One of McCann’s points focuses on how the public’s “lust for blood” correlates with urban boredom-a concept that’s mirrored through a relationship between the tedious size of the novel and it’s escalation of the spectacle from parental secrets to child suicides. In “Marcus Clarke and the Society of the Spectacle: Reflections on Writing and Commodity Capitalism in Nineteenth-Century Melbourne,” Andrew McCann demonstrates how the “Peripatetic Philosopher”- one of Clarke’s more successful journalistic endeavors-and other selections reveal Clarke’s critique of the colonial Melbourne society and it’s fascination with the spectacle, which Clarke both caters to and critiques in his novel. While Marcus Clarke’s For the Term of His Natural Life is unquestionably a valuable contribution to Australian literature, his journalism career also deserves equal attention, particularly as an influential antecedent to the creation of his seminal text not only on a technical basis as John Conley details in “Marcus Clarke: The Romance of Reality”, but also as a social platform. has been trying to get a “Supergirl” movie off the ground for quite a few years now, with Joss Whedon at one point attached to take on the DC character.

Those are all the plot details we have at the moment, but “The Batman” does not exist within the DCEU as we know it (it’s in an “alternate universe” so to speak) so don’t expect Aquaman or Flash cameos. announced that Matt Reeves will return to write and direct a sequel with Robert Pattinson once again starring. Shortly after “The Batman” successfully rebooted the Batman franchise, Warner Bros. Lady Gaga will fill the role of Harley Quinn in what is being planned as a musical follow-up to the R-rated, $1 billion-grossing hit. Titled “Joker: Folie á Deux,” the new film is written by Scott Silver & Todd Phillips with Phillips once again directing. This one is set outside DCEU continuity but is perhaps the most anticipated title on this list, as Joaquin Phoenix won an Oscar for his performance in the 2019 film “Joker” and is now in talks to reprise the role in a sequel.

See Brewer’s Reader’s Handbook, Baring-Gould’s Curious Myths of the Middle Ages, Grimm’s Deutsche Sagen, and the Encyclopaedia Britannica.

Perfumed and decorated with gold, fetishized or tortured, powerful even beyond death, these medieval bodies are not passive and buried away they can still teach us what it means to be human. But the book’s broadness is also its strength, recasting Dark Age. Unfolding like a medieval pageant, and filled with saints, soldiers, caliphs, queens, monks and monstrous beasts, this book throws light on the medieval body from head to toe―revealing the surprisingly sophisticated medical knowledge of the time.īringing together medicine, art, music, politics, philosophy, religion, and social history, Hartnell's work is an excellent guide to what life was really like for the men and women who lived and died in the Middle Ages. In the Middle Ages, Hartnell writes, the body was everything to everyonea statement that holds true for any historical era. In this richly illustrated and unusual history, Jack Hartnell uncovers the fascinating ways in which people thought about, explored, and experienced their physical selves in the Middle Ages, from Constantinople to Cairo and Canterbury. And yet their lives were full of miraculous and richly metaphorical experiences radically different from our own, unfolding in a world where deadly wounds might be healed overnight by divine intervention, or where the heart of a king, plucked from his corpse, could be held aloft as a powerful symbol of political rule. Just like us, medieval men and women worried about growing old, got blisters and indigestion, fell in love, and had children. With wit, wisdom, and a sharp scalpel, Jack Hartnell dissects the medieval body and offers a remedy to our preconceptions.

You had been admitted to Zeta Tau Alpha, an elite Cal sorority *, but your parents wouldn't let you live there instead you were kept virtually under house arrest. They-particularly your mother-never let you forget it. They searched their consciences and, having decided that scandal was even worse than mortal sin, they paid the necessarily extravagant sum for a professional but illegal abortion. Your parents, of course, were devastated. And no wonder! You told me that you were raised a Roman Catholic and that you had been made pregnant while still in high school (you didn't want to talk about how or by whom). But you were as emotionally chaotic (your word) as you were intellectually brilliant. That really turned me on-I'd always been attracted to my intellectual or creative superiors.

I know I should have indulged in whiskey in a teacup literally, but the glass of red wine sounded more appealing at the time.ĭorothea always said that it was a combination of beauty and strength that made souther women “ Whiskey in a Teacup.” The other night, when my nose was a bit stuffy and I was a bit chilled, I threw on some pjs, my robe and grabbed a glass of wine and read from around page 25 all the way through. I started reading “Whiskey in a Teacup,” prior to our wedding, but with that crazy I didn’t get very far into it. What a book, and one I couldn’t put down. This rhythmic, read-aloud title is an unbridled celebration of the self-esteem, confidence, and swagger boys feel when they leave the barber’s chair-a tradition that places on their heads a figurative crown, beaming with jewels, that confirms their brilliance and worth and helps them not only love and accept themselves but also take a giant step toward caring how they present themselves to the world.
