Jane Austen and Crime

Jane Austen and Crime
Susannah Fullerton

A new approach to Jane Austen seemed impossible, but Susannah Fullerton . . . has brilliantly hit on the theme of crime and punishment in Austen. Fullerton shows how the Regency world . . . was really a dangerous place with a fast rising crime rate and a legal system that handed out ferocious sentences. Her book will be essential reading for every Janeite.”—Claire Tomalin, award-winning biographer, author of Jane Austen: A Life. More...

In the Steps of Thomas Hardy
Anne-Marie Edwards

They "Walked under a sky
Of blue with a leaf-wove awning of green
In the burn of August to paint the scene..."
"Under the Waterfall"

Few writers have captured the spirit of rural life and the majestic setting of an English landscape as brilliantly as Thomas Hardy, author of Far from the Madding Crowd and Tess of the d'Urbervilles. His books have inspired generations since they were written and he remains one of the most popular of English novelists and poets. We can follow his footsteps and those of his characters over windswept uplands and through quiet villages. Little has changed since Hardy was born near Dorchester more than 150 years ago. More...

Way Out Here in the Middle
John Roach

A ten-year slice of a Boomer's life. Award-winning screenwriter and columnist John Roach turns his keen eye to the soul of the Midwest in his first book of essays, Way Out Here in the Middle. Soccer dad, poker player, romantic—Roach delivers poignant and hilarious observations about life in the slow lane. He begins by extolling the virtues of turning the big 4-0: "I'm not afraid of sex. I don't have to live with nine other guys. My car starts." And is even more grateful to reach 50:,"Hell, the only reason I'm living is because of penicillin." John Roach is a Madison native and television producer. He co-wrote the screenplay for the movie, The Straight Story. The 50 columns in this book originally appeared in Madison Magazine. More...
