Elizabeth Elliott – författare

Baron Guy of Montague came to Lonsdale Castle prepared to fight for what was rightfully his...only to find a woman who made him all but forget his purpose. With her angel''s face and womanly curves, Lady Claudia Chiavari was enough to tempt a saint to sin. And when she returned his kisses with innocent fire, Guy knew that he was bewitched. But in a matter of hours, everything changed, as he found himself betrayed, betrothed, and imprisoned, with only Claudia to blame...Five lonely years of exile under her uncle''s tyrannical rule had taught Italian-born Claudia Chiavari to distrust all Englishmen--until Guy swept into her life. Now, determined to prove to the handsome knight that she had no part in her uncle''s schemes, she will risk her life to help him escape. But when she rides with Guy to  his magnificent fortress, she will discover a terrible truth: that she herself is a prisoner...and at the mercy of a man whose tumultuous passion could cost her her heart.

At long last, Elizabeth Elliott—the bestselling author of The Warlord and Scoundrel—returns with a medieval romance that will take readers’ breath away.   Thief, assassin, and master of disguise, Dante Chiavari is the most feared mercenary of England’s King Edward. On one last assignment, Dante must play the part of a chivalrous knight to steal Avalene de Forshay from her family and thwart the ruthless Faulke Segrave, who would wed Avalene and use her to spark war between Wales and the crown. Upon seeing the beautiful and innocent young maiden, however, the mercenary suddenly finds himself at the mercy of his own intense desire.   When Avalene meets the handsome knight she knows only as Sir Percival, he sweeps her off her feet even as he spirits her away from Coleway Castle. Their escape is wrought with risks and perils, but Avalene will find that the greatest danger lies in losing her heart. And after the truth is revealed, Avalene fears that she may never again be able to trust the dark knight who has come to mean more to her than life itself.

From the beloved author of The Warlord and The Dark Knight, an emotional, deeply passionate medieval romance   Married and widowed at a tender age, Princess Isabel Plantagenet understands her duty: to wed a new husband chosen by her father for the purpose of consolidating his power. Faulke Segrave, a rogue suspected of high treason whose past wives died under mysterious circumstances, is hardly suitor material, but his piercing blue eyes spark a fire in Isabel that makes her feel oddly safe and deeply curious. Quite a pair they will make, for she has dark secrets of her own that can never see the light of day.       Faulke does not relish this arrangement any more than his bride does, but he can’t deny his attraction to this poised, beautiful woman whose level gaze and strong command make him ache to have her. Her seduction becomes his conquest, even as deception and murderous scheming draw closer, threatening Faulke’s life, his heritage, and his cherished wife.   Praise for the novels of Elizabeth Elliott   “A historical romance with all the toppings.”—Under the Covers, on The Dark Knight   “A wondrous love story guaranteed to please fans of Julie Garwood, Elizabeth Lowell and Amanda Quick.”—Romantic Times, on The Warlord

In spite of new freedoms and new therapies love between men and women is not easy. Elizabeth Elliott's fifth book of poetry has three parts: "e;First Love First Happiness,"e; "e;In The Schools Of Love,"e; and "e;Love And Its Interruptions."e;She writes, "e;I am too old to speak about First Love in today's world, but sixty years ago first love was about being unable to speak, about innocence and a kind of thrilled fear. It was not about choice so much as about commitment. Until divorce happened it couldn't happen. But a new freedom beckoned beyond the true sadness, actions were signed into a record and then --freedom is scratching at our eager door. Are we prepared for this freedom? NO. Do we learn? I guess."e; Eighteen poems have been culled from earlier books, thirty-nine poems are new or never been published. Included is a new concept for poetry, -just a word. Here you'll find insights written by the author behind the scenes for each poem. Elizabeth's poetry explores the human condition in our quests for power and truth, for persistence, justice and hope. On our need for individuality, a purpose, and for achieving our goals with courage and persistence. Her poems show us our innocence and our temptations, our gratitude and appreciation, and our freedom. Our struggle to overcome loss and death, evil and harm, war and conflict and to find love and joy with the healing power of our spirit and our psyche. And our capacity to play, to study nature, science, and time, to create art and beauty, to sense the paradox and to experience the transformation of our lives. Here is the poetry of life, and a life of poetry.

