Poldark T2 : Au-delà de la tempête

by Winston Graham

Overview

1790. Sept ans après être rentré des États-Unis pour retrouver son Angleterre natale, Ross Poldark est parvenu à sauver le domaine familial en déshérence et à relancer l'activité minière. Mais des menaces planent en ce mois de septembre. Une famille de banquiers, les Warleggan, tente de prendre le contrôle de ses activités. Et Ross suspecte son cousin Francis d'être de leur côté pour assouvir sa vengeance. Pis, Ross est dans le même temps accusé d'avoir pillé deux navires qui se sont échoués au pied des falaises de Cornouailles, non loin de chez lui. S'il était reconnu coupable, il risquerait la mort... Demelza, la jeune sauvageonne qu'il avait recueillie puis épousée, se bat pour le défendre. Mais leur amour sera-t-il assez fort pour les porter au-delà de la tempête ?

Editorial Reviews

Litosseliti manages to tell the gender and language story in a steady, clear and accessible, but at the same time scholarly way, and never patronises her readers. In terms of accessibility and being up-to-date, this book now seems the best choice for anyone teaching 'Language and Gender' to upper undergraduates and postgraduates, as well as for independent study. With useful summaries and further reading at the end of each chapter, examples and activities in the form of questions within the chapters, useful cross-referencing throughout, and a rich bibliography, this is an undoubtedly valuable resource for teachers, students, and researchers.

Jane Sunderland, Lancaster University, UK

This book's numerous contemporary examples drawn from the media and conversations will be very appealing to student readers. The lucid and accessible chapters on media, education and workplaces reflect the latest research, as they highlight key sites for scholarship and activism. The chapter on principles for feminist linguistic research will be an invaluable aid for any instructor interested in helping students to critically read research, or to engage in research on their own.

Bonnie McElhinny, University of Toronto, Canada

Lia Litosseliti provides a valuable introduction to language and gender for those new to this rapidly developing field. The focus on both theory and practice (an exploration of language and gender in education, the media and the workplace) make this an engaging and accessible resource for students.

Joan Swann, Open University, UK

This book offers a stimulating appraisal of a range of language and gender theories. It places a particular emphasis upon current constructionist and discursive approaches, and gives an excellent survey of recent research studies. MA and 3rd year undergraduates will benefit enormously from this lucid guide to the field.
