Lucy Holliday THE LESS YOU KNOW, THE SOUNDER YOU SLEEP Juliet Butler • A tale of survival and self-determination, based on a true story: Juliet knew Masha and Dasha Krivoshlyapova and interviewed them several times as a journalist. She ghostwrote a biography of them published in German in 2000, entitled Masha & Dasha: Autobiography of a Siamese Twin Pair • Crossover literary fiction that tugs at the heartstrings - for anyone who loves novels based on astonishing true stories, e.g. Hannah Kent’s Burial Rites, Emma Donoghue’s The Wonder, and Affinity Konar’s 10 Aug 2017 Mischling, as well as stories on twins e.g. Lori £14.99 Lansenn’s The Girls, or Sarah Crossnan’s One 216x135 Hardback 448pp Dasha cannot imagine life without her sister. Masha is feisty and fearless. Dasha is gentle, quiet and fears everything, from the Soviet scientists who study them, to the other ‘defective’ children who bully them and the ‘healthies’ from whom they must be locked away. For the twins have been born conjoined in a society where flaws must be hidden from sight and where their inseparability is the most terrible flaw of all. Through the seismic shifts of Stalin’s communism to the beginnings of Putin’s democracy, Dasha and her irrepressible sister strive to be more than just ‘the together twins’, finding hope – and love – in the unlikeliest of places. But will their quest for shared happiness always be threatened by the differences that divide them? And can a life lived in a sister’s shadow only ever be half a life?

Sent into exile, Heathcliff finds himself alone on the road to Liverpool, in search of answers about his past. Along the way, he saves foul-mouthed Emily – the ten- year-old orphan daughter of a Highwayman – from a whipping, and the pair journey on together.

Dr. Beture MEMMEDOVA, Süleyman Demirel Üniversitesi, Fen-Edebiyat Fakültesi, Batı Dilleri ve Edebiyatı Bölümü, İngiliz Dili ve Edebiyatı Ana Bilim Dalı, [email protected]. ORCID Numarası ORCID Numbers: 0000-0002-2992-8035 Abstract The aim of the present paper is to reveal how Penelope Fitzgerald (1916-2000), the well-known English writer, employs defamiliarization device in her second novel The Bookshop (1978). Penelope Fitzgerald is mainly known for her distinctive and elegant style, called by many critics the “quiet genius” of the late twentieth-century English fiction. She can also be called the master of the uncanny, or ostranenie (making it strange), as the Russian formalist Viktor Shklovsky defined it. Penelope Fitzgerald brings quite new and original interpretations to the familiar concepts like morality, courage, kindness, help and hope. Through the literary concept of defamiliarization, the reader gains a new awareness of these issues. In her novels, essays, reviews and letters, she surprises the reader by defamiliarizing these well-known notions, loading them with new meaning and surprising the reader with the newly discovered truths which had always been there unnoticed by readers.

    MARINER BOOKS THE BLUE FLOWER HOUGHTON MIFFLIN COMPANY “A masterpiece. How does she do it?”—A. S. Byatt Friedrich Leopold, Baron von Hardenberg (1772–1801), was born in Oberwiederstadt, Germany, studied law, philosophy, and history, worked A Reader’s Guide as a government auditor at Weissenfels, and — under the pseudonym Novalis—became known as the “prophet of Romanticism.” Best known for his Sacred Songs (1799) and Hymns to the Night (1800), Novalis left unfinished two prose narratives, the more important of which, Heinrich PENELOPE FITZGERALD von Ofterdingen, centers on a mystical young poet in search of a myste- rious blue flower. Penelope Fitzgerald has taken the facts of Novalis’s short life and fashioned a remarkable, poetic novel of irrational love, passionate thought, and the transfiguration of the commonplace. The Blue Flower, chosen nineteen times in England as the 1995 “Book of the Year,” also “No writer is more presents an uncannily convincing view of landscape and life in late-eigh- engaging than teenth-century Saxony — its small towns, universities, estates, and Penelope Fitzgerald.” people, from humble to noble. — Anita Brookner, In her inimitably magical way, Fitzgerald reconstructs Fritz von The Spectator Hardenberg’s formative years, from his childhood in a large family through the death in 1797 of his beloved Sophie von Kühn, as well as the society that he sought to transform and transcend.

  • Moral Knowledge in Penelope Fitzgerald's Fiction
    Reckless Innocence, Brno Studies in English Volume 46, No. 1, 2020 Non-Anger and Forgiveness: ISSN 0524-6881 | e-ISSN 1805-0867 Moral Knowledge in Penelope https://doi.org/10.5817/BSE2020-1-13 Fitzgerald’s Fiction Irene Visser Abstract This essay contributes to the currently limited academic scholarship on Penelope Fitzgerald’s fiction by exploring affective interpersonal relationships as central themes in her novels In- nocence (1986) and The Beginning of Spring (1988). I draw on Martha C. Nussbaum’s philo- sophical work, in particular her recent publication Anger and Forgiveness (2016), to shed light on the arresting and unconventional ways in which Fitzgerald’s fiction dramatizes and often subverts commonly held notions of innocence, anger, guilt and forgiveness. This essay argues that Fitzgerald’s art as a novelist is particularly evident in the subtle and ironic manner in which she presents arresting moral insights. Nussbaum’s philosophical explorations of moral knowl- edge provide the theoretical framework that clarifies these innovative and thought-provoking aspects of Fitzgerald’s work. Key words Penelope Fitzgerald; affect; Martha Nussbaum; moral philosophy; contemporary literature The British author Penelope Fitzgerald (1916–2000) is an outstanding but little- known novelist. In the first part of her career she wrote a number of highly ac- claimed biographies and achieved a substantial production of reviews and essays, earning the reputation of an astute literary critic with an extensive knowledge of art. In fiction, she was a late starter. Her first novel,The Golden Child, appeared in 1977, when she was sixty. Her prose fiction was well received by literary critics and authors, who recognized the unique quality of her novels.
