Humanities & Social SciencesJune 2024At home with the poor
Consumer behaviour and material culture in England, c. 1650-1850
by Joseph Harley
This book opens the doors to the homes of the forgotten poor and traces the goods they owned before, during and after the industrial revolution (c. 1650-1850). Using a vast and diverse range of sources, it gets to the very heart of what it meant to be 'poor' by examining the homes of the impoverished and mapping how numerous household goods became more widespread. As the book argues, poverty did not necessarily equate to owning very little and living in squalor. In fact, its novel findings show that most of the poor strove to improve their domestic spheres and that their demand for goods was so great that it was a driving force of the industrial revolution.

Literary studies: c 1500 to c 1800August 2004King Lear
Second edition
by Alexander Leggatt
This updated and expanded analysis of King Lear in performance includes new chapters on the television version of the Royal National Theatre production directed by Richard Eyre and starring Ian Holm; and on Akira Kurosawa's 'Ran'. Earlier chapters provide close, detailed analyses of the stage, film and television interpretations of John Gielgud, Harley Granville Barker, Paul Scofield, Peter Brook, Peter Ustinov, Michael Gambon, Adrian Noble, Grigori Kozintsev, Michael Hordern, Jonathan Miller, Laurence Olivier and Michael Elliott. By examining such issues as the playing of Lear, the staging of the storm and the battle, and the choice of historical period, this book shows how interpretation and performance are bound together, and how the play is transformed through different historical and political contexts. This will be essential reading for students in English, drama or film at any level, theatregoers, and anyone involved in productions of the play.

The ArtsSeptember 2016Marcantonio Raimondi, Raphael and the image multiplied
by Edward H. Wouk, Leslie A. Geddes, Jun Nakamura, Lisa Pon, David Morris, Edward H. Wouk, Henri Zerner, Tatiana Bissolati, Guido Rebecchini, Kathleen Christian, Paul Joannides, Bryony Bartlett-Rawlings, Beverly Louise Brown, Patricia Emison, Catherine Jenkins, Madeleine Viljoen, Sarah Vowles, Jamie Gabbarelli, Peter Black, Barbara Furlotti, Steven Milner, Jenny Spinks, Rheagan E. Martin, Sophie Gordon Cumming, Imogen Harley, Jemima Rose, Heather Garner, Max Weaver, Albert Lindsell, Peter Hayes, Monique Nievas, Holly Smallbone, James Wildgoose
Best known for his partnership with Raphael, the engraver Marcantonio Raimondi (c. 1480-c. 1534) enabled Renaissance artists to disseminate their designs in print, advancing a revolution in visual communication that still reverberates in our own information age. Yet Marcantonio did more than render compositions by famous artists in the novel medium of engraving. The entries and essays in this catalogue, written by a group of international scholars and published to accompany the first exhibition of Marcantonio's work in over three decades, reveal the diversity of Marcantonio's oeuvre and the scope of his innovation as the leading printmaker of the Italian Renaissance. In-depth studies of Marcantonio's engravings expand our knowledge of his collaboration with Raphael, while also probing Marcantonio's creative response to the dynamic humanist culture in his native Bologna and later in Venice and Rome. Contributions also examine engravings by Marcantonio's 'followers' and consider the importance of his work to the history of print collecting.

