The Impassioned Escapades of Caroline W. follows the exploits of Caroline Windsor, the novel’s heroine, an educated, cultured, professional fifty-three year old woman who cannot accept the fact that she is an insignificant “nobody.” She has only one ambition and destination in life: to be famous and acclaimed by the world for some exceptional, inimitable achievement. In a race with time, she is a driven, obsessed woman, still striving for her life of FAME, GLAMOUR, GLORY, AND CELEBRITY. She wants desperately to leave this earth with her name on websites and in books, dictionaries and encyclopedias. The dream—that of a young person—relentlessly torments her, but losing it means losing her justification for existing. Believing herself only temporarily thwarted in her quest for fame, and bored with her dull existence, Caroline devises an imaginative plan to seek a TEMPORARY QUICK-FIX and SUBSTITUTE GOAL: to INDULGE IN A PASSIONATE LOVE AFFAIR WITH A YOUNG MAN who will worship her, thrill her and breathe life and fire into her sterile, conventional existence until she can finally achieve her world fame. With this plan in hand, Caroline embarks on what becomes an ELEVEN YEAR ODYSSEY OF ENCOUNTERS WITH YOUNG MEN ONLY HALF HER AGE—MEETING HUNDREDS OF YOUNG FELLOWS ON FIRST BLIND-DATES, ALONE, AT HER RITZY FIFTH AVENUE APARTMENT. What happens when an expectant, eager, young fellow enters Caroline’s apartment ... she, the older sexy woman seeking the fiery, no-strings love affair, and he, hoping to get the part? Unwittingly, Caroline begins to lose her way as she becomes entangled with and endures the most bewildering, extraordinary, offbeat cast of characters in a series of dark, enigmatic events. In a succession of powerful vignettes, Caroline becomes involved with a B & D talent agent, a gorgeous, young confirmed alcoholic, an elegant and smooth-talking American Airlines pilot, a sneaky house-painter, a Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde nephrologists, an apprehensive, married old geezer, a “prosecuting-Caroline” attorney, a famous smut peddler, a strangler-marine, a myriad of physically ill and diseased men, the FBI, an obsessed stalker, a fanatical graduate student, her threatening landlord and his evicting lawyers, her snooty neighbors, and a circus of other center-ring, bizarre characters. But the questions remains. Does Caroline ever find her fame or is she waylaid, tangled in the ecstasy, turmoil, thrills, and sheer recklessness of all her young, impetuous lovers? The book is a light-hearted, delicious romp of SUPER-DRAMATIC TALES with unique, philosophical and psychological insights into love, sex, life, and the continual turbulence between the sexes.

Caroline Blackwood was born into the Guinness family in 1931, the daughter of the Fourth Marquess and Marchioness of Dufferin and Ava. Brought up on the ancestral estate in Northern Ireland, Blackwood moved easily among the Anglo-Irish aristocracy, the Soho bohemians of postwar England, and the liberal intelligentsia of 1960s New York. She was on intimate terms with some of the most celebrated artists and writers of her time. An unpredictable beauty known for her wit and her courage, she has been called a muse to genius. But her marriages to three brilliant men: the painter Lucian Freud, the composer Israel Citkowitz, and the poet Robert Lowell were as troubled as they were inspiring. During her marriage to Lucian Freud, Caroline became part of an artistic and literary group that included Francis Bacon and Cyril Connolly who was infatuated with her but eventually Freud's gambling caused irrevocable problems between them. Caroline was also in the grips of her own unfolding tragedy: a fatal attraction to alcohol that would plague the rest of her life. Upon the breakup of her first marriage, she moved to America , where she met her second and third husbands. Once regarded as the obvious successor to Aaron Copland, Israel Citkowitz had stopped composing long before he met Caroline. While he and Caroline had three children together, it was her subsequent seven year marriage to Robert Lowell that she considered her "main marriage." Her life with Lowell was probably the most difficult time of her life as she dealt with his increasingly frequent and worsening attacks of mania. And to Lowell she was not only an inspiration but_as he described in his Pulitzer-prize- winning book of verse The Dolphin, she was also "a mermaid who dines upon the bones of her winded lovers." In 1977, Robert Lowell fled London to return to his former wife Elizabeth Hardwick. He died from a heart attack in the backseat of a taxi, clutching Girl in Bed, Lucian Freud's haunting portrait of Caroline. Blackwood was an artist in her own right. Her literary talents were dark and satiric; her ten books of fiction and nonfiction betrayed an extraordinary eye for human physiognomy, attire, and behavior. Arguably her best book, Great Granny Webster described the comic terrors of her upbringing in Northern Ireland, and was shortlisted for the Booker Prize. She herself died of cancer on Valentine's Day 1996, at the age of sixty-four. Dangerous Muse is the first biography of Lady Caroline Blackwood. Drawing upon numerous interviews and unpublished letters from Blackwood's mother, Maureen Dufferin, and friends and family, including Andrew Harvey, Jonathan Raban, John Richardson, and Caroline's sister Perdita Blackwood, Nancy Schoenberger eloquently captures one of the most original and provocative figures in contemporary letters of the twentieth century.

