The Beth Book
by Sarah GrandFirst published in 1897, The Beth Book - Being a Study from the Life of Elizabeth Caldwell Maclure, a Woman of Genius, is a semi-autobiographical novel offering a portrait of the artist as a young woman. Grand's compelling story recounts in vivid detail the childhood of her young heroine, Beth, a spirited and intelligent girl who challenges the limitations of provincial life in Ireland and Yorkshire. Without the benefit of an education, Beth must make her own way through adolescence, contending with a violent mother and an alcoholic father. With little money to go round, Beth often goes without so that her brothers might be raised as gentlemen, thus giving her an early introduction to sexual inequality. Even in girlhood Beth challenges gender expectations, dressing as a boy and poaching rabbits for the family dinner table. Like Grand herself, Beth makes an early marriage to escape her unhappy childhood, becoming the wife of philandering doctor, Daniel Maclure. Disillusion soons turns to defiance, as Beth recreates herself as a woman of genius, with her rousing refrain of "I shall succeed " After escaping to a room of her own, Beth becomes a New Woman, setting a high standard both for herself and for other women. Grand's extraordinary recall of childhood emotions, avoiding Victorian sentimentality, makes The Beth Book a convincing and captivating chronicle of female adolescence. The coming of age and sexual awakening of Beth broadens into a consideration of wider social issues, such as marital violence, vivisection, and the sexual double standard. The Beth Book deserves to become a classic of the Victorian age. This new edition, the first for almost twenty years, includes: * A critical introduction by Jenny Bourne Taylor * Explanatory footnotes * Bibliography * Contemporary reviews * A selection of other writings by and about Sarah Grand

Beth Henley: A Casebook (Casebooks on Modern Dramatists #33)
by Julia A. FesmireBeth Henley was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in Drama and the New York Drama Critics Circle Award for Best American Play for her first full-length play, Crimes of the Heart, yet there has been no book-length consideration of her body of work until now. This volume includes original essays that contextualize and analyze her works from a variety of perspectives, focusing on her vexed status as a southern writer, her use of the comic grotesque, and her alleged feminist critiques of modern society.

The Bethel Tales
by Dennis ListortIn August 1969, hundreds of thousands of people assembled on the grounds of a farm in Upstate New York. After nearly half a century, this festival, billed as the Woodstock Music and Art Fair, still resonates as the quintessential music extravaganza of all time. Similar in theme and form to Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales, The Bethel Tales, chronicled by a 20-year-old named Danny Berger, it is a collection of 33 narratives told by a group of concert-goers as part of a story-telling contest to pass the time traveling from Manhattan by Greyhound bus to the Woodstock Festival near White Lake, NY. The tales told by the people on board, a diversified party of professional, blue-collar, secular, and religious individuals, are thought-provoking, humorous, inspirational, bawdy, and, at times, tragic. Their stories offer us not only a wide-ranging look at our culture of the time, but also of what people choose to remember and wish to pass on to others.

Bethlehem Road Murder: A Michael Ohayon Mystery (Michael Ohayon Series #5)
by Batya GurFrom acclaimed Israeli author Batya Gur, the fifth installment in the Michael Ohayan mystery series set in a politically charged Arab quarter south of West JerusalemThe body of a young woman with her face smashed in is discovered in the attic of a house on Bethlehem Street, in the Baka neighborhood of Jerusalem. Chief Superintendent Michael Ohayon is called to the scene of the crime where, beyond the usual horror, an old love and an unfinished romance await him. As in her previous novels, Batya Gur has spun a complex and fascinating murder investigation that serves as a means for entering a closed world with rules and a logic of its own. But here, the closed world is a Jerusalem neighborhood that enfolds the entire Israeli experience in miniature. Gur wonderfully draws the fissures in this complex world and makes it, like the murder investigation, worthy of further examination. The criminal investigation is set against the background of tensions between Ashkenazis and Mizrahis, hostility between Jews and Arabs, the affair of the kidnapped Yemenite children of the 1950s, and the al Aqsa Intifada in 2000.

Betibú
by Claudia PiñeiroUna novela atrapante, en la que la autora de Las viudas de los jueves vuelve a desplegar todo su talento narrativo para contar la in vestigación de un crimen y trazar un retrato del país. La novela en que se basó la película homónima. Cuando parece que la tranquilidad ha vuelto a reinar en el country La Maravillosa, Pedro Chazarreta aparece degollado, sentado en su sillón favorito, con una botella de whisky vacía a un costado y un cuchillo ensangrentado en la mano. Todo hace suponer que se trata de un suicidio. Pero pronto aparecen las dudas. ¿Acaso algún justiciero habrá querido vengar la muerte de la mujer del empresario, asesinada tres años antes en esa misma casa? ¿Será ésta la última muerte? El Tribuno, uno de los diarios más importantes del país, deja de lado por unos días su enfrentamiento con el gobierno para cubrir a fondo la noticia. Al escenario del crimen, envía a Nurit Iscar, una escritora retirada, y a un periodista joven e inexperto. Y aunque el antiguo jefe de la sección Policiales, Jaime Brena, ha sido desplazado por sacar los pies del plato, decide involucrarse en el caso y ayudar a su reemplazante y a Nurit, a quien admira en secreto. Lectora aguda de la realidad y de los comportamientos sociales, Piñeiro echa luz sobre las relaciones entre el periodismo y el poder y sobre los cambios que se han producido en los medios de comunicación, y nos enfrenta a un mundo de límites y controles en el que a pesar de todo siempre existe la posibilidad de tender puentes y apostar de nuevo.
