In Edwin and John: A Personal History of the American South, award-winning author James T. Sears interweaves diaries, letters and poems to craft an innovative first-person narrative history that details the hard realities of growing up gay in the South during the early decades of the 20th century. Set against the backdrop of World War II and the post-war South, Edwin and John, provides a unique and intimate approach to queer history by following the 50 year relationship between John Zeigler and Edwin Peacocke that carried them both from their roots in the conservative South, through service in World War II, and into a placid and loving literary life where they opened a bookshop in what was then the small town of Charleston, South Carolina. Edwin and John is a revealing look at queer history, detailing how these two men and their remarkable circle of close friends--which included some of the greatest writers and artists of their era including Prentiss Taylor, Carson McCullers, and John Bennett--endured war, intolerance, and jealousies, while living proud and public lives in far more conservative times.
Edwin's Story - The Mystery of Edwin Drood: Resolved and Four Other Short Stories: Edwin's Story - No Regrets - Wild River - The Shed - Prison Earth
'Edwin's Story' resolves the mystery of what happened to Edwin Drood after he mysteriously disappears on the night of Christmas Eve, after going to witness the effects of a great storm on the river, accompanied by his rival in love, Neville Landless, who harbours very strong feelings for Edwin's betrothed, the beautiful and youthful Rosa Bud. However, Neville is not the only person who hides these secret desires. Edwin's Uncle, John Jasper the Choir Master of Cloisterham Cathedral, who is also Rosa's Music Master, holds the same secret desires for Edwin's betrothed. What has happened to Edwin, who has simply disappeared during the night? Has he been done away with by a love rival, has he been pushed into or fallen into the raging river, or has he merely fled from sleepy Cloisterham City, after a heart to heart talk with the beautiful, Rosa Bud. 'No Regrets' is a post American civil war western, which tells the story of two young children who are kidnapped by a Comanche War Party, who have killed their parents. Brother and sister Matt and Maisie are unceremoniously tied to horses by their captors, who gallop off westwards with them in tow. Will Matt and Maisie survive their harsh treatment at the hands of their Indian captors and will they ever return to the place, they once called home? 'Wild River' continues the 'No Regrets' saga and centres around the story of two hunters, namely Brent and Tom, who meet up with a mysterious stranger, who introduces them to the people of his secluded Indian village, which becomes the target of US Cavalry troops. Will Brent and Tom be able to help the stranger's people avoid being killed or captured, by the steadily approaching soldiers? Moreover, will Brent ever see Matt and Maisie again? 'The Shed' is a magical fantasy, which tells the story of John who is an avid collector of everything from model aircraft to antique horses. However, after many years collecting all sorts of artefacts, John's collection has begun to take up all the available storage space in the house, much to his wife Jane's dismay. It is only after his long suffering wife threatens to leave him, that John realises that he will have to build 'The Shed'. 'Prison Earth' is a science fiction story which straddles the past, present and future. It tells the story of how human beings came to inhabit the Earth, ultimately do their best to destroy it and how visitors from another planet come to the rescue of some of their descendants, in an environmentally damaged planet Earth.

The Catholic Side of Henry James

The Catholic Side of Henry James

Edwin Sill Fussell

2009
pokkari
The Catholic Side of Henry James reveals the profound Catholic imagery in the work of Henry James. Edwin Fussell questions conventional critical assumptions about James' secularity and shows that James' career began with narratives of Catholic conversion and ended with his masterpiece of Catholic eccentricity and alienation, The Golden Bowl. The interplay of men and women, of America and Europe - those acknowledged Jamesian themes - comes to be overlaid with the interplay between Protestant and Catholic. Fussell's examination ranges from James' early reviews of religious books for the Nation and early tales like 'De Grey: A Romance' through much of the canon, along the way re-examining James' overlooked play Guy Domville and climaxing with a magnificent reading of The Golden Bowl, convincingly demonstrating James' involvement with Catholic themes.
