KEENE, Carolyn KEENE, Carolyn Harriet Stratemeyer Adams Geboren: 1892. Overleden: 1982 Zoals veel juniorenmysteries, is de Nancy Drew-serie bedacht en werd (althans in het begin) de plot geschetst door Edward Stratemeyer [> Franklin W. Dixon] van het Stratemeyer Concern. Zijn dochter, Harriet Stratemeyer Adams nam later de uitgeverij over en claimde lange tijd de schrijver te zijn van àlle Nancy Drew-verhalen vanaf 1930 tot 1982. Onderzoek bracht aan het licht dat dit niet het geval was. De Nancy-verhalen werden, evenals andere Stratemeyer-series, geschreven door een aantal voorheen anonieme professionele schrijvers, waarvan de belangrijkste Mildred A. Wirt Benson (zie onder) was tot het moment dat Harriet Adams in 1953 (vanaf nummer 30) inderdaad begon met het schrijven van nieuwe delen en ook de oude delen vanaf 1959 reviseerde. Opmerkelijk en uniek is de zorgvuldigheid waarmee geprobeerd werd alle sporen omtrent de ‘echte’ auteurs uit te wissen. Byzantijnse plotten en samenzweringen werden gesmeed om veranderde copyrights; dossiers van The Library of Congress verdwenen en niet bestaande overheidsambtenaren werden opgevoerd om de namen van de ware schrijvers uit de boeken te laten verdwijnen.

Overleden: Toledo, Ohio, 28 mei 2002 Mildred Benson schreef de eerste 25 Nancy Drew-titels en nr 30 (uitgezonderd de nrs 8, 9 en 10) en schreef daarnaast nog vele andere juniorentitels, voornamelijk avonturen voor meisjes: Ruth Fielding (o.ps. Alice B. Emerson); Doris Force (o.ps. Julia K. Duncan); Madge Sterling (o.ps. Ann Wirt); Kay Tracey (o.ps. Frances K. Judd); Penny Nichols (o.ps. Joan Clark); Honey Bunch (o.ps. Helen Louis Thorndyke); Dot and Dash (o.ps. Dorothy West); Flash Evans (o.ps. Frank Bell); Boy Scout Explorers (o.ps. Don Palmer) De nrs 5 t/m 16 van The Dana Girls Mysteries worden eveneens aan Margaret Wirt toegeschreven. (foto: Fantastic Fiction) website: http://www.keeline.com/Ghostwriters.html en The Mildred A. Wirt Benson Website Detective: Nancy Drew Nancy behaalde haar diploma van de middelbare school toen ze 16 was (18 in de latere en gereviseerde delen), maar ging niet naar College. Nu en dan gaat ze wel naar een kunstcollege of gaat ze diepzeeduiken. Ze heeft meer dan genoeg tijd om te winkelen of thee te drinken met haar maatjes Bess Marvin (de dikke) en George Fayne (de robbedoes) om maar te zwijgen van haar vlam Ned Nickerson die op het Emerson College zit. Nancy werkt alleen wanneer zij undercover detectivewerk doet, waarbij de trouwe Hannah Gruen zorgt voor het huishouden. Toch schijnt ze altijd het laatste model sportwagen te hebben (een convertible in de gereviseerde en latere edities) en we weten hoe dat kan: haar liefhebbende vader Carson is een succesvol advokaat. Toen de serie in 1930 begon was Nancy de droom van elke ouder, maar aan het einde van de twintigste eeuw was ze meer een nachtmerrie, als ‘de dochter die maar niet wil vertrekken’. De plots zitten vol gaten, er zijn een aantal betreurenswaardige raciale stereotypes, vooral in de vroege boeken. En... het is echt waar: de heldin vertrouwt bijna uitsluitend op haar vrouwelijke intuïtie bij het oplossen van haar zaken! De nummering behoort bij de oorspronkelijke uitgaven; onder de titel wordt de ‘echte’ auteur vermeld: ‘ol’ betekent outline (opzet/hoofdlijn); ‘or’ betekent origineel; ‘rev’ betekent revised (herzien); vanaf nr 31 (behalve nr 32) werden alle titels volledig geschreven door Harriet S. Adams onder de naam Carolyn Keene. Nancy Drew Mystery Stories: 1. The Secret of the Old Clock ol: Edward Stratemeyer or: Mildred A. Wirt Benson 1930 rev: Harriet S. Adams (HSA) 1959 2.

  • Abstract MERRILL, ASHLEY CHRISTINE. the Evolution Of
    Abstract MERRILL, ASHLEY CHRISTINE. The Evolution of Nancy Drew, Cultural Icon: Readers, Writers, and Fanfiction Authors. (Under the direction of Mary Helen Thuente.) Nancy Drew is widely recognized as an influential American cultural icon. In this paper I make a detailed examination of Nancy's initial characterization as girl sleuth in the first ten books of the Nancy Drew Mystery Stories, published in the 1930s. I spend another chapter examining the initial volumes of later Nancy Drew series books, specifically the 1960s rewritten texts, the 1980s-90s Nancy Drew Files series, and the contemporary Girl Detective series. My penultimate chapter discusses Nancy Drew as realized in fanfiction, or stories written by readers and fans. My emphasis is on explaining Nancy's appeal as a cultural icon and the ways fanfiction authors reinvent and appropriate that icon for their own purposes in stories. To this end I cite fanfic writers and readers' response to why they read and write Nancy Drew fanfiction, and I analyze the content and function of a sample of stories written by Nancy Drew fans. I conclude that Nancy's appeal and the basis of her status as cultural icon is due to her unique nature as a figure frozen in transition between adolescence and adulthood, along with her more conventionally admirable traits. Her Everygirl appearance when removed from that unique matrix makes her extremely adaptable to readers for their own purposes, both within the context of fanfiction and without. THE EVOLUTION OF NANCY DREW, CULTURAL ICON: READERS, WRITERS, AND FANFICTION AUTHORS by ASHLEY CHRISTINE MERRILL A thesis submitted to the Graduate Faculty of North Carolina State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts ENGLISH Raleigh, North Carolina 2007 Approved by: ________________________________ ________________________________ John J.

