Sinossi

The Complete Novels of Jane Austen & Brontë Sisters is a masterful collection that encapsulates the quintessential elements of English literature in the 19th century. By assembling the works of some of the most influential female authors of the era, this anthology presents a diverse tapestry of themes ranging from the exploration of social class and gender roles to the intricate dynamics of familial relationships and personal identity. While the individual narratives stand strong with their distinct literary styles, from Austen's sharp wit and social commentary to the Brontës' Gothic underpinnings and deep introspection, together they offer a profound insight into the emotional and societal landscapes of their time. The anthology showcases the pioneering spirit and resilience of its authors, whose voices reverberate with historical and cultural significance. Jane Austen and the Brontë Sisters each contributed uniquely to the evolution of the novel, highlighting the plight and strength of women in an age of rigid societal norms. Their narratives align with the Romantic and early Victorian literary movements, capturing shifting attitudes towards class and gender. This collection not only pays homage to their individual and collective legacies but also unifies their works under the enduring theme of personal and social transformation. This anthology is an invaluable resource for enthusiasts of classic literature, offering a rare convergence of literary brilliance within a single volume. It presents an unparalleled opportunity to immerse oneself in the multifaceted worlds crafted by Austen and the Brontës. Readers are invited to engage with the breadth of insights and stylistic nuances that continue to influence literary discourse. It is a treasure trove of narratives that promise to educate, challenge, and inspire, forging a timeless dialogue between these exceptional women writers and their modern-day audience.

    In Riding, Pardis Mahdavi meditates on the lessons learned over a lifetime of horseback riding and the falling, failing, and joy it brings. At once a history of Caspian horses, an exploration of Mahdavi's Iranian-American identity and family history, and a consideration of the capacity for self-reflection and self-compassion through human-animal relationships, Riding offers a roadmap for learning to live in harmony with the self and the environment around us. Mahdavi shows how her relationship with horses gives her insights into intergenerational strength and tools for healing intergenerational trauma. Riding from the mountains of Iran to the beaches of California, Mahdavi shares her love affair with horses, rediscovers a homeland she longs for, and ultimately finds her strength.

    The color of one's skin and passport have long dictated the conditions of travel.  For Shahnaz Habib, travel and travel writing have always been complicated pleasures. Habib threads the history of travel with her personal story as a child on family vacations in India, an adult curious about the world, and an immigrant for whom roundtrips are an annual fact of life. Tracing the power dynamics that underlie tourism, this insightful debut parses who gets to travel, and who gets to write about the experience. 
     
     
     
    Threaded through the book are inviting and playful analyses of obvious and not-so-obvious travel artifacts: passports, carousels, bougainvilleas, guidebooks, trains, the idea of wanderlust itself. Together, they tell a subversive history of travel as a Euro-American mode of consumerism—but as any traveler knows, travel is more than that. As an immigrant whose loved ones live across continents, Habib takes a deeply curious and joyful look at a troubled and beloved activity.

    Dorothy Kathleen Broster was born on 2nd September 1877 at Devon Lodge in Grassendale Park, Garston, Liverpool. 
    At 16, the family moved to Cheltenham, where she attended Cheltenham Ladies' College and then on to St Hilda’s College, Oxford to read history, where she was one of the first female students, although at this time women were not awarded degrees. 
    Broster served as secretary to Charles Harding Firth, a Professor of History for several years, and collaborated on several of his works. Her first two novels were co-written with a college friend, Gertrude Winifred Taylor. 
    With the Great War interrupting her literary ambitions she served as a Red Cross nurse at a Franco-American hospital, but returned to England with a knee infection in 1916.  
    After the war, she moved near to Battle in East Sussex and took up writing full-time.  
    In 1920 she at last received her Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts from Oxford. 
    Her novels, mainly historical fiction, peaked in popularity with ‘The Flight of the Heron’, in 1925, a best-seller followed up by two sequels. 
    As well as poetry and various articles she also wrote several short stories, the best known of which is a classic of weird fiction ‘The Couching at the Door’ in which an artist appears to be haunted by a mysterious entity. 
    An intensely private individual many readers deduced from her name that she was both a man and Scottish. 
    D K Broster died in Bexhill Hospital on 7th February 1950.  She was 73.
