Despite being a generous and friendly host, the Laird's attention is focused on his wife instead of his guest, as his first child is soon to be born. As Lady Betram goes into labor giving birth to a healthy boy named Harry, a psychic arrives to form a prophecy, though the woman is undermined by another guest. During his visit, Mannering meets a socially inept tutor, Dominie Sampson, who insists on predicting the child's future based on a reading of the stars, in addition to the psychic's prediction. However, when Sampson discovers that his prediction is quite alarming, he seals it an envelope for Godfrey and Lady Betram to read when the child turns five. But when tragedy strikes right before Harry's fifth birthday it is apparent that the prophecy should have been heeded much earlier. While in the care of a customs officer, Harry is the accidental witness of a murder, leading to his abduction, and the dawn of the prophecy's unfolding.

Following in the footsteps of generations of philosophers, especially Aristotle and Hume, Burke sought to describe the inherent difference between beauty and sublimity as emotional responses rooted in human perception. His work was incredibly influential for the growth of Romanticism in Europe and Britain especially, which sought to capture the sublime in both visual art, music, and literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBurke begins with a section on the senses in relation to human individuality and society in order to illuminate the collective nature of passions-for which we may read emotions-and to argue that the power of the arts is to shape and effect those emotions. In the second part, Burke observes the passions caused by the sublime, including terror, as well as records the effects of certain sensory perceptions-of sound, light, color, and smell-on creating sublime feelings in the mind. Part three follows the same trajectory but describes the beautiful instead before ultimately comparing the two, and part four attempts to ascertain their causes in nature.

- 1967) was a poet, playwright, writer and key figure of the Harlem Renaissance who founded jazz poetry. Raised mostly by his grandmother, Hughes was instilled with a lasting sense of racial pride and a love of books from a young age and though not supported by his father in his pursuit of writing, Hughes would attend Columbia with his father's aid in 1921, before leaving the very next year due to racial prejudice and a desire to focus on his poetry. Hughes first introduced his voice to the world in a 1921 issue of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Crisis\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e where he published, \"The Negro Speaks of Rivers.\" The poem would come to be known as his signature piece and five years later was included in his debut poetry collection, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Weary Blues\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. Establishing himself as a key player of the Harlem Renaissance, Hughes would be one of a small group of Black intellectuals and artists of the movement who called themselves the Niggerati. Going on to write their manifesto, \"The Negro Artist and the Racial Mountain,\" Hughes' use of the literary medium differed heavily from the artistic aspirations of the Black middle class in that he desired to focus on highlighting the lives of working-class Black people and addressing divisions and prejudices that existed within the Black community itself. In a career spanning over four decades, Hughes would publish an award-winning novel (\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eNot Without Laughter\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e), multiple plays--some in collaboration with Zora Neale Hurston--(\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eMule Bone\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eBlack Nativity\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e), children's literature (\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003ePopo and Fifina\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e) and even an autobiography (\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Big Sea\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e); among others in a large volume of work. In his personal life, Hughes maintained lifetime friendships with members of the movement and also is believed to have had private romantic and sexual relationships with men. While Hughes' emphasis on racial pride had begun to fall out of favor with new and coming movements of the younger generation, his contributions to the African-American literary canon and American literature at all could not be denied and as such at the time of his death was--and continues to be--one of the most talented and respected voices of a generation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IPS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45753052856506,"sku":"9781513203607","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0444\/2213\/5968\/files\/imageloader_324eb1ee-ef1f-4fa3-a3cc-29764562027d.jpg?v=1775319032"},{"product_id":"the-song-of-hiawatha","title":"The Song of Hiawatha (Mint Editions) by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Song of Hiawatha\u003c\/i\u003e (1855) is an epic poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.

Born in Portland, Maine, Longfellow excelled in reading and writing from a young age, becoming fluent in Latin as an adolescent and publishing his first poem at the age of thirteen. In 1822, Longfellow enrolled at Bowdoin College, where he formed a lifelong friendship with Nathaniel Hawthorne and published poems and stories in local magazines and newspapers. Graduating in 1825, Longfellow was offered a position at Bowdoin as a professor of modern languages before embarking on a journey throughout Europe. He returned home in 1829 to begin teaching and working as the college's librarian. During this time, he began working as a translator of French, Italian, and Spanish textbooks, eventually publishing a translation of Jorge Manrique, a major Castilian poet of the fifteenth century. In 1836, after a period abroad and the death of his wife Mary, Longfellow accepted a professorship at Harvard, where he taught modern languages while writing the poems that would become \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eVoices of the Night\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e (1839), his debut collection.

