Learn the history of heritage crochet techniques, and how to use
them to enrich any crochet project. Clear instructions from master
teacher Rita de Maintenon, plus 160 photos and online videos, take
intermediate-level crochet skills to the next level, allowing you
to learn to crochet broomstick lace, hairpin lace, Tunisian lace,
Aran cables, and thread lace such as filet crochet, Irish crochet,
bullions, and picots. After mastering the basics of these often
undervalued traditional skills, learn how to move between them,
combine them, and--most importantly--move from pattern dependency
to "pattern independence." Readers are guided in how to create
their own designer projects without the need of commercial
patterns. Original-design examples are featured throughout. This
book belongs in every fiber lover's library as a constant resource
of information and inspiration.
Born Francoise d'Aubigne, a criminal's daughter reduced to street
begging as a child, Madame de Maintenon (1653-1719) made an
improbable rise from impoverished beginnings to the summit of power
as the second, secret wife of Louis XIV. An educational reformer,
Maintenon founded and directed the celebrated academy for
aristocratic women at Saint-Cyr. This volume presents the dialogues
and addresses in which Maintenon explains her controversial
philosophy of education for women.
Denounced by her contemporaries as a political schemer and
religious fanatic, Maintenon has long been criticized as an
opponent of gender equality. The writings in this volume faithfully
reflect Maintenon's respect for social hierarchy and her stoic call
for women to accept the duties of their state in life. But the
writings also echo Maintenon's more feminist concerns: the need to
redefine the virtues in the light of women's experience, the
importance of naming the constraints on women's freedom, and the
urgent need to remedy the scandalous neglect of the education of
women.
In her writings as well as in her own model school at Saint-Cyr,
Maintenon embodies the demand for educational reform as the key to
the empowerment of women at the dawn of modernity.
The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly
growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by
advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve
the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own:
digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works
in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these
high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts
are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries,
undergraduate students, and independent scholars.The Age of
Enlightenment profoundly enriched religious and philosophical
understanding and continues to influence present-day thinking.
Works collected here include masterpieces by David Hume, Immanuel
Kant, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as well as religious sermons and
moral debates on the issues of the day, such as the slave trade.
The Age of Reason saw conflict between Protestantism and
Catholicism transformed into one between faith and logic -- a
