Oxford world's classicsIncludes bibliographical references.When the aristocratic Lady Isabel abandons her husband & children for her wicked seducer, more is at stake than moral retribution. This edition returns for the first time to the racy, slang-ridden narrative of the first edition, rather than the subsequent stylistically 'improved' versions.'Coward! Sneak! May good men shun him, from henceforth! may his Queen refuse to receive him! You, an earl's daughter! Oh, Isabel! How utterly you have lost yourself!' When the aristocratic Lady Isabel abandons her husband and children for her wicked seducer, more is at stake than moral retribution. Ellen Wood played upon the anxieties of the Victorian middle classes who feared a breakdown of the social order as divorce became more readily available and promiscuity threatened the sanctity of the family. In her novel the simple act of hiring a governess raises the spectres of murder, disguise, and adultery. Her sensation novel was devoured by readers from the Prince of Wales to Joseph Conrad and continued to fascinate theatre-goers and cinema audiences well into the next century. This edition returns for the first time to the racy, slang-ridden narrative of the first edition, rather than the subsequent stylistically 'improved' versions hitherto reproduced by modern editors.Runaway wivesFictionIllegitimate childrenFictionAccident victimsFictionGovernessesFictionSeductionFictionEnglandFictionFranceFictionPsychological fiction.Classics.eflchElectronic books.lcshRunaway wivesIllegitimate childrenAccident victimsGovernessesSeduction823.8Wood HenryMrs.,1814-1887.805373Jay Elisabeth384673StDuBDSStDuBDSStDuBDSZUkPrAHLSBOOK9910154341503321East Lynne2960951UNINA01803nam0 22003731i 450 UON0049678620231205105356.450978-02-311-4756-920190723d2009 |0itac50 baengUS|||| |||||Tamil oratory and the Dravidian aestheticdemocratic practice in South IndiaBernard BateNew YorkColumbia University Press2009xxiv, 251 p.ill.24 cm001UON003200782001 Cultures of historyNicholas Dirks, series editorLETTERATURA POPOLARE TAMILUONC095520FILingua e culturaIndiaStoriaUONC053158FILingua tamilIndiaMaduraiRetoricaUONC095522FIMADURAI (India)Politica e governoUONC095524FIPOESIA EPICA TAMILUONC095521FIPolitica e culturaIndiaMaduraiUONC095523FIUSNew YorkUONL000050494.811LINGUA TAMIL22BATEBernardUONV242414766241Columbia University PressUONV245917650ITSOL20251024RICAhttps://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/uniorit-ebooks/detail.action?docID=908744https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/uniorit-ebooks/detail.action?docID=908744UON00496786SIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEOSI SI SHIVA 038 SI 30933 7 038 SIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEOSI SI SHIVA 038 DOPPIO SI 31705 7 038 DOPPIO Tamil oratory and the Dravidian aesthetic1558646UNIOR1
