Anti-Pamela; or Feign'd Innocence Detected

Eliza Haywood

Beschreibung

In "Anti-Pamela; or Feign'd Innocence Detected," Eliza Haywood crafts a satirical response to Samuel Richardson's "Pamela," addressing the themes of virtue, seduction, and the complexities of female agency in the early 18th century. Employing a deft use of irony and vivid characterizations, Haywood's narrative follows the misadventures of a young woman whose pretense of innocence acts as both a defense and an invitation to manipulation. The book is rich in dialogue and social commentary, effectively capturing the cultural anxieties surrounding women's morality and the societal pressures they navigate. Eliza Haywood was a prominent author during the rise of the novel, known for her keen insights into gender dynamics and her critiques of contemporary literature. A prolific writer, Haywood's experiences as a woman in a male-dominated publishing industry inevitably informed her creative choices. Her engagement with the themes of innocence and deception reflects not only her awareness of the societal expectations placed on women but also a profound understanding of their struggles for autonomy and expression in a rapidly evolving literary landscape. "Anti-Pamela" is essential reading for those interested in feminist literature, satire, and the evolution of the novel form. Haywood's sharp wit and keen observations provide an indispensable counterpoint to Richardson's work and open a dialogue about the nature of virtue and authenticity. Scholars and casual readers alike will find this work a compelling exploration of the intersections of gender and narrative in the 18th century.

Inconvenient Minority An - The...

Kenny Xu

Even in the midst of a nationwide surge of bias and incidents, Asians from coast to coast have quietly assumed mastery of the nation's technical and intellectual machinery and become essential American workers. Yet, they've been forced to do so in the face of policy proposals—written in the name of diversity—excluding them from the upper ranks of the elite. 
 
 
 
Journalist Kenny Xu traces elite America's longstanding unease about a minority potentially upending them. Leftist agendas, such as eliminating standardized testing and lumping Asians into "privileged" categories have spurred Asian Americans to act. 
 
 
 
Going beyond the Students for Fair Admission (SFFA) v. Harvard case, Xu unearths the skewed logic rippling countrywide, from former Mayor Bill de Blasio's attempted makeover of New York City's Specialized School programs to the battle over "diversity" quotas in Google's and Facebook's progressive epicenters, to the rise of Asian American activism. 
 
 
 
An Inconvenient Minority chronicles the political and economic repression and renaissance of a long ignored racial identity group—and how they are central to reversing America's cultural decline and preserving the dynamism of the free world.

Alfian Sa'at, Faris Joraimi, Sai...

Why did independent Singapore celebrate two hundred years of its founding as a British colony in 2019? What does Merdeka mean for Singaporeans? And what are the possibilities of doing decolonial history in Singapore? Raffles Renounced: Towards a Merdeka History presents essays by historians, literary scholars and artists which grapple with these questions. The volume also reproduces some of the source material used in the play Merdeka / 獨立 / சுதந்திரம் (Wild Rice, 2019). Taken together, the book shows how the contradictions of independent nationhood haunt Singaporeans' collective and personal stories about Merdeka. It points to the need for a Merdeka history: an open and fearless culture of historical reckoning that not only untangles us from colonial narratives, but proposes emancipatory possibilities.

FLYING SAUCERS - A Modern Myth...

C. G. Jung

Brought to you by Altrusian Grace Media and narrated by Matthew Schmitz. Jung's primary concern in Flying Saucers is not with the reality or unreality of UFOs but with their psychic aspect. Rather than speculate about their possible nature and extraterrestrial origin as alleged spacecraft, he asks what it may signify that these phenomena, whether real or imagined, are seen in such numbers just at a time when humankind is menaced as never before in history. The UFOs represent, in Jung's phrase, "a modern myth."
