Tietoja minusta I teach 16th and 17th British literature, particularly drama. I read a lot of fiction--historical novels set in many places and time periods, contemporary British fiction, classics, and more. Fiction keeps me sane in the midst of reading stacks of freshman essays!

Yes, I do know Stan. I never actually had any classes with him. I was finished with courses by the time he arrived. What a small world!

Hi Deborah
I really liked Conceit by Mary Novik- this is a first novel and I was really impressed. Novik tells the story in the voices of very young and then old Pegge, John Donne as he is dying and his wife Ann as she is in her grave. I think that the descriptions ring true and some of the narrative is a little morbid but good. I wished that Novik had put a reading list of her sources ( one fault ) as I am now curious to find out more. Certainly the story of family life during the 1600's is fascinating to me and the fate of women is really interesting and sad- many births, early marriages, many deaths.
I was also glad to read a woman author's view after the fantasies of Rushdie and opinions of Tahir Shah!
Regards
Cyrel

Deborah: After pursuing a Ph.D. in early 20th century American fiction several years ago (and deciding, when it came time to start the dissertation, that I didn't enjoy writing nearly as much as I should to be successful), I stopped reading a lot of the classics. I was burned out. I turned to a lot of contemporary fiction and some non-fiction. Now I'm trying to get back to reading some of the classics, with a goal to read at least 10 "canonical" novels this year. I've just started The Age of Innocence for the Group Reads group (which I read in college) and plan to re-read some Cather and Faulkner when I have the chance. Anyway, I'll be peeking through your library for ideas. :)

On Ophelia - I was going to guess Rossetti, so it seems I wasn't too far off!

Deborah: I'm looking for more types of fiction to read, as I've been trapped in the "current literary fiction" type for awhile now. Your 2008 reading list is like a breath of fresh air, so I thought I'd stalk you through Connections to see what else you're reading. ;)

P.S. Is that Ophelia as your profile picture? Who's the artist? It's quite lovely.

You are so very welcome Deborah.

The Pevear and Volokhonsky translation was wonderful and so readable yet retaining the sense of time and the 'historicity' of the period. I also speak French so to me the french passages added to the thrill of the read. It was simply the most wonderful read of my life so far. I approached it very much with the sense of 'knowing myself', what I knew would support and encourage me as I approached it. My 'approach' would not be for everyone! I also ignored all the intellectual snobbery and thinking that surrounded the book. I used maps and referred to all the notes in the lovely Vintage edition. The feel of the slightly linen type of cover appealed as well and made the holding of the book such a pleasure. Invariably I used my multi coloured stick it book marks to hold the place for notes etc!
As I read more deeply I developed an almost evangelistic zeal and would want all those who show an interest to feel able and confident to take on the book. I am sorry I came to it so relatively late in life as re-readings will provide such reflection and thought - more than sufficient for a single lifetime I imagine!

Deborah,

Thanks for all your advice on the Shakespeare reads.

I found another one in the library that I have borrowed for a browse- "Decoding a Hidden Life' by Rene Weis. There seems to be alot of recent books about Shakespeare which amazes me considering how little is actually known of the person.

Thanks again. I am a latecomer to the Bard, cos although we did a few plays in school and go regularly to plays in the summer, I have found only recent enjoyment in further understanding the his work.

Cheers,

Karen

Hi:

I just read your comment about teaching freshmen and looking for new works dealing with immigration. This may be a little too young for your audience, but perhaps not. I have also posted some other titles in that thread.

I have just come across a Young Adult title dealing with immigration from Bangladesh to the US. I have not read it yet, but it looks promising, with good blurbs from Booklist and Kirkus Reviews, and nominations for multiple awards in 2007. It is called Ask Me No Questions and is by Marina Budhos.

Hallo, don't wish to impose, but I notice that you're currently reading North and South. This morning's Guardian has an article by Jenny Uglow that might interest you...
All the best, Carolyn

Almost forgot: the painting is by Bouguereau and is called The Story Book. Happy New Year!!

Thanks so much for adding me as a friend. I was in awe when I saw your library. You have quite the mind!! By the way can I mention how much I love this site. How else would I get to meet such great readers as yourself?

To answer your question: I have not catalogued most of my books as I sometimes get overwhelmed while doing it.But its fun though. I also think that your idea to catalogue them once I get them is the best way.

Back to your library, I am getting so many reading ideas from your catalogue. My books to read has grown so large just from looking at your library. I think I may have discovered a whole new world of historical fiction just from looking at your stuff. Previously, the only historical novels I had heard of were Phillippa Gregory's stuff(which I am yet to really read).

Anyways, thanks again!! Hope to talk to you more.

You're welcome! I like your picture, too (but then, I do have a Waterhouse calendar up on my wall -- which has another of the same subject on its cover).

I posted the full details of my picture on my own profile -- you're not the first person to ask about it -- but it's a painting at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The artist is Samuel F. B. Morse. If I remember the card at the museum from the last time I was up there, the sitter is his daughter. It's an even more striking painting in person, partly because it really needs to be seen full-size. True, the effect isn't quite the same as Leutze's painting (also used on the cover of Washington's Crossing), but still worth seeing "live" next time you're in town. And yes, the Leutze painting is also at the Met.

How fascinating! I did my undergraduate degree at Dickinson College. The area is unbelievably beautiful.

Yes, your location is perfect without question--not that distant from 2 major metropolitan/cultural centers.

Hi Deborah-
I'm an actress, and I'm passionate about Shakespeare and the Jacobean playwrights which explains my love of English history from that period. Your library is great! I just finished reading "Imposture", and I quite enjoyed it. Any recommendations?

Cheers,
Rachel

PS I assume that your member name is in reference to "The Duchess of Malfi" :)

We have some wonderful historical novels in common, and I enjoy Jude Morgan's books as well. (He's written many other historicals as T.R. Wilson, if you're not familiar with his earlier work.)
If you decide to take a look at my historical fiction guide, I hope you enjoy it!
