Hardback. Condizione: Good. When the skeleton remains of a young woman gone for twenty-seven years are unearthed from the cold depths of a small upstate New York town's picturesque lake--along with unmistakable proof of her murder--the long-dormant case of Kelly McShane Braden's strange disappearance is reactivatedAnd for two bereaved men, dark emotions and unsettling secrets will also be resurrectedKelly Braden had been a surrogate sister for local coroner DrMark Roper, who vows to find the lost parts of the past that will lead him to a killerWhen the police claim the trail of Kelly's disappearance is too cold to pick up again, he vows to find the missing pieces of the past that will lead him to a killerBecause that's what fractures cold cases: one guy who can't get it.Dr. Earl Garnet, chief of staff at Buffalo's StPaul's Hospital, was Kelly's secret lover and would-be rescuer until his efforts to save her from an abusive marriage were stopped short by her disappearanceNow, as the last person to see Kelly alive, he's in risk of becoming the lead suspect unless he can unmask the murderer first.But neither man is aware of the convoluted web of lies and deceit that led to Kelly's death--or the horrifying disclosures that were destined to accompany her to her watery grave. The more they press for answers, the easier it becomes for their lethal target to focus in on them--and respond with deadly force.From the first page of Mortal Remains, Peter Clement maintains complete grip over readers' nerves, wielding heart-pounding suspense and scalpel-sharp fear with the dexterity of a master surgeon.From the Hardcover edition of the book.…

Hardback. Condizione: Very Good. Cultural Authority in the Age of Whitman deals with narratives of cultural legitimation in nineteenth-century US literature, in a transatlantic context. Exploring how literary professionalism shapes romantic and modern cultural space, Leypoldt traces the nineteenth-century fusion of poetic radicalism with cultural nationalism from its beginnings in transatlantic early romanticism, to the poetry and poetics of Walt Whitman, and Whitman's modernist reinvention as an icon of a native avant-garde. Whitman made cultural nationalism compatible with the rhetorical needs of professional authorship by trying to hold national authenticity and literary authority in a single poetic vision. Yet the notion that his 'language experiment' transformed essential democratic experience into a genuine American aesthetics also owes much to Whitman's retrospective canonization. What Leypoldt calls Whitmanian authority is thus a transatlantic and transhistorical discursive construct that can be approached from four angles: this book begins with an overview of transatlantic contexts such as the 19th-century literary field (Bourdieu) and the romantic turn to expressivism (Taylor); a detailed analysis of how Whitman's positions develop from the intellectual habitus and cultural criticism of Ralph Waldo Emerson follows, and in a third section Whitmanian authority is located within three conceptual fields that function as contact zones for European and American theories of culture: romantic notions of national style as a kind of music; place-centered concepts of national aesthetics; and traditional ideas about the aesthetic effects of democratic institutions. The final section, on Whitman's reinvention between the 1870s and the 1940s, discusses how the heterogeneous nineteenth-century perceptions of Whitman's work were streamlined into a modernist version of Whitman's nationalist program.…
