The Burden of Black Religion
ISBN: 9780195328189 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 392 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (dostawa w 2025) Religion has always been a focal element in the long and tortured history of American ideas about race. In The Burden of Black Religion, Curtis Evans traces ideas about African American religion from the antebellum period to the middle of the twentieth century. Central to the story, he argues, was the deep-rooted notion that blacks were somehow "naturally" religious. At first, this assumed natural impulse toward religion served as a signal trait of black people's humanity -- potentially their unique contribution to American culture. Abolitionists seized on this point, linking...

Murder in the Closet: Essays on Queer Clues in Crime Fiction Before Stonewall
ISBN: 9780786499922 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Before the 1969 Stonewall Riots, LGBTQ life was dominated by the negative image of the closet the metaphorical space where that which was deemed queer was hidden from a hostile public view. Literary studies of queer themes and characters in crime fiction have tended to focus on the more positive and explicit representations since the riots, while pre Stonewall works are thought to reference queer only negatively or obliquely. This collection of new essays questions that view with an investigation of queer aspects in crime fiction published over eight decades, from the corseted Victorian era...

ISBN: 9780807156810 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 370 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The Conquest of Labor offers the first biography of Daniel Pratt (1799-1873), a New Hampshire native who became one of the South's most important industrialists. After moving to Alabama in 1833, Pratt started a cotton gin factory near Montgomery that by the eve of the Civil War had become the largest in the world. Pratt became a household name in cotton-growing states, and Prattville-the site of his operations-one of the antebellum South's most celebrated manufacturing towns.
Based on a rich cache of personal and business records, Curtis J. Evans's study of Daniel Pratt and his "Yankee"... The Conquest of Labor offers the first biography of Daniel Pratt (1799-1873), a New Hampshire native who became one of the South's most important indu...

Masters of the Humdrum Mystery: Cecil John Charles Street, Freeman Wills Crofts, Alfred Walter Stewart and the British Detective Novel, 1920-1961
ISBN: 9780786470242 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 309 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In 1972, in an attempt to elevate the stature of the "crime novel," influential crime writer and critic Julian Symons cast numerous Golden Age detective fiction writers into literary perdition as "Humdrums," condemning their focus on puzzle plots over stylish writing and explorations of character, setting and theme. This volume explores the works of three prominent British "Humdrums"--Cecil John Charles Street, Freeman Wills Crofts, and Alfred Walter Stewart--revealing their work to be more complex, as puzzles and as social documents, than Symons allowed. By championing the intrinsic merit of...

The Spectrum of English Murder: The Detective Fiction of Henry Lancelot Aubrey-Fletcher and G. D. H. and Margaret Cole
ISBN: 9781616462970 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. That British mysteries from the Golden Age of detective fiction (customarily defined as the period between the First and Second World Wars) were not only aesthetically but ideologically conservative has long been a commonplace of mystery genre criticism. In The Spectrum of English Murder, Curtis Evans challenges this view by looking at the detective fiction of Henry Lancelot Aubrey-Fletcher and G. D. H. and Margaret Cole, a trio of popular British crime writers from the Golden Age. Although Aubrey-Fletcher, a Great War veteran and member of his country's traditional gentry elite, and the...
