Russell A. Mann Sherlock Holmes Research Collection Monographs, Serials, Ephemera & Collectibles RUSSELL A. MANN SHERLOCK HOLMES RESEARCH COLLECTION MONOGRAPHS, SERIALS, EPHEMERA & COLLECTIBLES Inventory Compiled by Hans Rasmussen Special Collections, Hill Memorial Library Louisiana State University Libraries Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, La. 2017 SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE The items in this collection are part of the Russell A. Mann Sherlock Holmes Research Collection, but have not been cataloged individually because they are not in their original formats (represented here as printouts or photocopies), are typescripts, ephemeral, three- dimensional, or are otherwise deemed unsuitable for individual catalog records. SUBGROUP DESCRIPTIONS Subgroup I. John Bennett Shaw and Sherlock Holmes: A Collection of Documents and Materials Drawn from a Busy and Dedicated Life The first subgroup consists of correspondence, publications, and ephemera from 1966 to 2001 concerning John Bennett Shaw (1914-1994), a Sherlock Holmes scholar from Santa Fe, New Mexico, who amassed one of the largest Sherlockian libraries in the world. He donated it to the University of Minnesota in 1993 to join the already substantial library of Philip S. and Mary Kahler Hench. These papers were accumulated most likely by Robert C. Hess, a Sherlockian enthusiast from Brightwaters, New York. Subgroup II. Monographs, Serials & Ephemera The second subgroup consists of photocopies and printouts of monographs, articles, scripts, and indexes, as well as maps, illustrations, and various forms of ephemera accumulated by Russell A. Mann. Series A. Monographs & Articles consists primarily of printouts of short monographs previously published on the Internet; printouts and photocopies of articles, scripts, and exhibition catalogs; bibliographies; unpublished monographs; and other short papers, usually written by a single named author. They are arranged alphabetically by the name of the author or by title. Series B. Anthologies & Topical Files are files of articles, stories, and other resources on specific topics compiled by Russell A. Mann. Most have titles assigned by Russell Mann and are arranged alphabetically by title or by subject. Series C. Periodicals consists of printouts of niche Sherlockian periodicals previously published on the Internet, various theater playbills, and single issues of obscure entertainment periodicals containing insignificant articles for general readers. Series D. Indexes consists of typewritten indexes to several books prepared by Adrian Nebbett. Series E. Illustrations & Ephemera contains assorted illustrations, cartoons, postcards, and ephemeral items. Subgroup III. Sherlock Holmes Collectibles The third subgroup contains mostly three-dimensional collectibles concerning Sherlock Holmes, such as puzzles and games, toys and dolls, pottery, figurines, and other assorted collectibles. They are organized by format, but are arranged in no particular order. CONTAINER LIST Subgroup I.

  • By Ujorha, Tadaferua Onoseme Symbolism And
    SYMBOLISM AND SOUTH AFRICAN PROSE: A STUDY OF 19TH CENTURY SOUTH AFRICAN NOVELS OF ENGLISH EXPRESSION BY UJORHA, TADAFERUA ONOSEME A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE POST-GRADUATE SCHOOL, AHMADU BELLO UNIVERSITY, PARIA IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENT FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS (M.A.) IN LITERATURE. DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH FACULTY OF ARTS AHMADU BELLO UNIVERSITY ZARIA, NIGERIA. 1998 vi ABSTRACT The rise of Shaka the Zulu and the Mfecane, the entrenchment and consolidation of the Boers in the region, and the Mineral Revolution and its consequences are the essential themes of 19th century South African history. These themes are developed within the context of various literary ideologies in the mass of creative writing that assess South Africa during the period. Critical works on the artistic efforts of the period dwell extensively on the pedigree of the novel, the various thematic thrusts, and the relationships and influences evident in the works. There is also a consideration of symbolism in a general sense. However, no work has been done on the significance of Nature and social symbols, and the evocative power these possess as beacons of social realities in South Africa of the 19th century. This is the thrust of this research which aims at focusing on Nature and Social symbolism to redress the uneven balance of previous scholarship, and to highlight the significance of symbols for purposes of historical reconstruction of the period The study consists of five chapters. The first chapter surveys details of 19th century South African history, and establishes the basis for the research. Chapter Two considers Shaka the Zulu and the Mfecane vii in Nada The Lily (1958) , ChaKa (1931) and Shaka Zulu (1955) Chapter Three examines the colonial intrusion which is reflected in King Solomon' Mines (1982) Allan Quatermain (1956) and Mhudi (1978).

