Book Description
How long can a man of structure ignore a hoyden who unleashes fires long suppressed he didn’t know he possessed? Lady Rebecca Thatcher cares nothing for fashion or societal dictates. Her destiny in life is to fight for those less fortunate, be it woman, child, or animal. And when a young boy appears from the trees, clutching her skirts, addressing her as Mama with a vile villain on his heels, it incites every instinct in her to protect. With all his siblings now married, the Duke of Ryleigh can finally begin the task of locating a suitable bride of his own. But his well-ordered plans are thrown into chaos. On his way south to settle a matter with his youngest sister, he encounters a carriage with a broken wheel carrying none other than his sister’s long-ago schoolmate. She is just as he remembers—unwieldy and uncaring of what anyone thinks—and now? Unmarried with bastard children. Certainly not duchess material. Praise for The Duke's Detour “Absolutely delightful! Prepare to be swept away to Regency England and fall in love." ~Author Winning Author, Valerie Bowman “The Duke’s Detour is a wonderfully engaging romance. The plot is great but the characters—flawed yet sympathetic—are what really draws you in and makes the story unputdownable.

A Grammar of Murder
Author: Karla Oeler
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 0226617963
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 300
Book Description
The dark shadows and offscreen space that force us to imagine violence we cannot see. The real slaughter of animals spliced with the fictional killing of men. The missing countershot from the murder victim’s point of view. Such images, or absent images, Karla Oeler contends, distill how the murder scene challenges and changes film. Reexamining works by such filmmakers as Renoir, Hitchcock, Kubrick, Jarmusch, and Eisenstein, Oeler traces the murder scene’s intricate connections to the great breakthroughs in the theory and practice of montage and the formulation of the rules and syntax of Hollywood genre. She argues that murder plays such a central role in film because it mirrors, on multiple levels, the act of cinematic representation. Death and murder at once eradicate life and call attention to its former existence, just as cinema conveys both the reality and the absence of the objects it depicts. But murder shares with cinema not only this interplay between presence and absence, movement and stillness: unlike death, killing entails the deliberate reduction of a singular subject to a disposable object. Like cinema, it involves a crucial choice about what to cut and what to keep.
