulag, or Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom, in arousing anti-slavery feeling in America. Words such as quixotic, oedipal, and herculean show how fictional characters permeate our language. This list of the Fictional 100 ranks the most influential fictional persons in world literature and legend, from all time periods and from all over the world, ranging from Shakespeare's Hamlet [1] to Toni Morrison's Beloved [100]. By tracing characters' varied incarnations in literature, art, music, and film, we gain a sense of their shape-shifting potential in the culture at large. Although not of flesh and blood, fictional characters have a life and history of their own. Meet these diverse and fascinating people. From the brash Hercules to the troubled Holden Caulfield, from the menacing plots of Medea to the misguided schemes of Don Quixote, The Fictional 100 runs the gamut of heroes and villains, young and old, saints and sinners. Ponder them, fall in love with them, learn from their stories the varieties of human experience--let them live in you.

Continuing the romantic multigenerational saga by a New York Times–bestselling author whose novels have sold over 100 million copies. Saraband for Two Sisters: Set in seventeenth-century England, Carr’s novel follows the twin daughters of Tamsyn Pennlyon—Angelet and Bersaba Landor—who couldn’t be more different. Angelet is sweet, gentle, and submissive. Bersaba is secretive, sensual, and headstrong. When the sisters are separated by forces beyond their control, Bersaba’s life takes a dark turn. After years apart, the twins are reunited within the echoing halls of Far Flamstead. As Angelet finds herself at the mercy of the manor’s secret past, Bersaba gives in to a perilous temptation. She will risk everything—even her life—for the love of one man. Lament for a Lost Lover: Under the sway of the puritanical Oliver Cromwell, England simmers with religious persecution and political unrest. Like their exiled king, Arabella Tolworthy and her parents have retreated to France but yearn for their native country. When Arabella is separated from her family, she makes her way alone in an increasingly dangerous world and meets two people who will change her life: an actress named Harriet Main and the dashing nobleman Edwin Eversleigh. The Love Child: As Restoration England continues to be torn apart by political and religious turmoil, fourteen-year-old Priscilla Eversleigh gives herself to fugitive Jocelyn Frinton in a moment of youthful passion. Desperate to conceal her shameful secret, Priscilla journeys to Venice, where her illegitimate daughter, Carlotta, is passed off to another woman—and a conspiracy is born. But Priscilla’s past will haunt her in the decades to come. As fortune-hunters circle, Carlotta becomes a pawn in a twisted game of greed and revenge. Now Priscilla must make the ultimate sacrifice—even if it costs her the man she loves—which will shape not only Carlotta’s future, but also the lives of the generations of Eversleigh women to come.

How the death of a childless monarch sparked a bloody conflict that raged across Europe and beyond. The War of the Spanish Succession, fought between 1701 and 1714 to decide who should inherit the Spanish throne, was a conflict on an unprecedented scale, stretching across most of western Europe, the high seas, and the Americas. Yet this major subject is not well known and little understood. James Falkner's absorbing new study fills that gap. In a clear and perceptive narrative, he describes and analyzes the complex political maneuvers and a series of military campaigns, which also involved the threat posed by Ottoman Turks in the east and Sweden and Russia in the north. Fighting took place not just in Europe but in the Americas and Canada, and on the high seas. All European powers, large and small, were involved—France, Spain, Great Britain, Holland, Austria and Portugal were the major players. The end result of over a decade of outright war was a French prince firmly established on the throne in Madrid and a division of the old Spanish empire. More notably though, French power, previously so dominant, was curbed for almost ninety years.

Shakespeare in Hollywood, Asia, and Cyberspace shows readers how ideas of Asia operate in Shakespeare performances and how Asian and Anglo-European forms of cultural production combine to transcend the mode of inquiry that focuses on fidelity. The result is a new creativity that finds expression in different cultural and virtual locations, including recent films and massively multiplayer online games such as Arden: The World of Shakespeare. The papers in this volume provide a background for these modern developments showing the history of how Shakespeare became a signifier against which Asian and Western cultures definedand continue to definethemselves. Hollywood films, and a century of Asian readings of plays such as Hamlet and Macbeth, are now conjoining in cyberspace making a world of difference in how we experience Shakespeare. The papers, written by experts in the field, provide an introduction to the diverse incarnations and bold sequences of screen and stage that in recent decades have produced new versions of Shakespeare's great comedies and tragedies and new ways of experiencing them. Authors, in the first part of the collection, examine body politics and race in Hollywood Shakespearean films andfilm techniques. It complements the second part of the book, in which the history of Shakespearean readings and stagings in China, Indonesia, Cambodia, Japan, Okinawa, Taiwan, Malaya, Korea, and Hong Kong are discussed. Papers in the third part of the volume contain analyses of the transformation of the idea of Shakespeare in cyberspace, a rapidly expanding world of new rewritings of both Shakespeare and Asia. Together, the three sections of this comparative study show how Asian cultures and Shakespeare affect each other, how one culture is translated to anoth
