»Houses, Secrets, and the Closet« investigates the literary production of masculinities and their relation to secrets and sexualities in 18th and 19th century fiction. It focusses on close readings of Gothic fiction, Sensation Novels, and tales by Horace Walpole, Ann Radcliffe, William Godwin, Mary Elizabeth Braddon, Wilkie Collins, and Henry James. The study approaches these texts through the lens of domestic space, gender, knowledge, and power. This approach serves to investigate the cultural roots of the ›closet‹ - the male homosexual secret - which reveals a more general notion of male secrecy in modern society. The study thus contributes to a better understanding of the cultural history of masculinities and sexualities.

This is a story written by an eighty-eight-year-old writer who loved the old farm where her grandfather lived and where she spent many happy days as a child while growing up. It is a fiction story about people that the writer put on the farm in her imagination and has no relation to anyone or anything that has ever happened on the farm or anywhere else in the writers life. In the story, Eve goes back to the farm to find that things there have drastically changed. And so she returns to find love, adventure, and danger. It is a story about childhood adventures, growing up on the farm, and life after leaving and returning to find strange and unexplained things that are going on at the farm. She runs into hidden danger and makes plans to find out what happened to her Uncle Ben and to protect her Aunt Edna from the danger she senses is there on the farm. The writer wrote the story while she spent several days alone recovering from an illness. This story came to her while she was thinking about the old farm and those who lived there many years ago. The farm was so important to her, but the older family members have all passed away and most of the farm has been broken up and sold off to others. The only family members left are grandchildren and their families. Today, the old home has been partially torn down, but the farm is a real place and a small part is still there. The writers children are growing old and have no interest in the farm, so everything will soon pass away. The drawings, as well as all of the writing, were done by the author. She hopes others will enjoy an imaginary trip back to the old farm while reading this book and have a little excitement and adventure while being there. You will probably love seeing Eves old homestead cottage and attending a Christmas wedding while reading this book.

A Wall Street Journal and Times Literary Supplement Book of the Year | Long-listed for the Plutarch Award A bold new biography of the legendary painter John Singer Sargent, stressing the unruly emotions and furtive desires that drove his innovative work and defined the transatlantic, fin de siècle culture he inhabited. A great American artist, John Singer Sargent is also an abiding enigma. While dressing like a businessman and crafting a highly respectable persona, he scandalized viewers on both sides of the Atlantic with the frankness and sensuality of his work. He charmed the nouveaux riches as well as the old money, but he reserved his greatest sympathies for Bedouins, Spanish dancers, and the gondoliers of Venice. At the height of his renown in Britain and America, he quit his lucrative portrait-painting career to concentrate on allegorical murals with religious themes—and on nude drawings of male models that he kept to himself. In The Grand Affair, the historian Paul Fisher offers a vivid life of the buttoned-up artist and his unbuttoned work. Sargent’s nervy, edgy portraits exposed illicit or dark feelings in himself and his sitters—feelings that high society on both sides of the Atlantic found fascinating and off-putting. Fisher traces Singer’s life from his wandering trans-European childhood to the salons of Paris, and the scandals and enthusiasms he caused, and on to London. There he mixed with eccentrics and aristocrats, and the likes of Henry James and Oscar Wilde, while at the same time forming a close relationship with a lightweight boxer who became his model, valet, and traveling partner. In later years, Sargent met up with his friend and patron Isabella Stewart Gardner around the world and devoted himself to a new model, the African American elevator operator and part-time contortionist Thomas McKeller, who would become the subject of some of Sargent’s most daring and powerful work. Illuminating Sargent’s restless itinerary, Fisher explores the enigmas of fin de siècle sexuality and art, fashioning a biography that grants the man and his paintings new and intense life.