March 2012Harley Rushes In
by Virginia Brown
Local Tour Guide Breaks Jewelry Theft Ring and Helps Crack Murder Case, read the large headline. The leading sentence in the article said so much less than had really happened: Harley Jean Davidson, 27, tour guide for Memphis Tour Tyme, had a narrow escape from jewelry thieves Friday night that ended with an arrest on charges of grand larceny, attempted murder, and two counts of murder. Ms. Davidson was instrumental in capturing the suspect . . . In Hound Dog Blues, Harley Jean proved that a Gen X slacker can kick butt along with the rest of the crime-solving gurus. Now she’s up to her handlebars in mystery again. Her Aunt Darcy, an interior designer, needs Harley's help catching a smuggler of prized artifacts. When Harley finds Aunt Darcy's suspicious business partner hanging off her shop's elk antlers, Harley can't help but wonder if Aunt Darcy murdered him. Soon Harley's already quirky life spins way off the Normal Meter again, with another corpse in the mix, an assault by cranky farm animals, a kidnapping attempt, and surprise assistance from a temperamental Siamese cat. Add hunky detective Mike Morgan to the trouble, plus the usual collection of Elvis impersonators, psychics and unpredictable relatives. The city of the blues, the King and the mighty Mississippi is about to get steamy. The jailhouse will rock, someone may get caught in a trap, and Harley's in the middle of it all-taking care of business. Maybe she was in mid-life crisis. Only four more months and she’d only be three years away from thirty, and here she was with just one serious relationship behind her—two if she wanted to count George Goldfish, now freed in the Audubon Park koi pond. Of course, her on and off relationship with Bobby Baroni through the years had been more friendship than anything serious, despite the fact they’d tried out the physical stuff a long time ago. She loved Bobby, but only as a friend. Besides, he was dating an exotic dancer at the moment, a really hot blonde who went by the name of Angel. And she had Mike Morgan. A shiver dispelled some of the heat inside the car. Oh yes. He was definitely a distraction. A hold-on-to-your-panties-this-is-gonna-be-good kind of distraction. He made her want to swear off panties altogether. Why did she have to go and get sidetracked by an undercover cop? Harley made one last trip to the nightclub’s bathroom. One glance in the bathroom mirror was enough to convince her that four beers were past her limit. She looked like something out of Fright Night. Suddenly, the bathroom light went out. “Hey! I’m still in here!” She fumbled with the latch on the stall door, then eased out and felt her way along the tiled wall. She bumped into the sink and ricocheted off the opposite wall. Swearing loudly, she wrenched open the bathroom door and ran right into a solid wall of muscle. A smelly bag was yanked over her head and her arms were pinned in a viselike grip as she was dragged down the hallway and out into the alley. Whoever had her was trying to force her into a car, and she was just as determined not to go. Somehow, she got her legs up with one foot braced on each side of the open door. She blindly grabbed for a handful of his clothes to pull him off balance. He made a high-pitched sound like a loose fan belt and dropped her. His family jewels were probably missing a few stones by now. She crawled away and stumbled to her feet, ripping the bag from her head to yell for help. That was when someone smacked her on the side of the head and she saw stars explode in front of her eyes. She hit the ground in the alley hard. Unable to move, she just lay there staring up at the stars. Then someone bent over her, squeezing her cheeks together and peering into her eyes. “Hey, are you all right? Talk to me, honey. Focus . . . that’s right, both eyes looking in the same direction at once, now.” A face slowly came into focus. She blinked. Diana Ross? “Why’d you break up the Supremes?” Diana laughed and said to someone else nearby, “She’s coming around. She’s just not making much sense yet.” “Trust me, she doesn’t make much sense when she hasn’t been hit in the head,” a familiar voice said. “I’ve never met anyone who can’t even go to the bathroom without getting into some kind of trouble.” That would be Morgan, Harley thought hazily. He sounds upset. Virginia Brown is the author of more than fifty novels, most recently the bestselling Dixie Diva Mysteries and the acclaimed mystery/drama, Dark River Road.

Things can only get worse, and she ought to heed the demands of her hunky police boyfriend, Mike Morgan, who’s really worried. Even the guests at a local Halloween party start to look like suspects. Maybe the guy dressed up as Jay-Z is out to get her. Or one of the Kardashian sisters.

