Download or read book God and the Great Detective written by Nathanael T. Booth and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2023-10-16 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The problem of human evil is never far beneath the surface of mystery fiction. This was particularly true in the wake of the horrific events of World War II. One figure who set out to investigate this crisis was Ellery Queen. This book provides a much-needed intervention in the study of detective fiction by giving sustained attention to Ellery Queen as well as suggesting possible directions for broader discussions of the genre. After the war, Queen mounted an inquiry into the state of masculinity and of the world in the wake of unimaginable horrors represented by the death camps and the atomic bomb. During his investigation, Ellery rummaged through the ruins of culture, invoking and evoking figures such as Walt Whitman, Henry David Thoreau, and (naturally) Edgar Allan Poe. Ultimately, this quest brought him up against an unexpected foe: God himself. This book examines the ways Queen pushes against the boundaries of what was (and, in some circles, still is) considered possible or desirable in the genre.
Download or read book American Small Town Fiction 1940 1960 written by Nathanael T. Booth and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2019-01-10 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In literature and popular culture, small town America is often idealized as distilling the national spirit. Does the myth of the small town conceal deep-seated reactionary tendencies or does it contain the basis of a national re-imagining? During the period between 1940 and 1960, America underwent a great shift in self-mythologizing that can be charted through representations of small towns. Authors like Henry Bellamann and Grace Metalious continued the tradition of Sherwood Anderson in showing the small town--by extension, America itself--profoundly warping the souls of its citizens. Meanwhile, Ray Bradbury, Toshio Mori and Ross Lockridge, Jr., sought to identify the small town's potential for growth, away from the shadows cast by World War II toward a more inclusive, democratic future. Examined together, these works are key to understanding how mid-20th century America refashioned itself in light of a new postwar order, and how the literary small town both obscures and reveals contradictions at the heart of the American experience.

Alison, who never in her life fancied herself as an amateur sleuth-not until faced with this personal and national dilemma-plunges into the action with the help of cousin Lisa and other clan members.
Download or read book Ellery s Protest written by Stephen D. Solomon and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2010-03-25 with total page 437 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Solomon’s fascinating and sweeping history of the legal fight over mandatory school prayers is compelling, judicious, and elegantly written. Fabulous!” —David Rudenstine, Dean, Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law, Yeshiva University “Stephen Solomon’s Ellery’s Protest provides a brilliant analysis of a major Supreme Court decision that redefined the relationship between church and state almost a half century ago. This study goes well beyond simply offering a gripping account of the course of litigation that brought before the Justices the contentious issue of prayer and Bible reading in public schools, though the thoroughness of that account would merit careful reading by itself. Especially impressive is the author’s deep probing of hitherto neglected sources, and invaluable primary material including extensive direct contact with the plaintiff, the ‘Ellery’ of the book’s title. Finally, and perhaps most impressive, is Solomon’s careful placement of the issue and the case in a far broader context that is as critical to national life and policy today as it was four and a half decades ago when the high Court first tackled these questions.” —Robert O’Neil, Professor of Law, University of Virginia Great legal decisions often result from the heroic actions of average citizens. Ellery’s Protest is the story of how one student’s objection to mandatory school prayer and Bible reading led to one of the most controversial court cases of the twentieth century—and a decision that still reverberates in the battle over the role of religion in public life. Abington School District v. Schempp began its journey through the nation’s courts in 1956, when sixteen-year-old Ellery Schempp protested his public school’s compulsory prayer and Bible-reading period by reading silently from the Koran. Ejected from class for his actions, Schempp sued the school district. The Supreme Court’s decision in his favor was one of the most important rulings on religious freedom in our nation’s history. It prompted a conservative backlash that continues to this day, in the skirmishes over school prayer, the teaching of creationism and intelligent design, and the recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance with the phrase “under God.” Author Stephen D. Solomon tells the fascinating personal and legal drama of the Schempp case: the family’s struggle against the ugly reactions of neighbors, and the impassioned courtroom clashes as brilliant lawyers on both sides argued about the meaning of religious freedom. But Schempp was not the only case challenging religious exercises in the schools at the time, and Ellery’s Protest describes the race to the Supreme Court among the attorneys for four such cases, including one involving the colorful atheist Madalyn Murray. Solomon also explores the political, cultural, and religious roots of the controversy. Contrary to popular belief, liberal justices did not kick God out of the public schools. Bitter conflict over school Bible reading had long divided Protestants and Catholics in the United States. Eventually, it was the American people themselves who removed most religious exercises from public education as a more religiously diverse nation chose tolerance over sectarianism. Ellery’s Protest offers a vivid account of the case that embodied this change, and a reminder that conservative justices of the 1950s and 60s not only signed on to the Schempp decision, but strongly endorsed the separation of church and state.

Book excerpt: It was the moment Harold prayed for. The hopes and dreams mulled over for more than two years. Here was the promise kept, the guiding beacon in the most beautiful dress he had ever seen. The young couple were face to face, surrounded by lives renewed. Harold wrapped his sturdy fingers around Viola's dainty biceps, pulled her close, kissed her, and held her tighter than ever His longings faded and his heart swelled. Viola could hear and feel the strength of its thump against her ear. A few feet from them, a pot-bellied, capped, and bearded fisherman tossed sardines to frenzied seagulls above him. Years later, Viola recalled honing in on the seagull overture during their embrace and how she delighted in their melody over the rhythm of his heart. Harold took a small step back to wholly view her. It was then, she revealed - the moment she saw salvation in his eyes. He had stared the devil down on foreign soil. Soil that his pale, lanky frame, soft adolescent voice, and indefatigable avowal swore a generalship of righteousness on. Harold once told her, "Jesus found me fit. Fit to make use of my proposition." Years later, Harold told his congregation, "I survived and saw Viola's face...I heard her sweet voice. It was time to uphold my end of the deal." You are the flame east of Eden. It is time for you to shine, Seth!
