‎Radhakrishna Goswami‎

‎Vaishnava Women of India [Hardcover]‎

‎ABOUT THE BOOK:- From pre-historic stages women have been tortured, raped, sold even to embrace death by committing suicide or accepting 'Sati' culture and were affected with other social and domestic violences. They were always considered as weakers than masculine world of muscles. Although in India; in the ages of the Vedas, women were equally participants in the rituals and also as composers of various hymns but gradually their stayals and activities were confined in domestic world. However, many of them came forward alone or with their counterparts to work for the development, to bring light in the darkness of the society. At the advent of Vaishnavism led by Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu women, despite performing all their domestic duties were involved in spreading Vaishnavism and glorified it. The book, originally written in Bengali by Dr. Uma Bandopadhyay were in two parts elaborating the lives of Vaishnavite women. The present writer whose' Sri Chaitanyadev and Gadadhar fetched fame has chosen ranging from 3005 BC.(or 8th century AD) to 19th century. Vaishnava devotees translated in abridged and edited form of 108 lives of women in English. It is sure that thousands of women devotees still remain whom to be remembered. ABOUT THE AUTHOR:- Radhakrishna Goswami (Radhu Goswami) (B-1946) B. Com. M.A. (in Bengali) From Calcutta University is a known of short story writer in Bengali literature, finds his ease in researching on mythological and historic characters. He wrote many articles on various topics of Bengali and Indian Literature including on Raja Rammohan Roy, Rabindranath Tagore, Sri Aurobindo and specially on Lord Sri Chaitanyadev, Sri Gadadhar Pundit, Sri Nityanandaprabhu, Sri Adwaitaprabhu, Yaban Haridas and others, the followers of Sri Chaitanyadev for during the last more than four decades in different periodicals and self authored Books. In his book Mahasarathi Sri Goswami, analyzed the role and sentiments of Sri Krishna, in his Droupadi Ananya, he scanned the socio-literary value of Droupadi. His poignant reasoning explored newer dimensions in character analysis of the Mahabharta. He was honoured with Sahityasri and Bharat Bhushan titles in 1989 and 2002 respectively by ABBSS (Bhopal), Srila Vrindavandas and the best writer in Scriptures from Kolkata for restless researches on Sri Gouranga i.e., Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. The author is the fourth son of Sadhak Mukundalal Goswami. He probably was one of the 11th descendants of Ballav Chaitanya Goswami, one of the important associates of Lord Sri Chaitanyadev and His disciple of Pundit Sri Gadadhara. This author's mother Asha Rani was also only daughter among three sons of Gour Kishore Goswami who was one of the eleventh descendants of Sri Nityananada Prabhu. The author's the eldest maternal uncle Prankishore Goswami was a leading scholar, writer, eminent Srimad Bhagawata nattrator in India. So, the influence of Sri Nityanandaprabhu and of Sri Pundit Gadadhara in the blood of the author cannot be ignored. CONTENTS:- Aknowledgements . 11 Introduction . 13 1.

‎Radway, Janice A.‎

‎Reading the Romance: Women, Patriarchy, and Popular Literature‎

‎Originally published in 1984 and now re-issued with a new introduction by the author. "Reading the Romance" challenges popular (and often demeaning) myths about why romantic fiction, one of publishing's most lucrative categories, captivates millions of women readers. Among those who have disparaged romance reading are feminists, literary critics, and theorists of mass culture. They claim that romances enforce the woman reader's dependence on men and acceptance of the repressive ideology purveyed by popular culture. Radway questions such claims, arguing that critical attention "must shift from the text itself, taken in isolation, to the complex social event of reading." She examines that event, from the complicated business of publishing and distribution to the individual reader's engagement with the text. Radway's provocative approach combines reader-response criticism with anthropology and feminist psychology. Asking readers themselves to explore their reading motives, habits, and rewards, she conducted interviews in a midwestern town with forty-two romance readers whom she met through Dorothy Evans, a chain bookstore employee who has earned a reputation as an expert on romantic fiction. Evans defends her customers' choice of entertainment; reading romances, she tells Radway, is no more harmful than watching sports on television. "We read books so we won't cry" is the poignant explanation one woman offers for her reading habit. Indeed, Radway found that while the women she studied devote themselves to nurturing their families, these wives and mothers receive insufficient devotion or nurturance in return. In romances the women find not only escape from the demanding and often tiresome routines of their lives but also a hero who supplies the tenderness and admiring attention that they have learned not to expect. The heroines admired by Radway's group defy the expected stereotypes; they are strong, independent, and intelligent. That such characters often find themselves to be victims of male aggression and almost always resign themselves to accepting conventional roles in life has less to do, Radway argues, with the women readers' fantasies and choices than with their need to deal with a fear of masculine dominance. These romance readers resent not only the limited choices in their own lives but the patronizing atitude that men especially express toward their reading tastes. In fact, women read romances both to protest and to escape temporarily the narrowly defined role prescribed for them by a patriarchal culture. Paradoxically, the books that they read make conventional roles for women seem desirable. It is this complex relationship between culture, text, and woman reader that Radway urges feminists to address. Romance readers, she argues, should be encouraged to deliver their protests in the arena of actual social relations rather than to act them out in the solitude of the imagination. In a new introduction, Janice Radway places the book within the context of current scholarship and offers both an explanation and critique of the study's limitations. 276p. bibliography.index. Book‎

‎Rathbone, Hannah Mary.‎

‎LADY WILLOUGHBY: Or Passages from the Dairy of a Wife and Mother in the Seventeenth Century. From the Second London Edition.‎

‎pp. iv, 193, (10 unnumbered pages of publishers advertisements) 12mo. 200mm. Original publisher's full red cloth binding embossed and in blind with center cartouche of Barnes & Co. Spine ruled in blind and lettered plainly in gilt. Boards rubbed with light soiling. Spine darkened and brittle with wear to head and base. Corners frayed. End papers with publishers advertisements. First American edition. Contents clean. Hardbound. Very Good. Hannah Mary Rathbone (1798-1878) was an English writer and the author of The Diary of Lady Willoughby. Influenced by her father's tastes, she had read many histories and memoirs of the Civil war and adjacent periods, and her publisher (Thomas Longman) took great pride in bringing out the Diary as an exact reproduction of a book of the seventeenth century, in which it was supposed to be written. He had a new fount specially cast at the Chiswick Press. In some quarters the Diary was at once accepted as genuine; in others, author and publisher incurred indignant reproof as having conspired in an intentional deception. Readers speculated on the identity of the writer; and Robert Southey, Lord John Manners, and Mr. John Murray were in turn suggested. In the third edition the publishers and author inserted a joint note avowing the real character of the book. In 1847 Mrs. Rathbone issued a sequel under the title Some further Portions of the Diary of Lady Willoughby which do relate to her Domestic History and to the of the latter Years of the Reign of King Charles the First, the Protectorate, and the Revolution. The two parts were in 1848 re-published together. The general excellence of Mrs. Rathbone's workmanship, when she is at her best, becomes most clearly evident if Lady Willoughby's Diary is compared with Anne Manning's Life of Mary Powell (1850), which manifestly owed its origin to the success of the earlier work, but is altogether inferior to it.
