Finding Camlann: A Novel

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Pidgeon, Sean, PUBLISHER: W. W. Norton & Company, Despite the wealth of scholarship that pretends to offer proof, archaeologist Donald Gladstone knows there is no solid evidence that a real King Arthur ever existed. Still, the great popular tales spun by medieval historian Geoffrey of Monmouth, and embroidered by Chr tien de Troyes, Sir Thomas Malory, and so many others, must have found their inspiration somewhere. A dramatic archaeological find at Stonehenge and the rediscovery of an old Welsh battle poem, buried among the manuscripts of the Bodleian Library, open up enticing--and misleading--ong>newong> possibilities. When the beguiling ong>Juliaong> Llewellyn, a linguist working on the Oxford English Dictionary, joins Donald on the trail of clues, their fervent enthusiasms, unusual gifts, and unfulfilled yearnings prove a combustible mix. Their impassioned search for truths buried deep in the past, amid the secret ong>placeong>s and half-forgotten legends of the British countryside, must ultimately transform them--and all our understandings of the origins of Arthur. An intellectual and emotional journey of myriad pleasures, Finding Camlann is at its heart a love story--not only of romantic love but also the love between parents and grown children; the intense feelings of professors and students; the love of language, ong>placeong>, and home; and the thrill of scholarly research and detective work. Throughout, Sean Pidgeon's lyrical prose brings together history, myth, and dream, sweeping the reader into the mysteries of the past and the pure delight of storytelling.

In Search of the Split Subject: Psychoanalysis,

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Mycak, Sonia, PUBLISHER: ECW Press, Examining a striking and recurrent aspect of her work--the divided self--this study focuses on the work of Margaret Atwood, offering detailed readings of six of her novels. Through a critical method that borrows freely from both psychoanalytic and phenomenological theorists, chapters on each novel ong>placeong> distinct emphasis on the concepts of each theory, covering such complex topics as secularization, oedipal relations and connections with the maternal, aggressive relativity, the Imaginary, the symbolic, mimesis, space and the dynamics of location, signification, and enunciative positioning. The result is an examination of the ways in which the identity of each protagonist is dislocated, alienated, splintered, and split according to the divisions that mark the subject, and ong>newong> interpretations of each novel that take into account its characterization, narrative development, thematic content, and setting. An appendix serves to show how Atwood's remaining two novels could be best accounted for by other approaches, making the book a complete account of Atwood's novels to date.

Cake or Death: The Excruciating Choices of Everyday Life

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Mallick, Heather, PUBLISHER: Vintage Books Canada, A brilliant ong>newong> book from one of Canada's most popular columnists - a no-holds-barred riposte to the mess we've made of things. "Mrs. Tittlemouse is heaven in a sponge mop. I read Beatrix Potter's books as a child and love her paintings, her stories, her home-boiling of squirrels so her watercolours could be anatomically exact. But most of all, Beatrix Potter made domesticity desirable. All right, she didn't, but she domesticated me. Personal order has become my badge and it's the only thing that really works with melancholy." Heather Mallick is sorely disappointed. The world has not turned out quite the way she had hoped it would. But rather than retreat from it, she takes the world head on, fearlessly and formidably on her own terms. In a ong>newong> work of entirely original ong>writingong>, we have Heather unplugged (some might even say unhinged), and uncensored from the restrictions of her "Globe and Mail "column ong>writingong>. As her many fans have come to expect from her, she is incisive and outrageous, whether she's cataloguing the many situations and items in our daily lives that we are told we should fear, teaching us how to cope with people we just can't stand (ruthless mockery is the key, really, says Heather) or ong>writingong> about the valuable life lesson to be learned from one of her childhood heroes: Mrs. Tittlemouse, the original domestic goddess. A candid reflection on the complicated state of our lives and our world today, viewed through the lens of Heather's inimitable wit and outlook on life, Cake or Death: The Excruciating Choices of Everyday Life will provoke and delight readers.
