  • The Red-Headed League (The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes) by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
    The Red-Headed League (The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes) by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle I had called upon my friend, Mr. Sherlock Holmes, one day in the autumn of last year and found him in deep conversation with a very stout, florid-faced, elderly gentleman with fiery red hair. With an apology for my intrusion, I was about to withdraw when Holmes pulled me abruptly into the room and closed the door behind me. "You could not possibly have come at a better time, my dear Watson," he said cordially. "I was afraid that you were engaged." "So I am. Very much so." "Then I can wait in the next room." "Not at all. This gentleman, Mr. Wilson, has been my partner and helper in many of my most successful cases, and I have no doubt that he will be of the utmost use to me in yours also." The stout gentleman half rose from his chair and gave a bob of greeting, with a quick little questioning glance from his small fat-encircled eyes. "Try the settee," said Holmes, relapsing into his armchair and putting his fingertips together, as was his custom when in judicial moods. "I know, my dear Watson, that you share my love of all that is bizarre and outside the conventions and humdrum routine of everyday life. You have shown your relish for it by the enthusiasm which has prompted you to chronicle, and, if you will excuse my saying so, somewhat to embellish so many of my own little adventures." "Your cases have indeed been of the greatest interest to me," I observed.

  • Lillie M. Evans Library District Book Club May 22, 2017
    Lillie M. Evans Library District Book Club May 22, 2017 Biography: Author and television scriptwriter Anthony Horowitz was born in Stanmore, England. He attended boarding and public schools. He graduated from the University of York and published his first book, Enter Frederick K. Bower (1979), when he was 23. Anthony writes mostly children's books, including the Alex Rider series, The Power of Five series, and the Diamond Brothers series. The first Alex Rider book was made into a movie entitled Stormbreaker. He also writes novels for adults including The Killing Joke and The Magpie Murders. He has created Foyle's War and Midsomer Murders for television as well as written episodes for Poirot and Murder Most Horrid. Most recently he was commissioned by the Ian Fleming Estate to write the James Bond novel Trigger Mortis. Anthony was awarded Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) for his services to literature in January 2014. (Source: Bowker Author Biography) Similar Resources: Discussion Questions: 1. Anthony Horowitz's acknowledgements say, "Writing this book has been a joy and my hope is that I will have done some justice to the original." From what you know of Arthur Conan Doyle's novels, how does Anthony Horowitz's version compare? 2. "Holmes, you insist upon seeing yourself as a machine." — John Watson. Do you believe this to be so? Or do you think that Dr. Watson is oversimplifying Holmes character based on previously solved cases? 3. What were your reactions to the realization of what the House of Silk was and what it entailed? Some early novelists insisted that murder was the worst of crimes: has murder been devalued so much that other things are needed to shock readers? 4.

  • The Mysterious Moor
    The Hound of the Baskervilles The Mysterious Moor The Lure of the Moor We often think of the English countryside as a pleasant land of forest and pasture, curbed by neat hedgerows and orderly gardens. But at higher elevations, a wilder landscape rears its head: the moor. Little thrives in any moor’s windy, rainy climate, leaving a rolling expanse of infertile wetlands dominated by tenacious gorse and grasses. Its harsh, chaotic weather, so inhospitable to human life, has nonetheless proved fertile ground for the many writers who’ve set their stories on its gloomy plain. A native of nearby Dorchester, Thomas Hardy set The Return of the Native, Tess of the D’Urbervilles, and other novels on the wild, haunted moor that D.H. Lawrence called “the real stuff of tragedy.” In Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights, the violent, passionate Catherine and Heathcliff seem to echo the moors that surround them. Dame Agatha Christie booked herself into the “large, dreary” Moorland Hotel to finish work on The Mysterious Affair at Styles, while Dartmoor is the setting for The Sittaford Mystery (1931). The moor’s atmospheric weather and desolate landscape lend an air of tragedy and mystery to all of these tales, as they do to The Hound of the Baskervilles. On Dartmoor’s windswept plain, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle found the legendary roots and the creepy backdrop of his most famous story. He took many liberties, changing the names of geographic localities and altering distances to suit his story, but even today, Sherlock Holmes fans are known to set out across the moor in search of the real counterparts of the fictional locale where the story took place.

  • NVS 12-1-13-Announcements-Page;
    Announcements: CFPs, conference notices, & current & forthcoming projects and publications of interest to neo-Victorian scholars (compiled by the NVS Assistant Editors) ***** CFPs: Journals, Special Issues & Collections (Entries that are only listed, without full details, were highlighted in a previous issue of NVS. Entries are listed in order of abstract/submission deadlines.) Penny Dreadfuls and the Gothic Edited Collection Abstracts due: 18 December 2020 Articles due: 30 April 2021 Famed for their scandalous content and supposed pernicious influence on a young readership, it is little wonder why the Victorian penny dreadful was derided by critics and, in many cases, censored or banned. These serialised texts, published between the 1830s until their eventual decline in the 1860s, were enormously popular, particularly with working-class readers. Neglecting these texts from Gothic literary criticism creates a vacuum of working-class Gothic texts which have, in many cases, cultural, literary and socio-political significance. This collection aims to redress this imbalance and critically assess these crucial works of literature. While some of these penny texts (i.e. String of Pearls, Mysteries of London, and Varney the Vampyre to name a few) are popularised and affiliated with the Gothic genre, many penny bloods and dreadfuls are obscured by these more notable texts. As well as these traditional pennys produced by such prolific authors as James Malcolm Rymer, Thomas Peckett Press, and George William MacArthur Reynolds, the objective of this collection is to bring the lesser-researched, and forgotten, texts from neglected authors into scholarly conversation with the Gothic tradition and their mainstream relations. This call for papers requests essays that explore these ephemeral and obscure texts in relevance to the Gothic mode and genre.