  • Star Wars at MT
    NEW STAR WARS AT MADAME TUSSAUDS UNIQUE INTERACTIVE STAR WARS EXPERIENCE OPENS MAY 2015 A NEW multi-million pound experience opens at Madame Tussauds London in May, with a major new interactive Star Wars attraction. Created in close collaboration with Disney and Lucasfilm, the unique, immersive experience brings to life some of film’s most powerful moments featuring extraordinarily life- like wax figures in authentic walk-in sets. Fans can star alongside their favourite heroes and villains of Star Wars Episodes I-VI, with dynamic special effects and dramatic theming adding to the immersion as they encounter 16 characters in 11 separate sets. The attraction takes the Madame Tussauds experience to a whole new level with an experience that is about much more than the wax figures. Guests will become truly immersed in the films as they step right into Yoda's swamp as Luke Skywalker did in Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back or feel the fiery lava of Mustafar as Anakin turns to the dark side in Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith. Spanning two floors, the experience covers a galaxy of locations from the swamps of Dagobah and Jabba’s Throne Room to the flight deck of the Millennium Falcon. Fans can come face-to-face with sinister Stormtroopers; witness Luke Skywalker as he battles Darth Vader on the Death Star; feel the Force alongside Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui-Gon Jinn when they take on Darth Maul on Naboo; join the captive Princess Leia and the evil Jabba the Hutt in his Throne Room; and hang out with Han Solo in the cantina before stepping onto the Millennium Falcon with the legendary Wookiee warrior, Chewbacca.

  • Century: 1969 Volume III, Number 2 PDF Book at the Flying Cylinder, Mina Meets and Questions Gallion's Partner Julia, Who Takes Her Back to Her Flat
    THE LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN: CENTURY: 1969 VOLUME III, NUMBER 2 PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Kevin O'Neill,Alan Moore | 80 pages | 09 Aug 2011 | Top Shelf Productions | 9781603090063 | English | Georgia, United States The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: Century: 1969 Volume III, Number 2 PDF Book At the Flying Cylinder, Mina meets and questions Gallion's partner Julia, who takes her back to her flat. Current selection is: Paperback. Mycroft receives news of the Nautilus attacking the London docks, as well as a letter from the Earl of Gurney confessing to all the Ripper crimes, so he orders for MacHeath to be freed without charge and sends the League to the docks. When no such apology was forthcoming, Moore and O'Neill decided to withdraw future volumes of the League from DC in protest. The series spans four volumes, an original graphic novel , and a spin-off trilogy of graphic novella. While the men fight, Mina comes face to face with Janni, who recognises her. The vicious gangster bosses of London's East End find themselves brought into contact with a counter-culture underground of mystical and medicated flower-children, or amoral pop-stars on the edge of psychological disintegration and developing a taste for Satanism. He recognises one of the men in his visions as paranormal detective Simon Iff , and the League go to a gentlemen's club Carnacki and Iff regularly attend to learn more about him. Moore was in too much hurry to finish. The sequence in which Janni Dakkar aka Pirate Jenny exacts her brutal revenge on the London docks is probably the best- executed in the book.

  • My Own 221B Baker Street ”To a Great Mind Nothing Is Little” (STUD)
    My Own 221B Baker Street ”To a great mind nothing is little” (STUD) PLANNING AND BUILDING For forty years I had toyed with the idea of making myself a full-scale replica of the most famous room in the world literature, the legendary snug , unconventional sitting room at 221B Baker Street in London where most of the wonderful Sherlock Holmes adventures begin and where the reader, embedded in safe fellowship, listens to the detective revealing his remarkable clues to his dedicated friend Dr Watson while the eternal smoke from his pipe curles against the ceiling. However, on my own retirement we moved to a rather small terrace house and I had to drop the idea. I then suddenly remembered a fine letter from my friend John Bennett Shaw 1 where he temptingly describes the 221B miniature that his wife Dorothy had made for him, and realized that I could build my own scale model. Now, twelve years later, I can hardly think of anything more pleasant than a hobby including cultural and literary research, miniature handicraft and collecting. After having read the Holmes stories once again -- this time taking careful notes -- I started with a design draft. My proper scale would be the English 1:12, one inch to one foot. And my model should at least exibit the ground floor and the second floor of the famous three-storied Baker Street house. When musing about the dimensions of the house I decided on two criteria: The stairs leading up to the second floor must consist of seventeen steps2 and the sitting room had to be large enough to hold all the furniture that is mentioned in the stories3.
