Date of publication: 1821 Edition: 1st ed. Number of volumes: 5 LOVERS AND FRIENDS. A NOVEL. Printed by J. Darling, Leadenhall-street London. LOVERS AND FRIENDS; OR, MODERN ATTACHMENTS. A NOVEL. IN FIVE VOLUMES. BY ANNE OF SWANSEA, AUTHOR OF CONVICTION, GONZALO DE BALDIVIA, CHRONICLES OF AN ILLUSTRIOUS HOUSE, SECRET AVENGERS, SECRETS IN EVERY MANSION, CAMBRIAN PICTURES, CESARIO ROSALBA, &c.&c. “I hold a mirror up for men to see How bad they are, how good they ought to be.” VOL. 1. LONDON: Printed at the Minerva Press for A.K. NEWMAN AND CO. LEADENHALLSTREET. 1821. INSCRIPTION. WITH SINCERE ADMIRATION OF HIS MUSICAL GENIUS, AND THE MOST PERFECT RESPECT FOR HIS HONOURABLE CHARACTER, THESE VOLUMES ARE INSCRIBED TO JOHN EMDIN, ESQ. BY HIS OBLIGED FRIEND AND DEVOTED SERVANT, ANN OF SWANSEA. College-street, Swansea, July 10, 1820. PREFACE. KING Solomon, the very wisest of all wise sages, past, present, and to come, declared, in his day, there was nothing new under the sun: how then can the weak brain of a modern author (ye sons and daughters of fire-eyed Genius, be not, I beseech you, offended; I only mean weak, when compared with the brain of king Solomon) pretend to lead the fastidious critic through paths untrodden before, or present to his lynx-like sight sentiments and incidents unheard of either in prose or verse? The difficulty of twisting, twining, and winding together, three or four volumes, of sufficient interest to attract public attention, is labour that requires an ingenuity few have genius enough to accomplish, and affords a weighty reason why prefaces are growing out of fashion; for an author finds his inventive faculties spun as thin as a cobweb in supplying the requisite number of pages for his story, without wasting his metaphors, sublimity, and brilliance, on a preface.

  • Johnson Production Group Press Kit
    Johnson Production Group Press Kit One-Liner When a struggling housewife poses as a potential buyer to help her boss close real estate transactions, she discovers her boss will do anything to close a deal - even murder. Synopsis Shelby Adams and her husband, Grant, struggled to get by. They had a hard time paying the rent on their house and keeping up with the bills in today’s economy. Something had to be done and Shelby was the one that took the initiative. Getting her real estate license, Shelby wanted to make money while Grant’s indecisions and insecurities caused friction between them. He had a low paying job and was resigned that it would be his lot in life. They were feeling the strain on their relationship. However, everything changed when Paulette entered their lives. Paulette was a successful realtor that claimed she saw something in Shelby that she admired. She offered Shelby a job to assist Paulette with her real estate ventures. It would be the opportunity Shelby had been waiting for. Yet Paulette’s business practices seemed unconventional. She had Shelby pretend to be potential buyer to pressure sales. She also had Shelby pretend to be expert on mold in order to claim there were no problems with a property. Shelby was wary but Paulette always had an answer. There was always an excuse. Paulette was good at manipulating people - including Shelby. After all, Paulette had a dream project she wanted to do and wanted Shelby to be part of it. Paulette had a financial backer and all she needed was time to put the deal together.

This is an open-access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original author and source are credited. Abstract This article aims to show the integration of Lesbians in a western context through all types of mainstream media such as film, prime-time television shows and Internet based web series. These aims were followed by means of a research conducted on exploring Lesbians' evolution from niche margins and stereotypes into modern mainstream media, by shattering the “Butch & Femme” distribution patterns, negative and prejudice stigmas while showing the advancement of modern society with regard to this issue. Most researchers found in this area focus on the gay male media influences and not on female. Researches that do focus on the female issue focus on traditional culture in women’s genre, such as: soap operas, novels, women’s journals and female studies. Thus, a gap in knowledge exists regarding the evolution of lesbian character’s evolution representation in the various media. The study used a mixed research methods research, combining quantitative and qualitative research methods.
