Emma Hamilton , Norah Lofts, 1978, Biography & Autobiography, 192 pages. The story opens with Thursday still in the world of fiction in her job as the Bellman, head of the literary police force Jurisfiction. She is still hunting the Minotaur that escaped in the last book; she is tiring of fiction, however, and longs to return to her own world and get back her husband Landen, who was removed from time by the evil Goliath Corporation in 1947. Despite Landen's non-existence, Thursday still has her son (Friday Next) who is now two years old. Thursday and Friday return to her mother (Wednesday) in Swindon, with Hamlet who is accompanying them on an excursion to the "Outland" to find out what people in the real world think of him. Her mother, whose main functions appear to be to make tea and to provide Battenburg cake, has some curious house guests: Emma Hamilton, Otto von Bismarck, and a family of dodos. Both humans are apparently staying for a rest, while Thursday's father (who has now been re-admitted to the time-travelling ChronoGuard) sorts out various parts of history for them. Despite her earlier transgressions that caused her to flee to the Bookworld in the first place, Thursday gets her job back at SpecOps-27 as a Literary Detective and catches up with her old colleagues. She learns that in her absence, Yorrick Kaine has joined forces with Goliath Corporation and plans to oust the ageing English President George Formby. As Prime Minister, Kaine wields some mysterious persuasive influence over Parliament and the people, and has used it to pass some bizarre laws and to stir up hatred of Denmark. Yorrick has also taken out a hit on her: he has hired an assassin known as "The Windowmaker", who is actually Cindy Stoker, the wife of Thursday's longtime friend, Spike. Thursday's father warns her that Kaine's ambitions may cause nuclear armageddon and that it is up to her to stop him. On top of this, she is visited by tearful agents from the Bookworld (Mrs Tiggy-Winkle and Emperor Zhark) who tell her that all sorts of things are going wrong without her leadership'; for starters, without its titular character, the play Hamlet has merged with The Merry Wives of Windsor creating a new play called "The Merry Wives of Elsinore", which is not nearly as good as either original play (in the words of Emperor Zhark, "it takes a long time to get funny, and, when it finally does, everyone dies"). Meanwhile, her most pressing problem is finding reliable childcare for Friday. Goliath Corporation have decided to become the new world religion to avoid a prophecy (the prophecy states that the Goliath Corporation will fall; Goliath believes that converting itself into a religion will exempt it from destruction, as the prophecy specifies a business). Thursday meets the CEO—at their headquarters in the Isle of Man—and gets a promise that they will un-eradicate Landen in exchange for her forgiveness. Thursday feels duped when she finds that, through some form of mind control, she has formally forgiven them, even though there is no sign of her husband. Then suddenly he is back, but takes a while to stabilise. Thursday must wait patiently for his un-eradication to "stick". In the meantime, she embarks on several seemingly impossible tasks, which include smuggling ten truckloads of banned Danish literature into Wales, tracking down an illegal clone of William Shakespeare, and teaching Friday to speak properly. She succeeds but not without a near-death experience and a visit to the gateway to the Underworld (which turns out to be a planned-but-never-built service station on the M4 motorway). The final chapters contain some curious time paradoxes in which Thursday finds that she has met herself at several other stages in her own lifespan, including one character which had seemed to be an independent character. The popularity of Jasper Fforde’s one-of-a-kind series of genre-bending blend of crime fiction, fantasy, and top-drawer literary entertainment builds with each new book. Now in the fourth installment, the resourceful literary detective Thursday Next returns to Swindon from the BookWorld accompanied by her son Friday and none other than the dithering Hamlet. But returning to SpecOps is no snap—as outlaw fictioner Yorrick Kaine plots for absolute power, the return of Swindon’s patron saint foretells doom, and, if that isn’t bad enough, The Merry Wives of Windsor is becoming entangled with Hamlet. Can Thursday find a Shakespeare clone to stop this hostile takeover? Can she vanquish Kaine and prevent the world from plunging into war? And will she ever find reliable child care? Find out in this totally original, action-packed romp, sure to be another escapist thrill for Jasper Fforde’s legions of fans. Thursday’s zany investigations continue with First Among Sequels. Look for the five other bestselling Thursday Next novels, including One of Our Thursdays is Missing and Jasper Fforde’s latest bestseller, The Woman Who Died A Lot. Visit jasperfforde.com for a ffull window into the Ffordian world! Jasper Fforde's unique brand of inspired insanity makes "Something Rotten" a welcome addition to his enormously entertaining and often hilarious Thursday Next series. Thursday is the head of Jurisfiction, the policing agency that "safeguards the stability of the written word" in literature. However, she is tiring of her hectic, stressful, and often dangerous job and she needs a break. Thursday takes her two-year-old son, Friday, and decides to head for the Outland. She returns to her home town of Swindon, England, determined to bring back her "eradicated" husband, Landen Parke-Lane. Thursday's return home, unfortunately, brings a new set of problems to plague this beleaguered heroine. She is saddled with Hamlet, the Prince of Denmark, who is unhappy with the indecisive manner in which he has been portrayed by actors. In addition, the Council of Genres wants Thursday to do something about the dictatorial and ruthless Yorrick Kaine, an escaped fictionaut who is planning to dominate the world.

