The narrative of mary prince6/7/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() For Prince the form of the slave narrative becomes, rather than constraining and disciplining, a platform for articulating embodied Black knowledge and epistemological expertise. In doing so, her narrative makes a claim to a racial characteristic of Black feeling as different from, and superior to, white feeling. Her History, written the same year that Nat Turner's Rebellion took place in the United States and just two years before a decree of emancipation across the British Caribbean and the entire British empire, speaks of Black skin as vulnerable and permeable, but also as emotionally and morally intelligent. ![]() This article argues that Prince unsettles dominant critical practices in nineteenth-century literary studies and Black studies in her unsentimental description of laboring and subjected Black skin. Abstract: Mary Prince's The History of Mary Prince, a West Indian Slave, Related by Herself, transcribed and edited by white abolitionists in England in 1831, was an early entry into the slave narrative genre, the first for an enslaved Black woman in the Americas. ![]()

This was swiftly followed by Antic Hay (1923), Those Barren Leaves (1925) and Point Counter Point (1928) – bright, brilliant satires in which Huxley wittily but ruthlessly passed judgement on the shortcomings of contemporary society. He began writing poetry and short stories in his early 20s, but it was his first novel, Crome Yellow (1921), which established his literary reputation. ![]() ![]() Still bristling with a sense of excitement and discovery, these illuminating and influential writings remain the most fascinating account of the visionary experience ever written.Īldous Huxley was born on 26 July 1894 near Godalming, Surrey. In its sequel Heaven and Hell, he goes on to explore the history and nature of mysticism. Huxley described his experience with breathtaking immediacy in The Doors of Perception. When he opened his eyes everything, from the flowers in a vase to the creases in his trousers, was transformed. In 1953, in the presence of an investigator, Aldous Huxley took four-tenths of a gram of mescalin, sat down and waited to see what would happen. ‘Concise, evocative, wise and, above all, humane, The Doors of Perception is a masterpiece’ Sunday Times The profoundly wise and humane account of Huxley's famous experimentation with mescalin that has influenced writers and artists for decades.ĭiscover this profound account of Huxley's famous experimentation with mescalin that has influenced writers and artists for decades. ![]() Ariadne a novel6/6/2023 ![]() But helping Theseus kill the monster means betraying her family and country, and Ariadne knows only too well that in a world ruled by mercurial gods - drawing their attention can cost you everything. ![]() When Theseus, Prince of Athens, arrives in Crete as a sacrifice to the beast, Ariadne falls in love with him.
