This Week's Acquisitions

  • C. Robert Wynne, Not Peace But a Sword (RTS, [1915?]).  Reprint of an 1897 novel about a young Protestant woman witnessing to an Irish family.  The last time I checked, however, "C." was not the appropriate initial for "George"--the author is George Robert Wynne.  This reprint belongs to one of the RTS' jury-rigged series, "Advance," along with a few earlier  novels by Emma Leslie and some twentieth-century novels published in 1915 (hence my guess about the date).  (Biblio)
  • Eugene McCabe, Death and Nightingales (Bloomsbury, 2002).  Reprint of McCabe's 1992 historical novel set in late-Victorian Ireland.  (eBay)
  • Suzy Anger, Victorian Interpretation (Cornell, 2006).  Studies hermeneutics in a number of disciplines, religious and otherwise.  (Amazon [secondhand])
  • Peter K. Garrett, Gothic Reflections: Narrative Force in Nineteenth-Century Fiction (Cornell, 2003).  Narratological connections between Gothic and classical realism.  (eBay)
