  • The Lady of the Rivers PDF Book
    THE LADY OF THE RIVERS PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Philippa Gregory | 512 pages | 28 Feb 2012 | Simon + Schuster UK | 9781849836524 | English | London, United Kingdom The Lady of the Rivers PDF Book Page Count: Publisher: St. Can you tell us more about your charity, Gardens for The Gambia? Lively, vibrant, sensitive, descriptive, captures key events and struggles in the War of Roses. What frightens me is the sheer size of this series. In, closing, as Jacquetta abandons her friend Margaret for the house of York, so too, does Philippa Gregory abandon a much defamed Queen to the slanders of history. Consider serving foods from the time period at your book discussion. She brings the era she is exploring to life and always tells the story from such a personal point of view that you feel you are, or at least know, the main character. When Margaret of Anjou is brought over to England to marry King Henry of Lancaster, Jacquetta, as her relative, is retrieved from the countryside to befriend the new Queen. And that was supposedly years after Jacquetta lived. Like some of her characters, she practices alchemy, she spins gold from paper pages. I really got the feeling that the book was more of a chore for PG to write rather than a pleasure. It did start to pick up a little bit better after the half way point.. She is a direct descendant of Melusina, the water goddess of legend, and this lineage gives her some powers that separate her from the everyday people around her. As in Tattooist , the writing itself is workmanlike at best and often overwrought.

  • The Directors UK TV Fiction Committee Member Biographies September 2018
    The Directors UK TV Fiction Committee Member biographies September 2018 Bill Anderson After combining TV writing commissions with two years as a roustabout on the Fulmar Alpha North Sea oil-rig, I left Aberdeen and took the NFTS directing course. Credits include workplace dramas The Mill, Mr Selfridge and Dockers (BAFTA and RTS nominated, written by sixteen striking Liverpool dockers, Irvine Welsh and Jimmy McGovern, executive produced by the striking Liverpool port stewards); historical epics Sword of Honour with Daniel Craig and Boudica with Alex Kingston; and politically dystopian Fields of Gold and Last Rights. Helming the pilot of Lewis brought on a rash of detectives: DCI Banks, Taggart, George Gently, and Case Histories. Guardians, which I also wrote, was nominated for RTS best single drama and the Prix Italia. Most recently I’ve served time on Doctor Who. I’m a passionate natural beekeeper with six Warré hives on my London roof, and I write the regular beekeeping column for The Idler magazine. Otto Bathurst After becoming an editor, I switched into production and moved up through the ranks of assistant director and then made a short film, which toured the international festival circuit picking up a bunch of awards. From this, my directing career was launched. I have directed a number critically acclaimed TV shows. These include; the HBO co-production Five Days — nominated for BAFTA, Golden Globe and RTS awards; Criminal Justice, which won the BAFTA for Best Drama Serial, the Prix Italia for Best Drama and the Broadcast Award for Best Mini Series of the year; a single film, Margot; the provocative cult drama, Black Mirror, which won the International Emmy and the comedy award at the Rose d’Or Television Festival.

  • Women's Historical Fiction
    Women’s Historical Fiction “After” Feminism: Discursive Reconstructions of the Tudors in Contemporary Literature by Jenna Elizabeth Barlow Dissertation presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of English at Stellenbosch University Supervisor: Dr. Daniel Roux April 2014 Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za Declaration By submitting this thesis, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the sole author thereof (save to the extent explicitly otherwise stated), that reproduction and publication thereof by Stellenbosch University will not infringe any third party rights and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. April 2014 Copyright © 2014 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved ii Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract Historical fiction is a genre in a constant state of flux: since its inception in the nineteenth century, it has been shaped by cultural trends and has persistently responded to the way in which history is popularly conceptualised. As such, historical novels have always revealed as much about the socio-political context of their moment of production as they do about their historical settings. The advent of feminism was among the most significant movements which shaped the evolution of the women’s historical novel in the twentieth century, prompting as it did a radical shift in historiographic methodology. As feminist discourse became embedded in popular culture in the latter decades of the twentieth century, this shift in turn allowed authors of historical fiction the opportunity to reconsider the ways in which women have been traditionally represented in both historical narrative and fiction.
