The subject of Roman scandal has been recounted at various points in all histories of Rome, but not in one unified place. Roman scandal often depended on the social class, not to mention the sex, of the perpetrator and that of the victim. As we survey the thousand year history of Rome and its western rump state stumbling into final oblivion in 476, one notes that it ran on the fuel of extreme violence and brutality, such as most modern people in the West have not had to deal with, at least since Hitler was defeated in 1945. Romans were continuously at war with foreigners, against tribes beyond the pale, and with each other in civil strife, for centuries. When the ruling elite were not plundering abroad to fuel the empire, they were plotting and killing each other in the palace, the Senate, and the Forum. In fact, they often combined the two pursuits all at once. Plunder gave them wealth and slaves, and with wealth came leisure, and in their leisure the Romans chose to entertain themselves with blood spectacles. Men and women fought to the death as gladiators in the Colosseum and hippodrome, and wild animals were killed for fun. Surely the depravity and excess that took place under the emperors proves not that success and luxury assured the empire's destruction, as Livy feared, but that the empire could function well enough to last several centuries, despite moral and political anarchy at the very top. Historian of empire, Dr. Frank H. Wallis, makes a valuable contribution to Roman studies based on the ancient authorities, including Tacitus, Suetonius, Herodian, Livy, Plutarch, Zosimus, Ammianus, Dio, Eutropius, Zonares, Josephus.

Espionage is the last thing on her mind when a young patriotic college graduate, Abby St. Giles travels to Washington to join in the war effort. But soon she finds herself one of the four thousand women who make up one fifth of the cloak and dagger skullduggery of OSS (the Office of Strategic Services), America's first central intelligence agency of World War II. When the murder of her friend, Suzanne, a Navy Lieutenant, implicates a suspicious "French diplomat," and a treasonous connection emerges to a prominent Senator, a top secret search begins for "Jana," code name of a German master spy whose network of operations is disrupting the allies efforts to destroy the German war machine. From America to Europe she joins her OSS colleagues in the tantalizing clandestine operations of intelligence, and discovers more about loyalty, sacrificial patriotism, and the horrors of war than she bargained for. But amidst the tragedy and devastation, she finds a depth of strength and an enduring faith which carries her through. A clinical, forensic psychologist and veteran of OSS, Dr. Margaret Emanuelson draws from her past experiences to weave her characters in and out of each other's lives in this fascinating, riveting, fast moving story of espionage, political intrigue, murder, treason, deception, patriotism, and love.

The Art of Scandal advances a relatively simple claim with far-reaching consequences for modernist studies: writers and readers throughout the early twentieth century revived the long-despised codes and habits of the roman á clef as a key part of that larger assault on Victorian realism we now call modernism. In the process, this resurgent genre took on a life of its own, reconfiguring the intricate relationship between literature, celebrity, and the law. Sean Latham summons cases of the novel's social notoriety--and the numerous legal scandals the form provoked--to articulate the material networks of reception and circulation through which modernism took shape, revealing a little explored popular history within its development. Producers as well as consumers used elements of the controversial roman á clef, a genre that challenges the idea of fiction as autonomous from the social and political world. In turn, this widespread practice provoked not only a generative aesthetic crisis, but also a gradually unfolding legal quandary that led Britain's highest courts to worry that fiction itself might be illegal. Modernism sat squarely, for a time, between literature and the law. With skillful close readings aided by extensive archival research, Latham illuminates the world of backbiting, gossip, litigation, and sensationalism through chapters on Oscar Wilde's trial, Joyce's Ulysses, celebrity salons, and Parisian bohemia. Original, colorful, and perceptive, The Art of Scandal both salvages the reputation of the roman á clef form and traces its curious itinerary through the early twentieth century. Seeking out the best new interdisciplinary work, this series explores the cultural bearings of literary modernism across multiple fields, geographies, symbolic forms, and media.

Latham proposes that writers and readers throughout the early 20th century revived the codes and habits of the roman à clef as part of a larger assault on Victorian realism - modernism. He elaborates a concept of modernism that weaves coterie culture with the mass media, psychology with celebrity, and literature with the law.
