{"product_id":"9780195086508","title":"The Galesia Trilogy and Selected Manuscript Poems of Jane Barker","description":"\u003cp\u003eNovelist, religious dissident, political poet, and sometime Jacobite spy, Jane Barker wrote on a remarkable variety of subjects and displayed a facility with an equally remarkable variety of genres. Most extraordinary, though, was her ability to manipulate the objects of female domesticity, an embroidered patch-work screen for example, as literary conceits to rival those of her male contemporaries. \"A Patch-Work Screen for the Ladies\" (1723) and \"The Lining of the Patch-Work Screen (1726), both part of The Galesia Trilogy, attest to her talents; they include realistic stories and romances interspersed with poems, hymns, recipes, and religious and philosophical reflections on the turbulent social, economic, and political scene of early eighteenth-century England. Both works, when first published, achieved immense popularity. This volume reprints the entire Galesia Trilogy as well as a selection of poems from the Magdalen manuscript.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47022453391600,"sku":"9780195086508","price":160.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780195086508_p0.jpg?v=1763663189","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780195086508","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
