Sinopsis

Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell’s Cranford is a charming and heartfelt portrayal of village life in early Victorian England. First published in 1853, this beloved classic immerses readers in the quaint town of Cranford, where social etiquette, modest comforts, and gentle gossip shape the daily lives of its residents. With wit and warmth, Gaskell masterfully captures the spirit of a close-knit community bound by tradition and friendship.     At the heart of Cranford are the formidable yet kind-hearted women who hold the village together. Led by the gentle and steadfast Miss Matty Jenkyns, they face life’s challenges with grace, humor, and quiet resilience. Whether coping with financial hardships, supporting neighbors in need, or adjusting to unexpected changes, the women of Cranford embody strength and compassion. Gaskell’s keen eye for detail and her affectionate portrayal of human nature make every character feel real and relatable, creating a vivid tapestry of village life.     Though the story is lighthearted and often humorous, Cranford subtly addresses themes of social change and class distinction as the industrial age begins to alter rural traditions. Gaskell’s nuanced storytelling not only highlights the small joys and sorrows of village living but also reflects on the enduring power of kindness and community in the face of change. This Classicus edition preserves the beauty and warmth of Gaskell’s writing, offering modern readers a timeless escape into a world where simple pleasures and human connection prevail.

    A Room of One's Own

    Virginia Woolf

    "A Room of One's Own" began life as a pair of lectures delivered by Virginia Woolf in October 1928 at Newnham College and Girton College, women's colleges at the University of Cambridge and was published as a stand-alone book in 1929. In this brilliant examination of literature, history and gender discrimination, Woolf posits that the dearth of female writers in literature did not result from a lack of talent; it was the lack of opportunity. Historically, female writers were thwarted in their literary pursuits by a culture that disapproved of female authors, by gatekeepers within the literary establishment who barred women from participating and by societal pressures that attempted to shoehorn women into being primarily wives, mothers and housekeepers. Woolf's devastating critique of these injustices has been hailed as one of the finest pieces of literary criticism for almost a century. "A Room of One's Own" is presented here in its original and unabridged format.

    Exurbia Now - The Battleground...

    The suburbs have become too liberal and diverse for many white American conservatives, so "exurbia"—areas outside the cities and their suburbs—are becoming the staging ground for the radical right extremist insurgency . . . 
     
     
     
    Beyond a fanatical devotion to former president Donald Trump, one of the curious things that united the rank and file of the January 6 insurrectionist mob was that many of them were residents of one of America's fastest growing residential areas: Exurbia. In this brilliant work of political and cultural inquiry, veteran political journalist David Masciotra provides a definitive account of what exurbia is, how it came to be, and how it's transforming American life. Zooming in outside the greater metropolitan area of Chicago—where Masciotra grew up—he shows how exurbia has become a safe space to fly the MAGA flag and romanticize the mores of the pre-civil rights, pre-feminist, pre-gay rights 1950s. 
     
     
     
    But, as Masciotra also shows, reactionary white flight is not the whole story of small-town America. The story often lost is the power and persistence of small-town liberals—people who believe in equality, celebrate diversity, and enroll in movements for justice. Exurbia, as it turns out, is ground zero for the fight over a democracy mightily beleaguered, yet still full of promise, and still worth fighting for.
