Beschreibung

In 'Robinetta,' readers are invited into a rich tapestry of narratives that explore the multi-faceted experiences of womanhood and society in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Through varying styles—from romanticism to early modern realism—this anthology captures the intellectual and cultural ambience of its era. The collection showcases a breadth of voices, intertwining stories that balance introspective discovery and societal criticism, where the admirably distinct piece 'Robinetta' stands as a noteworthy inclusion, illuminating the anthology's thematic heart of personal growth against social constraints. The collective genius of Kate Douglas Smith Wiggin, Jane Helen Findlater, Allan McAulay, and Mary Findlater finds a harmonious blend in this anthology. Their backgrounds, steeped in the rich literary traditions of Scotland and America, provide a compelling bridge between transatlantic literary movements and cultural dialogues. Through their varied experiences and insights, these writers offer readers an enriched understanding of themes such as identity, social roles, and independence. Their narratives align with the growing literary trends of their time, including women's suffrage and the New Woman movement, offering a nuanced portrayal of their thematic explorations. 'Robinetta' is an invaluable resource for those eager to explore diverse perspectives through a single lens. An ideal recommendation for scholars and general readers alike, this collection provides an educational journey through its depth of insight and narrative complexity. With each contributing author bringing a unique voice to the anthology, the reader is encouraged to engage in an enriching dialogue about the multifaceted narratives of early 20th-century literature and the enduring themes of autonomy and societal roles that continue to resonate across generations.

    Equality is one of the great and lauded aims of a just society.  It is rarely achieved.  The system is there to be exploited by those with too much money and too many resources.  Or maybe just a grudge.  Our classic authors including Anton Chekhov, O Henry, Susan Glaspell, Arthur Morrison and others turn their pens to the nature of abuse.  It may be gentle or laced with searing pain but always told with the sharpest of pens.

    Discover one of the Scottish Enlightenment's brightest stars.
    Among the giants of the Scottish Enlightenment, the name of James Hutton is overlooked. Yet his Theory of the Earth revolutionised the way we think about how our planet was formed and laid the foundation for the science of geology. He was in his time a doctor, a farmer, a businessman, a chemist yet he described himself as a philosopher – a seeker after truth.
    A friend of James Watt and of Adam Smith, he was a polymath, publishing papers on subjects as diverse as why it rains and a theory of language. He shunned status and official position, refused to give up his strong Scots accent and vulgar speech, loved jokes and could start a party in an empty room.
    Yet much of his story remains a mystery. His papers, library and mineral collection all vanished after his death and only a handful of letters survive. He seemed to be a lifelong bachelor, yet had a secret son whom he supported throughout his life.
    This book uses new sources and original documents to bring Hutton the man to life and places him firmly among the geniuses of his time.

    Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was an Indian attorney, anti-colonial patriot, and political ethicist who used nonviolent resistance to lead the triumphant struggle for India's independence from British rule, motivating civil liberties and liberty movements around the globe. The epithet Mahtm (which means "great-souled" or "age-old" in Sanskrit) was at first appointed to him in South Africa in the year 1914 and is now used all across the world. 
    Gandhi was born into a Hindu family in seaside Gujarat and studied law at the Inner Temple in London. 
    In the year 1893, he came to South Africa to represent an Indian business owner in a case after 2 years in India, where he was not able to establish a rewarding law practice. 
    He spent the next 21 years of his life in South Africa. Gandhi raised his family here and was the first to use nonviolent resistance in a civil liberties struggle. 
    He went back to India in the year 1915, at the age of 45. He started setting in motion peasants, farmers, and city workers to fight oppression and high land taxes. Gandhi led statewide projects to reduce poverty, promote women's rights, build spiritual and ethnic amity, get rid of untouchability, and, above all, accomplish swaraj, or self-rule, after presuming management of the Indian National Congress in the year 1921. 
    Gandhi has meant much for the peace, the independence, and the culture of India, as well as his acts of non-violent resistance that have influenced the world. Let’s take a look at what else he did.
