    The Theme of the Double in Ian Rankin´S Knots & Crosses and Hide And

    Faculty of Humanities, Social Sciences and Education The theme of the Double in Ian Rankin´s Knots & Crosses and Hide and Seek. — Hilde O. Nordjord Master Thesis in English Literature ENG-3992 May 2016 Abstract. This thesis is about the theme of the Double in Ian Rankin´s two first crime novels Knots & Crosses, published in 1987, and Hide and Seek, published in 1990. My thesis statement is that Ian Rankin has developed the theme of doubling with great weaknesses since he has chosen to place the characters so closely together in both novels. Many different games are played in the novels. That is typical of the genre and for these two specific novels. Antagonists and protagonists play games with each other in order to gain information, to figure each other out in order to have the upper hand or simply to survive. The characters relate to books in different ways, but all of the important characters are in one way or another involved with books. The titles of the novels do not only reflect what the novels contain, but there are also literal and non-literal examples of how the words in the titles are used in both texts. The actions of strangulation and choking are present in the first novel as a murder method and a link between Detective John Rebus and the murderer, Gordon Reeve. In the second novel these actions are merely used as a plot device. The connection between Robert Louis Stevenson´s Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is undisputable in both novels. It reiterates the importance of the theme and shows off the likeness between the characters in Rankin´s novels and the Jekyll and Hyde character.
  • Religious Belief in Recent Detective Fiction . . . La Creencia Religiosa En

    Religious Belief in Recent Detective Fiction . . . La Creencia Religiosa En

    ATLANTIS Journal of the Spanish Association of Anglo-American Studies 36.1 (June 2014): 139-51 issn 0210-6124 Religious Belief in Recent Detective Fiction Bill Phillips Universitat de Barcelona [email protected] Detective fiction emerged as a result of the increasing secularisation of society. The certainties expounded by the Church are reenacted through the figure of the rational investigator whose perspicacity never fails to uncover the perpetrator and return the world to its pre-lapsarian tranquillity. Often the villain whose wicked deeds must be brought to book is the leader of an obscure mystical sect, but otherwise religion, particularly of the mainstream variety, is noticeably absent. This has, however, recently changed. The detective, once the acme of rational thought and deductive flair—incarnated in the figure of Sherlock Holmes, for example—has now been replaced, on occasions, by investigators with overt religious beliefs. The explanation for this apparently inconsistent development is tied to the evolution of crime fiction over recent decades, in which both the model of the traditional hard-boiled detective and the genre itself have been questioned and deconstructed by a new generation of crime writers. Keywords: crime fiction; hard-boiled; religion; Christianity; postmodernism; genre . La creencia religiosa en la ficción de detectives reciente La ficción detectivesca apareció como resultado de la secularización de la sociedad. Las certezas antaño predicadas por la Iglesia se encarnaban ahora en la figura del investigador racional, cuya perspicacia conseguía sistemáticamente descubrir al criminal y devolver al mundo a su estado de paz prelapsario. A menudo, el villano cuyas maldades deben corregirse es el líder de alguna oscura secta, pero si este no es el caso, la religión, sobre todo las mayoritarias, permanece notablemente ausente de la narración.

    MANCHESTER LITERATURE FESTIVAL 2015 12—25 October

    MANCHESTER LITERATURE FESTIVAL 2015 12—25 OctoBer Principal Sponsor Welcome Manchester Literature Festival is ten years young this year and like most ten year olds we are super excited about our birthday celebrations. We’ve put together an extra special bumper edition, inviting back many of our favourite writers from the past decade and hand-picking some of the most gifted emerging storytellers, destined to make big literary waves in the coming decade. Melvyn Bragg and Robert Harris explore power, politics and humanity through the lens of history, whilst Margaret Atwood and Sarah Hall present disturbing visions of the future in their new novels. Paul Mason discusses what a post-capitalist world might look like and, in our new literature and landscape strand of events, writers reflect on our relationship with nature and the earth. Elif Shafak delivers this year’s Gaeia Manchester Sermon and Joanne Harris presents a specially commissioned Writer’s Manifesto. We bring words and music together through some unique collaborations with manchester jazz festival and Manchester Camerata, and singer songwriter Kathryn Williams performs songs from her new album Hypoxia inspired by Syliva Plath. In much anticipated literary re-imaginings, Anthony Horowitz introduces us to his new James Bond novel Trigger Mortis and Jeanette Winterson launches her retelling of Shakespeare’s A Winters’ Tale. We explore the legacy of literary icons Saul Bellow, John le Carré, George Eliot, Elizabeth Gaskell and WB Yeats; and champion pioneering women Eleanor Marx, Sophia Duleep Singh and Virginia Woolf. Our ever popular literary tours explore the haunts of Manchester’s literati, and allow you to enter the pages of much loved novels Love on the Dole and Wuthering Heights.
