Wilkie Collins (1824-1889) is a major British Victorian novelist, dramatist, short story writer, and journalist. He is best known today as the author of ^IThe Moonstone,^R which T.S. Eliot called the first and greatest English detective novel. He has been the subject of two recent biographies, and a revival of interest in his works is now under way. In particular, there is growing concern with his intellectual development, as witnessed by the 1999 publication of his collected letters. This reconstruction of his library offers a thorough analysis of the books he owned and his response to them and thus illuminates Collins as a reader and writer.
The book begins with a narrative discussion of the contents of Collins's library and its auction. This introductory essay sheds light on the types of books he owned, his use of those texts in his writings, and the dispersion of his collection in 1890. The bulk of the volume provides annotated entries for each item from his library. Entries include publication and bibliographic information, descriptions from sale catalogs, information about the author of the item, citations of the book or author from Collins's letters, and information on the present location or subsequent history of the item. An appendix catalogs paintings and artwork in Collins's possession at the time of his death.

Every student of literature needs to understand how to use literary theory to analyse and interpret the text. Literary Theories challenges the out-dated notion that theory is something separable from the act of reading and interpretation and, believing that the best way to learn is through practical application, plunges the student into the midst of a range of critical readings. Clearly argued and lucidly written, these essays offer the student reader an interactive introduction to the ways in which contemporary literary theories challenge us to rethink interpretation, literary writing and critical reading.

Down The Tube: An Inside Account Of The Failure Of American Television

A detailed look at how, and why, the American financial system has reached its current state Today's economy and capital markets are faced with the long-term buildup of public and private credit. Furthermore, we face higher taxes, greater spending, and more debt. We are now at a critical crossroads and our leaders have few realistic solutions. Proposals calling for tax reforms or fewer regulations have fallen on deaf ears. In fact, U.S. democracy has become more socialist and reform is needed immediately. Endless Money is an examination of how the U.S. government and the country's financial systems have embraced socialism, and why cultural deterioration reinforces the trend and jeopardizes democracy. In it, author William Baker sees this socialism embodied in two things. The first is the socialization of income, the second is the socialization of credit. <ul>
<li>Explores the present socialistic qualities of the American government and its financial system</li> <li>Looks back at how today's conditions relate not just to the Great Depression, but ancient empires such as Rome</li> <li>Calls for radical changes such as reduced regulatory power of the Federal Reserve, a considerable devaluation of the dollar in terms of gold, and repeal of income tax</li> <li>Includes a Web site devoted to book, with recommendations, quotes from the financial community, and think tank contacts</li> </ul>
Insightful and informative, Endless Money examines our current economic condition and describes what the United States can do to get back on the right economic track.

George Eliot was one of the most important British novelists of the later 19th century. She was also a significant writer of novellas, poetry, essays, book-review-articles and translations. Despite this, although descriptive listings of first editions have appeared, there has been no extensive descriptive author bibliography. This text covers all her published writings, dealing with all traced printings of editions of her novels and other literary works that first appeared in print prior to her death in December 1880, in Great Britain and the United States of America. It deals more cursorily with subsequent printings of these editions, and with many translations of them, or editions in English, that have been published in other countries. It covers also the essays and review-articles, other miscellaneous writings, collected editions and unpublished writings subsequently published. The bibliography endeavours to set these writings in the contexts of the circumstances of their composition and early publication, and provides some guides to their contemporary reception, through listings of early reviews. It makes extensive use of printing-house and publication records, for British editions, and also of George Eliot's and her partner George Henry Lewes's correspondence, journals and notebooks. It takes account of extant manuscripts and proof-corrected copies, or critical editions of her works, and of biographical studies.
