The island of Ireland, north and south, has produced a great diversity of writing in both English and Irish for hundreds of years, often using the memories embodied in its competing views of history as a fruitful source of literary inspiration. Placing Irish literature in an international context, these two volumes explore the connection between Irish history and literature, in particular the Rebellion of 1798, in a more comprehensive, diverse and multi-faceted way than has often been the case in the past. The fifty-three authors bring their national and personal viewpoints as well as their critical judgements to bear on Irish literature in these stimulating articles. The contributions also deal with topics such as Gothic literature, ideology, and identity, as well as gender issues, connections with the other arts, regional Irish literature, in particular that of the city of Limerick, translations, the works of Joyce, and comparisons with the literature of other nations. The contributors are all members of IASIL (International Association for the Study of Irish Literatures). Back to the Present: Forward to the Past. Irish Writing and History since 1798 will be of interest to both literary scholars and professional historians, but also to the general student of Irish writing and Irish culture.

Aquest llibre d'assajos presenta una panoràmica del desenvolupament del teatre nord-americà des de principis del segle XIX fins a l'actualitat. Mostra els canvis que el teatre va reflectir a mesura que creixia el país i es modificava la societat. Amb cada dècada, una expressió més completa de la cultura nord-americana, amb la seva gran varietat, apareixia en obres de teatre, musicals i revistes. Els assajos analitzen els esforços de figures marginals -sobretot dramaturgs i productors no comercials, afro-americans i dones- per dur a terme una ampliació de l'espectre del teatre nord-americà quant a la dramatúrgia, disseny, representació i construcció dramàtica.

#1 New York Times bestselling author Linda Lael Miller is the queen of western romance—past and present! McKettrick's Choice. It's 1888, and Holt McKettrick races back to Texas—to save both the man who raised him and his old friend, Gabe, sentenced to the gallows after a hasty trial. When he gets there, he meets Lorelei Fellowes, the judge's daughter—and a woman notorious for burning her wedding dress in the town square. Holt has a bride-to-be waiting in Arizona, but maybe the strong-willed Lorelei is the woman he should choose! Sierra's Homecoming. When single mom Sierra McKettrick, a direct descendant of Holt and Lorelei, moves to her family's ancestral ranch in Arizona, she's equally attracted to, and disconcerted by, the Triple M's handsome caretaker, Travis Reid. Then her son claims to see a mysterious boy in the house, and an heirloom teapot keeps popping up... In 1919, widow Hannah McKettrick lived at the ranch with her son and her brother-in-law, Doss. Her confused feelings for Doss occupied her thoughts—until the family teapot started disappearing. Could Sierra and Hannah be living parallel lives? Let Linda Lael Miller take you home to the West you love—the way it was then, and the way it is now!