July 2012Suspicious Mimes
by Virginia Brown
Maybe Harley Jean Davidson should have finished college, but at the time it hadn’t seemed nearly as important as it did now. She should have stayed in corporate banking. She should have settled down with Mr. Right instead of dallying with Mr. Right Now—irresistible Memphis detective Mike Morgan. It was time to put her shallow youth behind her. She was closing in on thirty, entering the halls of maturity, and proving that she has a talent for catching bad guys. Things could be worse. Much worse. Her job as a Memphis tour guide is about to get even stranger than usual. "Hey," she called, "last stop for all Elvi. This is it, sir. Sir?" He didn't respond, just remained in his seat on the bus, staring out the window. Maybe he'd gotten cold feet about the Elvis contest. With a sigh, Harley walked to the back. "Hey, buddy," she said when she reached his seat, "we're here. Time to go on stage and sing your heart out. Knock 'em dead." When he still didn't respond, Harley put a hand on his shoulder to give him a slight shake. He slumped forward, his head hit the back of the seat in front of him, and she jumped into the aisle. The hilt of a knife protruded from his back. She froze. This couldn't be happening. Not to him, not to her, again. She leaned closer, and the rusty smell of blood made her stomach lurch. Backing slowly away, she fumbled at her waist for the cell phone that she now kept tethered to her with a chain, and hit speed dial. The police dispatcher answered quickly. "Nine-one-one?" Harley said in a voice that sounded a lot calmer than she felt. "We have another dead Elvis." Will her talent (jinx?) for stumbling into crime scenes eighty-six her relationship with Mike? Was he working up to a break up or just still upset about the dead Elvis in her van? Only one way to find out. “So,” she said when she put the heated plate of fried rice and egg rolls in front of him, “is this a break up?” He gave her a startled look. “What are you talking about?” “Me finding bodies. You not liking that. Us. Maybe we need to talk about it.” “Yeah. Well. I’m not really good at that kind of conversation.” “Me either.” She sat down in the chair opposite him, and Sam immediately jumped up on the cushioned arm to sniff her plate. He purred. Little beggar. She gave him a piece of rice and he gave her a horrified look. Then he leaped down to cross to Morgan, who had chicken fried rice. Morgan obliged the cat with a piece of chicken, and then looked over at Harley. “Maybe we just need a break from each other. Just for a couple weeks or a month. Something like that. Give us time to think about . . . things.” Her throat got tight, but she nodded casually. “I think you’re right. I don’t want you to feel like I’m jeopardizing your job, and lately I can’t seem to stop tripping over bodies. I don’t know what it is. Some kind of murder magnet, I guess.” One corner of his mouth tucked into a wry smile. “Any chance you can get rid of it?” Virginia Brown is the author of more than fifty novels, most recently the bestselling Dixie Diva Mysteries and the acclaimed mystery/drama, Dark River Road.

