Murdering Miss Marple

Murdering Miss Marple

McFarland Co Inc
2012
pokkari
During the interwar "golden age" of British detective fiction, women writers like Dorothy L. Sayers and Agatha Christie reigned, but their work remains tame compared to today's crime novels. Elements of sexuality and gender, including soft porn and sexual psychopathy, pervade contemporary detective fiction. The 10 essays in this collection explore issues of gender and sexuality in crime writing by women from 1985 to 2011, surveying works about girl sleuths, parodies, hard-boiled detective fiction, police procedurals, and recent serial killer series. They examine the relationship between genre and gender and explore how later works enter into a field of "post-feminism." Most importantly, this volume demonstrates how popular women writers of the last three decades have reconceptualized what it means to be a female detective.

Brice Marden: Marbles and Drawings

Brice Marden: Marbles and Drawings

Dimitrio Antonitsis

Rizzoli International Publications
2021
sidottu
In 1981, while summering on the island of Hydra, Greece, Brice Marden began painting on small fragments of marble from local quarries. These compositions marked a transitional moment in his career. Marden has continued to make marble paintings since that time, describing his strategy as taking an accident and turning it into a form. This volume commemorates an exhibition of the artist s marble paintings presented at Gagosian, Athens, in 2020 his first solo exhibition in Greece in four decades. To complement the marbles, Marden selected a small group of ink drawings on paper and a six-panel painting, Free Painting 3 (2017). Together with full views and details of individual works, this beautifully illustrated volume features installation photography and a new essay by Dimitrios Antonitsis, in English and Greek, that considers the marble paintings in the context of the artist s long connection to Hydra.

When a young prodigy in 1850s Virginia begins to question the morality of slavery, will he have the fortitude to take action?Gideon Covington is embroiled in the bloody siege at Vicksburg during the Civil War and is not confident that he will survive the battle. He has therefore decided to reveal the extraordinary events that brought him here.Gideon's tale begins when he is twelve years old. The boy is considered to be a genius and although he longs for a university education, he seems destined to remain in rural Virginia as he is heir to the ancestral plantation. Family tragedy accelerates his fate and his hope to further his education begins to evaporate. Fortunately he finds a mentor in a visiting professor. The lessons of the eccentric teacher are academic in nature, but so thought provoking that Gideon begins to do the unimaginable for a Southerner: question the morality of slavery. However, these lessons are interrupted when the owner of a neighboring plantation dies under suspicious circumstances. Under the professor's tutelage, Gideon investigates the death using the stories of Edgar Allan Poe as a model. The culmination of the mystery leads the boy to confront not only the murderer, but the institution of slavery itself.VISIT STEVE LEADLEY'S WEBSITE: www.steveleadleyauthorpage.weebly.com

The Xanthian Marbles

The Xanthian Marbles

Charles Fellows

Cambridge University Press
2015
pokkari
The traveller and archaeologist Sir Charles Fellows (1799–1860) made several trips through Asia Minor. His careful observations of ancient cities that were at that time unknown to Europeans captured the attention of readers of his published journals and fuelled the British Museum's desire to acquire antiquities from the region. This brief work, first published in 1843, seeks to explain and justify how Fellows shipped dozens of cases of sculptures and architectural remains to Malta from Xanthos, an important city in ancient Lycia. It includes correspondence relating to the practicalities of carrying out the expedition and securing permission to do so from the Ottoman authorities. Fellows was later knighted for his role in these acquisitions, though controversy surrounds their removal. His well-illustrated accounts of his two previous trips to Asia Minor are also reissued in this series.
