'Don't make me late at the office ' 'Certainly not, Bruce, ' answered Edith sedately. She was seated opposite her husband at breakfast in a very new, very small, very white flat in Knightsbridge - exactly like thousands of other new, small, white flats. She was young and pretty, but not obvious. One might suppose that she was more subtle than was shown by her usual expression, which was merely cheerful and intelligent. 'Now I have to write that letter before I go, ' Bruce exclaimed, starting up and looking at her reproachfully. 'Why didn't I write it last night?' Edith hadn't the slightest idea, as she had heard nothing of the letter before, but, in the course of three years, she had learnt that it saved time to accept trifling injustices. So she looked guilty and a little remorseful. He magnanimously forgave her, and began to write the letter at a neat white writing-table.

While he was at Carlsbad he heard the news. Then he received a letter from Edith, speaking with deference and solicitude of Bruce's rheumatism, entreating him to do the cure thoroughly, and sugg...

Aestheticism and Sexual Parody 1840-1940
This original and provocative 2001 study discusses the work of a number of authors in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries in order to argue that mainstream society was enabled to accept the non-normative sexuality of the Aesthetic Movement chiefly through parody and self-parody. Highlighting Victorian popular culture, Aestheticism and Sexual Parody adds an important dimension to the theorisations of parody as a combative strategy by which sexually marginalized groups undermine the status quo. From W. S. Gilbert's drama and Vernon Lee and Christopher Isherwood's prose to George du Maurier's cartoons and Max Beerbohm's caricatures, Dennis Denisoff explores the parodies' interactions with the personae and texts of canonical authors such as Alfred Tennyson, Walter Pater, Algernon Swinburne, and Oscar Wilde. In doing so, he considers the impact that these interactions had on modern ideas of gender, sexuality, taste and politics.
Love at Second Sight
Ada Leverson's 'Love at Second Sight' is a captivating novel that revolves around themes of love, society, and personal growth. Set in the early 20th century with its impeccable wit and subtle humor, Leverson's writing style can be compared to that of Jane Austen. Through the intricately woven plot and well-developed characters, the author offers a satirical commentary on the class-conscious society of her time. The book's engaging narrative and keen observations make it a delightful read for fans of classic literature. Ada Leverson, a contemporary of Oscar Wilde and a key figure in the literary circle of the time, drew from her own experiences as an upper-class woman in Edwardian England to create a vivid and realistic portrayal of the society in 'Love at Second Sight'. Her sharp insights and social commentary reflect her deep understanding of human nature and relationships. I highly recommend 'Love at Second Sight' to readers who appreciate classic literature, witty humor, and insightful social commentary. Ada Leverson's novel offers a refreshing perspective on love and society that is both timeless and relevant even today.
