![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Beginning with his seminal work, Metahistory: The Historical Imagination in Nineteenth-Century Europe (1973) and continuing in his collections Tropics of Discourse: Essays in Cultural Criticism (1978), The Content of the Form: Narrative Discourse and Historical Representation (1987), and Figural Realism: Studies in the Mimesis Effect (1999), White has methodically, at times brilliantly, elaborated a position that calls into question the very concept of historical knowledge by interrogating the discursive basis of historiography, both its epistemological foundations and the deep structure of its linguistic tropes and narrative devices. Indeed, one scholar writes that we "would have to return to the nineteenth century to find a thinker who has had a greater impact on the way we think about historical representation, the discipline of history, and on how historiography intersects with other domains of inquiry" (Doran 1). Tolstoy ( 188, cited in Berlin 31) Hayden White has dedicated his career to debunking common assumptions about the nature of historiography and the role and function of historians. "History would be an excellent thing if only it were true." ![]() ![]() ![]() New York Times best-seller Quick delivers another fascinating addition to her original and spellbinding Victorian-era series about the Arcane Society, a 200-year-old secret organization founded by an alchemist and devoted to paranormal research. To help her find the real murderer, she hires Caleb Jones, a "psychical investigator." Believing there is a connection between Lucinda's fern thief and a deadly dangerous secret society, Caleb agrees to take the case, but he never expected to become so distracted by his new partner in detection or to find himself flummoxed on so many fronts. Lucinda frequently used her unusual psychic gift to discern death by poisoning to help the London police, but when a nobleman is poisoned by a compound containing elements of a rare fern, one that can only be found in her conservatory, Lucinda knows she better act quickly. If Lucinda Bromley doesn't discover who stole her fern, she could end up being charged with murder.

I’d grown up in the coastal town on the New South Wales mid-coast, went to school there, but moved to Sydney for uni and stayed there ![]() I’d moved back to Newcastle six months ago. I was pretty fit for a big guy and my protective gear, strapped tight to my chest and shoulders, flaunted the fact I’d had nothing but time to work out since I left Sydney. My short black hair was a spiky mess, and my dark brown eyes seemed a little dull. ![]() Isat on the bench seat in the dressing room, and oblivious to the noise around me, caught sight of myself in the mirror.
