Riverside
Riverside, in England. Four thirty on an unremarkable afternoon. An abandoned, dilapidated school at the end of Silverbell Street. As twenty-five-year-old Amabel will soon discover, this is no ordinary building - inside, the desks are all still in their place and chalk dust hangs in the air. All the clocks, from the one above the entrance to the grandfather clock in the hall, have stopped at nine nineteen, on an unknown day in an unknown year. What happened in that old school? What event was so earth-shattering to make time stop within its walls? And more importantly, who is that boy in school uniform that appears to Amabel, claiming to be a student at a school that hasn't been open in years?
El Regreso
Riverside, Reino Unido. Amabel ha vuelto a su casa y ya no recuerda nada de lo que ha vivido en el mundo paralelo. Sobre todo, no se acuerda de Damian. Pero él, atrapado en su mundo, no ha perdido la memoria e intenta desesperadamente reunirse con ella, a sabiendas que le tocará desafiar la ira del destino que está en contra de él y que por si era poco también le ha arrebatado a Megan, su mejor amiga y confidente. Mientras tanto, Amabel, que no recuerda nada en absoluto de su vida en la Lucretius Grammar School, vive su vida entre un trabajo que no le gusta y las tardes en las que juega con su amada sobrina, Magdalen. Sin embargo, el pasado está a punto de alcanzarla y pronto descubrirá que el colegio abandonado al fondo de Silverball Street no es lo que parece. Un joven con una americana azul, con un escudo de oro bordado en el bolsillo la está esperando, junto con un giro inesperado que cambiará para siempre su destino.
Industrial Literature and Authors
In recent years, the field of literary studies at international level has become more and more involved in the analysis of the so-called industrial literature, a literary genre which focuses on the literary representation of factory work and workers' alienation. This book engages in the on-going debate by offering a narratological analysis of Italian industrial novels in particular, while taking into consideration their paratexts and interrogating the possibility of the presence of a testimonial intent in the text. The study reconstructs the connections between visions of factory utopias and Italian industrial literature, starting with an overview on said visions of utopia and on how they ca...

The Hidden D. H. Lawrence
The Hidden D. H. Lawrence is a new study of the psychological and literary aspects of a great writer’s lyrical genius. It explores how Lawrence, when writing on his favorite subject, the relations between men and women, moved so quickly between heavy-handed exposition and deeply inspired prose, depending on the gender of the object of his attention. Nowhere is this clearer than in the three grand love scenes from Lady Chatterley’s Lover, those cut from the first American edition of 1932. In these scenes, Mellors, Lawrence’s usual alter ego, suddenly and almost magically becomes the object of attention, although now seen through the eyes of his female protagonist. It may seem as if Lawr...

Casa de muñecas
Riverside, Reino Unido. Amabel despierta en una realidad paralela que no le pertenece; no es fácil, pero consigue adaptarse a la situación y pronto empieza a sentirse a gusto entre sus alumnos de la Lucretius Grammar School, su amiga y colega Rachel y el impertinente Damian, uno de sus alumnos y su único contacto con el mundo al que realmente pertenece. Su nueva vida empieza a gustarle, pero no puede dejar de investigar sobre las razones de lo que la está pasando y encontrar la forma de regresar a su auténtica vida. Mientras tanto, la pesadilla de la muñeca rosa vuelve a visitarla después de seis años de silencio. Pronto Amabel descubrirá que el secreto de sus pesadillas se remonta a un antiguo cuento eslavo que tendrá que intentar conocer en todos sus detalles para comprender a fondo la situación en la que se ha visto involucrada a su pesar. Sin embargo, alguien se mueve en las sombras y Amabel tendrá que tener mucho cuidado: un solo error es suficiente para quebrar el equilibrio para siempre y hundir a Riverside en la ruina.

Silent Film Adaptations of Novels by British and American Women Writers, 1903-1929

Their content and production and distribution details are reconstructed through archival resources as individual narratives that, when considered collectively, constitute a broader narrative of lost knowle...
