Belle Moral: A Natural History
by Ann-Marie MacdonaldAnn-Marie MacDonald's love of the fabulous is in full force with this multi-layered reworking of her earlier play, The Arab's Mouth.Following her father's death, amateur scientist Pearl MacIsaac struggles to discover the secret of her family's past, which her father had been kept hidden with the help of the family doctor. Set in Scotland in 1899, this dark and redemptive gothic comedy is a story of family secrets that have come to life and of the birth and evolution of ideas - and truly a play of morals. Reaching out in two directions to reconcile the extremes of rationalism and romanticism, Belle Moral embraces a complex range of turn-of-the-century thought including Charles Darwin's theory of evolution, contemporary medical beliefs and the concept of eugenics.* * * * * * * * * *Copyright © 2005 A.

Belle Turnbull: On the Life and Work of an American Master (The Unsung Masters Series)
by David Rothman Jeffrey VillinesBelle Turnbull (1881-1970) gained regional and even national popularity during her lifetime, but sank into obscurity after her death. This volume contains a selection of her poetry and prose as well as a series of essays that provide commentary on her work and times. Much of Turnbull's work is inspired by the rough-hewn lives of prospectors in the early 20th century. This book contains several excerpts from Turnbull's narrative poem "Goldboat," which tells the story of John Dorn, who arrives in Colorado to head a crew of dredgers. In contrast to the hardscrabble lives of the miners, Turnbull brings out the beauty of the landscape with its trees, birds, and wildflowers. She offers us a profoundly original vision of the American west that transcends the region.
