Sherlock Holmes

Who is Holmes? The world's most famous detective? A drug addict with a heart as cold as ice? A millstone around the neck of his creator? He's all of these things and much, much more. An iconic fictional creation, inseparable from his partner-in-crime Dr John Watson, Sherlock Holmes has charmed and fascinated millions of people around the world since his first appearance over a century ago. This book takes a look at the extensive collection of Sherlock stories penned by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, as well as some of the sleuth's stage and screen incarnations.

Atthis early stage he doesn't suspect Holmes of drugtaking. The bull pup he

Arabic Literature

An Overview

Assuming no previous knowledge of the subject, Arabic Literature - An Overview gives a rounded and balanced view of Arab literary creativity. 'High' literature is examined alongside popular folk literature, and the classical and modern periods, usually treated separately, are presented together. Cachia's observations are not subordinated to any pre-formed literary theory, but describe and illustrate the directions taken, in order to present an overall picture of the field of relevance to the student of literature as well as to Arabists working in related fields.

Pierre Cachia's introduction to the various forms of Arabic literature is not restricted to any set literary theory. The author describes and illustrates the directions the literature has taken over the ages.

The Ethics of William Carlos Williams's Poetry

The poet as an inheritor of an Emersonian tradition, and Paterson as an ethical autobiography in progress.

(47) In stressing the connection between divine ideals and more mundane acts of
sincerity, devotion, duty, and conscience, Badger insists that he does not mean to
make any intangible mysticism of this; I am not referring to an occult presence of
God in Nature or life. I only want to call every voice that summons us to worthier
living, everything in life that has uplifting power, that suggests nobler and truer
ways of being manly and womanly, everything in life that may open a way out of a

The Theatre and Films of Jez Butterworth

Jez Butterworth is the most critically acclaimed and commercially successful new British dramatist of the 21st century: his acclaimed play Jerusalem has had extended runs in the West End and on Broadway. This book is the first to examine Butterworth's writings for stage and film and to identify how and why his work appeals so widely and profoundly. It examines the way that he weaves suspenseful stories of eccentric outsiders, whose adventures echo widespread contemporary social anxieties, and involve surprising expressions of both violence and generosity. This book reveals how Butterworth unearths the strange forms of wildness and defiance lurking in the depths and at the edges of England: where unpredictable outbursts of humour highlight the intensity of life, and characters discover links between their haunting past and the uncertainties of the present, to create a meaningful future. Supplemented by essays from James D. Balestrieri and Elisabeth Angel-Perez, this is a clear and detailed source of reference for a new generation of theatre audiences, practitioners and directors who wish to explore the work of this seminal dramatist.

The Prose Literature of the Gaelic Revival, 1881-1921

Ideology and Innovation

The Gaelic Revival has long fascinated scholars of political history, nationalism, literature, and theater history, yet studies of the period have neglected a significant dimension of Ireland's evolution into nationhood: the cultural crusades mounted by those who believed in the centrality of the Irish language to the emergent Irish state. This book attempts to remedy that deficiency and to present the lively debates within the language movement in their full complexity, citing documents such as editorials, columns, speeches, letters, and literary works that were influential at the time but all too often were published only in Irish or were difficult to access. Cautiously employing the terms &"nativist&" and &"progressive&" for the turnings inward and toward the European continent manifested in different authors, this study examines the strengths and weaknesses of contrasting positions on the major issues confronting the language movement. Moving from the early collecting or retelling of folklore through the search for heroes in early Irish history to the reworking of ancient Irish literary materials by retelling it in modern vernacular Irish, O'Leary addresses the many debates and questions concerning Irish writing of the period. His study is a model for inquiries into the kind of linguistic-literary movement that arises during intense nationalism.

In the United States, I would first like to thank my colleagues in the Irish Studies
Program at Boston College, especially Adele Dalsimer, and also Charles Dunn,
John Koch, John Carey, and most especially John V. Kelleher of the Department
of Celtic Languages and Literatures at Harvard University as well as the regular
participants in Harvard's Celtic seminars and annual Celtic colloquium. Of this
group I must single out Kenneth Nilsen and William Mahon for special thanks.
