Summary

In "The Rural Life of England," William Howitt presents a vivid and comprehensive portrayal of the pastoral life in England during the 19th century. Through a blend of lyrical prose and meticulous observation, Howitt captures the beauty, challenges, and simplicities of rural existence. His writing, characterized by rich descriptions and a keen sense of social context, reflects an era that balanced the encroaching industrialization with traditional agrarian practices. The book serves as both a celebration of rural life and a critique of the societal changes affecting these communities, positioning it within the larger context of Victorian literature that often grappled with the tension between nature and progress. William Howitt, a noted essayist, historian, and nature enthusiast, draws on his personal experiences growing up in a rural setting. His deep connection to the land and its people informs his compassionate and nuanced perspective on rural affairs. Howitt, an advocate for social reform and environmental awareness, channels his observations into this work, aiming to highlight the intrinsic values held by rural communities as they confront modernity. "The Rural Life of England" is a must-read for anyone interested in the interplay between nature, culture, and society. Scholars, historians, and general readers alike will find Howitt's insights not only informative but also deeply resonant, evoking a longing for the pastoral ideals that define a significant part of England's heritage.

    Moonlight Elk - One Woman's Hunt...

    Christie Green learned to hunt in order to complement the food she grew in her garden. As an act of practical agency this fulfilled her needs, yet a restlessness stirred within. She longed for a life defined by something deeper than cultural norms. Could she travel beyond the supposed domain of women and venture into the wild, where men were said to prevail? 
 
 
 
Here, hunting in the wild, the moon cycles through her, rising and falling, whispering messages from the dark side. Rather than circle the hot insistence of a masculine sun, Green begins to attune to the more elusive, mysterious murmuration of the moon. Animals and dreams, lunar partners, choreograph Green through time and space. She longs to dream, toil, live, and love at the edges of the fertile ecotones where she can withdraw inward, retreat like an animal into hiding, and then come into full, radiant view on her own terms. Green sheds the burdens of her domestic self and witnesses the animals defying reason as they walk her into their world, ambling her along, straddling night and day, waking and sleeping. Through them, definitions of gender dissolve and boundaries blur. In the process, Green eclipses western society's definitions of her as a woman, mother, lover, and entrepreneur, courageously birthing her own independence through a profound connection to the animals and the places they call home.

    The Life Worth Living -...

    More than 2,000 years ago, Aristotle said: "let there be a law that no deformed child shall live." This idea is alive and well today. During the past century, Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. argued that the United States can forcibly sterilize intellectually disabled women and philosopher Peter Singer argued for the right of parents to euthanize certain cognitively disabled infants. The Life Worth Living explores how and why such arguments persist by investigating the exclusion of and discrimination against disabled people across the history of Western moral philosophy. 
 
 
 
Joel Michael Reynolds argues that this history demonstrates a fundamental mischaracterization of the meaning of disability, thanks to the conflation of lived experiences of disability with those of pain and suffering. Building on decades of activism and scholarship in the field, Reynolds shows how longstanding views of disability are misguided and unjust, and he lays out a vision of what an anti-ableist moral future requires. 
 
 
 
The Life Worth Living is the first sustained examination of disability through the lens of the history of moral philosophy and phenomenology, and it demonstrates how lived experiences of disability demand a far richer account of human flourishing, embodiment, community, and politics in philosophical inquiry and beyond.
