Reconsiders the relationship between the Great War and modernism through women's literary representations of deathProvides the first sustained study of death and commemoration in women's literature in the wartime and postwar periodOffers a reconsideration of the relationship between the First World War and literary modernism through the lens of women's writing Considers the literary impact of the vast mortality of the First World War and the culture of war commemoration on British and American women's writingOne of the key questions of modern literature was the problem of what to do with the war dead. Through a series of case studies focusing on nurse narratives, Edith Wharton, Katherine Mansfield, H.D., and Virginia Woolf, as well as visual and material culture, this book provides the first sustained study of women's literary representations of death and the culture of war commemoration that underlie British and American literary modernism. Considering previously neglected writing by women in the war zones and at home, as well as the marginalised writings of well-known modernist authors, and drawing on international archival research, this book demonstrates the intertwining of modernist, war, and memorial culture, and broadens the canon of war writing.
Lin, a wandering singer, learns that his dual heritage from a ruling Min father and a magic-using Artist mother uniquely fits him to oppose the powerful evil spirit which is causing chaos in his land.

Other powerful forces aid him, but not even they can assure him of a good outcome. The choice is his—do nothing or pay the ultimate sacrifice.

Devin Yorke may look the part - she's young, gorgeous, and married to one of L.A.'s most desirable and powerful men - Paul Bradshaw, founder and owner of L.A. Garb, the largest clothes manufacturer in the country. Yet while she does add luster to the image of any man lucky enough to have her arm draped around his own, Devin Yorke is not a woman who fits the bill of Trophy Wife. She is a nineties woman who's got the brains to match her beauty, and the drive and ambition to rival any man - even her powerhouse husband. And now the lovely young Devin is at the end of her rope, tormented by her husband's coldness and infuriated by his arrogance and monumental ego." "On the very same day that Devin decides she can bear it no longer, Paul turns up dead. Her husband's recent decision to base his hot, new apparel division in South Central to help rebuild that riot-torn sector of Los Angeles had made his reputation soar to heroic proportions. But while the public grieves his loss, those close to him stand only to gain from his demise, making the list of suspects remarkably full. Sam, Paul's ne'er-do-well brother, is in line to inherit the business. His sex-pot assistant and former mistress, Alex, gets to hold onto her job - and maybe much more. There's a whole slew of scorned lovers, including tossed-aside ex-wife Rosemary, who have long harbored dreams of revenge. There's also a group of employees who are fed up with being cheated and have possibly been pushed aside one time too many; and, of course, there is his widow, Devin, who has the most to gain, and becomes the main murder suspect."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
