"Grave doubts at times arise in the critical mind as to whether America has had any famous women. We are reproached with the fact, that in spite of some two hundred years of existence, we have, as yet, developed no genius in any degree comparable to that of George Eliot and George Sand in the present, or a dozen other as familiar names of the past. One at least of our prominent literary journals has formulated this reproach, and is even sceptical as to the probability of any future of this nature for American women. " ... Read more

Product Description
Much of the depression evident in Anne Bradstreet's earlier verses came from the circumstances of her family life. No woman could have been less fitted to bear absence from those nearest to her, and though her adhesive nature had made her take as deep root in Ipswich, as if further change could not come, she welcomed anything that diminished the long separations, and made her husband's life center more at home. One solace seems to have been always open to her, her longest poem, the "Four Monarchies," showing her devotion to Ancient history and the thoroughness with which she had made it her own. ...

Extrait : Alan Moore (né le 18 novembre 1953 à Northampton) est un écrivain anglais surtout connu pour son travail de scénariste de bande dessinée (Watchmen, V for Vendetta, From Hell, etc.). Moore est célèbre pour être de ceux qui ont rendu les comics plus matures, plus littéraires. Il a également beaucoup apporté à la forme du médium, par des effets de mise en page inédits jusque lors. Ses influences sont très diverses. On trouve des auteurs comme William S. Burroughs, Thomas Pynchon, Robert Mayer et Iain Sinclair, des écrivains de science-fiction comme Michael Moorcock et d'horreur comme Clive Barker, des cinéastes comme Nicolas Roeg. En bande dessinée, l'influence de Bryan Talbot, précurseur de la bande dessinée « adulte » avec The Adventures of Luther Arkwright, a été déterminante. Il nait à Northampton dans une famille modeste. Après une scolarité difficile (il est exclu de son lycée pour avoir vendu du LSD), il monte le magazine Embryo avec des amis à l'âge de 18 ans. Il se marie en 1974 et a deux enfants. Illustrateur dans un magazine musical, Sounds, en 1979, il abandonne rapidement le dessin pour s'adonner à l'écriture. Il reprend Marvelman et crée V pour Vendetta dans les magazines Doctor Who Weekly et Warrior. V pour Vendetta connaitra un grand succès et obtiendra de nombreux prix dont celui de meilleur album étranger à Angoulême en 1990 et vaudra à Alan Moore d'être engagé en 1983 par l'éditeur DC Comics pour travailler sur la sé...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ...

Product Description
INTRODUCTION.Grave doubts at times arise in the critical mind as to whether America has had any famous women. We are reproached with the fact, that in spite of some two hundred years of existence, we have, as yet, developed no genius in any degree comparable to that of George Eliot and George Sand in the present, or a dozen other as familiar names of the past. One at least of our prominent literary journals has formulated this reproach, and is even sceptical as to the probability of any future of this nature for American women.What the conditions have been which hindered and hampered such development, will find full place in the story of the one woman who, in the midst of obstacles that might easily have daunted a far stouter soul, spoke such words as her limitations allowed. Anne Bradstreet, as a name standing alone, and represented only by a volume of moral reflections and the often stilted and unnatural verse of the period, would perhaps, hardly claim a place in formal biography. But Anne Bradstreet, the first woman whose work has come down to us from that troublous Colonial time, and who, if not the mother, is at least the grandmother of American literature, in that her direct descendants number some of our most distinguished men of letters calls for some memorial more honorable than a page in an Encyclopedia, or even an octavo edition of her works for the benefit of stray antiquaries here and there. The direct ancestress of the Danas, of Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes, Wendell Phillips, the Channings, the Buckminsters and other lesser names, would naturally inspire some interest if only in an inquiry as to just what inheritance she handed down, and the story of what she failed to do because of the time into which she was born, holds equal meaning with that of what she did do.*****CD-ROM Edition No illustrations, not an audio CD, not a DVD, produced in a Microsoft Word Compatible format for reading, printing, copying, searching, re-selling or research. ...
