Narrating Reality offers a provocative and original critique of nineteenth-century British realist fiction and our ways of understanding it. Paying close attention to the role of the narrator, Harry E. Shaw challenges the denigration of realism that has become a critical orthodoxy in recent decades. Drawing on such thinkers as Erich Auerbach, Jürgen Habermas, and J. L. Austin, Shaw contends that realist novels claim not to replicate the world in their pages or to offer transparent access to it, but to involve readers in a process of narrative understanding adequate to grasping the complexities of life in history. Seen in this light, the works of such novelists as Sir Walter Scott, Jane Austen, and George Eliot, as they depict their own and other cultures and strive to imagine regions of freedom in the dense and constricting web of history, gain a new interest.

Mary Queen of Scots may reign, but villainous plotters have designs on her throne… Held captive during her teens by an evil lord, beautiful heiress Margaret Carwood uses her wits and ingenuity to escape his clutches, becoming Mary Queen of Scots' favoured lady-in-waiting in the process. With her future secure, she's fiercely determined never to be dominated by a man again, and convinced that she doesn't need to marry to be happy. Descended from Robert the Bruce, Highland laird John Stewart is just as tenacious—and stubborn—as his illustrious ancestor. When tragedy hits his ancestral home, he comes south to seek his fortune at the royal court in Edinburgh. The queen's household is a place of drama and intrigue, where people wear masks for entertainment—and to cover their real motivations. Thrown together by a matchmaking queen, John discovers that Margaret is one of the few ladies he can trust to speak her mind—even if it means that their arguments are regular and heated. But when he gets caught up in the machinations of villainous plotters, John finds himself in the wrong place at the wrong time. It’s a mistake that could cost him his reputation--or his life... :: Set during the turbulent reign of Mary Queen of Scots, A Love Concealed is a stand-alone Scottish historical romance with a HEA.
