Book Synopsis The Girl Behind the Keys by : Tom Gallon
Download or read book The Girl Behind the Keys written by Tom Gallon and published by Broadview Press. This book was released on 2005-12-19 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “As the door was thrust open, I heard, as in a dream, the voice of Neal Larrard—calm and cool as ever—dictating to me; mechanically, my fingers touched the keys, and I began to type. While I did so, I felt that fearful dead thing pressing against my knees, and felt also the muzzle of the revolver hard against my side.” First published in 1903, The Girl Behind the Keys is a delightful example of early detective fiction in which Bella Thorn, a savvy young typist, foils the nefarious plans of her employer, a confidence man who exploits the hopes and fears infusing the popular imagination. As Arlene Young’s critical introduction demonstrates, the story unites many of the cultural and literary motifs marking the dawn of the twentieth century, when the Victorian era was giving way to modernity.

Book Synopsis The Typewriter Century by : Martyn Lyons
Download or read book The Typewriter Century written by Martyn Lyons and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2021-02-01 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book captures the intensity of the relationship between writers and their typewriters from the 1880s, when the machine was first commercialized, to the 1980s, when word-processing superseded it. Drawing on examples from the United States, Britain, Europe, and Australia, The Typewriter Century focuses on "celebrity writers," including Henry James, Jack Kerouac, Agatha Christie, Georges Simenon, and Erle Stanley Gardner, who wrote prolifically and mechanically, developing routines in which typing, handwriting, and dictation were each allotted important functions. The typewriter de-personalized the text; the office typewriter bureaucratized it. At the same time, some authors found a new and disturbing distance between themselves and their compositions while others believed the typewriter facilitated spontaneous and automatic typing. The Typewriter Century provides a cultural history of the typewriter, outlining the ways in which it can be considered an agent of change as well as demonstrating how it influenced all writers, canonical and otherwise.

Download or read book Working Girls written by Katherine Mullin and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-05-05 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Working Girls: Fiction, Sexuality, and Modernity investigates the significance of a new form of sexual identity at the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth century. Young women of the lower-middle and working classes were increasingly abandoning domestic service in favour of occupations of contested propriety. They inspired both moral unease and erotic fascination. Working Girls considers representations of four highly glamorised yet controversial types of women worker: telegraphists and typists (in newly-feminised offices), shop assistants (in the new department stores), and barmaids (in the new 'gin palaces' of major British cities). Economically emancipated (more or less) and liberated (more or less) from the protection and constraints of home and family, shop-girls, barmaids, typists, and telegraphists became mass media sensations. They energised a wide range of late-Victorian and Modernist fiction. This study will bring late-Victorian and Modernist British writers into intimate conversation with a substantial new archive of ephemeral sources often regarded as remote from high art and its concerns: popular fiction; music hall and musical comedy; beauty pageants and fairground exhibitions; visual art and early film; careers manuals; magazine and periodical journalism; moral reform crusades, Royal Commissions, and attempts at protective legislation. Working Girls argues that these seductive yet perilous young women helped writers negotiate anxieties about the state of literary culture in the United Kingdom. Crucially, they preoccupy novelists who were themselves beleaguered by anxieties over cultural capital, the shifting pressures of the literary marketplace, or controversies about the morality of fiction (often leading to the threat of censorship). In articulating questions about sexual integrity, Working Girls articulate often submerged questions about textual integrity and the role of the modern novel.

Download or read book The Enchanted Type-Writer written by John Kendrick Bangs and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-07-24 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Enchanted Type-WriterA spirit from Hades (not Hell. Hades) possessed our narrator's typewriter and told him how things just basically the same in the afterlife. People still went to work, there was an election and so on and so forth. The favorite part is when Baron Munchausen told the story that he was Adam, Noah, Jonah and Bill Shakespeare before he was born as Munchausen. The story is that virtually every author, artist and world leader ends up in the torment of Hades - where they essentially get to carry on - is so tongue in cheek it's hard not to laugh. Bangs must have had a load of fun writing this and must have had to end it just to bring what could have been an endless set of stories. Plot Summary: - The author finds and restores a dusty old typewriter. - It becomes haunted by a couple of the spirits of those Shades who have passed over the River Sticks. - After all, the news must be published, even down there. - An added attraction is the fact that the author can converse with the typist. The author by the spoken word and the spirit by the keyboard. The Enchanted Type-Writer is one of the books in the "Hades" series. The other two books are A Houseboat on the Styx and Pursuit of the Houseboat. The Enchanted Type-Writer stands alone; you do not have to have read the first two novels to enjoy it fully. The novels are written in Bangsian fantasy, a fantasy genre which concerns the use of famous literary or historical individuals and their interactions in the afterlife. It is named for John Kendrick Bangs who often wrote it. It's eccentric humor will have you chuckling all through. A good classic.
