As an Indian man living in Britain and writing in English, Rushdie faced the challenge of writing for audiences with a wide variety of cultural backgrounds, which at once allowed him access to a huge selection of inspiration in his writing, while also limiting the amount of understanding that individual readers may take from the novel because most people will not pick up on elements of the novel that come from other backgrounds than their own. The novel is Rushdie’s first book intended for children, but it contains meanings on many levels that are accessible to different groups of readers depending on their varied experiences and ways of understanding the story. Salman Rushdie draws on both Indian and Western literary traditions in his novel Haroun and the Sea of Stories to emphasize the influential bearing that stories have on their authors and readers.

Henry Irving unveiling the memorial in Buttermarket in 1891 The committee raised funds by subscription, and held a public reading at St James's Hall involving Irving and Ellen Terry, which raised £100. James Ernest Baker of the Society wrote to the London Evening Standard newspaper on 28 July 1888 to draw attention to Marlowe's work and legacy, stating that he had "laid the foundations of English blank verse, which, in its more developed form through the medium of Shakespeare and Milton, has become the life-blood of English literature and the supreme instrument of tragic poetry." Ī committee was formed in reaction to the letter, numbering amongst its officers Sidney Lee and Frederick Rogers of the Society, the former acting as treasurer Lord Coleridge, the Lord Chief Justice of England acting as chairman and with members including poets Robert Browning, Alfred, Lord Tennyson, James Russell Lowell, Edmund Gosse, Algernon Charles Swinburne, John Addington Symonds, Andrew Lang, Alfred Austin and Henry Beeching the publisher Arthur Henry Bullen, editor Alexander Balloch Grosart, actor-manager Henry Irving writers & critics Leslie Stephen, Richard Garnett and scholars Horace Howard Furness and Francis James Child. The Marlowe Memorial at its current location near the Marlowe TheatreĪ Marlow Memorial Committee was established in 1888, arising out of a conception on the part of the Elizabethan Society of Toynbee Hall, that Marlowe, perhaps because of his reputation as an atheist, lacked the national recognition that he deserved.

Camp finished her first novel, Bonds of Love while in law school. At the same time, she began reading romance novels and decided to write one of her own. After moving to North Carolina, she took a job in the trust department of a bank.Ĭamp then began law school at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Camp began writing down her own stories when she was 10, and often wrote when she needed to relax.Ĭamp attended the University of Texas at Austin and West Texas State University before becoming a teacher in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. Writing came naturally to her-her mother had been a newspaper reporter, and her father was the business manager of the Amarillo, Texas newspaper. Biography īorn Candace Pauline Camp on in Amarillo, Texas, she is the youngest of three children born to Lula Mae (Irons) and Grady Camp. She has also published under the pen names Lisa Gregory, Sharon Stephens, Kristin James and under her maiden name Candace Camp. Candace Pauline Hopcus née Camp (in Amarillo, Texas) is an American writer of romance novels. The story told by the archaeological evidence is enhanced by historical texts, such as Julius Caesar's well-known if rather murky vision of Britain. Underlying this narrative is the story of the sea, and Cunliffe paints a fascinating picture of early ships and sails and of the surprising sophistication of early navigation. Using the most up-to-date archaeological evidence together with new work on DNA and other scientific techniques which help us to trace the origins and movements of these early settlers, Cunliffe offers a rich narrative account of the first islanders-who they were, where they came from, and how they interacted with one another. Like the myth-making Celts, we too create stories about our origins, based on what we know today.Ĭunliffe here offers readers a vision of both worlds, looking at new myths and old, as he tells the fascinating story of the origins of the British and the Irish, from around 10,000 BC to the eve of the Norman Conquest. But as Barry Cunliffe reminds us in Britain Begins, an archaeologist writing of the past must be constantly aware that the past is, in truth, unknowable. Today, ideas of our prehistoric origins are more likely based on ocean core samples, radio-carbon dating, and archeological artifacts. Synopsis: The ancient Celts believed they were descended from Father Dis (Dis Pater), a god of the dead who resided in the west where the sun set. An exceptionally pristine copy of the classic in a just-about near fine DJ. Fifteen also serves as a snapshot of the innocent spirit of America through the eyes of a teenager in the 1950s, along with poodle dresses, convertibles, the tight sweater girls, "meeting boys", and soda shops. This title is still in print thanks to Cleary's ability to write enduring characters that resonate with young people of different generations. Before Judy Blume's Forever there was Beverly Cleary's Fifteen. Its set in a suburb of a West Coast city (probably San Francisco), which has all the advantages of a small town (. DJ shows light rubbing along edges and folds otherwise fine. The book also has a marvelous sense of place. Original DJ is bright and attractive with the original now-classic cover art. Green boards are bright and clean with four sharp corners. Pages lay flat and tight in seemingly unread condition. That said, these early copies of Fifteen are scarce especially in DJ and they are just about non-existent in collectible condition. So despite the title page and copyright page both stating 1956, this is a 1962 copy. Beverly Cleary's last published title referenced is Henry and the Clubhouse, published in 1962, six years after the first printing of Fifteen. The last title on the Books by Same Author page is Two Dog Biscuits (1961). A vicious queen is hunting Akiva, and, in the skies of Eretz, something is happening. and maybe even love.īut there are bigger threats than Jael in the offing. It is a twisted version of their long-ago dream, and they begin to hope that it might forge a way forward for their people.Īnd, perhaps, for themselves. When Jael's brutal seraph army trespasses into the human world, the unthinkable becomes essential, and Karou and Akiva must ally their enemy armies against the threat. The future rests on her, if there can even be a future for the chimaera in war-ravaged Eretz. The 10th anniversary edition of the breathtaking final instalment in Laini Taylor's unmissable Sunday Times bestselling seriesīy way of a staggering deception, Karou has taken control of the chimaera rebellion and is intent on steering its course away from dead-end vengeance. Though I have been writing stories as long as I can remember, Atancia is my first novel. I love the way that books allow passage into other people’s thoughts and let me see how they view the world. I am an avid reader and rarely let a week go by without finishing at least two books. When I got to college, I decided to study writing so I could put that imagination to better use. Atty will travel the globe in search of her mother and the truth about the Durand she knows as friends. In the second installment of The Durand Duology, she’ll learn whom she can trust. Hello Guys:) I just wanted to share my thoughts on the newly released For Atancia (The Durand Duology Book 2) by Wren Figueiro! Check it out below!īlurb: In Atancia, Atty discovered what she is. "Corn on the cob," he announced to a chickadee that had just perched itself on the stalk tops high above him. He lifted his chin and closed a hand around it. Then something hard fell through the air and landed on his gut like a light punch. Bits of gravel on the narrow, dirty trail pressed into his bare back.Īs he lay there breathing hard, a crackling sound overhead startled him. He'd landed like a dead beetle, face and legs up to the clear blue sky, buttocks against a cornstalk that blockaded the path. Dust filled his nostrils as he struggled to suck in air. The body-jarring landing knocked the wind out of him. He squeezed the brakes and prepared for contact as he felt himself hurled over the handlebars. "Noooo!" he protested as his tires made it around a blind U-turn, and a dead end threatened to imprint itself on his face. Jake Evans gripped the handlebars of his BMX bike tightly and leaned into the sharp curve. His early editorial discoveries included Chuck Klosterman’s generational classics, Fargo Rock City and Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs.
