Kincaid Jamaica: Putting Myself Together

Putting Myself Together

An evocative celebration of the seventh day in all its rich variety

Travels Through the Day of Rest

Sunday Best

Life’s stories are always prone to disruption and digression, thwarting the neat storybook narrative we love so much.
Almost all of our stories follow the same basic pattern: beginning, middle, end: exposition, action and climax. It’s a neat and tidy way of telling a story. But life’s not like that, is it? Life is not neat and tidy, it doesn’t obey the rules. Life’s stories—like the stories told here in But, personal and impersonal, historical and contemporary—are punctuated by disruption, derailment, and digression.
Stories where the good guys lose. Stories where the bad girls win. Stories that just stop in the middle. Stories that fizzle out or simply never get going. Stories that don’t make sense. Stories that start where they should end and end where they start. Stories that go round in a cyclical loop, forever. Unfinished stories. Unstarted stories. Stories that stutter and mumble, that cough and splutter.
That’s what we have here in this book: real stories, that do all of the above. That’s why this book is called But. Because the but is there to disrupt the easy normality of the way we tell our stories. This book is a collection of stories about real lives, real people, and real life. Stuttering, wayward, disjointed, funny, ridiculous, and unplanned.

Living Peacefully

Routledge Research in Gender and Art

A provocative letter from a prominent eighteenth-century British noblewoman, Henrietta Howard, to her close friend Mary Hervey is a rare survivor of the informal, collaborative satires created by court women in this period. This particular June 1729 artifact contains a witty and light-hearted list of imaginary portraits, most of which refer to a notable political figure through references to specific paintings, sculptures, engravings, ceramics, textiles and book illustrations. Through a close reading of archival manuscripts, published correspondences and art historical treatises, Eric Weichel explores the cultural milieu and historical legacy of this remarkable text. Constrained by strict standards of moral propriety, the writer's overt discussions of sexuality in this letter are encoded through a system of embedded jokes and mythological references. Weichel argues that through Lady Hervey's mention of popular works of art, such as the Hampton Court tapestry cartoons by Raphael, the 'Jupiter and Ganymede' motif in country house décor, or the illustrated fables of Jean de La Fontaine, she alludes specifically to her wider circle's knowledge of adultery, queerness, sexual violence, and divorce among their peer group. In her imaginary portraits, Hervey also shows an interest in feminist education and literature, political and religious patronage, and contemporary news events.

An Eighteenth-Century Lady-in-Waiting’s 'Collection of Pictures'

Art, Sex and Politics at the Early Georgian Court

This book offers a nuanced analysis of the ways in which Egyptian and British novels represent the Egyptian nationalist project in its struggle against British hegemony in the aftermath of two revolutions: the 1881-82 Urabi Revolution, known for inaugurating the British occupation of Egypt, and the 1919 Revolution celebrated in Egyptian national memory as the classic Egyptian revolution par excellence. Reading the novels against the grain, the study recovers female voices that are multiply marginalized, due to their gender and/or ethnicity, whether by colonial imperial powers, the nation, their immediate regional community or, finally, by the works under discussion themselves. Using a comparative lens, the study foregrounds the ways in which the authors confirm, critique, rewrite/revise, or reject developmental narratives. Female Voices and Egyptian Independence pays particular attention to women that range from the uneducated black slave, to the uneducated rural Siwan woman with artistic talent, to the wealthy cultured Coptic housewife, to the rising late nineteenth-century British female professional, and finally to the eclipsed twentieth-century Egyptian female national intellectual, all of whom play crucial roles in the journeys of the respective male protagonists, and by extension, the Egyptian national project.

NIV Study Bible, Fully Revised Edition

HIGHLY COMMENDED FOR THE WAINWRIGHT PRIZE FOR NATURE WRITING 2024 'An invigorating cross-pollination of memoir and natural history, both beautifully phrased and delicately structured - this book deserves your time and attention' Cal Flyn, author of Islands of Abandonment Born in Canada to a Taiwanese mother and a Welsh father, Jessica J. Lee is a perfectly placed observer of our world in motion. In Dispersals, she examines the echoes and counterpoints in the migration of plants and people - and the language we use to describe them. Combining memoir, history and scientific research, Lee questions how both plants and people come to belong - or not - and reveals how all our futures are more entwined than we might imagine. 'Contemplative, elegant' New Statesman 'At once expansive and intimate, and most of all, gorgeously written. This is a book I will return to often over the course of my life' Nina Mingya Powles, author of Small Bodies of Water

On Plants, Borders and Belonging

Spanning four decades of writing--and including never-before-seen poems--The Essential C.D. Wright carries the reverence and wisecracking lyricism of poems that reshaped American poetry. The Essential C.D. Wright, with a moving introduction by Forrest Gander, gathers rare selections from across her entire oeuvre--from the first book, Room Rented by a Single Woman (1978), through the final collection, Shall Cross, which was in production at the time of her unexpected death in 2016. It also presents readers with the very first look at a remarkable selection of works that have been entirely unpublished until now. Tracing a writing life that spans more than four decades, this collection illuminates works that remain empowered by an unrelenting independence, a reverence for mentors, and wry wisecracking lyricism. It is a powerful entry in Copper Canyon's revered Essential series, which has provided reader-friendly editions of some of contemporary poetry's most important voices.C.D. Wright introduced a contemporary audience to the promise and power of docupoetics, while pushing the musical boundaries of vernacular speech and reshaping American poetry. Formally restless and energetic, The Essential C.D. Wright stands as a staple in the larger poetic landscape.

The Essential C.D. Wright

Can we become fluent in the language of friendship?When writer and academic Rachel Benoit experienced a friendship break-up, she realised we have endless guides to help us navigate our our romantic lives, our personalities, and even our working styles. But friendship - in spite of its huge importance - has been curiously neglected, until now. Out of this experience she developed The Friendship Wheel, a new language for our closest relationships. The idea is simple: a wheel of six colours representing six friendship dynamics through which we can unlock more nuanced conversations about friendship and a greater understanding of how our social worlds work - and learn how to make these fundamental relationships better and more meaningful. Benoit combines her new theory with warm and witty real-life stories of every kind of relationship, from new friend to best friend. At once extraordinarily simple and completely revelatory, The Friendship Wheel is the gateway to more meaningful conversations, and will change how you think about friendship forever - and for the better.
