    Extractions: been the joie de vivre she brought to a gloomy American left. By ALEXANDER COCKBURN Photograph by Ed Kashi ECCA MITFORD, taken off the stage at the age of 78 by cancer, had a voice so confident in its intonations that it vanquished furtiveness and shame like a thresher going through a field of wheat. A friend of mine once went to a session on censorship at a concert hall in San Francisco. The place was stuffed with righteous folk of correct disposition, many of them taking the position that porn prompted men to acts of darkness, and that maybe some fine-tuning of the First Amendment would be no bad thing. Explaining that the fine-tuning might not be in the hands of thoughtful persons such as those mustered in the concert hall but of nastier types like J. Helms and E. Meese, Decca started discussing the porn films she had been watching with her husband, Bob Truehaft, as part of her researches into filth. There had, she said, been "a man with a most enormous penis, perched on a motorbike with a woman. I said to Bob, 'That looks frightfully dangerous.'" Then she started raising questions about working conditions in the porn industry, industrial comp and other important aspects of the situation. The way Decca bugled out the word "penis," entered it triumphantly into the concert hall after the adjectival build-up of "enormous" in her plummy tones, changed the entire mood of the gathering. "Penis" lost the furtive, indeed shameful connotation with which it had become burdened in that oh-so-correct concert hall. Ennobled by her imperious tongue, it was amply endowed with a sort of bluff heartiness just like the hunting parsons Decca must have seen in her aristocratic youth. "Mornin' Miss Mitford!" "And a jolly good morning to you, Mr. P."

    Extractions: I have never run into Lapierre describing natural phenomena before - his books are very urban, and I was surprised at how well he could do it. The descriptions of the droughts and monsoon floods are horribly effective, and he manages to capture the irrational joy which we who live places with an absolute dry season feel at the year's first rains, and our reluctance to admit to ourselves when excessive rain is turning into a disaster. Hardcover Collections of short essays of identical length, essays of the sort which appeared as a 'column' in a periodical, are usually bad. Some are silly and cute, while some of the more famous ones are silly and pretentious (I admit, though, that Lewis Thomas' fast-food profundity cannot be used as an example because it is in a class of its own.) "Confessions" tend to be of the silly and cute variety, with confessions written by middle-aged women being the cutest. It is therefore surprising that Sue Townsend has some interesting things to say, especially if you read between the lines. She sees herself as being in essentially good health, even though she apparently has insulin-dependent diabetes and at the time when one of the essays was written was losing her vision as a result. She is capable of admitting that she has a husband without being either embarrassed or condescending. And she is capable of mentioning menopause without confusing it with the Magna Carta.

Amazon.com sales rank: Average customer rating: Buy from Amazon.co.uk Having read the Mitford series by Jan Karon, I was thrilled to discover she also has written children's books. I know a lady just like Miss Fannie at my church. It's a wonderful story for old and young alike. My women's group had everyone wear hats to their May meeting and shared this book with all the gals. They loved it. And the surprise at the back of the book is really enjoyed by my granddaughters. A highly recommended story about the joy of sharing Jan Karon's Miss Fannie's Hat is a picture book for young Christian readers, about a little old lady who loves her hats - yet when her church needs help, she gives up her favorite hat of all for their auction. Playful color illustrations by Toni Goffe mark this whimsical and highly recommended story about the joy of sharing. A cheerfully narrated audio CD accompanies this special edition Christian storybook.

    Extractions: My wife and I have read each of Karon's Mitford books aloud to each other over the past few years. I enjoyed this book more than I had the previous two in the series. I think that the new locale and the fresh characters really breathed new life into the series. I know from book blurbs that the next installments of the series will be returning to Mitford. I almost wish the author would spend another book in Whitecap, the setting of this book. If there is one disappointment for me with this book, it is that Karon couldn't resist the temptation to resolve a neat ending for the Jeffrey Tolson character. Sometimes it's better to let the readers speculate about the fate of secondary characters, and I think this was a perfect case for just that sort of a vague or unstated ending. If anyone wondered whether the author had enough creativity to go beyond Mitford, I think this book provides an affirmative answer. In my opinion this is the best book since her first one (_At Home in Mitford_)

52. Anglo-Italian Studies
    The plot of Jane Eyre was conveyed by letter to Elizabeth Barrett Browning byher great friend, Miss Mitford. The novel clearly disturbed Elizabeth.

