Book Description
This is the last work of Ernest Wilkins, one of the late 19th Century's most popular romantic novelists and serves as a testament to the strange happenings that surrounded this, the final chapter in his life. For from the pages of his novels a killer like no other has emerged. As Ernest, and his faithful friend Hamish race against time to piece together the clues that would see this person hang, it seems that their killer is always one step ahead, but as the chase begins all is not as it seems, for the evidence suggests that Estelle, the one-time heroine from his previous novels, has made the jump from fantasy to reality. Meanwhile, murders continue to take place in London - Murders committed in the name of his creation.

Book Description
The Knowledge Contract intervenes in the ongoing debates about the changing conditions of higher education in America, with a special focus on English studies and the humanities. This highly original study integrates three crucial concerns: the economic restructuring of higher education, the transformation of disciplinary models of teaching and research, and the rise of the academic labor movement. ø Whereas most contemporary critiques of higher education have focused on the impact of global economic forces, The Knowledge Contract adds a new dimension to the discussion by addressing the tensions between disciplinary and nondisciplinary forms of academic work. David B. Downing draws on several traditions of scholarship: histories of the university, sociological studies of education, critiques of disciplinary and interdisciplinary forms of work, histories of academic capitalism and the labor movement, and field-specific analyses of the history of English studies. Building on his analysis, Downing develops alternative possibilities to the dominance of disciplinary forms of labor and offers scenarios for creating more equitable working and learning conditions for faculty and students.
