Merricat increasingly assumes patriarchal power, taking on masculine tasks, adopting objects that previously belonged to male family members, and asserting authority in various situations. Even as items associated with the women constitute narratives of female history and thereby subvert the family’s patriarchal structure, objects in the text reveal the way patriarchy reproduces itself in the mundane and the personal. Constance, Julian, and Merricat Blackwood engage in repetitive, formalized handling of objects, and these ritualized interactions create family history. Throughout the novel, Jackson associates objects with either male or female legacies within the family. Shirley Jackson’s odd and unsettling novel, We Have Always Lived in the Castle, explores the relationship between family, gender roles, and property through the murdered and murderous Blackwood family. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Over 80 when he died in the early years ofĪrthur Hughes was an important if elusive Pre-Raphaelite artist (1832-1915) known for only a few works. As a good figure painter, especially of children, and a talented colourist, he was sensitive to the aims of the Brotherhood and a leading exponent of their technical practices. More to the point, it also shows him to have been among the foremost painters of the Pre-Raphaelite movement. It shows him to have been an immensely likeable and modest man, with a wide circle of friends and an extremely happy family life. ![]() This Catalogue Raisonn, the first book solely devoted to Hughes' life and works, aims to redress the balance and put him firmly on the map. In spite of his close artistic and social connections with, among others, Rossetti, Madox Brown, Holman Hunt, Burne-Jones, William Morris, Tennyson and Lewis Carroll, and although his work can be seen in major collections throughout the world, he has been considered an elusive figure in the history of British art. Until now Arthur Hughes has, with some justification, been called the unknown Pre-Raphaelite. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() With breathless pacing and relentless suspense, Reece ruthlessly targets his enemies in the upper echelons of power without regard for the laws of combat or the rule of law. Now, with no family and free from the military's command structure, Reece applies the lessons that he's learned in over a decade of constant warfare toward avenging the deaths of his family and teammates. But when those dearest to him are murdered on the day of his homecoming, Reece discovers that this was not an act of war by a foreign enemy but a conspiracy that runs to the highest levels of government.
