Book Description
“A colorful, action-packed tale filled with sinister doings and plenty of good old-fashioned heroics . . . An entertaining ride” set in colonial times (Criminal Element). In the winter of 1703, Matthew Corbett’s Manhattan neighborhood is shaken by explosions—and Matthew discovers his old nemesis, Professor Fell, will do anything he can to capture Matthew’s attention and obtain his services as a professional problem solver. As a result, Matthew travels from New York to Pendulum Island in the distant Bermudas, taking on various opponents in his quest to come face-to-face with the murderous and manipulative criminal mastermind . . . Filled with twists, turns, and an almost tangible sense of place, and featuring “a gang of villains that would make even Batman run for cover,” The Providence Rider is historical thriller writing at its finest, from a New York Times–bestselling, multiple award–winning author (Criminal Element). “A colorful and well-researched depiction of colonial America, enlivened by a rogues’ gallery of well-drawn characters . . . A rollicking good yarn.” —Publishers Weekly “This popular series takes us to a long forgotten time with characters who never fail to entertain.” —The Florida Times-Union

Author: Otherworldly John Dryden
Author: Jack M. ArmisteadPublisher: Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.
ISBN: 1472424972
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 201
Book Description
Reminding readers of John Dryden’s persistent use of occult rhetoric, Armistead argues that Dryden’s otherworldliness involves more than Christian apologetics, biblical typology, or intermittent borrowings from the supernatural materials in classical literature. Otherworldly John Dryden engages with a wide range of the writer’s poetry and plays, enhancing our understanding of Dryden’s works and tracing the writer’s attitudes about Providence and the ability of the poet to perceive a hidden design in earthly events.
