Wilkie Collins, Vera Caspary and the Evolution of the Casebook Novel
Wilkie Collins was one of the most popular novelists during England's Victorian era. While Collins scholarship has often focused on social issues, this critical study explores his formal ingenuity, particularly the novel of testimony constructed from epistolary fiction, trial reports and prose monologue. His innovations in form were later mirrored by Vera Caspary, who adapted The Woman in White three times into contemporary fiction. This text explores how the formal dialogue between Collins and Caspary has linked sensation fiction with noir thrillers and film noir.

I Lived with My Aunt
Using an emerald ring, handed down from aunt to niece the story follows a matrilineal line of an Australian family, from their escape from the Russian pogroms in the mid 1800s to modern day Queensland. While primarily a work of fiction, the more bizarre occurrences are based on real events that happened in the authors family. The author read an anecdote in the Readers Digest many years ago: A man was watching his wife bake a leg of ham & she chopped off the hock before putting in the pan. He asked her why she did that & she explained it was done that way, she didnt know why but her mother had always done it that way. He went to his mother-in-law and asked why? She explained she did not know, but her mother had always done it that way. He then visited his grandmother in law at the retirement home & asked her why she always cut off the hock before baking. The old lady replied, its the only way it would fit in the pan. The emerald also does not fit in the pan.
