  • Lusty Little Women: the Secret Desires of the March Sisters
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Lusty Little Women: The Secret Desires of the March Sisters The adventures of the March sisters are about to go into untapped realms... Introducing Lusty Little Women, a scintillating twist on Louisa May Alcott’s classic that infuses the original text with sexy new scenes that will surprise, arouse, and delight. Jo, Meg, Beth, and Amy are coming of age, and exhilarat- ing temptations await them around every corner. The handsome young neighbor, attentive doctor, and mysterious foreigner intro- duce the little women to the passion-filled world of desire, plea- sure, and satisfaction. Retold as a risque romance, this book follows the slightly older and much more adventurous sisters—and they’re all ready to plumb the depths of their previously constrained courtships. Will these steamy encounters fulfill their deepest yearnings? Have they found true love or been blinded by lust? “Rereading the Little Women series as an adult was a wonderful experience, reuniting me with characters I consider old friends,” explains author Margaret Pearl. “But as I read, the flirtations and attraction between the young women and their suitors left me imagining how Alcott may have written it if she were able to show what went on behind the curtain—and between the sheets!. Lusty Little Women is the result of a love of the characters and an ir- repressible desire to see them get the pleasure they truly deserve.” Complete with romantic, racy, and naughty scenarios fans $14.95, Trade Paper June 2014 from Ulysses Press have always fantasized about, Lusty Little Women will thrill both ISBN: 978-1-61243-302-8 well-versed and new readers of the classic novel.

  • Louisa May Alcott's Wild Indians: Pedagogy of Love, Politics of Empire
    Louisa May Alcott’s Wild Indians: Pedagogy of Love, Politics of Empire Steve Benton East Central University Though long dismissed by many literary critics as sentimental juvenile literature, Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women series has over the past few decades enjoyed a critical renaissance. The first installment of Alcott’s multi-volume account of Jo March and her sisters was published in 1868. It was a best-seller then, and when I checked Amazon.com’s list of best-selling 19th century novels during the first week of November 2011, it was in the number one position. In 1978, Nina Auerbach helped Little Women gain a stronger hold in college curricula by calling attention to the radical nature of Alcott’s suggestion that the “world of the March girls” was “rich enough to complete itself” (55). Thirteen years later, Elaine Showalter, described Jo as “the most influential figure of the independent and creative American woman” (42). Since then, many feminist scholars have ratified the status of Alcott’s work in academic journals. I am happy to see popular novels like those in the Little Women series finding their way onto the critical radar because they offer so much insight into the values embraced by their readers. Little Women provides a rich, complex terrain for discussion about gender discourse in the 19th century. In this essay, I will discuss the relationship between that discourse and territorial expansion policies of the United States during the years following the Civil War, policies that would eventually push many Native American nations to the brink of extermination.

  • Can Fiction Generate Social Change?
    Student ID: 1405937 Can fiction generate social change? Certainly it can. Look at B​lack Beauty.​ Written as an autobiography, Anna Sewell’s 1877 novel describes the life of the eponymous horse, Black Beauty, from his early days in fields with his mother, through life with owners good and bad, to his comfortable final home in the countryside. This book was described in the E​ncyclopedia of Animal Rights and Animal Welfare ​as “the most influential anticruelty novel of all time”. In the USA alone a million copies were sold within two years and it was widely distributed by animal rights activists to people who worked with horses. One example of the anticruelty legislation that was passed after its release was the abolition of the bearing rein. This held a horse’s head up high to look stylish, but prevented the horse leaning forward to pull. Wearing the rein was described by Black Beauty’s friend Ginger as “dreadful . your neck aching until you don’t know how to bear it . the blood from my tongue covered the froth that kept flying from my lips”. So why was it that B​lack Beauty ​was so influential, instead of being dismissed, like many horsey books, as sentimental anthropomorphism for teenage girls? Partly because, besides being a ripping good read and accurate in detail, it was written at the right time: a time of social change, 1 Student ID: 1405937 when Charles Dickens’ novels were raising awareness of the ill effects of poverty and Harriet Beecher Stowe was assisting the abolition of slavery with U​ ncle Tom’s Cabin.​ In order to generate social change, a novel must be different.

  • Black Beauty
    Black Beauty Black Beauty The story Black Beauty was a handsome horse with one white foot and a white star on his forehead. His life started out on a farm with his mother, Duchess, who taught him to be gentle and kind and to never bite or kick. When Black Beauty was four years old, he was sold to Squire Gordon of Birtwick Park. He went to live in a stable where he met and became friends with two horses, Merrylegs and Ginger. Ginger started life with a cruel owner who used a whip on her. She treated her cruel owner with the lack of respect he deserved. When she went to live at Birtwick Park, Ginger still kicked and bit, but she grew happier there. The groom at Birtwick Park, John, was very kind and never used a whip. Black Beauty saved the lives of Squire Gordon and John one stormy night when they tried to get him to cross a broken bridge. The Squire was very grateful and loved Black Beauty very much. One night a foolish young stableman left his pipe burning in the hay loft where Black Beauty and Ginger were staying. Squire Gordon’s young stableboy, James, saved Black Beauty and Ginger from the burning stable. The Squire and his wife were very grateful and proud of their young stableboy. James got a new job and left Birtwick Park and a new stableboy, Joe Green, took over. Then, one night Black Beauty nearly died because of Joe’s lack of experience and knowledge. The Gordons had to leave the country because of Mrs Gordon’s health and sold Black Beauty to Lord Westerleigh at Earlshall Park.

  • Download the Free STUDY GUIDE
    Dear Reader, We are so exited to share our comic series, The Light Princess, with you! This incredible fairy tale was originally written by scottish author, George MacDonald in 1864. The story is full of allegory and metaphors, and loved by many regardless of age and gender. While it was originally written for children, both C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkein loved this story, and considered MacDonald the inspiration for their well known works, Narnia and The Lord of the Rings. In light of this, this study guide has been designed to enrich the story for ages 6-16, and has been broken up into three levels of activities: beginner, in- termediate and advanced. We hope that this educational guide is something that your whole family can go through together, and help draw out just some of the richness that MacDonald infused throughout this beautiful story. How to Get the Comic Series If you do not already have the series, you can find it digitally on ComiXology, read it for free on Webtoon, or buy a physical series on Amazon. If you have younger children, you can download the edited version of Issue 1 that has removed pages 7-13 to make it more appropriate for children. The free webtoons version has also been edited, and the rest of the series is appropriate for all ages. About Cave Pictures Publishing Our projects include wholly original works by acclaimed artists in the comics industry as well as original adaptations of existing works.

But, although due caution must be taken, when analysing proverbial lore, to differentiate between the serious and jocular element contained therein, it may safely be said that, taken as a whole, such adages and saws—which form an important branch of folk-lore—express more or less correctly the estimate of mankind relative to the subject specially handled. And, when it is remembered what a wealth of material proverbial literature supplies in connection with every concern of daily life, it is not surprising that woman should have been made a prominent theme for criticism and comment, the judgment passed on her being in most cases fairly evenly divided between what is *in her favour or the reverse. In a field, too, so wide we have been content to cull, from here and there, sufficient typical 212464 viii Preface instances of the proverbial wisdom of the human race in its teaching of woman's character as to illustrate the subjects classified in the following chapters, without unduly multiplying examples, which only too frequently are a repetition of the same adage told in a different form.
