Melodrama is often seen as a blunt aesthetic tool tainted by its reliance on improbable situations, moral binaries, and overwhelming emotion, features that made it a likely ingredient of British imperial propaganda during the late nineteenth century. Yet, through its impact on many late-Victorian genres outside of the theater, melodrama developed a complicated relationship with British imperial discourse.
Melodramatic Imperial Writing positions melodrama as a vital aspect of works that underscored the contradictions and injustices of British imperialism. Beyond proving useful for authors constructing imperialist fantasies or supporting unjust policies, the melodramatic mode enabled writers to upset narratives of British imperial destiny and racial superiority.
Neil Hultgren explores a range of texts, from Dickens’s writing about the 1857 Sepoy Rebellion to W. E. Henley’s imperialist poetry and Olive Schreiner’s experimental fiction, in order to trace a new and complex history of British imperialism and the melodramatic mode in late-Victorian writing.

Описание:
Dutch by design from his father, American citizen by way of his mother, Jacob Weiner became a teacher, an undercover agent for Homeland Security,
and a male prostitute. The characters in this book may seem outrageous. Many of the situations may seem extreme, but neither the characters, nor the situations are any more outrageous or extreme than those encountered in real life. As such, however, this book about Jacob Weiner's life is intended for a mature adult audience.
This volume covers Jacob's life from birth to age 26, when he was sleep- walking through life, trying to make the best of what came his way. Because of his genetic mutation, which would forever be linked with his last name, many of his life experiences turned out to be less romantic than they were erotic. Because of his indomitable spirit, he transcended circumstances which would likely have killed other men. Inevitably, Jacob acquired a reputation which grew and expanded both nationally and internationally. In time, he would become so famous and worthy of respect that the Federal Government would acquire him as an important asset.

Описание:
This book is about the life of Cawta Crow, who lived 26 years (104 seasons), which is very long-lived for an American crow, especially for a male. It is a longitudinal study of his families, his friends, his enemies, and most of all, his experiences over those years. His co-author, Robert William Hult, has studied birds and their behavior for six decades, and as a result, makes the perfect bird whisperer for Cawta. American crows are one of the most readily identifiable and most common birds in both Canada and the United States. Their behavior is possibly the least studied of avians since they are wild birds. We know more about pigeons and other domesticated birds than we do about wild crows, and yet they are beneficial to man in numerous ways. This sometimes dramatic, sometimes comical exploration of crow behavior may make you laugh, possibly even make you cry. Join Cawta and his co-author for an enlightening look into the life of a very special bird.
