I. 20Th-C. LITERATURE I. 20 th -C. L ITERATURE . ASBURY, Herbert . Typescript of “An Infernal Triangle: A Travesty in One Act ”. Typescript with some autograph cor - rections in ink and stage directions in pencil; 20 ff. 4to, [New York]: 1917. Maroon wrappers, yapp edges worn; two brass fasteners; vertical crease through all leaves. $500 A very early, unpublished drama by Asbury (1889-1963), author of Gangs of New York (1928) and other popular true-crime histories. An Infernal Triangle was written when Asbury was a staff reporter for the New York Sun , and pre - cedes his first published book, Up From Methodism (1926), by nine years. An Infernal Triangle has many of the elements that Asbury would explore in his mature work — corruption, vice, hypocrisy, greed, gambling — but is styl - istically afield from his later work. Cuckold Aloysius H. McSweeney, catching his wife in the arms of another man, Ambrose Klutz, the Duke de Hangdog, attempts to take his revenge with an air rifle. His wife protests that she will consent to murder only if a suitable undertaker is engaged, and suggests her brother Cecil (from whom Mrs. McSweeney will receive a kickback). Along with the absurdist touch - es — including a failed venture to export suspenders to Africa (where pants aren’t worn), and an inheritance of three potatoes — are the petty bicker - ings and pointed barbs of a very real dysfunctional marriage. A curious and unique item. . BALDWIN, James . If Beale Street Could talk . 197 pp. 8vo, New York: The Dial Press, 1974. Third Printing.

  • Jack the Ripper: the Divided Self and the Alien Other in Late-Victorian Culture and Society
    Jack the Ripper: The Divided Self and the Alien Other in Late-Victorian Culture and Society Michael Plater Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 18 July 2018 Faculty of Arts The University of Melbourne ii ABSTRACT This thesis examines late nineteenth-century public and media representations of the infamous “Jack the Ripper” murders of 1888. Focusing on two of the most popular theories of the day – Jack as exotic “alien” foreigner and Jack as divided British “gentleman” – it contends that these representations drew upon a series of emergent social and cultural anxieties in relation to notions of the “self” and the “other.” Examining the widespread contention that “no Englishman” could have committed the crimes, it explores late-Victorian conceptions of Englishness and documents the way in which the Ripper crimes represented a threat to these dominant notions of British identity and masculinity. In doing so, it argues that late-Victorian fears of the external, foreign “other” ultimately masked deeper anxieties relating to the hidden, unconscious, instinctual self and the “other within.” Moreover, it reveals how these psychological concerns were connected to emergent social anxieties regarding degeneration, atavism and the “beast in man.” As such, it evaluates the wider psychological and sociological impact of the case, arguing that the crimes revealed the deep sense of fracture, duality and instability that lay beneath the surface of late-Victorian English life, undermining and challenging dominant notions of progress, civilisation and social advancement. Situating the Ripper narrative within a broader framework of late-nineteenth century cultural uncertainty and crisis, it therefore argues that the crimes (and, more specifically, populist perceptions of these crimes) represented a key defining moment in British history, serving to condense and consolidate a whole series of late-Victorian fears in relation to selfhood and identity.

  • James Fenimore Cooper and the Genteel Hero of Romance
    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

Introduction My father, a pipe smoker, was an unliterary man. And yet he loved books. He had an extraordinarily fine collection of antiquarian editions on Brazil. But I never saw him reading any of them and the only writing of his own that survives are his meticulous account books and a dry-as-dust book on how to set up a company in Brazil. We never tried to persuade him to write a memoir of his life – I think we knew that he wouldn’t have done so, for his Irishness was of a rather puritan kind and, despite an interesting life, he was not a man to talk about it or to see it in a wider perspective.
