THIS IS HIS INCREDIBLE TRUE STORY  Bram Stoker and the Late Victorian World By Matthew Gibson, Sabine Lenore Müller 2019 | 280 Pages | ISBN: 1942954646 | PDF | 4 MB While Bram Stoker's fiction has been analysed the aim of this volume is to place Stoker's fiction in the context of his life and of his work, and the period in which he lived. As well as being the author of Dracula, he was also Acting Manager of the Lyceum Theatre, a qualified barrister, atheatre reviewer, and for the earliest part of his career a civil servant in Dublin. His work and enthusiasms took him into contact with many other areas of life, including politics and the visual arts, and his voracious appetite for reading give him an immense breadth of knowledge which informshis novels as well. Divided into three sets of three essays, the major subdivisions of this collection are Professions, Science and Technology, and Politics. In the first three essays, we have discussions of Stoker's relationship with the legal system, the visual and scenic arts, and his role asActing Manager at the Lyceum Theatre. The second section on Science has pieces on the use of Utopian and Dystopian technology in Dracula, the importance of the emerging profession of coroner to the same novel, and the importance of ecology to his fiction. The final Section, Politics, detailsStoker's attitudes towards the aristocracy, the frontiersman and global politics, as revealed through his novels.  Bodies and Bones: Feminist Rehearsal and Imagining Caribbean Belonging By Tanya L. Shields 2014 | 248 Pages | ISBN: 0813935962 | PDF | 11 MB In Bodies and Bones, Tanya Shields argues that a repeated engagement with the Caribbean's iconic and historic touchstones offers a new sense of (inter)national belonging that brings an alternative and dynamic vision to the gendered legacy of brutality against black bodies, flesh, and bone. Using a distinctive methodology she calls "feminist rehearsal" to chart the Caribbean's multiple and contradictory accounts of historical events, the author highlights the gendered and emergent connections between art, history, and belonging. By drawing on a significant range of genres―novels, short stories, poetry, plays, public statuary, and painting―Shields proposes innovative interpretations of the work of Grace Nichols, Pauline Melville, Fred D'Aguiar, Alejo Carpentier, Edwidge Danticat, Aimé Césaire, Marie-Hélène Cauvin, and Rose Marie Desruisseau. She shows how empathetic alliances can challenge both hierarchical institutions and regressive nationalisms and facilitate more democratic interaction.
