It's 1974. Detective Inspector Fatima Dieng has been in Shechester, the largest city in the northwest of England, for some time. She is feeling very frustrated. If it’s not the job, it’s the family. Things had been so much easier in that sleepy little West Country town where she, her husband, Adama, and their daughter, Hadidjatou, used to live, and where she had charge of a small, relatively smoothly functioning police station. Life had indeed been better in Silbury. Now her daughter was at university, and her husband just moped around the house all day without a job, without friends, and resentful of the antisocial hours that Fatima, no longer in uniform, has to keep. At work, in fact, things are really no better. The Shechester and Pepford Criminal Investigation Department has been split into a number of teams, each competing with the others for points awarded on successful conclusion of cases, leading to both the prospect of career advancement and the pick of juicier, higher profile cases in the future. Fatima’s team is the most racially diverse in all of Shechester and Pepford CID, not to mention the most talented and innovative, as one would expect, given Fatima’s own superior leadership capabilities. They are called upon to investigate some extremely complex cases, many of them having some connection to security threats posed by civil strife in Northern Ireland spilling over into many parts of the rest of the United Queendom. But, much like one of the local football teams, Shechester United, the team languishes at the bottom of the CID league table, largely due to running interference from Fatima’s superior officers and so-called colleagues in other teams. It all comes to a point where her very own future as a police officer looks to be in jeopardy. This is the third book in the series about the world of Inspector Fatima Dieng. The others were Silbury 1966 and Silbury 1969.

Max Maartinesz is a history professor. He is single and lives alone. Make of that what you will, is what he would say. His life is by and large ordered and very comfortable. But he always has the distinct impression that something is missing. Perhaps a bit of spice? Lillian Selby is a librarian. She works at the Manchester Central Library. She lives alone in a small maisonnette in Rusholme, which has been her home since she was an undergraduate at university. Her life is quiet, ordered, mostly solitary, quite mundane. Then they both go on the most hair-raising, life-threatening adventures, through the maleficent offices of Propitious Peregrinations ®. Although their separate experiences occur a quarter of a century apart, they learn that they have more in common than one might think. For instance, each took the trouble to set down in writing, for the edification of the general public, an account of their tribulations. Each also formed life altering connections that were equally all too abruptly severed. Now Max and Lillian proceed together on a common quest to tie up loose ends left hanging from their previous sojourns. Dare we hope that, this time, they might experience truly propitious peregrinations? Frankly, what are the odds?

In the dying days of 1850 the young detective Charles Maddox takes on a new case. His client? The only surviving son of the long-dead poet Percy Bysshe Shelley, and his wife Mary, author of Frankenstein. Charles soon finds himself being drawn into the bitter battle being waged over the poet's literary legacy, but then he makes a chance discovery that raises new doubts about the death of Shelley's first wife, Harriet, and he starts to question whether she did indeed kill herself, or whether what really happened was far more sinister than suicide. As he's drawn deeper into the tangled web of the past, Charles discovers darker and more disturbing secrets, until he comes face to face with the terrible possibility that his own great-uncle is implicated in a conspiracy to conceal the truth that stretches back more than thirty years. The story of the Shelleys is one of love and death, of loss and betrayal. In this follow-up to the acclaimed Tom-All-Alone's, Lynn Shepherd offers her own fictional version of that story, which suggests new and shocking answers to mysteries that still persist to this day, and have never yet been fully explained. Praise for Tom-All-Alone's: A brilliant and sinister remake of Bleak House, exposing the vicious underworld of Victorian London. Totally gripping. - John Carey. Dickens' s world described with modern precision. - The Times. Beaitifully written... an absorbing read - Literary Review. A necessary eye for squalor, meticulous research and deft plotting make this a book... you'll be guaranteed to enjoy. - Guardian.

Books in Motion addresses the hybrid, interstitial field of film adaptation. The introductory essay integrates a retrospective survey of the development of adaptation studies with a forceful argument about their centrality to any history of culture—any discussion, that is, of the transformation and transmission of texts and meanings in and across cultures. The thirteen especially composed essays that follow, organised into four sections headed ‘Paradoxes of Fidelity’, ‘Authors, Auteurs, Adaptation’, ‘Contexts, Intertexts, Adaptation’ and ‘Beyond Adaptation’, variously illustrate that claim by problematising the notion of fidelity, highlighting the role played by adaptation in relation to changing concepts of authorship and auteurism, exploring the extent to which the intelligibility of film adaptations is dependent on contextual and intertextual factors, and making a claim for the need to transcend any narrowly-defined concept of adaptation in the study of adaptation. Discussion ranges from adaptations of established classics like A Tale of Two Cities, Frankenstein, Henry V, Le temps retrouvé, Mansfield Park, Pride and Prejudice, ‘The Dead’ or Wuthering Heights, to contemporary (popular) texts/films like Bridget Jones’s Diary, Fools, The Governess, High Fidelity, The Hours, The Orchid Thief/Adaptation, the work of Doris Dörrie, the first Harry Potter novel/film, or the adaptations made by Alfred Hitchcock, Stanley Kubrick and Walt Disney. This book will appeal to both a specialised readership and to those accessing the dynamic field of adaptation studies for the first time.

Films recreating or addressing 'the past' - recent or distant, actual or imagined - have been a mainstay of British cinema since the silent era. From Elizabeth to Carry On Up The Khyber, and from the heritage-film debate to issues of authenticity and questions of genre, British Historical Cinema explores the ways in which British films have represented the past on screen, the issues they raise and the debates they have provoked. Discussing films from biopics to literary adaptations, and from depictions of Britain's colonial past to the re-imagining of recent decades in retro films such as Velvet Goldmine, a range of contributors ask whose history is being represented, from whose perspective, and why.

A Companion to Media Authorship “Gray and Johnson have brought together a stellar group of authors whose works deftly explicate the complexities of negotiating ‘authorship’ across a range of cultural production sites. This definitive collection is an important and long-overdue contribution to contemporary media studies.” Serra Tinic, author of On Location: Canada’s Television Industry in a Global Market “Wide-ranging and global, historical and contemporary, brimming with insights enlarging our understanding of media production and reception, this book is an important contribution to the study of authorship.” Michael Z. Newman, author of Indie: An American Film Culture While the idea of authorship has transcended the literary to play a meaningful role in the cultures of film, television, games, comics, and other emerging digital forms, our understanding of it is still too often limited to assumptions about solitary geniuses and individual creative expression. A Companion to Media Authorship is a ground-breaking collection that reframes media authorship as a question of culture in which authorship is as much a construction tied to authority and power as it is a constructive and creative force of its own. Gathering together the insights of leading media scholars and practitioners, 28 original chapters map the field of authorship in a cutting-edge, multi-perspective, and truly authoritative manner. The contributors develop new and innovative ways of thinking about the practices, attributions, and meanings of authorship. They situate and examine authorship within collaborative models of industrial production, socially networked media platforms, globally diverse traditions of creativity, complex consumption practices, and a host of institutional and social contexts. Together, the essays provide the definitive study on the subject by demonstrating that authorship is a field in which media culture can be transformed, revitalized, and reimagined.

This collection speaks to common themes and strategies in women's writing about their different worlds, from Margaret Cavendish's seventeenth-century Blazing World of the North Pole to the "men-less" islands of the French writer Scudery to the eighteenth- and nineteenth-century utopias of Shelley and Gaskell, and science fiction pulps, finishing with the more contemporary feminist fictions of Le Guin, Wittig, Piercy, and Michison. It shows that these fictions historically speak to each other and together amount to a literary tradition of women's writing about a better place.
