Book excerpt: THE WOMAN IN BLACK BY EDMUND CLERICAL BENTLEY Trent's Last Case (US title The Woman in Black) is actually the first novel in which the gentleman detective Philip Trent appears. The novel is a detective story whose unique place in the history of detective fiction is because it is at the same time the first great sentiment of that genre itself: not only does Trent fall in love with a prime suspect - usually considered a no-no - he too, after painstakingly gathering all the evidence, he draws all the wrong conclusions. Convinced that he has tracked down the killer of a business tycoon who was killed in his mansion, during dinner he is told by the real culprit what errors in the logical deduction of the solution to the crime he committed. Hearing what really happened, Trent vows that he will never again attempt to dabble in crime detection. THE WOMAN IN BLACK BY EDMUND CLERICAL BENTLEY As The Woman in Black celebrates thirty years on stage, discover the truly terrifying classic English ghost story behind the play. Arthur Kipps, a junior solicitor, is summoned to attend the funeral of Mrs Alice Drablow, the sole inhabitant of Eel Marsh House. The house stands at the end of a causeway, wreathed in fog and mystery, but it is not until he glimpses a wasted young woman, dressed all in black, at the funeral, that a creeping sense of unease begins to take hold, a feeling deepened by the reluctance of the locals to talk of the woman in black – and her terrible purpose.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between what matters and what seems to matter, how should the world we know judge wisely? When the scheming, indomitable brain of Sigsbee Manderson was scattered by a shot from an unknown hand, that world lost nothing worth a single tear; it gained something memorable in a harsh reminder of the vanity of such wealth as this dead man had piled up-without making one loyal friend to mourn him, without doing an act that could help his memory to the least honor. But when the news of his end came, it seemed to those living in the great vortices of business as if the earth, too, shuddered under a blow. In all the lurid commercial history of his country there had been no figure that had so imposed itself upon the mind of the trading world. He had a niche apart in its temples.

Book Synopsis Reclaiming the Women of Britain's First Mission to West Africa: Three Lives Lost and Found by : Fiona Leach
Download or read book Reclaiming the Women of Britain's First Mission to West Africa: Three Lives Lost and Found written by Fiona Leach and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2018-11-26 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reclaiming the Women of Britain’s First Mission to Africa is the compelling story of three long-forgotten women, two white and one black, who lived, worked and died on the Church Missionary Society’s first overseas mission at the dawn of the nineteenth century. It was a time of momentous historical events: the birth of Britain’s missionary movement, the creation of its first African colony as a home for freed slaves, and abolition of the slave trade. Casting its long shadow over much of the women’s story was the protracted war with Napoleon. Taking as its starting point a cache of fifty letters from the three women, the book counters the prevailing narrative that early missionary endeavour was a uniquely European and male affair, and reveals the presence of a surprising number of women, among them several with very forceful personalities. Those who are interested in women’s life history, black history, the history of the slave trade and British evangelism will find this book immensely enjoyable.

Book Synopsis Trent's Last Case by : Edmund Clerihew Bentley
Download or read book Trent's Last Case written by Edmund Clerihew Bentley and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edmund Clerihew Bentley was born on July 10th in London and educated at St Paul's and Merton College, Oxford. Bentley worked as a journalist on several newspapers, including the Daily Telegraph. His first published collection of poetry in 1905, "Biography for Beginners," popularized the clerihew form (this was an irregular type of humourous verse, normally on biographical subjects) it was followed by two other collections, More Biography (1929) and Baseless Biography (1939). His detective novel, Trent's Last Case (1913), is the first modern mystery. It was much praised and admired by, among others, Dorothy L. Sayers. It features a dense, labyrinthine and mystifying plotting which was unusual for the time (which was between high brow novels and pulp fiction serials and magazines imprints) and aroused great interest. It was adapted into a film in 1920, 1929, and 1952. The success of the work inspired him, after 23 years, to write a sequel, Trent's Own Case (1936). There was also a book of Trent short stories, Trent Intervenes. From 1936 until 1949 Bentley was president of the Detection Club. He contributed to two crime stories for the club's radio serials broadcast in 1930 and 1931. E.C. Bentley died in 1956 in London at the age of 80.
