Comfort Pease and her Gold Ring - Exploring Women's Lives in Rural New England Society

Mary Eleanor Wilkins Freeman

Casa editrice: Good Press

Sinossi

In "Comfort Pease and Her Gold Ring," Mary Eleanor Wilkins Freeman crafts a poignant narrative that explores the complexities of social class, gender roles, and personal aspirations in late 19th-century New England. Through the lens of the eponymous character, Comfort Pease, Freeman delves into the interplay between materialism and emotional fulfillment, employing a lyrical prose style that balances realism with subtle humor. The novella stands as a microcosm of societal tensions at the time, illuminating the struggles of women seeking autonomy within rigid societal expectations, and is imbued with details that reveal the pastoral New England setting as both a character and a backdrop for Comfort's journey. Mary Eleanor Wilkins Freeman, a prominent figure in American literature, often drew from her own experiences in small-town Massachusetts to illuminate the lives of women and the challenges they faced. Born in 1852, her upbringing in an era marked by gender constraints and social changes deeply informed her literary voice. Freeman's keen insight into the inner lives of her characters exemplifies a commitment to revealing the often-overlooked narratives of women, particularly in rural communities. This novella is highly recommended for readers interested in American literature and women's studies. Freeman's rich character development and empathetic storytelling make "Comfort Pease and Her Gold Ring" an essential read, as it not only captures the zeitgeist of its era but also resonates with contemporary themes of self-discovery and societal expectations.

History records massive ancient battles at Carthage, Megiddo, and Cannae. Soon it will record an even greater one...at Sustugul. 
Surrounded in the desert port of Sustugul, the Rangers and their new allies must fight a desperate defense. The legions of the Lich Pharaoh, led by a fierce and brutal warrior queen medusa from the Land of Black Sleep, have erupted out of the tomb-haunted south, and overwhelming forces of savage orc hordes swarm the walls of the besieged city.