  • What Literature Knows: Forays Into Literary Knowledge Production
    Contributions to English 2 Contributions to English and American Literary Studies 2 and American Literary Studies 2 Antje Kley / Kai Merten (eds.) Antje Kley / Kai Merten (eds.) Kai Merten (eds.) Merten Kai / What Literature Knows This volume sheds light on the nexus between knowledge and literature. Arranged What Literature Knows historically, contributions address both popular and canonical English and Antje Kley US-American writing from the early modern period to the present. They focus on how historically specific texts engage with epistemological questions in relation to Forays into Literary Knowledge Production material and social forms as well as representation. The authors discuss literature as a culturally embedded form of knowledge production in its own right, which deploys narrative and poetic means of exploration to establish an independent and sometimes dissident archive. The worlds that imaginary texts project are shown to open up alternative perspectives to be reckoned with in the academic articulation and public discussion of issues in economics and the sciences, identity formation and wellbeing, legal rationale and political decision-making. What Literature Knows The Editors Antje Kley is professor of American Literary Studies at FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg, Germany. Her research interests focus on aesthetic forms and cultural functions of narrative, both autobiographical and fictional, in changing media environments between the eighteenth century and the present. Kai Merten is professor of British Literature at the University of Erfurt, Germany. His research focuses on contemporary poetry in English, Romantic culture in Britain as well as on questions of mediality in British literature and Postcolonial Studies. He is also the founder of the Erfurt Network on New Materialism.

  • A Novel Idea: a Narrative Inquiry Into Queer Engagements with Fiction
    A Novel Idea: A Narrative Inquiry into Queer Engagements with Fiction By Jeffrey Daniel Lloyd A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Curriculum, Teaching, & Learning Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto © Copyright by Jeffrey Daniel Lloyd 2015 A Novel Idea: A Narrative Inquiry into Queer Engagements with Fiction Jeffrey Daniel Lloyd Doctor of Philosophy Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto 2015 Abstract This thesis explores the role reading novels (textual or graphic) played in the survival and desires of LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bi, trans, queer) students. At the time this research project was conceived, there were not many psychoanalytic and queer feminist critical literacy research studies concerned with how LGBTQ students were using literacy in relation to self-care and trauma caused by anti-LGBTQ oppression. Also LGBTQ students were frequently being characterized in positivist anti-oppression research as one-dimensional victims who were not exercising any agency, while being told by lesbian and gay celebrities to tolerate unlivable conditions at their schools because a better life in a LGBTQ enclave awaits them. Disempowering research, the unlivable lives LGBTQ students are expected to endure in schools and the need for further queer feminist research into specifically queer and trans critical literacies served as the central motivations for the undertaking of this project. This research study focuses on the ways in which LGBTQ students have come to understand the relationships between reading novels, self-care, trauma, and the development of a queer critical literacy. Narrative inquiry, autoethnography, and creative analytic practices were the methodologies used in this project.

  • Author Melanie Rehak on Girl Sleuth: Nancy Drew and the Women Who Created Her, Interviewed by Jennifer Fisher Page 8
    Drew Interview: Author Melanie Rehak on Girl Sleuth: Nancy Drew and the Women Who Created Her, Interviewed by Jennifer Fisher Page 8 A mystery solved! The mystery behind Nancy Drew and her creators is defined in Melanie Rehak’s new book, Girl Sleuth: Nancy Drew and the Women who Created Her. A revealing look at Stratemeyer Syndicate history, Rehak waxes nostalgically about the two women who had the most influence upon Nancy Drew: Mildred Wirt Benson and Harriet Stratemeyer Adams. Focusing on these two pioneering women and feminist history, she traces Nancy, Mildred, and Harriet’s footsteps through the decades and how each of them ultimately contributed to the popularity of America’s favorite teen sleuth. JF: Describe Nancy Drew in 5 words or less. MR: Resourceful, glamorous, classy, intelligent and bold. JF: What intrigued you in writing about Nancy Drew and her creators? MR: Of course I've loved Nancy since I read about her adventures as a child, so a chance to learn more about the teen detective was really appealing. Finding out that there were real-life women behind her, whose lives were in some ways as ground-breaking as Nancy's, only made her more interesting to me. I was amazed to learn that behind her fictional intrepid spirit, true struggles with power and independence were lurking. Also, the fact that these books were brought out by an organization that was made completely of women fascinated me. Even now that's rare, but certainly in the 30s and 40s it was practically unheard of. JF: Did you discover any interesting information that really stood out that most people wouldn't have a clue about in your research at the NYPL? MR: Yes, I did.
