Real Reads Moby Dick
Book SynopsisAmong the crew is Ishmael, the novel's narrator, ordinary sailor, and extraordinary reader. Digressive, allusive, vulgar, transcendent, the story Ishmael tells is above all an education: in the practice of whaling, in the art of writing. Expanding to equal his ‘mighty theme’ – not only the whale but all things sublime – Melville breathes in the world's great literature. Moby Dick is the greatest novel ever written by an American.

Broadview Press Ltd The Governess: or, The Little Female Academy
Book SynopsisPublished in 1749, the story of Mrs. Teachum and the nine pupils who make up her “little female academy” is widely recognized as the first full-length novel for children, and the first to be aimed specifically at girls. The daily experiences of Mrs. Teachum’s charges are interwoven with fables and fairy tales illustrating the book’s underlying principles, which draw on contemporary theories of education and virtue. As central to the history of the novel as it is to the development of children’s literature, The Governess is a pioneering work by one of the eighteenth century's most respected women writers.This Broadview edition includes a critical introduction that places The Governess in its cultural and literary context; appendices include examples of eighteenth-century educational literature and selections from Fielding’s correspondence.Trade ReviewWith this fine edition of Sarah Fielding’s so-called ‘children’s novel,’ Candace Ward has provided an extraordinary service to students, critics, and readers of eighteenth-century writing. In the context of debates over the novel's origins, The Governess appears at once to extend and to challenge the mandates of early modern fiction. More than that, this superb edition enlarges our understanding of the essentially social nature of novel reading, a feature Sarah Fielding built into her own unique conception of the genre.” - Mike Hill, University at Albany, State University of New YorkTable of ContentsAcknowledgementsIntroductionSarah Fielding: A Brief ChronologyA Note on the TextThe Governess; or,The Little Female AcademyAppendix A: Sarah Trimmer’s Review of The Governess in The Guardian of Education (June 1802)Appendix B: Selected Correspondence of Sarah FieldingAppendix C: Excerpts from Sarah Fielding’s Remarks on ‘Clarissa’ (1749)Appendix D: Excerpts from Eighteenth-Century Educational Literature From John Locke, Some Thoughts Concerning Education (1693) From John Gregory, A Father’s Legacy to His Daughters (1774) From Thomas Day, The History of Sandford and Merton (1784) From Sarah Trimmer, Fabulous Histories (1786) From Mary Wollstonecraft, Original Stories from Real Life (1788) From Mary Wollstonecraft, A Vindication of the Rights of Woman (1792) From Mrs. Sherwood, The Governess (1822) Select Bibliography
