Madly was a title that Jen H from Lost in a Great Book and Cristine from Padsfoot’s Library picked out for me, when I asked Twitter to vote on which book I should read and review next. (The other book if you guys are curious was A Step Towards Falling by Cammie McGovern). Anyways what made me curious when it came to Madly was the fact that Amy Alvard is also the author of The Oathbreaker’s Shadow (Amy McCulloch was her maiden name), a book which I thoroughly enjoyed. Additionally the premise sounded

others(“Hope Leslie”-Plot Summary). Overall, the book was aimed to show racial hierarchies, gender roles and limits, and an inner sense of morality. I think these themes show who Sedgwick was as a person, and that shows that she believed in equality between women and men, and also believed in others beliefs/religions.     Sedgwick was not the only American novelist who wrote about these things, other writers such as James Fenimore Cooper also wrote about romance and lifestyles/relationships between the

when compared to the standards of today’s society. The play incorporates some of the very same devices that are used in modern comedies today, such as topsy-turvy romance, foolery, and mistaken identities. Twelfth Night also involves many cultural aspects that would be tough for an audience today to relate with. Some of these ideas are social class, dialect, and lack of modern technology that affect

The Romance Novel Marriage From the moment they saw each other they knew they were the perfect pair. They knew instantly that the other was their soul mate. It was love at first sight.

Post-Modern Victorian: A. S. Byatt's Possession If I had read A. S. Byatt's novel Possession without having had British Literature, a lot of the novel's meaning, analogies, and literary mystery would have been lost to me. The entire book seems one big reference back to something we've learned or read this May term.

the village of La Mancha with his neice, his house- keeper, and a handy man. He gave up hunting and taking care of his estate to satisfy his passion of reading books of chivalry.

IR Book Review I chose the book, The Season, because I saw it on the shelve on the library and it said it was a new book so I decided to check it out. When I went to go check it out, I read the flap of the book, and it definitely caught my attention. So, I checked it out for 3 weeks. My first impression was the cover; it had a girl on it in a stained pink dress while the rest of the girls were wearing white, that caught my attention because the girl stood out from the crowd, and was different.
