Impossible Saints by Clarissa Harwood5/31/2023 This frustrating but tender romance, teetering between hope and despair, doubtless represents many relationships challenged by change. Paul’s willingness to listen leads to a fragile understanding, which Lilia almost destroys. Must he sacrifice his principles to win Lilia’s love? Or is compromise possible? Does he want an old-fashioned wife or an equal partner? While Lilia is defending her opinions, however, Paul slowly falls in love with her and begins to reexamine his personal goals. Paul and Lilia see each other regularly (supposedly to please Lilia’s mother), but whenever they meet, their conversations inevitably turn into disputes, each taking the opposite position. Paul is an ambitious Anglican priest he envisions a compliant wife to help advance his career. Lilia, once a country schoolteacher, is a passionate advocate for women’s rights. Although they left the same village for London, they have little else in common. Wherever the issues are debated, people take sides silently or, like Lilia Brooke and Paul Harris, outspokenly. As the women’s suffrage movement grows more militant, public opinion on women’s rights becomes sharply divided.

The perfect king ian mortimer5/31/2023 Yet, in this first full study of the King's character and life, Dr Ian Mortimer unveils that behind the strong warrior king was a compassionate, conscientious and often merciful man - resolute yet devoted to his wife, friends and family, and the father of both the English nation and the English people. Holding power for over fifty years starting in 1327, Edward III was one of Englands most influential kings, and one who shaped the course of English. Dr Ian Mortimer is the author of the bestselling Time Traveller's Guide to Elizabethan England and Time Traveller's Guide to Medieval England, eight other books and many peer-reviewed articles on English history between the fourteenth and eighteenth centuries. Nineteenth century historians saw in Edward the opportunity to decry a warmonger, and painted him as a self-seeking, rapacious, tax-gathering conqueror. He ordered his uncle to be beheaded he usurped his father's throne he started a war which lasted for more than a hundred years, and taxed his people more than any other previous king. From the bestselling author of The Time Traveller's Guide to Medieval England, comes the story of King Edward III, who - like Elizabeth and Victoria after him - embodied the values of his age, forged a nation out of war and re-made England. Most often, transgender studies is characterized as not grappling directly with race, colonialism, and imperialism, while Latina/o/x studies can at times be read as treating transgender subjects as objects, or sites of inquiry. There are myriad ways in which the fields of transgender studies and Latinx studies overlap and depart from each other. The result of the two works is the emergence of the “new mestiza” and the “posttranssexual,” two figures that come to shape the fields of transgender, Chicana/o/x, and Latinx studies, respectively. Foundational theoretical works such as Sandy Stone’s “A Posttransexual Manifesto” (1991) and Gloria Anzaldúa’s Borderlands (1987) share a theoretical approach to understanding autoethnographic texts that propose to write minoritarian subjects into discourse. Yet, there are many gaps in the literature of the field when it comes to the study of trans subjectivities, politics, and cultural formations. The field of Latina/o/x studies has long been interested in various forms of gender and sexual deviance and diversity as a site of inquiry.
