Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. A hundred years ago, Watch Hill was known as the "Queen of Atlantic Resorts." Its once barren knoll was strewn with vast wooden hotels and open-air porticos and porches. Its snug cove, a port of entry for steamboats that ferried summer residents, was also the home port for a fleet of catboats that took passengers on daily excursions. Offering unparalleled bathing at the surf-ridden East Beach and the soft sands of Napatree Beach, Watch Hill was truly "by the sea." Yet, as with many maritime venues, Watch Hill and its sister communities up the Pawcatuck River always served as year-round homes to watermen of all sorts. Whaling captains once lived in Lotteryville, partyboat captains sailed down the Pawcatuck to meet passengers at the Watch Hill docks, and fishermen provided fresh fare from the river and sea. Ships were built and lives were lost, and a century of maritime industries have come and gone. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Octavo, softbound (stiff, sepia tone photo. illus. wrappers), 128 pp. Fine. From lower cover: Just one hundred years ago, Watch Hill was known as the "Queen of Atlantic Resorts." Its once barren knoll was strewn with vast wooden hotels and spacious open-air porticos and porches. Its snug cove, a port of entry for steamboats that ferried summer residents, was also the homeport for a fleet of catboats that took passengers on daily excursions. This destination resort offered summer tourists unparalleled bathing at both the surf-ridden East Beach and the soft sands of Napatree Beach. Watch Hill was truly "by the sea." Yet, as with many maritime venues, Watch Hill and its sister communities of the Pawcatuck River have always served as year-round homes to watermen of all sorts. Whaling captains once lived in Lotteryville and life saving station volunteers once lived in the Village. Partyboat captains sailed down the Pawcatuck in the early morning to meet passengers at the Watch Hill docks, and fishermen provided the rambling hotels with fresh fare from the river and the sea. Ships were built and lives were lost and a century of maritime industries have since come and gone. Rhode Island, Watch Hill, New England, Americana, U.S.-iana. bslic.

Paperback. Condición: New. Time, Tide and History: Eleanor Dark's Fiction is the first book-length edited collection of scholarly essays to treat the full span of Eleanor Dark's fiction, advancing a recent revival of critical and scholarly interest in Dark's writing.This volume not only establishes a new view of Dark's fiction as a whole, but also reflects on the ways in which her fiction speaks to our present moment, in the context of a globally fraught, post-pandemic, Anthropocene era. Above all, the revisiting of Dark's fiction is mandated by a desire to recognise the ways in which it anticipates vital debates in Australian literary and national culture today, about settler colonialism and its legacies, and with regard to the histories, condition and status of Australia's First Nations people.This volume interweaves varied topical themes, from formal debates about modernism, historical realism and melodrama, to questions about modernity's time and space, about gender and cultural difference, and about the specifics of built and natural environments. Time, Tide and History intentionally loosens the conventions of literary scholarship by including other kinds of work alongside critical and scholarly readings: a written dialogue between two contemporary historians about Dark's legacy, and a biographical piece on the life and role of Eleanor Dark's husband, Eric Payten Dark.Bringing together the interwar fiction's feminist and modernist dimensions with the historical turn of The Timeless Land trilogy, the essays in Time, Tide and History collectively pursue ethical and political questions while teasing out the distinctive thematic, formal and aesthetic features of Dark's fiction.