He had been writing purely for his own amusement for several years, but always harboured a dream of trading in his film career to become a full time writer.

Set in 1985 in a world that is similar to our own, but with a few crucial - and bizarre - differences (Wales is a socialist republic, the Crimean War is still ongoing and the most popular pets are home-cloned dodos), THE EYRE AFFAIR introduces a remarkable heroine, a literary detective named Thursday Next'. Thursday’s job includes spotting forgeries of Shakespeare’s lost plays, mending holes in narrative plotlines, and rescuing characters who have been kidnapped from literary masterpieces.

  • Inklings-Jahrbuch 30 (2012)
    Inklings-Jahrbuch 30 (2012) Klaudia Seibel LITERATECS, NURSERY CRIMES, AND DRAGONSLAYERS The Fantastic Fictional Universes of Jasper Fforde Jasper Fforde is one of the most prolific writers of 21st-century fantasy fic- tion. When his first novel, The Eyre Affair, was published in 2001, the genre of fantasy fiction was enriched by a new strand of writing that cannot be placed easily into any of the subgenres of the fantastic. As in all his nov- els, Fforde describes a slightly odd fantastic world that accommodates eas- ily metafictional elements without disturbing the credibility of the fictional world. This paper will try to demonstrate which metafictional elements are characteristic of Fforde’s different worlds and how they are integrated into these worlds. Jasper Fforde ist einer der produktivsten Autoren der Phantastik im 21. Jahrhundert. Als sein erster Roman, The Eyre Affair (dt. Der Fall Jane Eyre) 2001 erschien, wurde die Gattung des Phantastischen um Texte erwei- tert, die sich in keine der phantastische Untergattungen einordnen lassen. Wie auch in seinen anderen Romanen, beschreibt Fforde eine etwas merk- wu¨ rdige phantastische Welt, in die sich metafiktionale Elemente gut einfu¨- gen ohne die Glaubwu¨ rdigkeit der fiktionalen Welt zu unterminieren. Der Aufsatz versucht zu zeigen, welche metafiktionalen Verfahren kennzeich- nend fu¨ r Ffordes verschiedene Weltentwu¨ rfe sind und wie diese in die ent- worfenen Welten integriert werden. “My imaginative worlds of which some are very odd in- deed are only there essentially to give credibility to the central idea in the story.” (Jasper Fforde)1 1 British Council 3:50. 87 Klaudia Seibel, Literatecs, Nursery Crimes, and Dragonslayers Jasper Fforde had his first novel printed in 2001 and has been very busy ever since, publishing twelve books so far.

  • Jasper Fforde's the Eyre Affair
    Article Info/Makale Bilgisi Received/Geliş: 30.12.2016 Accepted/Kabul: 28.03.2017 DOİ: 10.5505/pausbed.2017.83798 MATERIALIZING THE READING PROCESS: JASPER FFORDE’S THE EYRE AFFAIR∗ F. ZEYNEP BİLGE∗∗ Abstract This study suggests that Jasper Fforde’s novel The Eyre Affair (2001) is a fictional representation of the reader response theory. Being the first novel of the Thursday Next series, the novel introduces the reader an alternate universe in which there are no boundaries between the real and the fictitious worlds. Allowing the reader enter Jane Eyre’s story both on a mental and physical level, Fforde’s rewriting fills in the gaps within the source text with alternative incidents. Basing its argument on Louise M. Rosenblatt’s theory concerning the transactional reader response theory, this study displays the reader’s dynamic role during the reading process by emphasizing the intertextual relationship between Jane Eyre and The Eyre Affair. Keywords: The Eyre Affair, Jane Eyre, Jasper Fforde, Reader Response Theory, Rewriting, Intertextuality, Parody OKUMA SÜRECİNİ CİSİMLEŞTİRMEK: JASPER FFORDE'NİN THE EYRE AFFAİR ROMANI Özet Bu çalışma Jasper Fforde’nin The Eyre Affair (2001) adlı romanının okur tepkisi odaklı eleştiri kuramının kurmaca bir temsili olduğu iddiasını ortaya atmaktadır. Thursday Next roman dizisinin ilk romanı olan bu metin, okura gerçek ve kurmaca arasında sınır bulunmayan bir evren sunar. Okurun Jane Eyre’in dünyasına hem zihinsel hem fiziksel olarak girmesine olanak sağlayarak Fforde tarafından kaleme alınan bu yeniden yazım, kaynak metindeki boşlukları alternatif olaylarla doldurmaktadır. Louise M. Rosenblatt’ın okur tepkisi odaklı eleştiri kuramını temel alan bu çalışma, Jane Eyre ve The Eyre Affair romanları arasındaki metinlerarası ilişkiyi vurgulayarak okurun okuma sürecindeki dinamik rolünü gözler önüne sermektedir.

