  Frankenstein Retold Inclusively

  Mary Shelley, Kath Shone

  • 0

  Frankenstein was written in the Romantic literary period. The literary trend of the early 1800s produced poems that described how nature elevated and blissed human minds. Most literary work at this time was written and published by men. 
  In amongst these ecstatic reveries of nature, the 19 year old, Mary Shelley wedged the chilling story of Frankenstein into the literary landscape and our minds forever. 
  Her story filled an empty space in humankind's collective consciousness. That empty space was waiting for this story of over-reaching scientific madness. 
  This version of Frankenstein is a translation not an abridged telling. I have translated the Old Romantic era English into easy-to-read accessible English. 
  • The same characters say the same things at the same times in the story. 
  • Plot point for plot point the story stays the same. 
  • The themes are all preserved. 
  • The transcendent and brutal settings of the story are still on the pages. 
  • References to poems and other literature are explained. 
  • Supplementary information supports understanding of the text. 
  This book is for 
  • humans who like to read archetypal literature in easy-to-read language, 
  • neuro-diverse readers, 
  • young readers, 
  • English second language speakers, 
  • English literature students who need a study guide to unravel the original Frankenstein. 
  • anyone (I think that's most of us) who finds old English inaccessible but would like to read Frankenstein. 
  This accessible Frankenstein is part of Inclusive Books (Inc!Bs) journey to rewrite history inclusively.

  And let myself fly 
  To the land beyond 
  That which we know 
  An infinite space 
  To learn and grow

  100 Great Catholic Poems

  Sally Read

  Poetry is the language of Catholicism. From the songs of Scripture to the hymns of St. Thomas Aquinas, the Church has always used metaphor and image, meter and rhyme, and the music of language to illuminate and inculcate the faith.  Yet, when it comes to Catholic poetry itself, the song too often remains unsung. Many devout believers recoil from poetry, even when it is deeply Catholic. Many poetry lovers overlook Catholic poetry, even when it is truly great. And passionate readers are left with few resources from which to draw inspiration—even as the number of great Catholic poems continues to grow. This groundbreaking collection is designed to change that. Edited by acclaimed poet and author Sally Read, it includes a carefully curated collection of poetry with brief essays to introduce each selection; a detailed introduction and glossary of poetic terms; and a wide range of poetic voices—from giants like Dante and Shakespeare, to mystical saints like Hildegard of Bingen and John of the Cross, to modern masters like Gerard Manley Hopkins and Oscar Wilde, to contemporary female poets like Denise Levertov and Anne Porter. What emerges is truly universal: an unparalleled collection spanning twenty countries and twenty centuries. Whether Catholic or non-Catholic, a poetry skeptic or a poetry lover, readers will glean from these pages a deepened appreciation of the history of poetry, the life of the Church, and the powerful ways in which each strengthens the other.

  The Poetry of Charlotte Perkins...

  Charlotte Perkins Gilman

  Charlotte Perkins Gilman was born on the 3rd July 1860 in Hartford, Connecticut, to an unaffectionate mother and a father who abandoned her and her older brother to a life of poverty. 
   
  Inevitably her schooling was limited and by 15 she had attended seven different schools but received only four years of education.  However, Charlotte was resourceful and did spend time with her father’s aunts – the suffragist Isabella Beecher Hooker and the ‘Uncle Tom Cabin’s’ author, Harriet Beecher Stowe as well as many hours at the public library studying ancient civilizations. 
   
  In 1878, she enrolled in classes at the Rhode Island School of Design where she met Martha Luther and they developed a close relationship until Luther married another woman in 1881.  Charlotte was devastated and detested romance and love until she met and married the artist Charles Walter Stetson.  
   
  Their only child, Katharine Beecher Stetson, was born in 1885 but left Charlotte with post-natal depression, then often dismissed as a case of hysteria or nerves.  Unsuited to domestic life she ruptured her life and moved to California with Katherine.  She divorced in 1894 and then sent Katharine east to live with her father and his second wife confirming that his paternal rights be acknowledged, and that Katherine establish a relationship with her father. 
   
  After her mother died in 1893, Charlotte moved back east and became involved with her first cousin, Wall Street attorney, Houghton Gilman who she married in 1900.  After his death she moved back to California, where Katherine now lived.   
   
  In this volume we bring her extensive poetry writings to the fore.  Her talents in the poetic arena are indisputable, bringing a brave and focused eye to a world of her words that is too often neglected.  
   
  Charlotte lectured widely for social reform, wrote important non-fiction works that questioned our patriarchal system and left a legacy as a leading and positive spokesperson for feminism.  
   
  She was diagnosed with incurable breast cancer in 1932 and, as she wrote in her suicide note and autobiography, she ‘chose chloroform over cancer’    
   
  Charlotte Perkins Gilman took her own life on the 17th August 1935, aged 75, in Pasadena, California.

  Lord Byron - Selected Poems

  Lord Byron

  • 0

  The epitome of the Romantic literary hero, Lord Byron was as well-known in his time for the revolutionary panache with which he lived as for his extremely popular verse. “As a myth,” wrote Bertrand Russell, “his importance, especially on the continent, was enormous.” His many tempestuous relationships were the subject of scandal which only added to his celebrity. His name has even entered into our language to describe a man of deep passion and defiance. 
  Satirical, shocking, romantic, and dramatic, Byron’s poetry is replete with witticisms, surprise rhymes, and editorial comment. 
  Poems in this collection include: 1. From “Don Juan” 2. From “English Bards and Scotch Reviewers” 3. “The Destruction of Sennacherib” 4. “She Walks in Beauty” 5. “Remember Thee! Remember Thee!” 6. “To Thomas Moore” 7. “So, We’ll Go No More a Roving” 8. “Epigrams” 9. “Churchill’s Grave” 10. “Epistle to Augusta” 11. “Lines on Hearing That Lady Byron Was Ill” 12. “Beppo” 13. “The Vision of Judgment” 14. “The Spell Is Broke, the Charm Is Flown!”
