Número de Páginas: 219

Los Gedge viven en un pueblecito idílico, y en una mansión no menos maravillosa. Lo que no saben es que dos ladrones de guante muy blanco codician sus diamantes. La señora Gedge, por su parte, ambiciona para su marido la embajada de los Estados Unidos en Francia, y para conseguirla está dispuesta a utilizar incluso el chantaje. Y su presunta víctima es el influyente senador Opal, padre de Jane, una enamoradiza jovencita... Y con estos ingredientes y algunos más típicos del irresistible humor de Wodehouse como por ejemplo uno de los muy ingleses ladrones de guante blanco, disfrazado de impecable aristócrata francés, el lector ya tiene la diversión asegurada.

Harrier 809

Autor: Rowland White

Número de Páginas: 461

'Utterly brilliant: a fantastically exciting book... This really does read like the best kind of thriller. His best book yet' James Holland, author of Normandy '44 April 1982. Argentina invades the Falkland Islands. In response, Britain despatches a naval task force. Eight thousand miles from home, its fate hinges on just twenty Sea Harriers against the two hundred-strong might of the Argentine Air Force. The odds against them are overwhelming. The MoD's own estimates suggest that half the Harriers will be lost in the opening days of the conflict. They need backup. Within three weeks 809 Naval Air Squadron is reformed, trained and heading south, ready for war. Not since World War Two had so much been expected of such a small band of pilots.

Autor: Sarah Flew

Número de Páginas: 257

This book examines the growth of charity in 19th century Britain through the lens of the philanthropic activities of Samuel Jones-Loyd, 1st Baron Overstone, over a 40-year period. Sarah Flew incorporates comprehensive archival research, and analyses Samuel Jones-Loyd's financial ledgers and letters, in order to illuminate both Jones-Loyd's philanthropic motives, and broader social issues in Britain and abroad during the Victorian era. Structured around the different recipients of Jones-Loyd's 2,880 donations, this book offers detailed insight into the philanthropic market place of the 19th century, in addition to a variety of eminent social issues – such as the cholera outbreaks of 1849 and 1866, the education of children and adults, and emergency appeals at home and overseas. The author demonstrates how instances of charitable action widely increased during Victorian Britain through comprehensive exploration of Jones-Loyd's philanthropy, Against the backdrop of a growing British economy, this volume analyses the events contributing to the establishment of the Charity Commission in 1853, in addition to the expansion of voluntary agencies and funds. Ultimately, Flew crafts a...

The Shakespeare Multiverse

Autor: Valerie M. Fazel , Louise Geddes

Número de Páginas: 254

The Shakespeare Multiverse: Fandom as Literary Praxis argues that fandom offers new models for a twenty-first century reading practice that embraces affective pleasure and subjective self-positioning as a means of understanding a text. Part critical study, part source book, The Shakespeare Multiverse suggests that fannish contributions to the ongoing expansion of the object that we call Shakespeare is best imagined as a multiverse, encompassing different worlds that consolidate the various perspectives that different fans bring to Shakespeare. Our concept of the multiverse redefines ‘Shakespeare’ not as a singular body of work, but as space where a process of inquiry and cultural memory – memories in the making, and those already made – is influenced and shaped by the technologies available to the reader. Characteristic of fandom is an intertextual reading strategy that we term cyborg reading, an approach that accommodates the varied elements of identity, politics, culture, sexuality, and race that shape the ways that Shakespeare is explored and appropriated throughout fannish reading communities. The Shakespeare Multiverse intersects literary theory, fan studies, and...

Henry James and the Abuse of the Past

Autor: P. Rawlings

Número de Páginas: 245

Henry James and the Abuse of the Past explores the complex uses to which James puts his oblique experience of the American Civil War. Why does James use and abuse the past by fabricating and distorting people and events in his autobiographical work? The study integrates four elements: history, the past and problems of narration and representation; the homoerotics of the Civil war tales and other soldiering fiction; a life-long pre-occupation with Shakespeare as a historical figure; and theories of time as they come under the pressure of trauma and war. This well-written, insightful and persuasive study is an important contribution to James scholarship and will be of interest to any students and scholars of James