In 1843, following a prolonged courtship, Longfellow married Fanny Appleton, with whom he would have six children. That decade proved fortuitous for Longfellow's life and career, which blossomed with the publication of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eEvangeline: A Tale of Acadie\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e (1847), an epic poem that earned him a reputation as one of America's leading writers and allowed him to develop the style that would flourish in \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Song of Hiawatha\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e (1855). But tragedy would find him once more. In 1861, an accident led to the death of Fanny and plunged Longfellow into a terrible depression.

He traces Brown's sympathy for slaves to an incident in his youth when he was warmly received by a family that treated their slave with casual brutality.

The author examines Brown's impact on the minds of those who understood that the abolitionist cause was supported primarily by Blacks, on the lives of Blacks who discovered a white man willing to fight and die for their freedom, and by the masses who found that slavery was not only an actionable moral issue, but one of deadly urgency.

In this famous speech, published widely in pamphlet form after it was given to a meeting of the Rochester Ladies' Anti-Slavery Society on July 5th, 1852, Douglass exposes the hypocrisy of America's claim to Christian and democratic ideals in spite of its legacy of enslavement. Personal and political, Douglass' speech helped inspire the burgeoning abolitionist movement, which fought tirelessly for emancipation in the decades leading up to the American Civil War. \"What have I, or those I represent, to do with your national independence? Are the great principles of political freedom and of natural justice, embodied in that Declaration of Independence, extended to us?...What, to the American slave, is your 4th of July?

He made his way through Delaware, Philadelphia, and New York City--where he married Murray--before settling in New Bedford, Massachusetts. In New England, he connected with the influential abolitionist community and joined the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, a historically black denomination which counted Sojourner Truth and Harriet Tubman among its members.

In \"The Lynching,\" he calls on the reader to witness the brutality of American racism while exposing the complicity of those who would look without feeling: \"[S]oon the mixed crowds came to view \/ The ghastly body swaying in the sun: \/ The women thronged to look, but never a one \/ Showed sorrow in her eyes of steely blue...\" As children dance around the victim's body, \"lynchers that were to be,\" McKay raises a terrible, timeless question: how long will such violence endure?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince our inception in 2020, \u003cstrong\u003eMint Editions\u003c\/strong\u003e has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.

Upon his arrival in the South, he was shocked by the racism and segregation experienced by Black Americans, which--combined with his reading of W. E. B.

He moved to New York in 1914 without completing his degree, turning his efforts to publishing poems in \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Seven Arts\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and later \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Liberator\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, where he would serve as co-executive editor from 1919 to 1922.

Born in Sandymount, Yeats was raised between Sligo, England, and Dublin by John Butler Yeats, a prominent painter, and Susan Mary Pollexfen, the daughter of a wealthy merchant family. He began writing poetry around the age of seventeen, influenced by the Romantics and the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, but soon turned to Irish folklore and the mystical writings of William Blake for inspiration. As a young man he joined and founded several occult societies, including the Dublin Hermetic Order and the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, participating in séances and rituals as well as acting as a recruiter. While these interests continued throughout Yeats' life, the poet dedicated much of his middle years to the struggle for Irish independence. In 1904, alongside John Millington Synge, Florence Farr, the Fay brothers, and Annie Horniman, Yeats founded the Abbey Theatre in Dublin, which opened with his play \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eCathleen ni Houlihan\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and Lady Gregory's \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eSpreading the News\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and remains Ireland's premier venue for the dramatic arts to this day.

Following the establishment of the Irish Free State in 1922, however, Yeats was appointed to the role of Senator and served two terms in the position.

Born in St. Paul, Minnesota to Edward and Mary Fitzgerald, he was raised in Buffalo in a middle-class Catholic family. Fitzgerald excelled in school from a young age and was known as an active and curious student, primarily of literature. In 1908 the family returned to St. Paul, where Fitzgerald published his first work of fiction, a detective story, at the age of 13. He completed his high school education at the Newman School in New Jersey before enrolling at Princeton University. In 1917, reeling from an ill-fated relationship and waning in his academic pursuits, Fitzgerald dropped out of Princeton to join the Army. While stationed in Alabama, he began a relationship with Zelda Sayre, a Montgomery socialite. In 1919, he moved to New York City, where he struggled to launch his career as a writer. His first novel, \u003ci\u003eThis Side of Paradise\u003c\/i\u003e (1920), was a resounding success, earning Fitzgerald a sustainable income and allowing him to marry Zelda. Following the birth of his daughter Scottie in 1921, Fitzgerald published his second novel, \u003ci\u003eThe Beautiful and the Damned\u003c\/i\u003e (1922), and \u003ci\u003eTales of the Jazz Age\u003c\/i\u003e (1922), a collection of short stories. His rising reputation in New York's social and literary scenes coincided with a growing struggle with alcoholism and the deterioration of Zelda's mental health. Despite this, Fitzgerald managed to complete his masterpiece \u003ci\u003eThe Great Gatsby\u003c\/i\u003e (1925), a withering portrait of corruption and decay at the heart of American society. After living for several years in France in Italy, the end of the decade marked the decline of Fitzgerald's reputation as a writer, forcing him to move to Hollywood in pursuit of work as a screenwriter. His alcoholism accelerated in these last years, leading to severe heart problems and eventually his death at the age of 44. By this time, he was virtually forgotten by the public, but critical reappraisal and his influence on such writers as Ernest Hemingway, J.D. Salinger, and Richard Yates would ensure his status as one of the greatest figures in twentieth-century American fiction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IPS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45804557762746,"sku":"9781513281803","price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0444\/2213\/5968\/files\/imageloader_4e712c34-f1af-49a7-a18c-132cdb064d8a.jpg?v=1777132048"},{"product_id":"a-girl-of-the-limberlost","title":"A Girl of the Limberlost (Mint Editions, The Children's Library) by Gene Stratton-Porter","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Girl of the Limberlost\u003c\/i\u003e (1909) is a novel by Gene Stratton-Porter.

