As new condition off-white boards/blue spine/gold spine lettering contained in an as new condition color illustrated dust jacket. Includes Introduction: Evidence to the Contrary by Marilyn Meberg. "Our faith begins and ends with the love of God. In the fac…e of life's struggles, how deeply we need to trust in a love greater than ourselves - a love we can count on to hold us, to never let us go, and to instill in us a worth that our best efforts can never earn and our worst failings can't diminish. That's the love God has for you. It's a love that delights in you, cherishes the simple things that give you joy, meets you in the sorrows no one else can touch, and whispers you name in unguarded, unexpected moments. No one else knows you like your heavenly Father, and no one else loves you as wisely, powerfully, and completely. With sensitivity and insight, Women of Faith authors share devotional reflections on the character of God's heart. Distilled from the Bible's timeless truths and the experiences of everyday life, these meditations are like precious notes from your Father revealing the nature of his love for you. It's a love that is Boundless- overflowing toward you with no danger of ever running out; Fearless - unafraid of the worst in you, confident of the best in you; Stubborn - refusing to ever give up on you; Lavish - holding back nothing of its best treasures from you; Outlandish - proving its character in wild, impossible ways; Intentional - devoting its every act to your highest good. In the words of Sheila Walsh, "Our prayer as we sat down to write this book to you was that you would know you are loved - boundlessly, fearlessly, stubbornly, lavishly, outlandishly, intentionally - by the God of the universe, the One who created you and calls you by name." - excerpt from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

(the date of the earliest surviving document in any Romance language) to the 1980s is the most compact & imaginative single-volume guide available in English to the French literary tradition. In fact, no comparable work exists in either language. This is not the customary inventory of authors & titles but rather a collection of wide-angled views of historical & cultural phenomena. It sets before us writers, public figures, criminals, saints, & monarchs, as well as religious, cultural, & social revolutions. It gives us books, paintings, public monuments, even television shows. Written by 164 American & European specialists, the essays are introduced by date & arranged in chronological order, but here ends the book's resemblance to the usual history of literature. Each date is followed by a headline evoking an event that indicates the chronological point of departure. Usually the event is literary (the publication of an original work, a journal, a translation, the first performance of a play, the death of an author), but some events are literary only in terms of their repercussions or resonances. Essays devoted to a genre exist alongside essays devoted to one book, institutions are presented side by side with literary movements, & large surveys appear next to detailed discussions of specific landmarks. No article is limited to the "life & works" of a single author. Proust, for example, appears through various lenses, fleetingly, in 1704, apropos of Antoine Galland's translation of "The Thousand & One Nights"; in 1898, in conjunction w/ the Dreyfus affair; in 1905, on the occasion of the law on the separation of church & state; in 1911, in relation to Gide & their different treatments of homosexuality; & at his death in 1922. Without attempting to cover every author, work, & cultural development since the Serments de Strasbourg in 842, this history succeeds in being both informative & critical about the more than 1,000 years it describes. The contributors offer us a chance to appreciate not only French culture but also the major critical positions in literary studies today. Authoritative, lively, & highly readable, "A New History of French Literature" is essential reading for all engaged in the study of French culture & for all who are interested in it. * HIGHEST PRAISE: "This grandly imagined & executed history of French literature is without precedent in any language. Here are many of the best contemporary critics & theorists, writing w/ vivid originality, always in a personal accent. This volume is a triumph of editorial & critical intelligence." -Richard Poirier, Editor, Raritan Quarterly * By far the best single-volume guide in English to the French literary tradition." -Malcolm Bowie, University of London * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a below-cost additional fee & via USPS FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL AIRMAIL to international destinations at our posted rates.
