Автор: Whelan Lara Baker Название: Class, Culture and Suburban Anxieties in the Victorian Era ISBN: 1138843563 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781138843561 Издательство: Taylor&Francis Рейтинг: Цена: 47970.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: This book demonstrates how representations of the Victorian suburb in mid- to late-nineteenth century British writing occasioned a literary sub-genre unique to this period, one that attempted to reassure readers that the suburb was a place where outsiders could be controlled and where middle-class values could be enforced. Whelan explores the dissonance created by the differences between the suburban ideal and suburban realities, recognizing the persistence of that ideal in the face of abundant evidence that it was hardly ever realized. She discusses evidence from primary and secondary sources about perceptions and realities of suburban living, showing what it meant to live in a "real" Victorian suburb. The book also demonstrates how the suburban ideal (with its elements of privacy, cleanliness, rus in urbe, and respectability), in its relation to culturally embedded ideas about the Beautiful and Picturesque, gained such a strong foothold in the Victorian middle class that contemplating its failure caused intense anxiety. Whelan goes on to trace the ways in which this anxiety is represented in literature.

Suburban Heathens follows the trajectory of parallel and converging catastrophes that begin with the AIDS crisis in the mid-1980s and the protagonist's best friend's death, and continue with her father's struggle with heart disease, actually made worse by medical interventions witnessed by the wandering lesbian daughter who is called home to a Jewish enclave in the suburbs of Shawnee Mission, Kansas, where she grew up--halfway between the Shawnee Indian Mission and the Osawatomie State Mental Hospital. The hospital melodrama brings to light the family history of displacement and immigration, heart disease (literal and metaphoric), cancer, death, struggle, and loss as well as recovery and regeneration as Rickie Lynn Jackson finds her relatives in Rochester, New York's famous Mount Hope Cemetery.

Описание: Young, handsome and manipulating, Lloyd Gil earns his living for he and his wife as a software account executive in Canyon Base. Everything appears perfect on the outside until police reopen a ten-year-old murder case in Gil's neighborhood. Gil is quickly reminded of his sexually deviant past, which lead to the death of Annabelle Phillips, a young, beautiful, educated and pregnant housewife. Gil remains confident he will stay under the police radar, but once another suburban housewife turns up dead, he finds himself at the heart of the investigation in both murders. To help in his defense, Gil enlists his estranged step-brother, a high-profile attorney while quickly earning notoriety as the "White Picket Fence Killer." When he meets another potential victim Eva Flores, she is instantly seduced by Gil, but torn because of his abusive ways that remind her of her childhood. Eva uses psychological games to try to save her own life and "fix" Gil, who harbors a rage he can't even begin to understand. Blending non-stop thrill and courtroom drama with a keen sense of the criminal justice system, The Suburban Seducci n explores how far a person will push the limits of justice. It raises important questions about in utero domestic violence and whether it can manifest in rage over time--or worse--murder. As first in a series of legal thrillers, The Suburban Seducci n featuring Lloyd Gil, will ask you to decide whether a murderer can ever be redeemed.

Anyone interested in astronomy battles with the conveniences of modern living – street lights, advertising and security lighting, tall buildings, and even the occasional tree. More than 85% of the population now lives in crowded and light-polluted towns and cities.
This book is for those who live in or near towns and cities and own relatively modest equipment, although observers with larger instruments will still find many of the target objects of interest. The book encourages the use of star-hopping techniques to find objects in the night sky.
Included is a list of 100 popular deep sky objects, ranked according to how difficult they are to find. Each object is described and has companion star-hopping charts, images and sometimes sketches. As a result, readers can gain a sense of their own backyard view from Earth. There is also a top 30 list of lunar objects, a section on planetary observing, annotated lists of popular astronomy apps and software, and tips on how to make the most of your location.
Stargazing Under Suburban Skies: A Star-Hopper’s Guide is the essential companion to what can be seen and how, regardless of the obstacles.

'Suburban space, the novel and Australian modernity' focuses on the dynamic interaction between suburbs and suburbia as this emerges in a century-long series of Australian novels - in works by Christina Stead, George Johnston, Elizabeth Harrower, Patrick White, Christos Tsiolkas and many other twentieth-century and contemporary writers. It puts the often trenchantly anti-suburban rhetoric found in these novels in dialogue with their evocative rendering of suburban place and time.
In the process, 'Suburban space, the novel and Australian modernity' rethinks perennial literary and cultural debates about suburbia - in Australia and elsewhere. It does so by putting fictional 'suburbs' (their multitude of imagined interiors, homes, streets, forms and lives over time) into dialogue with cosmopolitan resistance towards the very idea of 'suburbia' as an amnesic and conformist cultural wasteland. 'Suburban space, the novel and Australian modernity' explores the generative collision produced in novels between the sensory remembered terrain of the primal suburb and wider cultural critiques of suburbia. It is through such contradictions that novels create resonant mental maps of suburban place and time. Australian novels, in other words, serve as a prism through which suburbs - real and imagined, remembered and utterly transformed - can be glimpsed sidelong.
'Suburban space, the novel and Australian modernity' is a coinage that highlights both the persistence and the renovation of literary forms by means of the suburb. The suburbs prompt writers to experiment with the forms of the novel. The very scale of the suburb is productive, enabling narratives to slide readily from microcosm to macrocosm, from the domestic interior to the globe. Like suburbia, the novel is a form that is both generic and specific, circulating transnationally yet taking root locally. The term 'retro' also refers to acts of narrative retrospection. Novels about suburbs often play with time, looking into the past in order to summon what is lost. 'Retro-Suburbia' enacts a retrospective of Australian literary suburbia that reorients understanding of the political, cultural and literary significance of the suburbs.
