  • The Ghost of Nancy Drew
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Iowa Research Online The Ghost of Nancy Drew GEOFFREY S. LAPIN "It would be a shame if all that money went to the Tophams! They will fly higher than ever!" Thus begins the first book in a series of titles that has whetted the literary appetites of young readers for well over fifty years. The Secret of the Old Clock by Carolyn Keene was to set the tone of juvenile adventure stories that is still leading young folks into the joys of reading the standard classics of literature. Carolyn Keene has been writing the series books chronicling the adventures of Nancy Drew and the Dana Girls since 1929. With over 175 titles published, the author is still going strong, presently producing over fifteen new books each year. Her titles have been translated into at least twelve different lan­ guages, and sales records state that the volumes sold number in the hundreds of millions. More than the mystery of the endurance of such unlikely literature is the question of who Carolyn Keene is and how one person could possibly be the author of such a record number of "best-sellers." Numerous literary histories offer conflicting information concerning the life of Ms Keene. The one common fact is that there exists no actual person by that name. Carolyn Keene is a pseudonym for the author of the series books. Carolyn Keene was Edward Stratemeyer. Another source says that she was Harriet Adams. Yet others say that she was Edna Squire, Walter Karig, James Duncan Lawrence, Nancy Axelrad, Margaret Scherf, Grace Grote, and a plethora of others.

  • A List of English & American Sequel Stories
    9lOo. UC-NRLF B ^ bi3 aia A LIST OF ENGLISH & AMERICAN SEQUEL STORIES ^' Compiled by THOMAS ALDRED PUBLISHED BY THE LIBRARY ASSISTANTS* ASSOCIATION 1922 ^rice 6s. net ~ 9 ^ m A LIST OF ENGLISH & AMERICAN EQUEL STORIES Compiled by THOMAS ALDRED PUBLISHED BY THE LIBRARY ASSISTANTS' ASSOCIATION 1922 London : Tbuslove and Bbay. Ltd., Printers, West Norwood, S.E. 27. PREFACE Many years ago I compiled a comparatively short list of sequel stories for staff reference purposes, and the list was subsequently published in The Library World (1900-1). Several librarians who found the old list useful have asked me at various times to bring it up-to-date, and I have at last found leisure to accede to the request and to add a large number of stories not listed in the original list. In order to serve useful purposes I have included (a) Stories in which the same character appears in more than one book ; (h) Series forming a continuous narrative of events ; (c) Trilogies and the like ; (d) A few other notes. The material has been drawn from very many sources, some being of doubtful reliability, and in the absence of other data has had to be used without confirmation. It is probable that there are some errors of commission and, on account of the difficulty of obtaining information of sequence-stories, many more of omission. I should therefore be glad if corrections and notes of additions were sent to me direct. To keep down the cost of printing, initials only are given of fore-names ; dates of publication and names of publishers are omitted for the same season.

  • Always Look on the Bright Side of Death Violence, Death, and Supernatural Transformation in Ovid’S Fasti
    ALWAYS LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE OF DEATH VIOLENCE, DEATH, AND SUPERNATURAL TRANSFORMATION IN OVID’S FASTI A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY ANNA EVERETT BEEK IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY CHRISTOPHER NAPPA, ADVISER FEBRUARY, 2015 copyright 2015 Anna Everett Beek ABSTRACT Ovid’s Fasti, in its elaboration of mythic stories and the aetia of Roman religious practices, exhibits a marked correlation between violence and supernatural transformation: people who experience acts of intense violence such as rape, assault, and bodily mutilation are transformed by the experience into gods or other supernatural beings. In fact, within the Fasti, nearly all apotheoses have an episode of violence as a catalyst, and moreover nearly all violence results in transformation. Although rape (and some other forms of violence) in the Fasti has been examined extensively by other scholars, previous studies have focused on the perpetration of violence, while this dissertation examines the consequences of the event, how the victims fail to re-integrate to society and are removed by being ostracized, exiled, killed, transformed, or even apotheosed because a return to their former lives is impossible. Some of the prominent examples treated are Romulus, Anna Perenna, Ino, Callisto, and Lara. Special attention is paid to how this overarching pattern differentiates the Fasti from Ovid’s best known collection of mythic transformation stories, the Metamorphoses. The Metamorphoses does provide several episodes of apotheosis (such as those of Hercules, Aeneas, Romulus, and Julius Caesar), and those episodes share certain structural elements that recur in similar episodes in the Fasti: in many cases, the character in question is put in life-threatening danger, which is averted at the last minute by divine intervention and transformation into divinity.

  • Heroes and Monsters Heroes and Monsters
    HEROES AND MONSTERS EXPLOITS OF PERSEUS TO THE DEATH OF HERCULES HEROES AND MONSTERS – SUMMARY Greek folklore only begins with the stories of the Greek Gods. The second category of Greek mythology involves human, or semi-human heroes, and a spectacular array of monsters and villains. These hero legends are often associated a specific town or region and may have been loosely based on historical characters, since the aristocratic classes in many Greek cities claimed descent from them. The four most important Greek heroes are Perseus, Jason and the Argonauts, Theseus, and Hercules. There are elaborate stories detailing the exploits of the four heroes mentioned above, most of which involve fending off some of the most creatively horrible monsters ever imagined. Perseus, for example, needed to capture the head of Medusa, a snake-haired gorgon whose horribly ugly visage turned men instantly into stone. Theseus, a prince of Athens, is most famous for killing the Minotaur, a man-eating half-man, and half-bull, responsible for the deaths of hundreds of young Athenian. Jason and the Argonauts met with dozens of adventures on their voyage, including run-ins with fire-breathing bulls, bronze giants wielding gigantic boulders, flying witches who stole food from sailors' mouths, bewitching maidens who lured soldiers to their death, a sorceress who turned men into animals and a sea-monster who sucked ships into a giant whirlpool. And all of the monsters so far discussed are just a PERSEUS AND THE GORGONS prelude to the amazing creatures that contended with Hercules, the greatest of the Greek heroes.

    THE SECRET OF THE OLD BOOKS by David M. Baumann A Reflection on the Value and Enjoyment of Series Books 1997 Published in an earlier version of 4,480 words in Dime Novel Roundup, Vol. 67, No. 6, December 1998; later expanded to 4,874 words and posted on my website on the X Bar X Boys http://home.pacbell.net/dbaumann/ There was no sign of hidden loot. “It must be here somewhere!” declared Joe doggedly. “He wouldn’t leave it out in the open. Probably it’s in behind all this junk.” Frank held the match. They had to be careful, for the place was as dry as tinder and any negligence might have made the whole place a mass of flame from which there would have been no escape. ... In a neat little hiding place ... lay a bag. It was an ordinary gunny sack, but when Joe dragged it forth he knew at once that their search had ended. “We’ve found it!” he exulted. “The Tower treasure!” (from The Tower Treasure, 1927) It is a Friday morning in autumn. I am sitting at a small round table at Sharon’s Bakery in Yorba Linda, California, a bagel with cream cheese and a small decaffeinated coffee in front of me as the bright but not overwarm sunlight comes through the plate glass window and illuminates the book I am reading. Although I am fifty years old, I am exulting with Frank and Joe Hardy as they reach the climactic moment of The Hardy Boys: The Tower Treasure.
