H.D. and Modernist Religious Imagination

H.D. and Modernist Religious Imagination

Elizabeth Anderson

Bloomsbury Academic
2015
nidottu
Exploring the intersection of religious sensibility and creativity in the poetry and prose of the American modernist writer, H.D., this volume explores the nexus of the religious, the visionary, the creative and the material. Drawing on original archival research and analyses of newly published and currently unpublished writings by H.D., Elizabeth Anderson shows how the poet's work is informed by a range of religious traditions, from the complexities and contradictions of Moravian Christianity to a wide range of esoteric beliefs and practices. H.D and Modernist Religious Imagination brings H.D.'s texts into dialogue with the French theorist Hélène Cixous, whose attention to writing, imagination and the sacred has been a neglected, but rich, critical and theological resource. In analysing the connection both writers craft between the sacred, the material and the creative, this study makes a thoroughly original contribution to the emerging scholarly conversation on modernism and religion, and the debate on the inter-relation of the spiritual and the material within the interdisciplinary field of literature and religion.

Can one weekend change your life ? Just ask best friends Aston, Tisha and Denise. Since graduating from college ten years earlier, the three friends have gone on to have seemingly perfect lives and become accomplished in her own right. However, when the friends reunite for Homecoming at their alma mater, events begin to reveal that the ladies' lives may not be as perfect as they initially seemed. Baby-girl Tisha, waking up from a long, seductive nap in the land of denial, is beginning to see her fairytale marriage for what it is...and isn't. Fiery Denise is tired, stressed and can't figure out how to commit to motherhood, marriage or her career at the same time. And level-headed Aston feels that something is not quite right in her fast-paced life but has no idea how or what to fix. Mix in old beaus, untold secrets, a jealous husband, a batch of mojitos and a whirlwind weekend of fun and partying changes into something that forces each friend to face their individual dilemma and make decisions which could change them forever. Over a drama-filled four day period, the girls begin to embark on the empowering transformation from young ladies to grown women and learn the true meaning of success, friendship and love. Please enjoy the following excerpt: "Tisha sat in her home staring out the window. Although she appeared calm and meditative as she sipped her tea, her mind was spinning out a list of "to dos","got dones", and "did I forget that's" so long that it made her want to add a little brandy to her cup. Tisha hoped she had everything covered but she could get so distracted at times and being organized wasn't one of her strengths. Oh, she meant well, but someone else always stepped in; her husband, her parents, her housekeeper, Javia and sometimes, even her children. Tisha loved sparkly things like her home and her pretty little daughters, she just hated the upkeep, the mundane daily tasks that made everything shine. Her husband was also sparkly but lately his glow had gotten a little too bright, which was why Tisha sat in her beautiful home alone, making lists in her head of all the things she usually left to him: the bills, the errands, the arrangements, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera." "...Although Tisha was definitely the baby girl, even baby girls grow up. Realizing that her fine and flashy husband was turning the light on for more than just her alone and probably had been for quite some time, she put him out. Always the forgiving optimist, Tisha separated from him only after marriage and ministerial counseling, parental intervention and psychic phone calls failed to turn her man around. Of course he still called; he missed her and really would change. Tisha knew it was a standard line from the Player's Handbook under the chapter entitled "Ain't to Proud to Beg," but still, she hated the responsibility of her life. She liked spending, spoiling and being spoiled. Lonnie had always provided well for her and if she just looked the other way.....plenty of women did...." "Homecoming" is the first installment of the Homecoming trilogy. The second installment, "Measure of A Man", is currently available and continues the story from the perspective of the male characters in the story.

H.C. Bailey's Reggie Fortune and the Golden Age of Detective Fiction

H.C. Bailey's Reggie Fortune and the Golden Age of Detective Fiction

Laird R. Blackwell

McFarland Co Inc
2017
pokkari
H.C. Bailey's detective Reggie Fortune was one of the most popular protagonists of the Golden Age of detective fiction. Fortune appeared in nine novels yet it was in a series of 84 short stories that were published from 1920 to 1940 where he truly shone, combining elements of several popular archetypes--the eccentric logician, the forensic investigator, the hard-boiled interrogator, the psychological profiler, the defender of justice. This critical study examines the Fortune stories in the context of other popular detective fiction of the era. Bailey's classics are distinguished by well-clued puzzles, brilliant sleuthing, vivid description and social critique, with Fortune evoking images of Don Quixote and the Arthurian Knights in his pursuit of truth and justice in an uncaring world.

Four years ago, Grant Nieddu and Kenny Ellis found themselves stuck on the northern peninsula of Haiti. They came to deliver rice during the food crisis. During that fate-filled trip, Grant and Kenny found so much more. They found a thrilling adventure and a challenging calling. Going on to co-found CPI Haiti (www.cpihaiti.org), hosting innumerable development trips, and building a local school, Grant and Kenny learned many valuable lessons. H.O.P.E. from Here to Haiti relays just a few of their stories and the lessons they learned from their Haitian friends. From outrunning flooding rains and dangerous ravines, to working with the unseen heroes of the local village, Grant tells the story of life on the mission field. More than that, the lessons point to a process by which people can gain a sense of hope in their own lives, whether abroad on the mission field or on the mission field at home. "We are united by our human needs; first our physical needs, then our emotional needs, but above all we are united through our need for hope...as you read this book you'll discover just how true this really is." - Seth Czerepak
