Secrets that might very well cost Frey everything. Even Trinica Dracken, Frey's ex-fiancee and long-time nemesis, has given up her quest for revenge. ![]() To a place where the secrets of the past lie in wait for the unwary.

And, just for once, nobody is trying to kill them. They've got their first taste of fortune and fame. ![]() The Ketty Jay has been fixed up good as new. Things are finally looking good for Captain Frey and his crew. ![]() ![]() Each in her own time fought against the injustices women faced and wrote books that changed literary history. Both women had passionate relationships with several men, bore children out of wedlock, and chose to live in exile outside their native country. Wollstonecraft’s daughter Mary was to follow a similarly audacious path. In 1797, less than two weeks after giving birth to her second daughter, Mary Wollstonecraft died, and a remarkable life spent pushing against the boundaries of society’s expectations for women came to an end. In Romantic Outlaws, Charlotte Gordon reunites the trailblazing author who wrote A Vindication of the Rights of Woman and the Romantic visionary who gave the world Frankenstein-two courageous women who should have shared their lives, but instead shared a powerful literary and feminist legacy. ![]() Mary Wollstonecraft and Mary Shelley have each been the subject of numerous biographies, yet no one has ever examined their lives in one book-until now. This groundbreaking dual biography brings to life a pioneering English feminist and the daughter she never knew.

This confusion lends the text a dreamlike quality and seems to point out the potential danger that an overactive imagination can represent. ![]() In Frances Burney's novels, the limits between the outer world and the characters' imagination tend to be blurred. ![]() La prise en compte de l'influence des courants de pensée de la période, en particulier des philosophes sensualistes, permet une meilleure compréhension de ces contradictions apparentes Les frontières sont brouillées, révélant la complexité de ces œuvres et de la position de l'auteur. De même, Burney semble envisager l'imagination artistique comme essentiellement imitative mais lui accorde également un rôle créateur. L'imagination féminine est tantôt associée au corps et à la sensualité, tantôt à la raison, et l'opposition entre imagination et raison, corps et esprit, n'est parfois plus si nette. Néanmoins, cette faculté semble également constituer un moyen pour les femmes de se libérer du carcan des règles imposées par la société. Dans les romans de Frances Burney, la limite entre l'imaginaire des personnages féminins et le monde extérieur devient parfois floue et cette confusion, qui confère au récit une atmosphère onirique, révèle les dangers potentiels d'une imagination exacerbée. ![]() ![]() In the Christian world, we can find all sorts of excuses not to obey God's voice: "It's the preacher's job." "It's not my gift." "I've already served, let someone else do it." "I'm too busy or too tired or too old or too young." I can't get off the john, but I feel good about it." We are skillful at the art of making excuses, aren't we? "I don't know how." "I didn't understand." "I couldn't find the right tools." "The voices told me to clean all the guns today." "I threw out my back bowling." "I have a Doctor's appointment." "There's been a death in the family." "The hazmat crew is here and won't let me out of the house." "I have a relative coming in from Hawaii and I need to pick them up at the airport." And, my all time favorite: "When I got up this morning I accidentally took two Ex-Lax in addition to my Prozac.

Though he was an old man then, he was thrilled to hear that name again. When Hurston first met Lewis at this home in Alabama, she called him by his African name: Kossula.