  • Wishing to Be Fictional
    Wishing to Be Fictional Laura Green Northeastern University n Jasper Fforde’s crime-novel parody The Fourth Bear: A Nursery In- vestigation (2006), a detective named Jack Spratt investigates crimes Iinvolving characters from nursery rhymes, such as the Gingerbread Man. The novel’s parallel universe of Reading, England, features two kinds of characters. Some characters are, for the novel’s purposes, “real people,” who have the same beliefs about their ontological status as the novel’s readers do about theirs and are fictional only from the reader’s extradiegetical perspective. These characters live side-by-side with “Per- sons of Dubious Reality” (PDRs), whose existence derives from other texts and who know that they are intradiegetically, as well as extradi- egetically, fictional. As it turns out, Spratt himself is a PDR—Jack Sprat of the nursery rhyme, who, having added an extra “T” to his name, is passing as real. A crisis occurs when he must confess his status to his wife, Madeleine, who is, apparently, real. Her anger at his deception is compounded by the fear that if someone as apparently ordinary (by local standards) as Jack is a PDR, she might be one also. Spratt’s attempt to dispel this fear is not, as the reader recognizes, entirely persuasive: “In the nursery world, surnames always make good rhymes. Horner/corner, Spratt/fat, Hubbard/cupboard. Your maiden name of ‘Usher’ doesn’t rhyme with much except ‘gusher’ and . ‘flusher’” (185). Spratt seems to overlook his own knowledge that PDRs don’t come exclusively from nursery lore (his own close PDR acquaintance includes his daughter’s fiancé, Prometheus, and his son’s pet, Caliban), and his reading appar- ently has not extended to the stories of Poe, in whose “Fall of the House of Usher” Madeleine is to be found.1 With its crossing and re-crossing of conventional boundaries be- tween the representationally real and the representationally fictional, Fforde’s postmodern romp mocks readers’ attachment to these distinc- tions and our conviction that we (unlike Madeleine) can be certain which side we are on.

Thursday quickly agrees as this is a big step up in her career. Also in A Thursday Next Novel. This is a wonderful and escapist read, which brings new meaning to the idea of disapperaring into a good book! Baconians are trying to convince the world that Francis Bacon really wrote Shakespeare, there are riots between the Surrealists and Impressionists, and thousands of men are named John Milton, an homage to the real Milton and a very confusing situation for the police. Despite all the literary references and the alt-history cleverness, these are just very goofy books. The trauma of the war led to the end of her relationship with Parke-Laine several years prior. The Fold. Witty and clever, this literate romp heralds a fun new series set in a wonderfully original world. Sign In Don't have an account? Pages Blog. The Second Sleep.

Since then, he has been writing in the Comedy/Fantasy Genre with thirteen more books. A few years after having written The Eyre Affair, Fforde extended the Thursday Next series with six more novels and published two books in a second series called 'Nursery Crime', The Big Over Easy (2005) and The Fourth Bear (2006). In January 2010 Fforde put to press Shades of Grey. Conclusively, his latest series hold The Last Dragonslayer (2010), Song of the Quarkbeast (2011) and The Eye of Zoltar (2013). At the final point, last August, Fforde's last book, Early Riser, was printed (J. And M. Fforde). In comparison to other publications by Fforde, The Eyre Affair is more associated with fiction in a contemporary world and everything related to literature, but in all his works there are common general stylistics features and main themes, such as feminism, racism and history (Fforde, interview by Heminsley).
