Book excerpt: Five scorching-hot, suspense-filled, historical romances from “a most inventive storyteller” where deceit hides forbidden love—until the disguises come off (RT Book Reviews). In Caprice, a young widow decides on a lark to disguise herself as the mysterious Princess Soltana El Djemal—only to catch the heart of a dashing Lord who vows to discover her true identity. In Mischief, a bold young woman falls for an infamous spy while escaping Persia in 1808, but it’s when she sees him again in England that the real adventure begins. In Beguiled, a mysterious man and a desperate heiress set out to con the upper crust of nineteenth century New York—but the games they’re playing against each other are far more dangerous. In Emerald and Sapphire, a French nobleman’s secret double life as a thief is revealed—by the only woman capable of stealing his heart. And in The Gamble, a viscount masquerades as a notorious highwayman, only to discover that a woman’s heart is the hardest jewel to steal. “Laura Parker’s innovativeness and beautiful style of writing keep her a head above the rest.” —Affaire de Coeur

This book was released on 2015-01-01 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most important female English novelist of the 1720s, Eliza Haywood is famous for writing scandalous fiction about London society. Fast-moving, controversial, and sometimes disturbing, Haywood's short novels The Masqueraders and The Surprize are valuable sources for the study of eighteenth-century gender and identity, the social history of masquerade, the dangers of courtship and seduction, and conceptions of elite and popular cultures. Despite their common theme of masquerade and seduction, the two short novels are a study in contrasts. The Masqueraders features the whirl of London life, with a libertine anti-hero and his serial seductions of women who believe that they can manipulate the social conventions that are expected to limit them. The Surprize, on the other hand, is an uncharacteristically sentimental story in which a similarly salacious plot ends in rewards for the good and virtuous. Well suited to the teaching of these two texts, this volume contains annotated scholarly editions of both novels, an extensive introduction, and useful appendices that discuss the masquerade's role in eighteenth-century debates on gender, morality, and identity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Terry Castle's recent study of masquerade follows Bakhtin's analysis of the carnivalesque to conclude that, for women, masquerade offered exciting possibilities for social and sexual freedom. Castle's interpretation conforms to the fears expressed by male writers during the period&—Addison, Steele, and Fielding all insisted that masquerade allowed women to usurp the privileges of men. Female authors, however, often mistrusted these claims, perceiving that masquerade's apparent freedoms were frequently nothing more than sophisticated forms of oppression. Catherine Craft-Fairchild's work provides a useful corrective to Castle's treatment of masquerade. She argues that, in fictions by Aphra Behn, Mary Davys, Eliza Haywood, Elizabeth Inchbald, and Frances Burney, masquerade is double-sided. It is represented in some cases as a disempowering capitulation to patriarchal strictures that posit female subordination. Often within the same text, however, masquerade is also depicted as an empowering defiance of the dominant norms for female behavior. Heroines who attempt to separate themselves from the image of womanhood they consciously construct escape victimization. In both cases, masquerade is the condition of femininity: gender in the woman's novel is constructed rather than essential. Craft-Fairchild examines the guises in which womanhood appears, analyzing the ways in which women writers both construct and deconstruct eighteenth-century cultural conceptions of femininity. She offers a careful and engaging textual analysis of both canonical and noncanonical eighteenth-century texts, thereby setting lesser-read fictions into a critical dialogue with more widely known novels. Detailed readings are informed throughout by the ideas of current feminist theorists, including Luce Irigaray, Julia Kristeva, Mary Ann Doane, and Kaja Silverman. Instead of assuming that fictions about women were based on biological fact, Craft-Fairchild stresses the opposite: the domestic novel itself constructs the domestic woman.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public masquerades were a popular and controversial form of urban entertainment in England for most of the eighteenth century. They were held regularly in London and attended by hundreds, sometimes thousands, of people from all ranks of society who delighted in disguising themselves in fanciful costumes and masks and moving through crowds of strangers. The authors shows how the masquerade played a subversive role in the eighteenth-century imagination, and that it was persistently associated with the crossing of class and sexual boundaries, sexual freedom, the overthrow of decorum, and urban corruption. Authorities clearly saw it as a profound challenge to social order and persistently sought to suppress it. The book is in two parts. In the first, the author recreates the historical phenomenon of the English masquerade: the makeup of the crowds, the symbolic language of costume, and the various codes of verbal exchange, gesture, and sexual behavior. The second part analyzes contemporary literary representations of the masquerade, using novels by Richardson, Fielding, Burney, and Inchbald to show how the masquerade in fiction reflected the disruptive power it had in contemporary life. It also served as an indispensable plot-catalyst, generating the complications out of which the essential drama of the fiction emerged. An epilogue discusses the use of the masquerade as a literary device after the eighteenth century. The book contains some 40 illustrations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Masquerade, a treasured four-act play by Mikhail Yurievich Lermontov, is a classic work of Russian romanticism. In 1830s St. Petersburg, aristocrat Arbenin and Nina, his wife, attend a masked ball. In a tragic case of mistaken identity, Arbenin convinces himself that his wife is romantically involved with Prince Zvezdich. Arbenin is tragically blinded by jealousy and pride, and then a disaster happens... A celebration and examination of a classic work from the Golden Age of Russian culture, the first poetic translation by Russian American professor Alfred E. Karpovich brings The Masquerade to a new, English-speaking audience. A work of great importance, this drama examines the collision between true love and the societal prejudice of honor and dignity. In translation, it casts an inquisitive eye at the state of human dignity in the twenty-first century. Praise for The Masquerade translation The following is in reference to Dr. Alfred E. Karpovich's translation of the great Russian writer and poet Mikhail Lermontov's play : Masquerade . Thoroughly versed in classical Russian, I am a great admirer of Lermontov's works. I approached the translation with a feeling of skepticism, but was literally knocked over by the translation. Mr. Karpovich's understanding of Lermontov and fine-tuning of the English version are truly amazing. It is my pleasure to give this work the highest possible recommendation (and I hope to see it on stage). Sincerely yours, Nicholas Bobrinskoy GDOOSJ (formerly of Marymount Manhattan College Faculty, NYS; St Peter's College, author of The Golden Age of Russian Literature; Pronounce Russian Correctly and of many articles & Interviews in USA & Russia)

Cindy Hebert did too! The Masquerade of the Ball is her personal testimony of being debilitated by it all for thirteen years.

This book will give hope to the hurting and shed light on the darkness that many struggle with on a daily basis. She hopes to help unmask those hiding behind the smile while biblically encouraging about the love and grace God has for those suffering in silence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lillian often finds herself asking the question: Why me? I was Lillian booth kincaid. I was the daughter of Ramon Luzon-Kincaid and Stella booth. Two people who never really could love each other. But got together long enough to make me. My masquerade dance is over. I had to take it off my mask to revile my sadness, my grief, my shame, my pain, my lost hope, and dreams. I had to watch as my last bit of happiness got sucked down the drain.This story takes a close look at Lillian's most awkward years. It reads more like a group of snapshots then the story of Lillian's life. It explores her complex and often combative home life with her mother Stella and her equally abusive relationship with her boyfriend Xavier how it pushes her to the edge.