Crime & mysteryFebruary 2012Hound Dog Blues
by Virginia Brown
Who says a Gen X hipster can’t solve old-school mysteries? Harley Jean’s a failed college student. Her brief career in corporate banking went up in flames. She can’t find Mr. Right and might settle for Mr. Wrong. She’s twenty-six-years old—staring down the barrel at thirty—and now she works as a tour guide in the whacko land of Elvis. She’s named after a motorcycle. Her dad’s an Elvis impersonator. Her Mom talks to spirit guides. Someone kidnaps her family’s dog—named King, in Elvis’s honor. There’s a ransom note. And then, things really get weird. Memphis tour guide Harley Jean Davidson is about to enjoy a rare day off when her parents call with news that King, their border collie, has been dognapped. Harley Jean’s mom insists the culprit is Bruno Jett, their next door neighbor. Harley Jean would rather run over her own foot with a motorcycle than talk to him. He’s drop-dead gorgeous—with a dangerous attitude she’d like to avoid. But King has to be rescued, so she sets off to find him. Harley Jean gets more than she bargains for when she finds a body, as well. Bruno Jett is definitely involved, but how? The Memphis P.D. wants to pin the murder on Harley Jean’s dad. Now it’s up to her to clear his name . . . and avoid becoming the killer’s next victim. Leaving corporate banking for a job free of stress had been a matter of survival. So here she was, in her late twenties and burned out, but finally in a job she didn’t have to take home with her at night. It was a good trade-off—most of the time. At least, when she didn’t have to deal with a very sexy possible murderer . . . The basement door opened. Looking up, she saw Jett through the cracks in the wooden stairs. For a moment he just stood on the top step, the door propped open with his foot, then he let it close softly behind him but remained still and silent. He knew someone was here. The lights . . . she’d left the lights on. She barely breathed, just shallow breaths to keep from passing out, afraid he’d hear her. Bruno Magli shoes descended to the second riser. She briefly closed her eyes, thoughts of O.J. and his infamous shoes reverberating ominously in her brain. Surely, it was coincidence. The shoes descended another step, then another, and she held her breath until her ears rang and her lungs ached. The shoes stopped on the second from the bottom stair. She saw denim though the gaps, dark socks, long legs—she looked up and her gaze locked with dark blue eyes peering at her through the risers. Oh damn. He smiled, but it wasn’t a very nice smile. “Well,” he said, “I seem to have an uninvited visitor.” “I . . . uh, was just looking for you.” “And now you’ve found me.” He reached the floor and turned to look at her where she’d edged out from beneath the stairs to feel for an escape route in the concrete block walls. “Why yes,” she said, aware she spoke too brightly, “here you are. Now that you’re home, I’ll just be going.” “No, I don’t think so.” He moved a few steps closer, near enough she could see the cold, dangerous gleam in his eyes. Uh oh. “Oh, I don’t mind,” she said, “really. I think I hear my mother calling me.”’ “They’re not home.” She stared at him suspiciously. “And how do you know that?” “Because that obscene, puke green van is gone from the driveway.” “Oh.” That sounded logical. After all, it had been Bobby’s first clue. So maybe Jett hadn’t done anything to them or was responsible for them leaving. Maybe. He loomed over her. “I don’t like you being here, and I don’t like my privacy violated. Usually, I tend to get nasty about things like this.” Uh oh. Not at all a promising conversation. Virginia Brown is the author of more than fifty novels, most recently the bestselling Dixie Diva Mysteries and the acclaimed mystery/drama, Dark River Road.

FictionApril 2020Raphaels Rückkehr
Krimi
by Barbara E. Euler
„Raphaels Rückkehr“ (Krimi, ca. 460 000 Anschl.) Brügge, Sommer 2015. Nach drei Jahren Rehabilitation kehrt Hauptinspektor Raphael Rozenblad an seinen Arbeitsplatz bei der Ortspolizei im flämischen Brügge zurück – und wird sogleich wieder mit dem Fall konfrontiert, der ihn 2012 seine Beine und fast auch sein Leben gekostet hatte: Er hatte einen Lkw mit Flüchtlingen gestoppt und war mit seiner Harley unter den Zwanzigtonner geraten. Jetzt sitzt er im Rollstuhl. Kurz nach Raphaels Auftauchen wird einer der Flüchtlinge von damals ermordet. Bald verdächtigt der Hauptinspektor neben dem alkoholkranken Sternekoch, in dessen Küche der Mord geschah, auch Leute aus den eigenen Reihen, insbesondere Dienststellenleiter Dovenhof und Hauptinspektorin Vandamme. Schnell bröckelt der ohnehin schwache Rückhalt, den der ruppige, tablettensüchtige Rollstuhlfahrer in der Dienststelle hat. Er traut niemandem mehr, selbst nicht der aufrechten Kollegin Anna und schon gar nicht Azif, einem Flüchtling von damals, der jetzt als verdeckter Ermittler für die Bundespolizei einem internationalen Menschenschmugglerring hinterherjagt und Raphael als Verbündeten gewinnen möchte. Als die beiden endlich gemeinsame Sache machen, gehen die Ermittlungen voran und Vandamme entpuppt sich als Dovenhofs Komplizin. Aber ein zweiter Flüchtling wird ermordet. Raphael hält beide Mordwaffen für abgeschliffene Armbrustpfeile, behält das aber für sich, um nicht für noch verrückter gehalten zu werden. Ein Treffen zwischen Azif und einem Mittelsmann, der dem Koch Asylbewerber als willige und billige Arbeitskräfte zuführt, endet in einer Verfolgungsjagd durch die mittelalterliche Stadt, an deren Ende Azif durch den Mittelsmann schwer verletzt wird und dieser sich als ein enger Kollege von Raphael entpuppt. Bei seiner Befragung wird deutlich: Der Chef der Dienststelle ist selbst prominent am Menschenhandel beteiligt. Vandamme sagt aus, dass er sie zur Mittäterschaft angestiftet hat. Ehe Dovenhof selber befragt werden kann, wird er angeschossen, mit einer Armbrust. Jetzt erzählt Raphael seinem Vorgesetzten Piet, dass er auch die Mordwaffen für Armbrustpfeile hielt. Piet sagt daraufhin, dass der Sternekoch Mitglied in einer Armbrustschützengilde ist. Der Koch wird sofort verhaftet. Dabei verletzt er Raphael jedoch lebensgefährlich. Hier endet die Erzählung. Im Nachspann wird kurz skizziert, dass Raphaels Kollegen gemeinsam mit dem genesenen Azif das Geflecht des Menschenschmugglerrings zu entwirren beginnen und der Mörder und die Schuldigen bei der Polizei und anderswo vor Gericht kommen. Ob Raphael überleben wird, bleibt offen. Herausstellungsmerkmal: Dieser Regionalkrimi spielt im flämischen Brügge, einem Tourismusmagneten, der nach dem Kinoerfolg „Brügge sehen und sterben“ endlich mal wieder krimitechnische Aufmerksamkeit in Deutschland verdient hat. Ein Extra-Pluspunkt sind die aktuellen Themen Inklusion, Diversity und Migration, die mit angenehmer Leichtigkeit und einladender Positivität in die Handlung verwoben sind. Lesergruppe: Frauen und Männer mit Spaß an leichter, spannender Lektüre mit ernstem Hintergrund, an Helden mit Ecken und Kanten und daran, ein beliebtes Reiseziel mal von einer ganz neuen Seite kennen zu lernen.

