A Nick Hoffman / Academic Mystery, Book 2 - Nick Hoffman, desperate to get tenure, has been saddled with a thankless task: coordinating a conference on Edith Wharton that will demonstrate how his department and his university supports women's issues. There's been widespread criticism that SUM is really the State University of Men. Problem is, he's forced to invite two warring Wharton societies, and the conflict between rival scholars escalates from mudslinging to murder. Nick's job and whole career are on the line unless he can help solve the case and salvage the conference.Originally published in 1998, this new edition contains a 2020 foreword by Gregory Ashe as well as a new introduction by the author.

In Tell Edith Goodbye, he reveals the true story for the first time.It's the summer of 1935, and a stranger known simply as the Finn has arrived in the Skagit Valley.

Problemet Edith Carlmar

Problemet Edith Carlmar

Toril Moi

Nasjonalbiblioteket
2020
nidottu
«Egentlig krever vi at pionerkvinnen ikke bare skal bryte barrierer, men i tillegg overgå sine mannlige kolleger» Edith Carlmar var Norges første kvinnelige filmregissør. Gjennom 1950-tallet produserte hun flere filmer som gjorde stor suksess i sin samtid. Disse har siden blitt stemplet som B-filmer, og Carlmar er i ferd med å bli glemt. Har hun blitt dømt for hardt, og på hvilket grunnlag? Toril Moi drøfter filmene og reflekterer rundt filmkunst og filmhåndverk, kultursnobberi og urimelige forventninger. Dette essayet er del av en foredragsserie om kultur og liv i 1950-tallets Norge. På jakt etter forståelse av landet og tiåret hun selv ble født i, undersøker Toril Moi kulturuttrykk fra perioden. Prosjektet er både personlig og historisk. Uten å forstå Norge kan hun heller ikke forstå seg selv.

Rocky & Edith

Rocky & Edith

Martin Kellerman

Kaunitz-Olsson
2025
sidottu
Rocky & Edith är historien om hur Martin ­Kellerman blir kär och lämnar sin lycka i en ­annan persons galna händer. Det är en berättelse om kärlek, svartsjuka, längtan och ensamhet. Men framför allt är det en väldigt rolig bok om ganska allvarliga saker.”Den här historien, som är hämtad från Keller­mans eget liv, berättas genom några hundra serie­sidor, som inte bara står på egna ben med fantastiska oneliners, utan också målar upp en bild om oss och om vår tid, vad som händer just nu, som vilken författare som helst skulle skära av sig ena handen för att åstadkomma, för det är det som är så jäkla svårt att få tag på: tonen vi pratar i, sakerna vi är upptagna av, kunskapen om världen vi har. Kellermans öra för den tonen är absolut.” Ur Karl Ove Knausgårds förordMartin Kellerman (f. 1972) är serietecknare som i tjugo år ritade serien Rocky. En generationsskildring som samlats i drygt trettio album i Sverige och runt om i världen.

Remembering Edith Alice Müller

Remembering Edith Alice Müller

Springer

Edith Alicia Müller (1918-1995) was the IAU General Secretary from 1976 to 1979, the first woman to have this responsibility. Many friends, students and colleagues, and others who have met Edith at different occasions, give in this book their memories of her. Her fundamental work in solar physics concerned the chemical composition of the Sun, the time variation of its infra-red spectrum, and its thermal structure. Her interests were, however, far broader than that. She was heavily involved in international work for the teaching of astronomy and for the exchange program of young astronomers.

She not only chronicles these changes in memorable detail, she sets them in perspective through her prodigious knowledge of history, philosophy, and religion. A Historical Guide to Edith Wharton provides scholarly and general readers with historical contexts that illuminate Wharton's life and writing in new, exciting ways. Essays in the volume expand our sense of Wharton as a novelist of manners and demonstrate her engagement with issues of her day.

Sui Sin Far / Edith Maude Eaton

Sui Sin Far / Edith Maude Eaton

Annette White-Parks; Roger Daniels

University of Illinois Press
1995
sidottu
The eldest daughter of a Chinese mother and British father, Edith Maude Eaton was born in the United Kingdom in 1865. Her family moved to Quebec, where she was removed from school at age ten to help support her parents and twelve siblings. In the 1880s and 1890s, Eaton worked as a stenographer, journalist, and fiction writer in Montreal, often writing under the name Sui Sin Far (Water Lily). She lived briefly in Jamaica and then settled in the United States, where she published her one book, Mrs. Spring Fragrance. Annette White-Parks offers the first full-length biography of the woman now remembered as North America's first published Asian writer. White-Parks reveals an author who defied the in vogue style of "yellow peril" literature to show Chinatowns and their inhabitants as complex, feeling human beings. Her insider's sympathy focused in particular on Chinese American women and children. Confronted with social divisions and discrimination, Sui Sin Far experimented with trickster characters and irony, sharing the coping mechanisms used by other writers who struggled to overcome the marginalization forced on them because of their race, gender, or class.

A major new biography of Edith Tudor Hart, the photographer and Soviet agent who recruited Kim Philby Edith Tudor Hart has long evaded biographers. A Jewish-Austrian exile in 1930s London, she was a talented professional photographer, anti-fascist activist—and Soviet secret agent. Daria Santini provides the first full biography of this elusive figure. She traces Tudor Hart’s life from her early years in the socialist intellectual circles of Vienna through her training at the Bauhaus to her work as a Soviet agent in Britain. Tudor Hart played a vital role in the Cambridge Spies network, including recruiting Kim Philby. Throughout her life, Tudor Hart was deeply committed to the ideals of communism. But despite being watched by the British Secret Service for decades, she was never caught and never confessed. In this moving account, Santini pieces together the story of Edith’s life, revealing a woman of great energy, determination, and creativity.
