Strange Sisters
Author: Francesca Orestano
Publisher: Peter Lang
ISBN: 9783039118403
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 332
Book Description
This collection of essays stems from the conference 'Nineteenth-Century Literature and Aesthetics', which was held at the University of Milan in 2006 and organised by the editors of this volume. The interface between word and image covered in these essays embraces the fields of literature, architecture, painting, photography, music and art criticism. The authors stress the role of aesthetics in a number of contexts ranging from the early 1830s to the fin de siècle and beyond, as far as the last influences of Victorian taste on the early years of the twentieth century. During the nineteenth century the ancient interaction between literature and aesthetics was challenged and criticised by Martineau, Rossetti, Ruskin, Pater, Wilde, Beardsley, Cameron and Carroll, among others: their awareness of the complexity of visual perception problematised the existing categories of realism, artistic conventions, discourse of description, translation and representation. The essays cover almost a century of debate between literature and aesthetics. They focus on the intersection of word and image by emphasising transgressions in art hierarchies, forms and languages, which restyle existing categories and project them into new aesthetic dimensions beyond the conventional idea of the sister arts.

Books 1-3 of the We Sisters Three Mystery series by USA Today bestselling author Melissa F. Miller are now available as a boxed set! Meet Rosemary, Sage, and Thyme, the wacky Field sisters, in three funny, fresh romantic mysteries. Rosemary's Gravy: Holistic personal chef Rosemary Field’s not a murderer. Heck, she’s barely even a chef. But when her miserable boss dies under suspicious circumstances, she’s the number one suspect. To save her reputation and stay out of prison, Rosemary has to find the real murderer. There’s no shortage of suspects, including a womanizing race car driver; a powerful music producer; Hollywood's hottest leading man; and, oh yeah, Felix, the dead woman's stepson—which gets a bit awkward when Rosemary starts dating him. Things go from bad to worse after a romantic dinner with Felix ends in food poisoning. Rosemary finds herself unattached, unemployed, and once again on the wrong side of the LAPD. She knows how to salvage an oversalted sauce, but can she salvage the disaster that is her life? Sage of Innocence: Sage Field loves being a nanny for the children of a PGA golfer. But when her boss is implicated in the murder of a rival golfer and loses his endorsement contracts, the family’s going to have to cut costs—and Sage's job is on the chopping block. Sage convinces Roman, his caddy, to help her clear their boss's name and keep their jobs. They unearth a secret that's been hidden for a quarter of a century, discover a box of cash, and stumble onto a blackmail scheme. In the process, Sage discovers that Roman's been keeping some secrets of his own. Sage and Roman will be lucky to save their lives, let alone their jobs. Thyme to Live: Yoga/Pilates instructor Thyme Field's tender heart gets her in trouble all the time—garden-variety trouble like adopting stray animals or volunteering to take the overnight shift at a telethon. But this time, she's in way over her head. When her client’s nanny disappears, Thyme gets suckered into helping Victor, the missing woman’s brother, search for her. Victor and Thyme stumble onto evidence that suggests she’s been murdered. But nothing's as it seems, and Victor's holding back information. As they hunt for Victor’s missing sister, they’re being hunted themselves and every step closer to the truth brings them another step closer to danger. After you’ve caught your breath and finished laughing, you’ll fall in love with the Field sisters!
