Bloody Murder
Author: Michelle Ann Abate
Publisher: JHU Press
ISBN: 1421408414
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 279
Book Description
"Off with her head!" decreed the Queen of Hearts, one of a multitude of murderous villains populating the pages of children's literature explored in this volume. Given the long-standing belief that children ought to be shielded from disturbing life events, it is surprising to see how many stories for kids involve killing. Bloody Murder is the first full-length critical study of this pervasive theme of murder in children’s literature. Through rereadings of well-known works, such as Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, the Nancy Drew Mystery Stories, and The Outsiders, Michelle Ann Abate explores how acts of homicide connect these works with an array of previously unforeseen literary, social, political, and cultural issues. Topics range from changes in the America criminal justice system, the rise of forensic science, and shifting attitudes about crime and punishment to changing cultural conceptions about the nature of evil and the different ways that murder has been popularly presented and socially interpreted. Bloody Murder adds to the body of inquiry into America's ongoing fascination with violent crime. Abate argues that when narratives for children are considered along with other representations of homicide in the United States, they not only provide a more accurate portrait of the range, depth, and variety of crime literature, they also alter existing ideas about the meaning of violence, the emotional appeal of fear, and the cultural construction of death and dying.

Psychology of Ethics
Author: John Morris Dorsey
Publisher: Wayne State University Press
ISBN: 9780814316399
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 308
Book Description
"Dr. Dorsey's book is an autobiographical accounting, to his self, of his systematic development and control of his mental power. It describes his way of spending his life as amounting to his methodically saving it. His professional work (psychoanalytic) demands that he recognize only his personal self identity originating in all this research and treatment of every description. His is a bold and able defense of every religion and ethic of his fellowman. He finds man is by nature an ethical whole individual whose greatest enjoyment and control of his power derives from his gradually disciplining his mind with the truth of his wholeness. This specific whole life appreciation is capable of uniting every ethic in a single allegiance. He describes total self helpfulness for ideal self fulfillment as the sure source of responsible life understanding that compels the religious awe, wonder and loving solicitude characteristic of a soul that finds itself."-Publisher.
