Beginning Realism
Realism is an essential concept in literary studies, yet for a variety of reasons it has not received the attention and clarity it deserves, often being dismissed as ‘too slippery’ to be of use. This accessible study remedies that failing for students and scholars of English Literature and Literary Theory alike, plainly setting out what realism is, the issues surrounding it, and its role in other major literary modes such as modernism and postmodernism. Beginning Realism gives detailed coverage of the nineteenth-century realist novel through its focus on novels by Gaskell, Eliot, Trollope, Dickens, Mrs Oliphant, Thackeray and Zola. As well as discussing ‘the novel’, the book also includes chapters on the use of realism in drama and poetry and a chapter on ‘the language of realism’, another aspect often overlooked in analysis of the concept.

The Bulgarian Contract
Newly-found evidence presented in The Bulgarian Contract changes our understanding of how and why the Great War ended precipitously on November 11, 1918. Graeme Sheppard describes how two young British army officers, POWs in Bulgaria, witnessed a secret act of Balkan propaganda that proved to be the catalyst for the collapse of the Central Powers, panicking the German high command into seeking an armistice in a conflict that was otherwise destined to continue well into 1919 with hundreds of thousands of extra deaths.
Great Wall in 50 Objects
The culmination of a lifetime's field work and research, William Lindesay selects fifty artefacts from around the world to tell the story of the Great Wall from the second century BC to the late-twentieth century. Abraham Ortelius' pioneering world atlas, the unexpected origins of 'wolf smoke', the proliferation of the blunderbuss in the fifteenth century Great Wall theatre of war, even Kafka's classic short story 'At the Building of the Great Wall' are some of the unique objects that were shaped by China's most famous national landmark. Enhanced by stories of their discovery, and those of their modern-day keepers, The Great Wall in 50 Objects is a personal and historical exploration of a wo...
Summary of Elizabeth Earnshaw's I Want This to Work
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I spent my life preparing for love. I played out realistic scenes of romance with my dolls, watched movies based on romantic love, and dreamed up fantasies of how we’d meet. I was certain that when I fell in love, it would be with the perfect person. #2 When a relationship is not working, it’s usually because one or both of the partners have not been able to honor the self or the other in the relationship. We often make the choice to honor the other person, but not ourselves. #3 When we first enter into a relationship, we are on fire with happy hormones that encourage us to fuse with the other person. We love them for what we feel, not necessarily for what we know. Our brains are wired to connect above all else. #4 As we move into the second stage, realization, we start to see who our partner really is. Some of what we see, we like, and some, we do not. We might believe our partner misled us, or perhaps they think we misled them.
