In The Old Manor House (1794), Charlotte Smith combines elements of the romance, the Gothic, recent history, and culture to produce both a social document and a compelling novel. A "property romance," the love story of Orlando and Monimia revolves around the Manor House as inheritable property. In situating their romance as dependent on the whims of property owners, Smith critiques a society in love with money at the expense of its most vulnerable members, the dispossessed.Appendices in this edition include: contemporary responses; writings on the genre debate by Anna Letitia Barbauld, John Moore, and Walter Scott; and historical documents focusing on property laws as well as the American and French revolutions.

Este libro escrito en 1962, uno de los más breves de Marcel Jouhandeau, es, sin embargo, uno de los más intensos y lúcidos de su producción. El volumen, de aires gideanos, recoge reflexiones sobre tres de los crímenes más célebres y horrendos de su tiempo: el de los amantes de Vendôme, en el que Denise Labbé mata a su hija a causa del amor que profesa a su novio, acusado de ser el instigador; el proceso del doctor Évenou, un personaje diabólico que asesina a su mujer valiéndose de su sirvienta, Simone Deschamps, tras poner en escena una especie de ritual macabro; y el crimen del cura de Uruffe, un hombre atrapado y vencido por sus pasiones y fantasmas, quien, tras matar de un tiro a su amante, le abre el vientre y desfigura al hijo que esta llevaba en su seno.Tres casos reales, ampliamente documentados en periódicos y anales de la época, que conmovieron a la Francia de posguerra, y que Jouhandeau disecciona con habilidad de cirujano para mostrarnos los recovecos más oscuros del alm

FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF REBECCA'She wrote exciting plots . . . a writer of fearless originality' GUARDIAN'This French Revolution epic is an overlooked classic' MELISSA KATSOULIS, THE TIMES 'No other popular writer has so triumphantly defied classification . . . ' MARGARET FORSTER'Perhaps we shall not see each other again. I will write to you, though, and tell you, as best I can, the story of your family. A glass-blower, remember, breathes life into a vessel, giving it shape and form and sometimes beauty; but he can with that same breath, shatter and destroy it.'Faithful to her word, Sophie Duval reveals to her long-lost nephew the tragic story of a family of master craftsmen in eighteenth-century France. The world of the glass-blowers has its own traditions, it's own language and its own rules. 'If you marry into glass' Pierre Labbe warns his daughter, 'you will say goodbye to everything familiar, and enter a closed world'. But crashing into this world comes the violence and terror of the French Revolution against which, the family struggles to survive. The Glass-Blowers is a remarkable achievement - an imaginative and exciting reworking of du Maurier's own family history.
