Even with no war on, there are always battles to fight. A cease-fire in the war with Hanover leaves Lieutenant Alexis Carew on half-pay, in-atmosphere, and with her ship laid up in ordinary until called upon once more for the "needs of the Service." She was, at least, lucky enough to be in her home star system when here last ship, HMS Nightingale, paid off, unlike much of her former crew. She's left to help manage her family lands, though still with no certainty she'll be allowed to inherit them. It would be a tranquil, peaceful life, if not for the influx of asteroid miners seeking their fortunes, the uncertainties of her inheritance, and the nagging certainty that her current life is not what she really wants. She'd give anything to command a ship again.

Trace of Grey Nursing White back to health for the past two months has prevented Grey from taking on any new projects. She's more than ready to get back to work when White offers her a simple surveillance job. The basic op turns up something from the past, putting extra pressure on White, and cutting Alex off the elite need-to-know list. Everyone has secrets, but some are more guarded than others. Fragments of Grey Betrayed, miserable, and estranged from White and Associates, Alexis Stanton entertains thoughts of payback-but she can't sever the last few ties she so desperately clings to. Revenge is not the answer. Tragedy opens the door for her return to White after she completes one last assignment for his competitor, a temporary job she'd taken while she figured out a few things. But what she discovers changes everything, and now Alexis knows: revenge is the only answer. Edge of Grey When you take away a woman's soulmate, you take away her purpose. When White is taken from Alex, she finds a new purpose. Cast aside by her former partners, she will hunt down everyone responsible for her loss and Make. Them. Pay. Harder... darker... at the edge of sanity. But still the world's most notorious assassin. Penumbra will have her reckoning.

Der Romancier Willibald Alexis (1798-1871) ist mit seinem literarischen Werk, den so genannten vaterlandischen Romanen, im deutschen Sprachraum weitgehend unbekannt. Obwohl er als Literaturkritiker und zeitkritischer Publizist bei seinen Zeitgenossen eine angesehene und gefragte Persoenlichkeit war, gelang es ihm nicht, als Romancier zu demselben Ruhm zu gelangen. Wahrend Jahrzehnten wurde ihm zum Vorwurf gemacht, sein Erzahlstil sei abgehackt, chaotisch, die Romane seien langatmig, verwirrend und spannungslos. Doch gerade seine vaterlandischen Romane haben den deutschen historischen Roman als Gattung hinsichtlich des Erzahlstils und der Darstellungsweise massgeblich beeinflusst. Anhand des so genannten "Zurcher Modells" wird Alexis' Hauptwerk Ruhe ist die erste Burgerpflicht (1852) systematisch analysiert. Folgende Fragen sind dabei zentral: Welche Formen an Mittelbarkeit enthalt der Roman, welche fehlen? Welche Elemente erzeugen Unmittelbarkeit? Wie sieht die Innerlichkeit der Figuren aus? Ist sie dargestellt oder berichtet? Welche Figuren sind der Leserin und dem Leser weshalb naher? Durch eine erzahltheoretische Analyse und Interpretation, die zeigt, dass Alexis' Erzahlweise keineswegs alt und verstaubt, sondern erfrischend modern ist, versucht diese Arbeit dem Text seinen rechtmassigen Platz im 19. Jahrhundert zu geben.

Paul Alexis, who called himself an "outsider", deserved to be re-discovered as a writer in his own right, and not only as Emile Zola's follower. The study of his many-sided personality and literary achievement will evince both the peculiarity and endowment of him as a writer.

Feminist Interpretations of Alexis de Tocqueville
Pennsylvania State University Press
2009
sidottu
This book moves beyond traditional readings of Alexis de Tocqueville (1805-59) and his relevance to contemporary democracy by emphasizing the relationship of his life and work to modern feminist thought. Within the resurgence of political interest in Tocqueville during the past two decades, especially in the United States, there has been significant scholarly attention to the place of gender, race, and colonialism in his work. This is the first edited volume to gather together a range of this creative scholarship. It reveals a tidal shift in the reception history of Tocqueville as a result of his serious engagement by feminist, gender, postcolonial, and critical race theorists.The volume highlights the expressly normative nature of Tocqueville's project, thus providing an overdue counterweight to the conventional understanding of Tocquevillean America as an actual place in time and history. By reading Tocqueville alongside the writings of early women's rights activists, ethnologists, critical race theorists, contemporary feminists, neoconservatives, and his French contemporaries, among others, this book produces a variety of Tocquevilles that unsettles the hegemonic view of his work.Seen as a philosophical source and a political authority for modern democracies since the publication of the twin volumes of Democracy in America (1835/1840), Tocqueville emerges from this collection as a vital interlocutor for democratic theorists confronting the power relations generated by intersections of gender, sexual, racial, class, ethnic, national, and colonial identities.In addition to the editors, the contributors are Jocelyn Boryczka, Richard Boyd, Christine Carey, Barbara Cruikshank, Laura Janara, Matthew Holbreich, Kathleen S. Sullivan, Alvin B. Tillery Jr., Lisa Pace Vetter, Dana Villa, Cheryl B. Welch, and Delba Winthrop.
