The Hartington sisters were three of the most captivating young ladies in the realm -- and suddenly among the most impoverished. The demise of their spendthrift father and the passing of their generous aunt left them with only their wits, wiles and beauty to fend off disaster -- and forced them to go their separate ways. Aggie, the eldest, became a governess. Thalia, the literary one, became a schoolmistress. Euphie, the musical one, became companion to an aristocratic old lady. And all of them saw the future of their hopes and the men of their dreams slipping out of their reach until they discovered that three Hartington heads were better than one when it came to playing a winning hand in the marriage game....

Julia Maitland had an idyllic childhood with her brother and younger sisters on her family's estate in rural Derbyshire. Upon reaching marriageable age, she looked forward to everything that her new status could bring: the excitements of her first "season" in society, a choice of handsome suitors, and-hopefully-a blissful future with a man she cherishes. But Julia's prospects take a disastrous turn with the sudden and unbearably tragic death of her soldier brother in the war against Napoleon and the loss of her father's investments. Within the span of a few weeks, she finds herself in London, then fashionable Bath, and ultimately chasing smugglers through the countryside in coastal Dorset. Yet through all the drama and turmoil she keeps alive her hopes for happiness and a love passionate, powerful, and true. The4rs is an appendox and bibliography about life in Regency England244p. Book

br. II dottor Faust è il protagonista di numerosi racconti della tradizione popolare e di alcune grandi opere come La tragica storia del dottor Faustus (ultima decade del Cinquecento) di Christopher Marlowe e il Faust di Goethe (1802, 1832). In questo volume Alfonso D'Agostino retrocede di alcuni secoli per rintracciare le radici del topos narrativo del "patto con il diavolo" nella storia della letteratura medievale latina e romanza.
br. Questo volume ripropone le pagine scritte da due specialisti sulla poesia epica medievale di area romanza e pubblicate originariamente nel manuale "La letteratura romanza medievale" (a cura di C. Di Girolamo, 1994). Dopo aver fatto il punto sulla questione delle "origini", gli autori passano in rassegna le tradizioni epiche fiorite nelle singole aree geografiche e linguistiche: dalle "chansons de geste" in lingua d'oïl ai testi di area provenzale, dalle opere nate nella penisola iberica (una su tutte, il "Cantar de mio Cid") alla circoscritta produzione italiana settentrionale.