    Extractions: web hosting domain names email addresses CHARLOTTE'S JANE EYRE AND ELIZABETH'S AURORA LEIGH E ssential to our understanding of the Victorian era are the novels read and written by women.[1] The attitude of most men towards these books could be, however, scornful. Elizabeth Barrett Browning, for all her masculine learning in Greek, Hebrew and Chaldean, loved novel reading. She admitted defensively to Robert Browning, clouding her confession in an acceptable archaism: ' I am very fond of romances ; yes! . . . I am one who could have forgotten the plague, listening to Boccaccio's stories; and I am not ashamed of it'. [2] In those letters written in her Wimpole Street sickroom days, she and Robert duelled with poetic erudition and Elizabeth, though she declared she was not ashamed, finally confessed to her obsession for novels as if it were a weakness as culpable as her opium addiction. Robert cuttingly did not respond to her enthusiasm for the genre. She particularly admired George Sand - of whom Robert could not approve. He had written scathingly of Sand's Consuelo in the Letters, August 14, 1845: 'I shall tell you frankly that it strikes me as precisely what in conventional language with the customary silliness is styled a

Part VIII hen one turns from Miss Mitford's works to the notices in the biographical dictionary (in which Miss Mitford and Mithridates occupy the same page), one finds how firmly her reputation is established. 'Dame auteur,' says my faithful mentor, the Biographic Generale, 'consideree comme le peintre le plus fidele de la vie rurale en Angleterre.' 'Author of a remarkable tragedy, "Julian," in which Macready played a principal part, followed by "Foscari," "Rienzi," and others,' says the English Biographical Dictionary. 'I am charmed with my new cottage,' she writes soon after her last installation; 'the neighbours are most kind.' Kingsley was one of the first to call upon her. 'He took me quite by surprise in his extraordinary fascination,' says the old lady. Another of Miss Mitford's great friends was John Ruskin,* and one can well imagine how much they must have had in common. Of Miss Mitford's writings Ruskin says, 'They have the playfulness and purity of the "Vicar of Wakefield" without the naughtiness of its occasional wit, or the dust of the world's great road on the other side of the hedge. . . . ' *It is Mr. Harness who says, writing of Ruskin and Miss Mitford, 'His kindness cheered her closing days. He sent her every book that would interest, every delicacy that would strengthen her.'

    Extractions: by Mary Russell Mitford Terms Contents Introduction by Anne Thackeray Ritchie Part II ... The Fall of the Leaf. Part V An enthusiastic American critic who comes over to England emphasises the situation. Mr. Willis's 'superlative admiration' seems to give point to everything, and to all the enthusiasm. Miss Austen's Collins himself could not have been more appreciative, not even if Miss de Burgh had tried her hand at a MS. . . . Could heMr. Willischoose, he would have tragedy once a year from Miss Mitford's pen. 'WHAT an intoxicating life it is,' he cries; 'I met Jane Porter and Miss Aikin and Tom Moore and a troop more beaux esprits at dinner yesterday! I never shall be content elsewhere.' Miss Mitford's own letters speak in a much more natural voice. 'I never could understand what people could find to like in my letters,' Miss Mitford writes, 'unless it be that they have a ROOT to them.' The root was in her own kind heart. Miss Mitford may have been wanting a little in discrimination, but she was never wanting in sympathy. She seems to have loved people for kindness's sake indiscriminately as if they were creations of her own brain: but to friendliness or to trouble of any sort she responds with fullest measure. Who shall complain if some rosy veil coloured the aspects of life for her? 'Among the many blessings I enjoy,my dear father, my admirable mother, my tried and excellent friends,there is nothing for which I ought to thank God so earnestly as for the constitutional buoyancy of spirits, the aptness to hope, the will to be happy WHICH I INHERIT FROM MY FATHER,' she writes. Was ever filial piety so irritating as hers? It is difficult to bear, with any patience, her praises of Dr. Mitford. His illusions were no less a part of his nature than his daughter's, the one a self-centred absolutely selfish existence, the other generous, humble, beautiful. She is hardly ever really angry except when some reports get about concerning her marriage. There was an announcement that she was engaged to one of her own clan, and the news spread among her friends. The romantic Mrs. Hofland had conjured up the suggestion, to Miss Mitford's extreme annoyance. It is said Mrs. Hofland also married off Miss Edgeworth in the same manner.
