These two authors penned tales of crime, insanity, and the supernatural. While some stories are lighter in tone (like The Ghost-Ship and The Amazing Hieroglyphics), many leap straight into the darkness via murder and madness. In The Conjurer, a magician finds his trick works too well, in The Coffin Merchant, salesmanship reaches a whole new level, in The Moon-Slave, a princess is led by her love for dance to make a very rash vow, in The Undyin...

The project of developing a contextual theology for the Caribbean was first articulated in the early 1970s in Trinidad and Jamaica. In the years since, many evangelical churches and theologians in the Caribbean have been ambivalent about the validity of this project, assuming that an emphasis on context was somehow antithetical to the pure gospel. But the crisis of the times, along with a more mature hermeneutic, has led to a re-evaluation of ...

Offers a deeply informed take on a key Christian doctrine and its interpretation and relevance today.

Voicing the Popular brings together aspects of political economy, cultural history, and musical interpretation to examine the rise of popular music over the past 50 years. A unifying theme is that of "voice, " by which Middleton means the sphere of vocality through which popular songs are delivered, as well as a broader, metaphorical sense of "voice" as a vehicle through which subjects articulate, understand, and represent identities and perso...

Excerpt from The Day Before Yesterday When elder brothers insisted on their rights with undue harshness, or when the grownup people descended from Olympus with a tiresome tale of broken furniture and torn clothes, the groundlings of the schoolroom went into retreat. In summer-time this was an easy matter, once fairly escaped into the garden, any climbable tree or shady shrub provided us with a hermitage. There was a hollow tree-stump full of ...

A little question asked at dusk by one Who gently hoped a meaning in it all, And failing ever, strove to keep the sun Upon the western wall. I have not dreamed the magic of a kiss To gild the judgment of the unshapen kings On loveless themes ...

Excerpt from Monologues A fit medium of expression for tranquil minds, they reveal with a careless generosity the mind emotions and placid processes of thought that give them birth. The delicately ¿attered reader feels that the essayist is guarding no Bluebeard's chamber Of the mind. As far as the hospitable writer has himself explored it, so far are its dim corri dors open to his inquiring eyes. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishe...
