A Boston Bookstore at the Turn of the Century
A Boston Bookstore at the Turn of the Century BY FREDERIC G. MELCHER ^ liHE suggestion of this subject for a paper before the X. American Antiquarian Society was mine, and I appre- ciate the confidence of your Director that this subject might be made interesting and suitable. The history of the Ameri- can book trade has interested me increasingly as years have gone by. Sixty-one of them have passed since I accepted a chance to start work in the Boston bookshop of Lauriat, then Estes and Lauriat. I had prepared for Massachusetts Tech at Newton High School, but at the last moment had turned firmly against science and had decided to go to work, as college entrance then required more of Greek and Latin. Jobs were scarce in 1895 as the business cycle was at one of its low ebbs because of the "panic of '93" and the silver tide threatening from the West. That I turned, so fortunately for me, to retailing for a vocation, then considered without prestige or glamor, was due to the influence of my Grandfather Bartlett, who had inherited from Atkins uncles a part inter- est in a four-story French roof building at 301-305 Wash- ington Street, directly opposite the Old South Church, whose chief ground floor and basement tenant was Estes and Lauriat. The publishing department under Dana Estes had just moved to its newly erected building at 212 Summer Street, while the bookselling was continued under Mr. Lauriat at the 301 frontage on Washington Street. 38 AMERICAN ANTIQUARIAN SOCIETY [April, I have now been away from Boston forty years and more, but those first years are as clear and vivid as any of my sixty years with books. -

“My” Hero Or Epic Fail? Torchwood As Transnational Telefantasy
“My” Hero or Epic Fail? Torchwood as Transnational Telefantasy Melissa Beattie1 Recibido: 2016-09-19 Aprobado por pares: 2017-02-17 Enviado a pares: 2016-09-19 Aceptado: 2017-03-23 DOI: 10.5294/pacla.2017.20.3.7 Para citar este artículo / to reference this article / para citar este artigo Beattie, M. (2017). “My” hero or epic fail? Torchwood as transnational telefantasy. Palabra Clave, 20(3), 722-762. DOI: 10.5294/pacla.2017.20.3.7 Abstract Telefantasy series Torchwood (2006–2011, multiple production partners) was industrially and paratextually positioned as being Welsh, despite its frequent status as an international co-production. When, for series 4 (sub- titled Miracle Day, much as the miniseries produced as series 3 was subti- tled Children of Earth), the production (and diegesis) moved primarily to the United States as a co-production between BBC Worldwide and Amer- ican premium cable broadcaster Starz, fan response was negative from the announcement, with the series being termed Americanised in popular and academic discourse. This study, drawn from my doctoral research, which interrogates all of these assumptions via textual, industrial/contextual and audience analysis focusing upon ideological, aesthetic and interpretations of national identity representation, focuses upon the interactions between fan cultural capital and national cultural capital and how those interactions impact others of the myriad of reasons why the (re)glocalisation failed. It finds that, in part due to the competing public service and commercial ide- ologies of the BBC, Torchwood was a glocalised text from the beginning, de- spite its positioning as Welsh, which then became glocalised again in series 4. -
A Comparison of Nick Hornby's High Fidelity and Juliet, Naked
Hugvísindasvið Modern Love: A Comparison of Nick Hornby’s High Fidelity and Juliet, Naked. Ritgerð til B.A.-prófs Arnar Ásmundsson Maí 2011 Háskóli Íslands Hugvísindasvið Enska Modern Love: A Comparison of Nick Hornby’s High Fidelity and Juliet, Naked. Ritgerð til B.A.-prófs Arnar Ásmundsson Kt.: 230476-4389 Leiðbeinandi: Ingibjörg Ágústsdóttir Maí 2011 Abstract In 1995 Nick Hornby published his first novel, High Fidelity, a story about obsession, love and the complications of modern life. Hornby published Juliet, Naked in 2009, where he tackles similar topics to those in High Fidelity. A key difference between these novels is the presence of the Internet in Juliet, Naked, which is not featured in High Fidelity. A comparison of Juliet, Naked and High Fidelity offers an interesting insight into Hornby‟s vision of life before and after the spread of the Internet, and how it has affected the characters‟ obsessions, communication and their lives in general. This essay is, however, not limited to the changes the Internet has brought, as other topics are discussed in the essay‟s several chapters. The first chapter is a general introduction and is followed by a chapter containing background information on both Hornby and the novels, as well as illustrating how these novels were received by critics. The third chapter tackles a dominant theme in both books, obsession, especially male obsession with popular culture. The ensuing chapter deals with love and its complications, and how it is presented in both novels. The fifth chapter focuses on the Internet and the benefits and limitations it brings to modern life. -
