A Holmes and Doyle Bibliography Volume 2 Monographs and Serials By Subject Compiled by Timothy J. Johnson Minneapolis High Coffee Press 2010 A Holmes & Doyle Bibliography Volume 2, Monographs & Serials, by Subject This bibliography is a work in progress. It attempts to update Ronald B.

Some headings have been modified. Please use the bookmark function in your PDF reader to navigate through the document by subject categories. De Waal's major subject categories are: 1. The Sacred Writings 2. The Apocrypha 3. Manuscripts 4. Foreign Language Editions 5. The Literary Agent (Sir Arthur Conan Doyle) 6. The Writings About the Writings 7. Sherlockians and The Societies 8. Memorials and Memorabilia 9. Games, Puzzles and Quizzes 10. Actors, Performances and Recordings 11. Parodies, Pastiches, Burlesques, Travesties and Satires 12. Cartoons, Comics and Jokes The compiler wishes to thank Peter E. Blau, Don Hobbs, Leslie S.

Signed: '~"\ ~~Ue6b Alban Webb Declaration: The work presented in this thesis is my own. Signed: Alban Webb ABSTRACT The Second World War had radically changed the focus of the BBC's overseas operation from providing an imperial service in English only, to that of a global broadcaster speaking to the world in over forty different languages. The end of that conflict saw the BBC's External Services, as they became known, re-engineered for a world at peace, but it was not long before splits in the international community caused the postwar geopolitical landscape to shift, plunging the world into a cold war. At the British government's insistence a re-calibration of the External Services' broadcasting remit was undertaken, particularly in its broadcasts to Central and Eastern Europe, to adapt its output to this new and emerging world order.

I stared quizzically at the cover and noticed it was titled, Labyrinth. For a moment I was confused as to why my mother would bother buying me some strange, fantasy movie from the eighties, but suddenly, it clicked. I had grown up watching this film; in fact I had been so obsessed with it that every time we went to our local movie rental store I would beg my mom to rent it for a couple of nights.

Special effort has been made to ensure that original spelling (this includes what may be typographical errors such as the 1776 reference on pp29 which should, apparently, be 1766 or pp39 where June 10 appears twice and should, at a guess, be July 10 in the second appearance, and, my favorite, July 40, on pp46), line-breaks, and vocabulary are left intact, and when possible, similar fonts have been used. However, it contains original formatting and image scans. All rights are reserved except those specifically granted herein. Of particular note in this reproduction is the unusual (by today’s standards) selection of page and font size. The page size is, in the original 6” x 10” with a font approximately 9 point for large portions of the book. Reproducing it in 6x9 with smaller top and bottom margins with hand tweaked font, paragraph, and line spacings, I have tried to recaptured the original personality of the book. However, this can make it difficult to read. Be assured that this was maintained in order to keep the “flavor” of the original text but it can be taxing on the eyes.

    ENC 1145 3309 Chalifour

    ENC 1145: Writing About Weird Fiction Section: 3309 Time: MWF Period 8 (3:00-3:50 pm) Room: Turlington 2349 Instructor: Spencer Chalifour Email: [email protected] Office: Turlington 4315 Office Hours: W Period 7 and by appointment Course Description: In his essay “Supernatural Horror in Fiction,” H.P. Lovecraft defines the weird tale as having to incorporate “a malign and particular suspension or defeat of those fixed laws of Nature which are our only safeguard against the assaults of chaos and the daemons of unplumbed space.” This course will focus on “weird fiction,” a genre originating in the late 19th century and containing elements of horror, fantasy, science fiction, and the macabre. In our examination of weird authors spanning its history, we will attempt to discover what differentiates weird fiction from similar genres and will use several theoretical and historical lenses to examine questions regarding what constitutes “The Weird.” What was the cultural and historical context for the inception of weird fiction? Why did British weird authors receive greater literary recognition than their American counterparts? Why since the 1980s are we experiencing a resurgence of weird fiction through the New Weird movement, and how do these authors continue the themes of their predecessors into the 21st century? Readings for this class will span from early authors who had a strong influence over later weird writers (like E.T.A. Hoffman and Robert Chambers) to the weird writers of the early 20th century (like Lovecraft, Robert Howard, Clark Ashton Smith, Lord Dunsany, and Algernon Blackwood) to New Weird authors (including China Miéville, Thomas Ligotti, and Laird Barron).
