Recently, Sue Vincent encountered a new and difficult challenge: lung cancer. I post this incredibly beautiful poem, with its rich and meaningful presentation, in support of her. Thank you for being a sharing and prolific blogger, Sue. Thank you for being you! Sincerely – Resa ❤ (Please visit Sue to comment!)
Everyone always looks forward to Beth’s story time. A vote was taken and it was decided that she would read later today, rather than wait until tomorrow. A line is already forming outside the library and those who live at The Coop, and their guests, are extremely excited to hear the new stories.
Raven made the sign and she’s ushering everyone inside. She’s a very good librarian and committee leader. She loves books and makes sure they are well cared for. Story time is one of her favorite things.
It’s going to be a wonderful Valentine’s Day weekend.
A short and very informative post by dear Holly! Go girls!
George Eliot
Mary Ann Evans wanted to escape the stereotype of women’s writing being limited to lighthearted romances. She also wanted to have her fiction judged separately from her widely known work as a translator, editor and critic. Her use of a pen name may also have been a desire to shield her private life from public scrutiny, avoiding the scandal that might have arisen from of her relationship with the marriedGeorge Henry Lewes.
Lewes met writer Mary Ann Evans in 1851 and by 1854 they had decided to live together. Lewes and his wife Agnes Jervis had agreed to have anopen marriage. Jervis had three children with Lewes and four with an unnamed lover . Lewes, having assumed the role of father to all the children, was unable to divorce Jervis but he and Eliot remained together until death.
Eliot was not what society considered beautiful however Henry James…
