For those that already know Flora Thompson's work it also has considerable biographical interest for it reveals a number of new aspects of her life and personality which will be a revelation: the methods she used to overcome her insecurity as a writerher literary models and idealsand her dreams of a more leisured and creative life than that of wife to the postmaster of a small Hampshire town.Despite the sense of frustration and disappointment which she carried with her all her lifeeverything she wrote is imbued with robust common sensewisdom and humour. The book is charmingly illustrated throughout with woodcuts and b/w line illustrations by C.F.Tunnicliffe mostly dating from the same period as the text.                                                Please contact rpaxtonden@blueyonder.co.uk because of the weight/ value of this itemfor correctinsured shipping Pp quotes - particularly ALL overseas buyers - BEFORE ordering through the order page!</p> LONDON.CENTURY,1986. hardcover‎

‎New York: Wiley & Long 1834. First edition. Hardcover. Fair. 8vo 187 pages lacks free endpaper and half-title small waterstain at head of spine original diced cloth lacks top half of spine front hinge broken. <br/><br/>Presentation Copy from the Author to his Wife: " A New Year's Gift for / my Dear Wife from / her true Scotchman / Grant / 1st January 1859; " With inked note that "I received this book from / Grant Thorburn's widow July /81". A remarkable character Thorburn emigrated from Scotland to New York in 1794. He evolved from being a nailmaker to prominent seedsman. He was the inspiration for the protagonist "Lawrie Todd" in John Galt's triple-decker LAWRIE TODD OR THE SETTLERS IN THE WOODS 1830. He married his third wife in 1853. This work is vigorous counter-point to the travel books by Frances Trollope and Isaac Fidler from 1832. It is highly opinionated and provoked a short book response by William Carver A BONE TO GNAW FOR GRANT THORBURN. Note: with at least one pencilled gloss probably by the 1881 owner.

‎Thurman Judith‎

‎Cleopatra's Nose: 39 Varieties of Desire‎

‎Farrar Straus & Giroux 2007. Book. Fine. Hardcover. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. Like-new condition. Appears unread. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Price insid edustcover: $27.95. Tight spine bright pages. NO writing marks or tears. 429 pages. "Men and women suffer from grandiosity in different ways. Men tend toward fantasies of omnipotence women of uniqueness" Judith Thurman posited in a 2002 essay on Catherine Millet. This latter claim -- that womanhood is somehow allied with the pursuit of singularity -- lies at the center of Thurman's new essay collection Cleopatra's Nose: 39 Varieties of Desire an insightful composite of two decades worth of her writings for The New Yorker. Impressive in their range yet grounded in a common sensibility the essays of Cleopatra's Nose taken together represent a cultural history of extravagance at the turn of the millennium from its fashion icons Balenciaga Armani to its fads artisanal tofu exercise bulimia. The collection occasionally loses sight of its overarching conceit proving stronger when it remains in the world of couture than when it ventures into literary criticism but these conceptual detours rarely detract from Thurman's authority as an arbiter of culture. She has a knack for describing textures -- those of both fabrics and lives -- in a way that captures the longing and indeed the variousness of our collective desires. --Amelia Atlas Synopsis: Cleopatra's Nose is an exuberant gathering of essays and profiles representing twenty years of Judith Thurman's celebrated writing particularly her fascination with human vanity femininity and women's work - from haute couture to literature to commanding empires. The subjects are iconic Jackie the Bront�s Toni Morrison Anne Frank and multifarious tofu and performance art pornography and platform shoes kimonos and bulimia; all inspire dazzling displays of craft wit penetration and intelligence. Here we find explorations of voracity: hunger for sex food experience and transcendence; see how writers from Flaubert to Nadine Gordimer have engaged with history; meet eminent Victorians and the greats of fashion. Whether reporting on hairstyles strolling the halls of power or deftly unpacking novels and their writers Thurman never fails to provoke inspire captivate and enlighten. Cleopatra's Nose is an embarrassment of riches from one of our great literary journalists. The New York Times - Kathryn Harrison The essays collected in Cleopatra's Nose whose 39 subjects Thurman classifies as "varieties of desire" are their author's attempts "through a feat of style" to "prove my existence to intelligent skeptics none more skeptical than I am." As readers of Thurman's much-praised biographies of Isak Dinesen and Colette might guess she has succeeded. Blessed with intellectual curiosity a sharp wit and an unwillingness to receive opinions Judith Thurman seems unlikely to produce anything less than a feat of style. Not all of these essays published with the exception of one by The New Yorker between 1987 and 2007 are long consequential or fully realized a few shorter and less incisive can fairly be called musings but as a collection of cultural criticism they are plenty good enough to preserve for posterity: they make an excellent book Lesser critics do postmortems; Thurman is a master of vivisection. When she's done with a subject it's still living mystery intact. Biography Judith Thurman is the author of Isak Dinesen: The Life of a Storyteller winner of the National Book Award and Secrets of the Flesh: A Life of Colette. A staff writer at The New Yorker she lives in New York City. Farrar Straus & Giroux Hardcover‎
