Smulders- Srinivasan, anticipating the release of Cryoburn later that year, did some sums and pointed out that if we all re-read the Vorkosigan Saga as we ought, in preparation, allocating two weeks to each novel and one to each novella, we’d finish bang on publication date. So off we went on what became in effect a rolling Vorkosiverse seminar, averaging 35+ digests a week, with the role of questioner switching two or three times a month while a Good Time was Had By All. With a head of steam well-raised by the time we hit A Civil Campaign in September, this Companion was born of a suggestion by Nikohl K.. Much intertextuality had been uncovered in discussions that people wanted to be able to access again in coherent form, and the happy notion took root that a volume such as this should be created as a present to Lois and the Dendarii Nexus website to celebrate a quarter-century of Vorkosiganity in 2011. As the contents-page shows, the editors have been concerned to be as thorough as possible, providing mini-essays on the major intertexts and subtitle, and chapter-by-chapter annotation of particular allusions (including those to other books in the series) and generic tropes. That said, this Companion is principally concerned with LMB’s sources and intertexts, and does not attempt to provide a full critical commentary either on the exquisite internal construction of A Civil Campaign or on the many story-arcs that (to date) terminate in it. The Companion is not intended for first-time readers of A Civil Campaign, for whom it would be crammed with spoilers, but for those who, having enjoyed the novel, wish to understand its subtleties of art and craft more fully. All readers are also warned that there are within the annotations some spoilers for all Vorkosiverse volumes, including that crucial datum from Cryoburn. Many List members have contributed and are named at the back ; Nancy Barber heroically undertook coding for the website ; and Lois herself has been kind enough to look it over, making corrections and offering additional comments. The editors warmly thank them all. NK, JL 6 References and Abbreviations Bracketed page-references to A Civil Campaign, of the form ‘(n, n1, n2)’, are to the Baen first-edition hardback (1999), mass-market paperback (2000), and omnibus Miles in Love (2008), in that order. ‘ACC’ is used in annotation where no page-reference is appropriate ; references to any other book include a short or abbreviated title, the abbreviations used being: Works by LMB ACC A Civil Campaign B Barrayar BA Brothers in Arms BI ‘The Borders of Infinity’ BIn Borders of Infinity C Cetaganda Cb Cryoburn CC The Curse of Chalion DI Diplomatic Immunity DD Dreamweaver’s Dilemma EA Ethan of Athos FF Falling Free HH The Hallowed Hunt K Komarr L ‘Labyrinth’ M Memory MD Mirror Dance MM ‘The Mountains of Mourning’ PS Paladin of Souls SH Shards of Honor SR The Spirit Ring TSK The Sharing Knife VG The Vor Game WA The Warrior’s Apprentice WG ‘Winterfair Gifts’ When a Vorkosiverse anthology is cited the title is given in full. 7 Other works BH Dorothy L.

Comments by “LMB on Baen’s Bar” were made in her ‘Miles to Go’ forum. All posts quoted have been silently edited for typographical style (the List is plaintext) and typos ; other changes are [crotcheted]. 8 Part I : The Major Intertexts For Jane, Charlotte, Georgette, and Dorothy— long may they rule. Alone among LMB’s work, A Civil Campaign is dedicated not to a personal acquaintance but to four late queens of romance—Jane Austen (1775–1817), Charlotte Brontë (1816–55), Georgette Heyer (1902–74), and Dorothy L. Sayers (1893–1957). As LMB explains matters in the ‘Afterword’ to Miles in Love: I’d been itching to write a Barrayaran Regency romance ever since I’d realised I’d given Barrayar a regency period. I dedicated it to four inspiring female writers. I’d read Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre fairly early on, but I only came to Georgette Heyer and Dorothy L. Sayers in my twenties, when my reading branched out, and I’ve only picked up Jane Austen fairly recently. Heyer remains my favorite comfort reading—A Civil Campaign is very much a tribute to her—though there was a period when her inherent class-ism got up my nose. Sayers’s work, even more than that of C. S. Forester and Arthur Conan Doyle, is a model for the kind of wonderful character development that can only be done over a long series. […] The tale offered many delicious levels of play, not least that of dissecting a lot of romance tropes under a true SF knife. What happens to the old dance between men, women, and DNA when new technologies explode old definitions of, well, everything? What happens to a tradition-bound society whose channels of property and power assume gender divisions and functions that new science throws into a cocked hat? Just what rude things do those butter bugs symbolize? What happens to two supposedly immiscible genres when you put them both in a bottle and give it a good shake? What can each say about the other? Chamomile tea and blasters: give me both! [Miles in Love, ‘Afterword’ ; ‘Putting It Together’, in VC] 9 Yet fascinating as this is it barely begins the story, for in the case of each dedicatee a particular novel seems to be intertextually summoned : Austen’s Pride and Prejudice (1813), Brontë’s Jane Eyre (1847), and Sayers’s Gaudy Night (1935) by plot, and Heyer’s A Civil Contract (1961) by title (with much other Heyer in tow).

    This article was originally published in Clues, Vol. 37, No. 2, 2019 by McFarland & Company, Inc., Publishers. “I always did hate watering-places”: Tourism and Carnival in Agatha Christie’s and Dorothy L. Sayers’s Seaside Novels Rebecca Mills Rebecca Mills teaches crime fiction and other literary and media units at Bournemouth University in the United Kingdom. She has published on Agatha Christie and Golden Age detective fiction, and is coediting an essay collection with J. C. Bernthal on war in Agatha Christie’s work. Abstract. This article examines the interwar watering-place in Agatha Christie’s Peril at End House (1932) and Dorothy L. Sayers’s Have His Carcase (1932), drawing on theories of tourism and the social history of coastal resorts to demonstrate how these authors subvert the recuperative leisure and pleasure of the seaside by revealing sites for hedonism, performance, and carnival. The Golden Age seaside novels of Agatha Christie and Dorothy L. Sayers inhabit the interwar heyday of coastal resorts and tourism. The outburst of hedonism after World War I saw “the rise of recognizably modern resort activities” such as arcades, swimming pools and pavilions, as well as enthusiasm for sunbathing and sea swimming (Morgan and Pritchard 33). The seaside holiday was effectively branded and marketed by resort towns and a growing railway network, which contributed to defining the South Coast seaside holiday. In the 1930s, the Great Western Railway (GWR) promoted healthful outdoor activity such as camping and rambling in Devon to counter competition from foreign resorts (Morgan and Pritchard 121); slogans such as “Bournemouth: For Health and Pleasure” in a poster depicting a stylized fashionable woman in a backless evening dress gazing over pavilion, pier, and rugged coastline suggested “an elegant and restrained Bournemouth which promises leisure allied to refinement” (Harrington 30).
