Philanthropy and Early Twentieth-Century British Literature
explores the relationship between British literature and
philanthropy at the end of the nineteenth and early twentieth
centuries, examining the works of E. M. Forster, Rebecca West, W.
B. Yeats, Roger Fry, Wyndham Lewis, Virginia Woolf, and Vita
Sackville-West. This book considers how writers in the modernist
period drew on the liberal welfare reforms, the adoption of
scientific methods in charity, the Cambridge tradition of public
service, the Irish nationalist movement, and the influence of the
Victorian woman philanthropist in order to advocate for an
individualist art, revolutionize their aesthetics, redefine ideals
of hospitality and beneficence, and affirm the national, social,
and economic liberation of the modern subject. Contrary to popular
interpretations presenting modernism as a break with Victorian
values, Dr. Radeva-Costello argues philanthropic engagements are at
the heart of early twentieth-century literature. The writers
discussed in this book had a sophisticated knowledge of the
philanthropy debates and of their power to transform
twentieth-century notions about how to govern, how to conceive of
national, class, and gender boundaries, and how to market the work
of the professional artist in the real world. In keeping with the
strong archival and historicizing approach of the "New Modernist
Studies" of recent years, this book also analyses the rich
contextual detail of early modernist magazines, contemporary and
archival periodicals, and government publications.

The term "illegal aliens" has been used in our country to describe
the people who live here without legal documentation and permission
to do so. While adults understand what is meant by the term,
children are often confused by it. In this story, readers will
follow along with a little boy as he discovers that there is more
than one type of alien in this world and the issues associated with
immigration are many. This is not a political book nor is it
intended to make a statement on one side of the immigration debate
or the other. It is simply a story to help children understand what
is meant by the term "illegal aliens" and about the people affected
by immigration. This book is wonderfully illustrated by the very
talented, Milena Radeva, illustrator of the "Writing is a Process"
series of books by author Terri Kelley.

Nowadays, more than ever, people feel free to express their
individuality by changing the color and style of their hair, by
piercings and gauges, by tattooing their bodies, and so many other
things. Even the music we listen to is very diverse. In this story,
a little boy, who has a crush on a girl who has many of these
self-expressions, finds the courage to ask her about each of them.
The results are heart-warming. This is a great book to read with
your child to open the conversation about personal choice.
Children, like adults, sometimes questions the strength of their
Faith. The young boy in this story wonders if he prays like
everyone else does; he also wonders if God really listens to his
prayers. This is a wonderful story to share with the children in
your life.
