Critical Reflections
This volume seeks to explore developments in the study of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Spanish literature over the past decade through the prism of a homage volume that recognizes the contributions of James A. Parr. In his ground-breaking 1974 essay in Hispania, he challenged Hispanists to take note of developments in the fields of English and Comparative Studies, not to jump on the bandwagon, but to explore the emerging approaches to textual study in order to identify and adapt those aspects that could help to illuminate the field. In his own work, Parr followed that advice, with studies that incorporated new approaches to genre theory, narratology, and canonicity in order to explore dramatic and prose texts, and Don Quixote. The studies in this anthology make use of many of Parr's innovations, indicating that his work has had a long-lasting impact on the field of Golden Age Hispanism.
Deferral of Guilt

As detectives Pat O'Donnell and Alex Paterson piece together a story of murder, rape, blackmail and revenge each man is pursued by his own private demons. For both have guilty secrets which threaten to overwhelm them before their investigation is completed.
Seeds of Doubt
Why would anyone want to murder Susan Linton? The British stage actress was just beginning to make her name in Hollywood when her career was cut cruelly short by a riding accident, leaving her confined to a wheelchair. Yet on the day before Easter she is found dead by her housekeeper with multiple stab wounds. Was this the random act of a drug crazed intruder, or was she murdered by someone she knew? Her former husband perhaps, recently released from prison for underage internet grooming. Or Paul, a devoted fan, but a loner with a long history of mental illness. As Detective Inspector Steve Straker sets out to find the murderer, he faces a crisis in his own life. He and Emily are not getting on and he suspects she may be having an affair. In the coming days, with pressure mounting both at work and at home, Straker finds that he has to revise several assumptions - about colleagues, about witnesses and most of all, about himself.

Catherine Parr
Romantic, chaotic and terrifying, Catherine Parr's life unfolds like a romance novel. Married at seventeen to the grandson of a confirmed lunatic and widowed at twenty, Catherine chose a Yorkshire lord twice her age as her second husband. Caught up in the turbulent terrors of the Pilgrimage of Grace in 1536, she was captured by northern rebels, held hostage and suffered violence at their hands. Fleeing to the south shortly afterward, Catherine took refuge in the household of Princess Mary and in the arms of the king's brother-in-law, Sir Thomas Seymour. Her employment in Mary's household brought her to the attention of Mary's father, the unpredictable, often-wed Henry VIII. Desperately in love with Seymour, Catherine was forced into marriage with a king whose passion for her could not be hidden and who was determined to make her his queen.
