Описание: Adam Palmer, determined to defy God in revenge for his detention in an asylum, embarks on a personal quest to destroy his soul, inflicting small sustained acts of cruelty and violence on those around him. His long-suffering wife, Kathleen, struggles to maintain her self-respect in the face of her husband's gaslighting. Among the most elusive of Norah Hoult's works, Farewell Happy Fields was published in 1948 and, like many of her books, was promptly banned in Ireland. A dark comedy full of acerbic wit, it brings searing insight into a lost post-war generation of lower-middle-class women and men as they deal with shame, financial insecurity and emotional poverty. Back in print for the first time in decades, New Island is delighted to bring this startling modern Irish classic to a new generation of readers.

Описание:
Irish author (Eleanor) Norah Hoult (1898-1984) traveled in prominent literary circles and corresponded actively with some of the leading Irish authors of her time, including Brigid Brophy, Sean O'Casey, and Sean O'Faolain. Critics today compare her not only to O'Faolain and Frank O'Connor, but also to novelists Kate O'Brien and Edna O'Brien. Despite her reputation and a forty-four year publishing career, however, Hoult and her work remain surprisingly neglected.
This edition rectifies this critical oversight and introduces Hoult's short story collection, 'Poor Women ', to a new generation of readers. 'Poor Women ' displays Hoult's subtlety and humor as an author and her nature as a keen witness to human frailty. In these stories, Hoult unflaggingly highlights the restrictions imposed on her characters by society and its institutions: she thus provides a window into the social, literary and political milieu from which she hails.
Largely cited for its engagement with women's and religious issues, 'Poor Women ' thus also displays a keen awareness of wider historical issues like the challenges of war and of cultural identity construction. Her incisive portraits capture the emotional paralysis of her characters and their self-delusions. Such thematic and stylistic emphases invite further comparison to better-known contemporary Irish literary giants like James Joyce and Mary Lavin.
Описание: The essential guide to using simple twisted stitches to add interest and beauty to handknits
Master the simple and addictive art of the twisted stitch. The basics are easy to learn, and the design possibilities (and twist combinations that come to light once you begin) are almost endless. The book starts with a treasure trove of twisted stitch variations, starting with patterns made from diagonals and building from there?adding horizontal and vertical elements, combining twisted stitches with lace or polygon knitting, and pushing boundaries with patterns that twist stitches in every row for more advanced textures.
The book offers 125-plus stitch patterns, along with guidance on how the twists are engineered and how knitters can create designs of their own. Norah’s always-clear instructions are presented in a conversational, easy-to-understand voice that proceeds naturally as one twisted stitch leads to the next. Readers can test their newfound skills with the 15 garment patterns included?irresistible designs for hats, wraps, sweaters, and more.

Описание: The Mythology of the Animal Farm in Children's Literature: Over the Fence analyzes the ways in which myths about farmed animals lives are perpetuated in children s materials. Specifically, this book investigates the use of five recurring thematic devices in about eighty books for young children published during the past five decades. The close readings of texts and images draw on a wide range of fields, including animal theory, psychoanalytic and Marxian literary criticism, child development theory, histories of farming and domestication, and postcolonial theory. In spite of the underlying seriousness of the project, the material lends itself to what I hope are humorous and not overly heavy-handed explications that provide insight into the complex workings of a literary genre based on the covering up of real animal lives."

Описание: With the coming of the 20th century, the house was in decline-soon to be broken into apartments and shops, including a caf serving the increasingly poorer passing trade. For Public Health Inspector Jonathan Roper it was a disgrace that should be demolished without further ado. But whether they loved it or hated it, the the Old Vine had affected every person who came into contact with it. Their stories were woven into the house's timber, bricks and mortar; the ghosts of love, hate, jealousy, deceit and murder haunted it-and when the very fabric of the house itself was threatened, the battle for its survival must commence.

Описание: B
Suffragette, animal rights campaigner, Fascist - Norah was a rebel with many causes: an enigma to her family, although not to her comrades-in-arms.
As a suffragette, she fought alongside women whose behaviour outraged Edwardian society. Today, they are remembered as brave and inspirational, but as pioneers of women's suffrage, their struggle saw many of them imprisoned and tortured. At the same time, Norah continued a lifelong campaign for animal rights. Then, as if she didn't have enough on her hands, in 1934 she joined the ranks of the BUF.
This fictional biography explores the personality of this energetic and impassioned campaigner. For Britain, the years 1900 to 1945 were socially and politically turbulent. Idealisms rose and fell with the ideological tides. Norah's fortunes rose and fell with them in her personal battle to reshape society.
But her personal life was as dramatic as her public career. Her political passions affected her family and shaped the lives of all who knew her.