Life Goes On Even When "e;Shadowed By War"e;The violence to a mother and her kite-flying son in Placate The Jaws, the plea for hope beyond war in To The Children Of Those Who Hate Us, and the poignant sight of a young man walking along the highway in Outside Postnet, are three efforts of a non-combatant poet to make war real for all the lucky ones who live their lives outside the zones of war.Four of the fifty-six short poems in Elliott's fourth book of poems are songs that she wishes she could set to music: Just A Detour, Dancing In The Valley Of The Dolls, Indium Blues, and All In White Linen. There is also a longer poem about death, Before You Close The Lid, and a poem that scolds cut flowers for feeling sorry for themselves, In Death Be Proud. The ambition of a parrot, a soliloquy by a lobster, a child therapist with a problem of rabbits, and the early days of a dysfunctional family, Children and Parents are all poems about normal life that never stops. But all these various scenes exist in a world where war and violence are becoming the new normal and we must protect ourselves from not caring about what war does to children and families, what war has done to returning soldiers. This section, "e;Shadowed by War,"e; is surrounded by songs and life lived in a lucky place like America.Elizabeth's poetry explores the human condition in our quests for power and truth, for persistence, justice and hope.

Challenge: Write A Poem That Makes Personal To a Reader How The Human Sin Of Excess Carbon Is Causing Climate ChangeThis third book of Elliott's poetry plunges into the effort of causing readers to experience the grief Elliott experiences as she watches the window closing, that last window of time during which a universally fought battle against excess human carbon could still have a positive effect.Ten years ago, information published from the reputable scientific community about present and future climate change, caused Elliott an unbearable grief. "e;More like a huge weight"e;, she says, and she was unable to throw it off. And the years kept passing when we still had time to stop, or at least significantly slow down the carbon warming process. "e;How could the world's leaders give this increasing danger so little committed attention? How could some ignore it all together? As for the deniers ---"e; Elliott was sure that millions of ordinary people were enduring the same amazed burden of sorrow as she. But how to effectively communicate such feelings? The title poem, "e;Winter Ferry"e; is her answer. Embedded within the narrative of a ferry's last voyage are two stories that recall what we have lost: fresh pears and a miracle. The second poem in this same first section drives home the sense of loss: "e;Jericho Bay"e; is a short lyric about a summer day, taken for granted, long ago. In four further sections, poems speak to various subjects: to race, Where Is My Color?, to beauty, Plagiarize Beauty, to religion, Annunciation, to family, Sue, Folding Shirts, to evolution, Question For Darwin, and to music, Listening to Bach's B Minor Mass. But the first section matters.Elliott's poetry explores the human condition in our quests for power and truth, for persistence, justice and hope.

Remembering Boethius explores the rich intersection between the reception of Boethius and the literary construction of aristocratic identity, focusing on a body of late-medieval vernacular literature that draws on the Consolation of Philosophy to represent and reimagine contemporary experiences of exile and imprisonment. Elizabeth Elliott presents new interpretations of English, French, and Scottish texts, including Machaut's Confort d'ami, Remede de Fortune, and Fonteinne amoureuse, Jean Froissart's Prison amoureuse, Thomas Usk's Testament of Love, and The Kingis Quair, reading these texts as sources contributing to the development of the reader's moral character. These writers evoke Boethius in order to articulate and shape personal identities for public consumption, and Elliott's careful examination demonstrates that these texts often write not one life, but two, depicting the relationship between poet and aristocratic patron. These works associate the reception of wisdom with the cultivation of memory, and in turn, illuminate the contemporary reception of the Consolation as a text that itself focuses on memory and describes a visionary process of education that takes place within Boethius's own mind. In asking how and why writers remember Boethius in the Middle Ages, this book sheds new light on how medieval people imagined, and reimagined, themselves.
