bluestocking

I didn’t think it was possible for an actor as natural as Jayne Houdyshell to ever look out of place on stage, but she seemed completely at sea in the role of Maria, Vanya’s mother, an old bluestocking with a bent for armchair radicalism.

Although she’s not given much to do, the astringent Anne Gee Byrd lends Marya, Vanya’s bluestocking mother, a feisty, antagonistic presence.

A Regency romance with a master of a disguise and a Bluestocking?

The free books are the main perk of bookstagram, said Jennifer Lewis of Bluestocking Bookshelf.

Not only do they call into question the veracity of the Bluestocking story line but they also progressively drain it of interest.
