Drawing on a range of archival materials, this book explores the
writing career of the poet, philosopher, art critic, and political
commentator T.E. Hulme, a key figure in British modernism. T.E.
Hulme and the Ideological Politics of Early Modernism reveals for
the first time the full extent of Hulme's relationship with New
Age, a leading radical journal before the Great War, focussing
particularly on his exchange of ideas with its editor, A.R. Orage.
Through a ground-breaking account of Hulme's reading in continental
literature, and his combative exchanges amongst the bohemian
networks of Edwardian London, Mead shows how 'the strange death of
Liberal England' coincided with Hulme's emergence as what T.S.
Eliot called 'the forerunner of... the twentieth century mind'.
Tracing his debts to French Symbolism, evolutionary psychology,
Neo-Royalism, and philosophical pragmatism, the book shows how
Hulme combined anarchist and conservative impulses in his journey
towards a 'religious attitude'. The result is a nuanced account of
Hulme's ideological politics, complicating the received view of his
work as proto-fascist.
The era of literary modernism coincided with a dramatic expansion
of broadcast media throughout Europe, which challenged avant-garde
writers with new modes of writing and provided them with a global
audience for their work. Historicizing these developments and
drawing on new sources for research - including the BBC archives
and other important collections - Broadcasting in the Modernist Era
explores the ways in which canonical writers engaged with the new
media of radio and television. Considering the interlinked areas of
broadcasting 'culture' and politics' in this period, the book
engages the radio writing and broadcasts of such writers as
Virginia Woolf, W. B. Yeats, Ezra Pound, T. S. Eliot, James Joyce,
George Orwell, E. M. Forster, J. B. Priestley, Dorothy L. Sayers,
David Jones and Jean-Paul Sartre. With chapters by leading
international scholars, the volume's empirical-based approach aims
to open up new avenues for understandings of radiogenic writing in
the mass-media age.
Dana Logan and Sarah Cafferty discover a woman's body floating face
up in a northern Texas RV resort lake when they arrive in their
motorhome. They find themselves suspects when the woman is
discovered to have been murdered, and they attempt to solve the
mystery while the real killer continues to leave evidence
incriminating them. Sheriff Walter Grayson comes to their rescue
when they're in danger of incarceration, but he also places himslf
in a killer's crosshairs. Four more bodies complicate the
investigation. This fifth novel in the Logan & Cafferty series
ties up loose ends from previous books although the story stands on
its own. Mystery/suspense, intrigue, humor and a little romance
inhaibt the novel.
