Mission at Midnight
Fate brings hearts together in the most unexpected—and inconvenient—ways… If Clodovea de Soverosa had been comfortable socializing at the ball instead of sneaking off to be alone, she wouldn’t have interrupted the handsome spy’s midnight mission. And if she’d been more convincing, he would’ve believed she wasn’t a criminal and refrained from kidnapping her. Now, it’s too late. She’s stuck with him and his outlandish solution to their problem. She should hate him. But she doesn’t… Lucius Westbrook was thrilled to capture an enemy of the Crown. Until he discovered Clodovea was exactly who she claimed to be—the sister of a Spanish attaché. After his colossal failure, ...
Roman Luxuria

It discusses the influence of Greek culture on the Roman concept and examines a wide array of classical authors and genres to trace how luxuria becomes one of the Seven Capital Sins in late antiquity, representing the vice of lust.
THe Metaphysics of Dante's Comedy
Dante's metaphysics--his understanding of reality--is very different from our own. To present Dante's ideas about the cosmos, or God, or salvation, or history, or poetry within the context of post-Enlightenment presuppositions, as is usually done, is thus to capture only imperfectly the essence of those ideas. The recovery of Dante's metaphysics is essential, argues Christian Moevs, if we are to resolve what has been called "the central problem in the interpretation of the Comedy ." That problem is what to make of the Comedy 's claim to the "status of revelation, vision, or experiential record--as something more than imaginative literature." In this book Moevs offers the first sustained trea...
A Feminist Reader in Early Cinema
A Feminist Reader in Early Cinema marks a new era of feminist film scholarship. The twenty essays collected here demonstrate how feminist historiographies at once alter and enrich ongoing debates over visuality and identification, authorship, stardom, and nationalist ideologies in cinema and media studies. Drawing extensively on archival research, the collection yields startling accounts of women's multiple roles as early producers, directors, writers, stars, and viewers. It also engages urgent questions about cinema's capacity for presenting a stable visual field, often at the expense of racially, sexually, or class-marked bodies. While fostering new ways of thinking about film history, A F...
Gumble's Yard
Abandoned by their uncle and aunt, Kevin and Sandra run away to Gumble's Yard, a deserted row of cottages on the canal bank. But the cottages are not as empty as they thought. Strange people come and go, mysterious boxes keep arriving, and the children soon find themselves caught up in a dangerous chain of events. * This book was unique when it was first published and over the years has come to be recognized as one of the ground-breaking books of the millenium. * John Rowe Townsend is a significant author, without whom writers such as Robert Cormier and Judy Blume might not have been recognized. * This gripping story has stood the test of time in the way the children are left alone to become completely self-reliant. * John Rowe Townsend lives in Cambridge.