January 2014Dead in Boca
by Miriam Auerbach
Boca Raton. South Florida’s wealthy enclave of sand, surf, martinis, and murder . . . From high society “Boca Babe” to Harley-riding private eye, Harriet Horowitz has established her rep as a kick-ass P.I. with an insider’s connection to both the high life and the low life of Florida’s Palm Beach coast. Like “Junior” Castellano, a big-time land developer who hires Harriet to find the silver-haired gigolo who broke Mama Castellano’s heart, Harriet is practical when it comes to solving problems. Simple enough, until the Boca police find Junior bulldozed at one of his construction sites. Was Junior killed by his mother’s con man? Or by a bitter ex-wife or spurned ex-girlfriend? Maybe by his estranged sons? And what about the bartender at Hog Heaven, who was about to lose her home in a trailer park because of Junior’s latest land development deal? Harriet will do whatever it takes to protect others. Even if Junior Castellano’s enemy list is longer than the reservations at a Boca cocktail bar, and the scheme he was hatching was big enough to destroy the whole city. A hurricane is heading toward Boca. It should be named Harriet.

December 2020Heading Over The Hill
by Judy Leigh
Anyone can grow old disgracefully — and have a grand old time doing it. Sparkling humour with a streak of wisdom from an internationally acclaimed author. Billy and Dawnie may be in their seventies, but that won’t stop them taking chances or starting again. Their grown-up children have families and lives of their own, so now it’s Billy and Dawnie’s turn, and a life near the sea in Devon beckons. But the residents of Margot Street (or Maggot Street as Dawnie insists on calling it), don’t quite know what to make of their new neighbours. Billy’s loud, shiny and huge Harley Davidson looks out of place next to the Honda Jazz next door, and Dawnie’s never-ending range of outrageous wigs and colourful clothes, means she’s impossible to miss. As new friendships are formed and new adventures are shared, Billy and Dawnie start winning their neighbours’ affection. And when life teaches them all a terrible lesson, the folks of Margot Street are determined to live every day as if it’s their last. Judy Leigh returns with a soul-warming, rib-tickling, timeless tale of true love, true friendship and happy-ever-afters.
