Book excerpt: In the thirteenth historical adventure by Susanna Gregory, Chaloner faces a barrage of problems in the latest case for the 17th-century spy ----------------------------------- By January 1666, the plague has almost disappeared from London, leaving its surviving population diminished and in poverty. The resentment against those who had fled to the country turns to outrage as the court and its followers return, their licentiousness undiminished. The death of a well-connected physician, the mysterious sinking of a man-of-war in the Thames and the disappearance of a popular courtier are causing concern to Thomas Chaloner's employer. When instructed to investigate them all, he is irritated that he is prevented from gaining intelligence on the military preparations of the Dutch. Then he discovers common threads in all the cases, which seem linked to those planning to set a match to the powder keg of rebellion in the city. Battling a ferocious winter storm that causes serious damage to London's fabric, Chaloner is in a race against time to prevent the weakened city from utter destruction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the year 1875, a mysterious event occurred in the heart of Covent Garden that left the residents utterly perplexed. As the sun began to rise, its gentle rays cast a warm glow on the cobblestone streets. Sherlock Holmes, the brilliant private investigator, stood on the corner of Covent Garden, his sharp eyes surveying the crowd. With his unruly dark hair and piercing blue eyes, he seemed like a man who held the secrets of the world within his mind. Suddenly, a gasp rippled through the gathering crowd. All eyes turned towards the heart of Covent Garden, where the famous theater stood proudly for years. But something was amiss. The Covent Garden Theater had vanished without a trace! As if plucked from existence, the grand structure that had once hosted mesmerizing plays and captivating performances was now replaced by an empty space. Confusion and disbelief swept over the onlookers like a tidal wave. Holmes, his curiosity piqued, made his way towards the crowd. The air crackled with an electric tension as whispers of speculation filled the hushed atmosphere. A huddle of theater-goers, their faces etched with astonishment, murmured amongst themselves, seeking an explanation for the inexplicable. Holmes surveyed the area, his keen senses attuned to every minute detail. Pounding footsteps echoed through the streets as the local constables arrived, their uniforms crisp and their expressions filled with equal bewilderment. His eyes narrowed, Holmes knelt down, examining the spot where the theater once stood. Not a single remnant, not even a brick or a piece of rubble, provided a clue to its disappearance. It was as if the Covent Garden Theater had been put under a spell, vanishing into thin air. The detective's mind whirled with possibilities. Could it be an elaborate prank? A carefully crafted illusion? Or perhaps there was a sinister force at work, hiding behind the veil of mystery. Holmes stood up, a determined glint in his eyes. He knew that uncovering the truth behind the vanishing theater would be no easy task. But with his razor-sharp intellect and cunning deductions, he was ready to embark on this new investigation. The residents of Covent Garden watched in awe as Holmes strode purposefully through the crowd, leaving behind a sense of hope tinged with trepidation. They knew that their beloved detective would not rest until he unraveled the secret of Covent Garden. Little did they know, this was just the beginning of a case that would challenge Holmes's wits like never before. The secret of Covent Garden awaited him, and only time would tell if he could solve this perplexing mystery.

Download or read book A Dictionary of Sexual Language and Imagery in Shakespearean and Stuart Literature written by Gordon Williams and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2001-09-13 with total page 1650 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Providing an alphabetical listing of sexual language and locution in 16th and 17th-century English, this book draws especially on the more immediate literary modes: the theatre, broadside ballads, newsbooks and pamphlets. The aim is to assist the reader of Shakespearean and Stuart literature to identify metaphors and elucidate meanings; and more broadly, to chart, through illustrative quotation, shifting and recurrent linguistic patterns. Linguistic habit is closely bound up with the ideas and assumptions of a period, and the figurative language of sexuality across this period is highly illuminating of socio-cultural change as well as linguistic development. Thus the entries offer as much to those concerned with social history and the history of ideas as to the reader of Shakespeare or Dryden.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the No. 1 Sunday Times bestselling and prizewinning author of THE FIVE 'A fascinating expose of the seamy side of eighteenth century life' MAIL ON SUNDAY 'Rubenhold's pages practically reek with smelly, pox-ridden Georgian Soho' GUARDIAN ---------- In 1757, a down-and-out Irish poet, the head waiter at the Shakespear's Head Tavern in Covent Garden, and a celebrated London courtesan became bound together by the publication of a little book: Harris's List of Covent Garden Ladies. This salacious work - detailing the names and 'specialities' of the capital's sex-workers- became one of the eighteenth century's most scandalous bestsellers. Yet beyond its titillating passages lies a glimpse into the lives of those who lived and died by its profits - a tragicomic opera of the Georgian era, motivated by poverty, passionate love, aspiration and shame. In this modern and visceral narrative, historian Hallie Rubenhold reveals the story behind Harris's List of Covent Garden Ladies, and the legion of ordinary women whose lives in the sex trade history has chosen to ignore. ______ 'Scrupulously researched' DAILY TELEGRAPH 'Crackles with drama and tension' GUARDIAN 'Compelling and ingenious' INDEPENDENT WHAT READERS ARE SAYING: *****'Brilliant. Full of intelligent insight which brings this period to vibrant life' *****'A wonderful insight into sheer survival of women during this period' *****'A fascinating, breath-taking journey back in time'
