If she wanted to buy flowers, the car pulled up at that perfect shop in Regent Street, and Rosemary inside the shop just gazed in her dazzled, rather exotic way, and said: “I want those and those and those. But if Rosemary wanted to shop she would go to Paris as you and I would go to Bond Street. They were rich, really rich, not just comfortably well off, which is odious and stuffy and sounds like one’s grandparents. Pretty? Well, if you took her to pieces… But why be so cruel as to take anyone to pieces? She was young, brilliant, extremely modern, exquisitely well dressed, amazingly well read in the newest of the new books, and her parties were the most delicious mixture of the really important people and… artists-quaint creatures, discoveries of hers, some of them too terrifying for words, but others quite presentable and amusing.

To my utter shock, his crazy plan worked. I was hesitant, but went along with it anyway. Eventually, Declan concocted an idea: we should pretend to be a couple to make our love interests jealous. We even started to give each other advice on getting our crushes to notice us. After he moved in, the two of us became the best of friends. So it wasn’t like anything would happen romantically. ![]() It wasn’t like I had another viable candidate anyway. ![]() Then cupcakes showed up at my door-freshly baked by Declan and just as sinfully delicious as he was. While he was amusing and charismatic, I wouldn’t have been comfortable living with a man, so I regretfully declined. Declan Tate talked me into interviewing him anyway. I’d definitely requested the big guy find me a drop-dead gorgeous man on more than one occasion…just not as my roommate. Until a knock at my door came and God answered my prayers. Those feelings we were trying to fake? Yeah…I wasn’t pretending anymore.įinding a good roommate through a classified ad isn’t as easy as it sounds. NOT PRETENDING ANYMORE, an all new fake relationship contemporary romance from New York Times Bestselling Authors, Penelope Ward and Vi Keeland, is coming April 12th, and I’ve got an excerpt to share with you today! ![]() ![]() The book is a pathbreaking dissection of the hand that Western medicine has dealt women since the first womb wandered in the fourth century BCE. Shippen evaded the noose by weaponising this vague and complex diagnosis within the broader framework of women’s place in the world, a mammoth history expertly chronicled by Dr Elinor Cleghorn in Unwell Women: A Journey Through Medicine & Myth in a Man-Made World. Part of the success of her deceit lay in historical understandings of hysteria, whose symptoms ran the gamut from hallucinations to fits to blindness, and which has arguably become one of the foremost cultural reference points for medical misogyny today – even going viral on Twitter from time to time. ![]() Shippen, of course, later professed herself the mastermind behind it all a master spy in her own right, her hysterics were no more than a clever ruse. “She for a considerable time intirely lost her senses fell into a convulsion … We have every reason to believe she was intirely unacquainted with the plan.” “It was the most affecting scene I ever was witness to,” none other than Alexander Hamilton later wrote. ![]() Military officer’s wife and socialite Peggy Shippen learns that her husband has betrayed the Revolutionary cause. Georgia Poplett talks to author Elinor Cleghorn about her book Unwell Women, and explores the history, beliefs, and language surrounding the all-pervasive culture of medical misogyny in the West.ĬW: This feature discusses sexual and medical violence. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The similarities between these two fictional works are extensive, and the resemblance is certainly not accidental, as Lewis was a professor of the humanities at Oxford and therefore was obviously well acquainted with Dante's epic poem. What similarities does this novel bear to the Divine Comedy of Dante? The title also refers to the harsh divergence of paths ('divorce') after a person's death into the dual realms of Heaven and Hell. Although he claims not to be attacking Blake in the preface, Lewis's stark dichotomy of Heaven and Hell contrasts dramatically with the cosmology promoted by the Romantic poet. Over a century later, Lewis addresses this so-called "marriage" with this novel, which he entitled The Great Divorce (prompted by his publisher) in reference to the aforementioned 'marriage' of Blake. William Blake, one of the major influential figures of Romantic poetry, published a book in the late 18th century called The Marriage of Heaven and Hell, in which he explores (via a similar narrative device, visiting Hell in a dream) the natures of Heaven and Hell, which he paints as being not diametrically opposed but coexisting in a bound state he refers to as "marriage."

What is it that breaks down in Lear? How important are the gods? How Christian is Lear? What do we make of Bedlam Tom's gibberish? Why is Edgar so important? To what extent is Nature being questioned? How does Shakespeare show us a world reduced to "nothing"? Does the play undermine language itself? How sympathetic is Shakespeare's treatment of women in Lear? Where does Lear leave us in the end? How does Lear look forward to Beckett and the Theatre of the Absurd?
