Pioneers, Passionate Ladies, and Private Eyes by Larry E Sullivan,Lydia C Schurman Pdf

Despite efforts of contemporary reformers to curb the availability of dime novels, series books, and paperbacks, Pioneers, Passionate Ladies, and Private Eyes reveals how many readers used them as means of resistance and how fictional characters became models for self-empowerment. These literary genres, whose value has long been underestimated, provide fascinating insight into the formation of American popular culture and identity. Through these mass-produced, widely read books, Deadwood Dick, Old Sleuth, and Jessie James became popular heroes that fed the public’s imagination for the last western frontier, detective tales, and the myth of the outlaw. Women, particularly those who were poor and endured hard lives, used the literature as means of escape from the social, economic, and cultural suppression they experienced in the nineteenth century. In addition to the insight this book provides into texts such as “The Bride of the Tomb,” the Nick Carter Series, and Edward Stratemeyer’s rendition of the Lizzie Borden case, readers will find interesting information about: the roles of illustrations and covers in consumer culture Bowling Green’s endeavor to digitize paperback and pulp magazine covers bibliographical problems in collecting and controlling series books the effects of mass market fiction on young girls Louisa May Alcott’s pseudonym and authorship of three dime novels special collections competition among publishers A collection of work presented at a symposium held by the Library of Congress, Pioneers, Passionate Ladies, and Private Eyes makes an outstanding contribution to redefining the role of popular fiction in American life.

The Cover Girl Killer by Richard A. Lupoff Pdf

Who WAS that gorgeous model? When a helicopter loses power and plunges into the icy waters of scenic Lake Tahoe, killing its only passenger, millionaire Albert Crocker Vansittart, what looks like a routine claim against a life insurance policy turns into a mystery for investigator Hobart Lindsey and his sometime collaborator Marvia Plum. The reason: half a century ago, the youthful Vansittart had come across a hardboiled mystery novel and become obsessed with the glamorous model who'd posed for the cover painting. Now, Vansittart's multimillion dollar policy is to go to "the girl on the cover of Death in the Ditch." Lindsey's pursuit of the now-aged model (if she's even still alive!) leads him into a maze of violence and deception with its roots in the politics and wars of past decades. Another first-rate combination of crime, collectibles, and American history--and the fifth book in this bestselling series!

Elizabeth Lee Beck, high-profile lawyer who deposed Donald Trump From If the First Lady Hired Me... I can't predict where their marriage goes from here.

Bringing War to Book by Rachel Woodward,K. Neil Jenkings Pdf

This book explores how military memoirs come to be written and published. Looking at the journeys through which soldiers and other military personnel become writers, the authors draw on over 250 military memoirs published since 1980 about service with the British armed forces, and on interviews with published military memoirists who talk in detail about the writing and production of their books. A range of themes are explored including: the nature of the military memoir; motivations for writing; authors’ reflections on their readerships; inclusions and exclusions within the text; the memories and materials that authors draw on; the collaborations that make the production and publication of military memoirs possible; and the issues around the design of military memoirs' distinctive covers. Written by two leading commentators on the sociology of the military, Bringing War to Book offers a new and original argument about the representations of war and the military experience as a process of social production. The book will be of interest to students and scholars across a range of disciplines including sociology, history, and cultural studies.

Night Cover by Michael Z. Lewin Pdf

When the sun goes down, all bets are off in this gritty, “exhilaratingly alive” crime novel from the author of the celebrated Albert Samson mysteries (The New Yorker). Two decades on the Night Cover for the Indianapolis PD can wear a cop down. For Lt. Leroy Powder, the difference between right and wrong has gotten as murky as the coffee that gets him through the night. Burglaries, nickel-and-dime drug deals gone haywire, punks being punks, even a bomb scare—it all comes with the territory. But at the end of a particularly grueling shift, Lieutenant Powder gets a call from an informant who claims he’s found a dead body. Turns out Johnny Uncle was telling the truth. Beyond that the facts get shaky. Besides the victim’s obvious lack of breathing, the only other certainty is that the hands were sledgehammered postmortem to prevent identification. Lieutenant Powder has seen his share of by-the-book murders. But something tells the grizzled veteran there’s a killer going way off script. And that the story has just begun—and that the night is far from over. Night Cover is the 1st book in the Lt. Leroy Powder Novels, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.

Find Me My Enemies & Cover Story by Michael Wilding Pdf

In one bumper volume, two new Plant novels! Find Me My Enemies Is James Slater really a target of a security service operation against old radicals, or is he just paranoid? Or both? Is his performance artist partner part of the plot? Or his Valley of the Weed girlfriend? Cover Story ‘Someone’s trying to burn me down,’ Paige Turner publisher tells Plant. Or are they just setting fire to a stack of Illiberal Liberals? And how do Turner’s regular trips to India, Asia and the Middle East fit in, if at all? ‘Keep Plant coming.’ David Williamson ‘The Plant novels … are hybrids of satire and crime fiction, too funny to be called bleak, but concealing a complex seriousness of purpose.’ Kerryn Goldsworthy, The Age ‘Plant grows on you.’ Stephen Knight ‘A protagonist who surely will be back.’ Emma Young, Sydney Morning Herald ‘Plant investigates not the petty individual crimes like kidnapping, murder or extortion, but the big picture – the intellectual and political follies of the age … the unstable underpinning of modern industrialized society is laid bare. And made hilariously funny.’ Peter Corris
