The Peculiar Life of Sundays
Author: Stephen MillerPublisher: Harvard University Press
ISBN: 0674041038
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 321
Book Description
Sunday observance in the Christian West was an important religious issue from late Antiquity until at least the early twentieth century. In England the subject was debated in Parliament for six centuries. During the reign of Charles I disagreements about Sunday observance were a factor in the Puritan flight from England. In America the Sunday question loomed large in the nation’s newspapers. In the nineteenth century, it was the lengthiest of our national debates—outlasting those of temperance and slavery. In a more secular age, many writers have been haunted by the afterlife of Sunday. Wallace Stevens speaks of the “peculiar life of Sundays.” For Kris Kristofferson “there’s something in a Sunday, / Makes a body feel alone.” From Augustine to Caesarius, through the Reformation and the Puritan flight from England, down through the ages to contemporary debates about Sunday worship, Stephen Miller explores the fascinating history of the Sabbath. He pays particular attention to the Sunday lives of a number of prominent British and American writers—and what they have had to say about Sunday. Miller examines such observant Christians as George Herbert, Samuel Johnson, Edmund Burke, Hannah More, and Jonathan Edwards. He also looks at the Sunday lives of non-practicing Christians, including Oliver Goldsmith, Joshua Reynolds, John Ruskin, and Robert Lowell, as well as a group of lapsed Christians, among them Edmund Gosse, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry Thoreau, and Wallace Stevens. Finally, he examines Walt Whitman’s complex relationship to Christianity. The result is a compelling study of the changing role of religion in Western culture.

Book Description
It’s the beginning of a new year in Montreal—1956. A mysterious American woman from St. Paul checks into a luxury hotel and is found in her room the next day dead from an apparent suicide. The police examine the scene, and the chief is eager to close the case. But something doesn’t add up. Her passport and driver’s license are missing. They begin to wonder why a woman would travel all the way to Montreal just to commit suicide. Lead detective Jack Macalister recruits his friend PI Eddie Wade to find the answer. Eddie travels to St. Paul to investigate her background and verify her identity only to discover that no one knows her. But someone doesn’t want him snooping around. After barely escaping with his life, Eddie continues the investigation in Montreal with his new partner and wife, Josette, and gathers enough evidence to move the case from suicide to murder. When they stumble across the woman’s true identity, chaos ensues as a local case of murder suddenly transforms into a potential international powder keg—all while a murderer lurks in the shadows. In this fourth book of the Montreal Murder Mystery series, both Eddie and Josette go after the killer in a relentless, unstoppable pursuit. They now know who he is; all they have to do is get him. Lovingate is a riveting story that unfolds with jarring momentum and endless suspense.
