    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.

I READ THIS 180 PAGED BOOK IN ONE DAY, AND IT WAS VERY HARD TO PUT DOWN. THIS IS NOT THE ONLY BOOK I HAVE READ ABOUT NANCY DREW, I RECCOMEND THE OTHERS TOO.ÜÜÜ Susan and Bill had been writing for some time before they began to write mysteries for adults. At the request of readers, book collectors, and librarians, here is a list of all their books, organized according to the name or pseudonym they used. Susan's books (written independently) are listed first; their co-authored books are listed second. Bill's independent writing consists of the computer programs, documentation, and technical manuals he wrote in his previous incarnation as a systems analyst—he didn't think you'd be interested in that stuff. Currently, I am writing a book which focuses on the history of Nancy Drew. A biography on the original "Carolyn Keene," Mildred Wirt Benson, is in the works. While this website is a good introduction into the world of Nancy Drew, you will find in-depth analysis of all things Drew in my upcoming book. One of the earliest book related collectibles is the Nancy Drew Mystery Game issued by Parker Brothers in 1957.

    An Investigation Into the Potential of a Corpus-Influenced Syllabus for Primary English Literacy Education in Japan

    AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE POTENTIAL OF A CORPUS-INFLUENCED SYLLABUS FOR PRIMARY ENGLISH LITERACY EDUCATION IN JAPAN by ERI HIRATA A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of English College of Arts and Law The University of Birmingham March 2011 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ABSTRACT The research presented in this thesis investigates the feasibility of a corpus-influenced syllabus for primary literacy education in Japan. It achieves this with reference to two aspects of the context within which such an initiative might be developed. One is the cultural context; that is, the demands of primary ELT in Japan. Therefore this research explores policy makers’ and teachers’ views, the texts frequently used in primary ELT classrooms, and some aspects of teacher training. The other focus is from a linguistic viewpoint, concerned with the identification of linguistic features which pupils need to learn for the development of their English literacy. This thesis describes an innovative method for identifying such features. The cultural context was investigated by means of three surveys, the first of which was used to inform the choice of texts to include in the corpus.

    The Nancy Drew 75 /Stratemeyer Syndicate 100 Conference Report

    The Nancy Drew 75th/Stratemeyer Syndicate 100th Conference Report by Jennifer Fisher Page 25 Celebrating 75 years of Nancy Drew and 100 years of the Stratemeyer Syndicate which created Nancy Drew and many other popular series over the years was the driving force behind my organizing this intense endeavor. Challenging though it was to put together an event of this size and complexity, it was an effort well worth the time and energy–a near once in a lifetime event that some have dubbed it–which I hope to repeat again in 2007. I set out to have a variety of topics and speakers who could focus on the many facets of Syndicate series book history. From Edward Stratemeyer’s beginnings to the organization of the Stratemeyer Syndicate to the proliferation of its many series including the popular Tom Swift, Hardy Boys, and Nancy Drew series, the conference featured these themes as well as an interesting focus on the Syndicate series illustrators and ghostwriters. Authors of books dealing with a Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys theme were present to discuss these books as were licensees of Simon & Schuster’s: Her Interactive and Papercutz who spoke about the computer game and graphic novel ventures. An artist, Laura Ruby, delved into her perspective on the art of detection with her Nancy Drew series. Speakers that presented were: James Keeline (Edward Stratemeyer, Series Illustrators), Leslie Garis (Garis family–prolific Stratemeyer ghostwriters), Geoffrey Lapin (Interviewed Leslie & spoke on ghostwriter Pat Doll), Trudi Abel (Edward Stratemeyer’s business model), Laura Ruby (Nancy Drew series of artwork), Sharon Reid Harris (Nancy Drew’s travelogues), Melanie Rehak (Mildred A.

    The Mystery of the Vanishing Sleuth: the Representation of Nancy Drew in Cover

    The Mystery of the Vanishing Sleuth: The Representation of Nancy Drew in Cover Design from 1930 to 2016 by Leah Bailey A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Media and Communication Middle Tennessee State University May 2017 Dr. Jane Marcellus, Chair Dr. Katherine Foss Dr. Jan Quarles I would like to dedicate this thesis to my loving family who has supported me through the years in all my endeavors. i ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Much thanks and appreciation to my thesis committee for all of their help and guidance. I would like to especially thank my thesis chair, Dr. Jane Marcellus, for all of her assistance. ii ABSTRACT This thesis uses a semiotic analysis to examine the representation of the character Nancy Drew on the covers of twelve books in nine series published between 1930 and 2016. By studying the covers of books in the Nancy Drew series up to present day, the goal of this thesis is to discover how meaning is constructed through the cover design. In addition, this thesis examines how a longstanding female character was represented in literary media marketed to youth since 1930. Focusing on the construction of Nancy Drew as well as themes present on the book covers, this thesis argues that the representation of Nancy Drew as a strong and independent woman transformed over time to a much weaker and dependent representation. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Page LIST OF TABLES……………………………………………………………………....V CHAPTER ONE: Introduction………………………………………………………......1 The Importance of Book Covers………………………………………………....3
