Mary - Regency Romance Novel

Mary Wollstonecraft

Editorial: DigiCat

Sinopsis

In her groundbreaking novel "Mary," Mary Wollstonecraft explores the complexities of female identity and autonomy in a patriarchal society. Set against the backdrop of late 18th-century England, the narrative weaves together rich character development with feminist themes, examining the struggles of its titular character as she seeks to assert her independence and achieve self-realization. The prose is marked by a bold, passionate tone, reflecting Wollstonecraft's advocacy for women's rights and her challenge to the conventions of her time, resonating deeply within the literary context of Enlightenment ideals and Romanticism. Mary Wollstonecraft, an icon of early feminist thought, was driven by her own experiences of social injustice and personal hardship. Born into a tumultuous family, she became a teacher and writer, advocating for the education and empowerment of women. Her seminal work, "A Vindication of the Rights of Woman," laid the groundwork for her exploration in "Mary," where she continues her inquiry into the constraints imposed on women, illuminating the necessity of both personal and societal change. "Mary" is an essential read for anyone interested in feminist literature and the evolution of women's rights. Wollstonecraft's insightful examination of identity, alongside her masterful storytelling, provides readers not only with a compelling narrative but also with a challenge to reflect on the ongoing struggles for equality. Immerse yourself in this revolutionary work that remains profoundly relevant today.

The Adventure of the Creeping Man

Arthur Conan Doyle

The Adventure of the Creeping Man (1923) is one of 12 Sherlock Holmes short stories by Arthur Conan Doyle collected in The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes (1927). The story was first published in the Strand Magazine in the UK and Hearst's International in the US in March 1923.A man named Trevor Bennett comes to Holmes with a most unusual problem. He is Professor Presbury's personal secretary, and Mr Bennett is also engaged to the professor's only daughter, Edith. Professor Presbury is himself engaged to a young lady, Alice Morphy, a colleague's daughter, although he himself is already 61 years of age. Their impending marriage does not seem to have caused a great scandal, so that is not Mr Bennett's problem. Nonetheless, the trouble seems to have begun at about the time of Professor Presbury's and Alice's engagement. First, the professor suddenly left home for a fortnight without telling anyone where he was going. He returned looking rather travel-worn, and it was only through a letter from a friend sent to Mr Bennett that the family learnt that Professor Presbury had been to Prague. Upon returning from Prague, Presbury told Mr Bennett that certain letters would arrive with a cross under the stamp, and that he was not to open these. Until this time, Mr Bennett had enjoyed the professor's implicit trust and had opened all his letters as part of his job. As the professor said, such letters did arrive, and he gave them straight to the professor. Whether any replies were sent Mr Bennett does not know, as they never passed through his hands. The professor also brought a small carved wooden box back with him from Prague. One day, as Mr Bennett was looking for a cannula, he picked the box up, and the professor became very angry with him. Mr Bennett was quite shaken by the incident...Famous works of the author Arthur Conan Doyle: A Study in Scarlet, The Sign of the Four, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes, The Hound of the Baskervilles, The Return of Sherlock Holmes, The Valley of Fear, His Last Bow, The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes, Stories of Sherlock Holmes, The Lost World.

Mary Butts - Six of the Best -...

Mary Butts

Six has always been a number we group things around – Six of the best, six of one half a dozen of another, six feet under, six pack, six degrees of separation and a sixth sense are but a few of the ways we use this number. 
 
Such is its popularity that we thought it is also a very good way of challenging and investigating an author’s work to give width, brevity, humour and depth across six of their very best. 
 
In this series we gather together authors whose short stories both rivet the attention and inspire the imagination to visit their gems in a series of six, to roam across an author’s legacy in a few short hours and gain a greater understanding of their writing and, of course, to be lavishly entertained by their ideas, their narrative and their way with words. 
 
These stories can be surprising and sometimes at a tangent to what we expected, but each is fully formed and a marvellous adventure into the world and words of a literary master.
