The Devil's Daughter (Leisure Historical Romance)





GIVING THE DEVIL HIS DUDE
Shoveling sulfur and brimstone could really get a girl down. When her dad offered freedom from the fiery depths in exchange for one simple soul-snatching, Lucy Firr jumped at the chance. With her considerable powers of seduction, she threw herself at rancher Jed Caine. Yet instead of taking her to bed, he made her muck out the pigsty.

It would take the patience of a saint to resist the likes of Lucy Firr--and Lord knew Jed was no saint. The temptress fired his blood like no woman he'd ever met. Why she'd suddenly latched on to him, he had no idea. But the safest place for her--and her virtue--was out in the barn.

Lucy could see the heat in Jed's gaze. But it was the tenderness of his touch and his hard-won smile that undid her. She was supposed to steal his soul, yet here he was...capturing her heart.

This publication, the first devoted exclusively to The Museum of Modern Art's unrivaled Dada collection, features some seventy works-books, collages, drawings, films, paintings, photographs, photomontages, prints, readymades, and reliefs-in large reproductions accompanied by in-depth, object-focused essays by an interdepartmental group of the Museum's curators. Catalyzed by the major Dada exhibition that appeared in 2005 and 2006 in Paris and Washington, D.C. and at MoMA, the book benefits from new scholarship generated by the extraordinary opportunity the exhibition created for an international community of scholars to examine the Museum's objects beside those on loan from other institutions. The book's unique object-centered approach provides unparalleled access to the themes at the heart of this revolutionary movement. An illustrated essay by Anne Umland, Curator in the Department of Painting and Sculpture at the Museum, traces MoMA's history of collecting, exhibiting, and publishing Dada work; it is complemented by a detailed chronology. Dada in the Collection of The Museum of Modern Art is the ninth volume of Studies in Modern Art, the Museum's publication series devoted to scholarly research on its collection

A Dangerous Seduction (Harlequin Historical) Reviews

A Dangerous Seduction (Harlequin Historical)

Cornwall, 1816 His intentions were not exactly honorable.

Indian Girl, or The Dawn of Christianity by Erastus Dow Palmer

Indian Girl, or The Dawn of Christianity by Erastus Dow Palmer

Hamilton Fish, a United States senator and former governor of New York, gave Palmer a commission for an unspecified ideal piece. The artist set out the narrative content of his planned sculpture in a letter to Fish in late 1852. His first full-length figure would illustrate "the Dawn of Christianity Upon the Aborigines … [and would] symbolize the first impression of civilization upon the native of this country." He selected a young Native American woman to hold in her hands the props that unlock the symbolic intent of the sculpture: in her left hand, wild bird feathers have been forgotten in favor of the elevated crucifix in her right hand. The fleshy figure is semi-nude, dressed below the waist in a deerskin with a wampum border secured by a girdle.

Palmer began modeling the Indian Girl in 1853. The marble was begun in 1855 and completed the following year, cut at least in part by Palmer's studio assistants Charles Calverley and Launt Thompson. Soon thereafter Palmer staged his exhibition of twelve "Palmer Marbles" in New York City, with the Indian Girl as the centerpiece of the show. There was general public approbation of this work and the sculptor's obvious literary intent for it, although one critic writing about the 1856 exhibition noted, "Whatever significance [Indian Girl] may have, its story has no bearing upon the merits of the statue as a work of Art." Nonetheless, he went on to express the predominant reaction, that "in short, it is a beautiful, original composition."

Sangati: Events (Oxford India Collection)

Sangati: Events (Oxford India Collection)





Sangati is a startling insight into the lives of Dalit women who face the double disadvantage of caste and gender discrimination. Written in a colloquial style, the original Tamil version overturns the decorum and aesthetics of upper-caste, upper-class Tamil literature and culture and, in turn, projects a positive cultural identity for Dalits in general and for Dalit women in particular.
Sangati flouts received notions about what a novel should be and has no plot in the normal sense. It relates the mindscape of a Dalit woman who steps out of her small town community, only to enter a caste-ridden and hierarchical society, which constantly questions her caste status. Realizing that leaving her community is no escape, she has to come to terms with her identity as an educated, economically independent woman who chooses to live alone. In relating this tale, Bama turns Sangati into the story not just of one individual, but of a pariah community.
