Nothing like starting a mystery with a spooky house in a thunderstorm, eh? Only in this case, the spooky house is mine. Oh, it wouldn’t be nearly as spooky if the storm hadn’t blown the lights out, and my lawyer dad, Carson Drew, weren’t out of town on business! And yeah, there is that shadowy figure poking about in my room! Let’s see who it is, shall we? ChapterChapter One:One: intruderintruder inin thethe mudmud - 5 - ND#7_INT.indd 5 1/24/16 10:09 AM Ha! Fooled you. it’s just Hannah, our housekeeper! Nancy? You in here? She’s been sort of a mother to me as long as I can remember. Always worried about one thing or another. Eh? Of course, in this case you can’t blame her for being a little antsy, what with the storm, and the lights… - 6 - ND#7_INT.indd 6 1/24/16 10:09 AM …and the fact that my room is a total mess!

I’ve always admired that about her… …even if, as they say, discretion is sometimes the better part of valor.

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

THE MYSTERY OF THE BODY: EMBODIMENT IN THE NANCY DREW MYSTERY SERIES by KATIE STILL Under the Direction of Dr. Megan Sinnott ABSTRACT This thesis investigates the ways in which ideas about class, gender, and race are produced and articulated through the body in the Nancy Drew Mystery series in the 1930s. Physical descriptions and bodily movements, as well as material surroundings, work together to reify and contradict dominant ideas of normalcy and deviance being located on the body.

  • A Lesbian Masquerade
    Accessory to Murder: A Lesbian Masquerade Rob K. Baum ABSTRACT Mabel Maney parodies Fifties-era "girl detective" Nancy Drew with lesbian Nancy Clue, mocking the original series' insistence upon heteronormativity while maintaining Keene's luxuriously white, upper class sanctity. This article explores Maney's comic structure from Freudian "dress-up" and professional disguise to lesbian masquerade, demonstrating their ideological difference from gay camp - one queer commentary has repeatedly confused. Maney's conflation of the disparate motives of lesbian masquerade and gay camp lead to her abandonment of lesbian feminist readers. RESUME Mabel Maney fait la parodie de la "fille d£tecfive"des annees 50 Nancy Drew avec la lesbienne Nancy Clue en se moquant de I'insistence que la serie originale portait sur I'heteronormativite tout en gardant la sanctite de la classe superieure luxurieusement blanche. Cet article explore la structure comique de Maney du "deguisement" freudien et du ddguisement professionnel a la masquarade lesbienne, en expliquant leur difference ideologique avec celle du camp gay - ce qu'un commentaire homosexuel a embrouill6 a maintes reprises. L'assemblage que Maney a fait de la disparite des motifs de la masquarade lesbienne et du camp gay l'a porte a delaisser les lectrices feministes lesbiennes. From what we have seen...in this double reading of alienated girlhood are resurrected and reinforced by lesbian/queer revolutionary activity in America, ... Maney's "world o' girls" (the series' fictional the real fear we face, as scholars and activists, is publishing house), positioning women as either not that queers in America will have sex, but that lesbians or lawbreakers - thus subverting the ...queers in America will have politics.

  • Girl Detective Super Mystery #1, Where's Nancy?
    Drew Review: Nancy Drew: Girl Detective Super Mystery #1, Where’s Nancy? reviewed by Todd H. Latoski Page 17 “Sometimes it’s not easy having a friend like Nancy Drew.” This is what George thinks as she and Bess are waiting for their friend to meet them for lunch. Only Nancy doesn’t meet them – nor does she show up for her date with her boyfriend, Ned Nickerson! What has happened to Nancy Drew? And if she is gone, who is going to solve the mystery and find her? If you have ever wondered what it would be like to see George or Bess try and solve a mystery without the sleuthing skills of Nancy Drew, now’s your chance! June sees the publication of the very first Nancy Drew, Girl Detective Super Mystery – Where’s Nancy? Just like the regular Girl Detective series, it is written in the first-person narrative, only with an exciting new twist! Instead of Nancy narrating the story, readers get an opportunity for the first time to get into the heads of Nancy’s best friends, George Fayne and Bess Marvin! In alternating style like the new Hardy Boys: Undercover Brothers series, Where’s Nancy? begins with George narrating, while the next chapter allows Bess to tell the story, then back and forth with each alternating chapter. They relate to readers the story of how Nancy disappears, and how the two of them must draw on all the lessons they’ve learned from their friend to solve the mystery and find Nancy! Ned is along for the ride, as well as Nancy’s father and everyone’s favorite nemesis, Deirdre.

Susan’s books (written independently) are listed first; their co-authored books are listed second.

Dissertation Advisor: Professor Maria Tatar Christina Phillips Mattson Abstract Children’s Literature Grows Up proposes that there is a revolution occurring in contemporary children’s fiction that challenges the divide that has long existed between literature for children and literature for adults. Children’s literature, though it has long been considered worthy of critical inquiry, has never enjoyed the same kind of extensive intellectual attention as adult literature because children’s literature has not been considered to be serious literature or “high art.” Children’s Literature Grows Up draws upon recent scholarship about the thematic transformations occurring in the category, but demonstrates that there is also an emerging aesthetic and stylistic sophistication in recent works for children that confirms the existence of children’s narratives that are equally complex, multifaceted, and worthy of the same kind of academic inquiry that is afforded to adult literature.