In the quiet seaside town of Inverley, nothing exciting ever happens to gently bred spinsters like Miss Arabella Seton. Content with her watercolor paintings and her cats, she is confident that no one suspects her forbidden and unrequited passion for her best friend, Caroline. The eldest in a family of six children, Miss Caroline Reeve has the unenviable task of shepherding her siblings into adulthood with little coin and even less patience. The only benefit to being an eternal chaperone is that no one ever expects her to marry. When the Reeve family inherits an unexpected fortune, Caroline must take her rightful place in high society. Fortune hunters abound, and it is up to Arabella to save her from their snares and convince her that love has been in front of her all along. Can the heiress and the spinster discover an unconventional love outside of the Marriage Mart?

Built in the fifth century b.c., the Parthenon has been venerated for more than two millennia as the West’s ultimate paragon of beauty and proportion. Since the Enlightenment, it has also come to represent our political ideals, the lavish temple to the goddess Athena serving as the model for our most hallowed civic architecture. But how much do the values of those who built the Parthenon truly correspond with our own? And apart from the significance with which we have invested it, what exactly did this marvel of human hands mean to those who made it? In this revolutionary book, Joan Breton Connelly challenges our most basic assumptions about the Parthenon and the ancient Athenians. Beginning with the natural environment and its rich mythic associations, she re-creates the development of the Acropolis—the Sacred Rock at the heart of the city-state—from its prehistoric origins to its Periklean glory days as a constellation of temples among which the Parthenon stood supreme. In particular, she probes the Parthenon’s legendary frieze: the 525-foot-long relief sculpture that originally encircled the upper reaches before it was partially destroyed by Venetian cannon fire (in the seventeenth century) and most of what remained was shipped off to Britain (in the nineteenth century) among the Elgin marbles. The frieze’s vast enigmatic procession—a dazzling pageant of cavalrymen and elders, musicians and maidens—has for more than two hundred years been thought to represent a scene of annual civic celebration in the birthplace of democracy. But thanks to a once-lost play by Euripides (the discovery of which, in the wrappings of a Hellenistic Egyptian mummy, is only one of this book’s intriguing adventures), Connelly has uncovered a long-buried meaning, a story of human sacrifice set during the city’s mythic founding. In a society startlingly preoccupied with cult ritual, this story was at the core of what it meant to be Athenian. Connelly reveals a world that beggars our popular notions of Athens as a city of staid philosophers, rationalists, and rhetoricians, a world in which our modern secular conception of democracy would have been simply incomprehensible. The Parthenon’s full significance has been obscured until now owing in no small part, Connelly argues, to the frieze’s dismemberment. And so her investigation concludes with a call to reunite the pieces, in order that what is perhaps the greatest single work of art surviving from antiquity may be viewed more nearly as its makers intended. Marshalling a breathtaking range of textual and visual evidence, full of fresh insights woven into a thrilling narrative that brings the distant past to life, The Parthenon Enigma is sure to become a landmark in our understanding of the civilization from which we claim cultural descent.
