The regime of Isabella and Mortimer 1326 - 1330
No full textThe rule of the Despensers was brought to an end in 1326 by a coalition of magnates, churchmen and Londoners, drawn together by the invasion of Isabella and Mortimer. A carefully orchestrated demand for the removal of Edward II led to his deposition and ultimately to his murder at Mortimer's direction. Power was centralised in the hands of Isabella and Mortimer who took no steps to broaden the basis of their government. While returning confiscated lands to their supporters, they offered them little else in the way of reward but accumulated land to their own use, Crown land in the case of Isabella and an empire on the Welsh March in the case of Mortimer. Disillusioned by this and by their exclusion from government, the constituent parts of the coalition fell apart. Active opposition which had begun in Edward II's lifetime culminated in Lancaster's abortive rebellion of 1328-29. The effective suppression of this meant that opposition was stifled by the imposition of recognisances and because several barons fled abroad. This success merely served to increase Mortimer's arrogance and in 1330 he successfully engineered the downfall of Edward III's uncle, the earl of Kent. In foreign affairs, the failure of the Weardale campaign against the Scots and the unpopular peace of Northampton, coupled with a temporising and indecisive policy towards France over the questions of Gascony and homage, increased hostility towards the government. At home violent unrest continued and an improvident and irresponsible attitude to national finance involved heavy borrowing at a time when Mortimer lived in extravagant state. Faced by this misgovernment and fearing that Mortimer now aimed at royal power, Edward III built his own supporting group around him. When the opportunity came he struck swiftly at Mortimer, sending him to execution and Isabella into retirement

"""Cleopatra"" from Portraits of Women by Philippe Sollers, translated by Armine Kotin Mortimer"
No full textPhilippe Sollers, a notoriously woman-oriented novelist, addresses the relations between the sexes as concerns real women in Portraits de femmes, published by Flammarion in 2013. “Cleopatra” is my translation of the twentieth chapter.
Sollers’s book engages in a gentle, good-humored polemic, expressing his delight and tranquil admiration for what women have brought him and especially for how the exceptional women he portrays stand out as admirable human beings. Thus his intensely personal assumption of Cleopatra, via Shakespeare, but the chapter conflates the Egyptian queen with his mistress of more than fifty years, Dominique Rolin, who as she faced death in 2012 bid her lover “Goodbye, little darling!”Open Restriction set for Item 94058 on 2016-10-18T17:19:15Z with date null by [email protected] by Armine Mortimer ([email protected]) on 2016-10-18T17:32:34Z

The Book of Mortimer Another Testament!
No full textabstract: The Book of Mortimer is a satirical account about the rise of a new modern day Mormon woman prophet named Champ. The mother of six—and wife to a very codependent man that can’t be left alone with a comfortable couch—believes a new testament is buried in a small field conveniently next to her kids’ bus stop. Taking place in a lower class area constructed entirely of beige apartments in Mesa, Arizona, The Book of Mortimer plays on similar themes of the early day Mormon Church and reimagines this American religion if it were discovered in the 21st century. Complete with an elite Home Owner’s Association, a corrupt frozen pizza company, a ten-year old capitalist, a trio of milk purveyors that hold a group of unfortunates hostage in the biggest grocery store in The United States, and an elementary school that is quite possibly run by a Neo-Nazi principal hiding his identity, The Book of Mortimer is an exhaustively entertaining novel, exploring themes of poverty and class, relationships and commitment, and figuring out one’s self-worth in an overwhelming world of persuasion and guilt.Dissertation/ThesisMasters Thesis Creative Writing 201

Four people arrive in the safehouse. With only the clothes on their backs, they find themselves asking what had been lost, and what was there left to lose?
