Rebecca Bradford's Beloved
In her heart, Rebecca Bradford is no longer the orphaned white daughter of a wealthy Maryland planter; she is Star Blanket, a bold young woman with no need for fancy clothes or manners, and no understanding of the 'honor' that prohibits Adam Rourke from acting upon the desire raging in his dark eyes.

Once a bondservant, Adam Rourke promised Rebecca's grandfather he would keep her safe until she assumed her role, and the fortune that was promised him.

But Rebecca wishes to return to her adopted Shawnee, unable to become the person she no longer is.

Granting Rebecca her freedom, guarantees Adam his fortune. But letting her go will cost him his heart.

    Killed Strangely: The Death Of Rebecca Cornell Summary

    Usually during the seventeenth-century, siblings were very competitive towards each other to later in life acquire their parent’s fortunes and estates. However Rebecca did allow Thomas to move into her house with his family, but she kept the most expensive and valuable thing in the house to herself. “Her possession of the great bed suggests that she keenly aware of her place in this household, although what she claimed by right would have been perceived as self-indulgence by her son and daughter-in-law. Such rivalry only fueled the antagonism between mother and son, as furniture became a symbolic weapon in the contest for control over people and space (Cream 14-15). Clearly Rebecca knew that she was at the head of this household, unlike what usually was known at this time, for the man of the house to be at the head. Thomas probably didn’t feel a sense of manhood living in this house. People around town also knew this and he didn’t like the fact that his mother was the one that had all the power over the family, which in return gave him motivate to kill his…

    Rebecca's Revival Summary

    From a life of slavery to a life of mission, Rebecca’s Revival follows a Caribbean woman of the island of St. Thomas during the eighteenth century. From conversion to evangelism, slavery to freedom, and marriage to missionary, Rebecca’s extraordinary journey is described by Jon Sensbach with a thoughtful, encompassing and thorough approach.

Structurally, Sensbach leaves the reader with little in the way of speculation as he organizes his bibliographical entry by both source and place. He also factually presents the surprising, and heretical, views of the Moravian religion and their…

    In What Ways Does Rebecca Demonstrate and Subvert the Conventions of the Romantic Genre?”

    On the surface Rebecca appears to demonstrate the conventions of the romantic genre. The storyline includes a heroine, who is thinks herself to be very plain “with straight, bobbed hair and youthful, unpowdered face, dressed in an ill-fitting coat and skirt…”, as well as a hero, who the heroine believes is “arresting, sensitive and medieval in some strange inexplicable way” as well as dark and mysterious. One convention of the romantic genre used in Rebecca is the exotic location at which they meet, Monte Carlo, and where Maxim asks her to “come home to Manderly” with him. Like in many other romance novels there is someone who tries to break up the ‘happy couple’ as well as the ‘other woman’ however in Rebecca these are two different people. Mrs Van Hopper thinks the narrator is “making a big mistake” by marrying Maxim but does not try and stop the wedding as she thinks it will not work out anyway. In a very romantic genre-like style Maxim ‘saves’ the narrator from Mrs Van Hopper. The narrator doesn’t listen to what Mrs Van Hopper says because she has found a “new confidence” and starts to fantasize about herself and Maxim “planning the future”, sitting “together in the dining room” and being able to “talk … about being happy”. Another convention of the romance genre is the ‘other woman’ who in Rebecca is the late Mrs de Winter. The narrator believes that Rebecca represents the love of Maxim’s life. When she finds the note that Rebecca had written in a book for Maxim, she decides to burn it and when she does, the narrator feels “the…

    Harper's Father: A Short Story

    Harper’s father had hoped for a son but that didn’t stop him from growing attached to his little girl from the moment he first held her in his arms. As a child, he’d encouraged her curiosities and taught her the things she seemed so eager to learn, assuming that when she grew older she would eventually become more interested in the lifestyles of other girls her age. The day never came that she was excited for the intricate new dresses gifted to her or the extravagant balls on the arm of a young officer; instead she would prefer to sneak off to the nearby blacksmith’s shop or to the docks to watch the ships. Often she would return home with her dresses filthy and her mother would scold her for not presenting herself in a more ladylike manner.…

    Thomas Hardy's, On the Western Circuit: A Twist of Irony

    Charles Bradford Raye, to begin with, falls in love with a simple country girl and does not expect her at first to be intellectually developed. Thus he is very surprised when reading her first letter: “It was the most charming little missive he had ever received” (Hardy 1923). As the story evolves Raye is convinced that Anna is a decent woman worthy to support him in making a social career. When he heard of Anna’s pregnancy at first he thinks he might have to alter his career prospections but then he makes up his mind, because of “ the unexpected mines of brightness and warmth that her letters had disclosed to be lurking in her sweet nature had led him to abandon that somewhat sad prospect” (Hardy 1927). Thus, Raye can be seen as morally good, exceeding social superficiality by acknowledging the intellectual capabilities of a mere country girl.…