Now a teenager, Elnora struggles to connect with other high schoolers, most of whom are unaccustomed to the rhythms of the natural world. Mired in poverty, she refuses to give up, soon excelling in her classes and becoming an accomplished violinist. Nevertheless, she still feels she must prove herself to her mother, who remains stuck in the past.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince our inception in 2020, Mint Editions has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.

Born in Indiana, she was raised in a family of eleven children. In 1874, she moved with her parents to Wabash, Indiana, where her mother would die in 1875. When she wasn't studying literature, music, and art at school and with tutors, Stratton-Porter developed her interest in nature by spending much of her time outdoors. In 1885, after a year-long courtship, she became engaged to druggist Charles Dorwin Porter, with whom she would have a daughter. She soon grew tired of traditional family life, however, and dedicated herself to writing by 1895. At their cabin in Indiana, she conducted lengthy studies of the natural world, focusing on birds and ecology.

As the twentieth century progressed, the swamp was drained and cultivated as farmland, making Stratton-Porter's depictions a vital resource for remembering and celebrating the region. Over the past several decades, however, thousands of acres of the wetland have been restored, marking the return of countless species to the Limberlost, which for Stratton-Porter was always \"a word with which to conjure; a spot wherein to revel.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IPS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45804557893818,"sku":"9781513283050","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0444\/2213\/5968\/files\/imageloader_5248a2ad-9fb4-4e0c-8f6a-ae81cf090454.jpg?v=1777132052"},{"product_id":"ten-days-in-a-mad-house","title":"Ten Days in a Mad House (Mint Editions) by Nellie Bly","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eTen Days in a Mad-House\u003c\/i\u003e (1887) is a book by American investigative journalist Nellie Bly.

Upon graduating in 1903, Milne worked as a contributor and assistant editor for \u003ci\u003ePunch\u003c\/i\u003e, Britain's leading humor magazine, while playing amateur cricket. He served in the British Army in the Great War as an officer and was injured at the Battle of the Somme in July of 1916, which led to his work as a propaganda writer for Military Intelligence before his discharge in 1919. Having married in 1913, Milne and his wife Dorothy de Sélincourt welcomed their son Christopher Robin Milne into the world in 1920. Around this time, Milne worked as a screenwriter for the British film industry while continuing to publish in Punch, where his poem \"Teddy Bear\" appeared in 1924.

Reactions from the press, political establishment, and much of the reading public were overwhelmingly negative, accusing Stanton of blasphemy and sacrilege while refusing to engage with the book's message: to reconsider the historical reception of the Bible in order to make room for women to be afforded equality in their private and public lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorking with a Revising Committee of 26 members of the National American Woman Suffrage Association, Stanton sought to provide an updated commentary on the Bible that would highlight passages allowing for an interpretation of scripture harmonious with the cause of the women's rights movement. Inspired by activist and Quaker Lucretia Mott's use of Bible verses to dispel the arguments of bigots opposed to women's rights and abolition, Stanton hoped to establish a new way of framing the history and religious representation of women that could resist similar arguments that held up the Bible as precedent for the continued oppression of women. Starting with an interpretation of the Genesis story of Adam and Eve, Stanton attempts to show where men and women are treated as equals in the Bible, eventually working through both the Old and New Testaments. In its day, \u003ci\u003eThe Woman's Bible\u003c\/i\u003e was a radically important revisioning of women's place in scripture that Stanton and her collaborators hoped would open the door for women to obtain the rights they had long been systematically denied.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis edition of Elizabeth Cady Stanton's \u003ci\u003eThe Woman's Bible\u003c\/i\u003e is a classic of American literature reimagined for modern readers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince our inception in 2020, \u003cb\u003eMint Editions\u003c\/b\u003e has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.
