Edgar Allan Poe and His Nineteenth-Century American Counterparts

John Cullen Gruesser

Bloomsbury Academic USA
2019
sidottu
Winner of the 2019 Patrick F. Quinn Award for the best book on Poe (awarded by the Poe Studies Association) Edgar Allan Poe and His Nineteenth-Century American Counterparts addresses Poe’s connections with, critical assessments of, borrowings from, and effect on his literary peers. It situates Poe within his own time and place, paying particular attention to his interactions with, and impact on, figures such as Nathaniel Hawthorne, Walt Whitman, Herman Melville, Mark Twain, Harriet Jacobs, and Pauline Hopkins. John Cullen Gruesser rebuts myths that continue to cling to Poe, demonstrates Poe’s ability to transform themes he encountered in the works of his literary contemporaries into great literature, and establishes the profound influence of Poe’s invention of detective fiction on nineteenth-century American writers.

'An Alien Ideology'

'An Alien Ideology'

John Mulqueen

Liverpool University Press
2019
sidottu
An ‘Irish Cuba’ – on Britain’s doorstep? This book studies perceptions of the Soviet Union's influence over Irish revolutionaries during the Cold War. The Dublin authorities did not allow the Irish state’s non-aligned status to prevent them joining the West’s struggle against communism. Leading officials, such as Colonel Dan Bryan in G2, the Irish army intelligence directorate, argued that Ireland should assist the NATO powers. British and Irish officials believed communists in Ireland were directed by the British communist party, the CPGB. If Moscow's express adherents were too isolated to pose a threat in either Irish jurisdiction, the republican movement was a different matter. The authorities, north and south, saw that a communist-influenced IRA had potential appeal. This Cold War nightmare arrived with the outbreak of the Northern Ireland Troubles. Whitehall feared Dublin could become a Russian espionage hub, with the Marxist-led Official IRA acting as a Soviet proxy. To what extent did the Official republican movement's Workers’ Party serve the Soviets’ Cold War agenda?

Kiroc has suddenly found himself elected as the Scorched Earth Mission Planner for an octonian landing party. His daughter Dawn seeks to help him stay grounded as their Hospitium Sphere hurtles through space and time. While a Terrestrial Behavioral Engineering corporation seeks to redefine the essence of humanity for their profit, the forces of alien octonians, dolphins, crypto criminals, improv comedians, YouTubers, scientists, an undercover alien dog, and a cybernetic squirrel all threaten to be their undoing. Not even the mysterious doughnut gnomes have a sightline on the outcome. What if extra-terrestrials wanted to ensure the survival of the human race, yet carried the seeds of catastrophic destruction? What if a cleaning, robotic collective was witness to it all? What started off with the illicit sale of lemonade on Alberta Street in the city of Portland has become the catalyst of Cosmic Importance
