The Boxer & the Poet: Something of a Romance

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Thayer, James, PUBLISHER: Black Lyon Publishing, Nationally renowned author, James Thayer's brilliant crossover into the literary love story arena Locked in a desk for decades, a lost poem destined to bring together the unlikeliest of partners... He'd been wrecked but good this time. At thirty-four, down-and-out boxer Dennis Jones is loveless, motherless, penniless and directionless. When he opens his eyes after a particularly brutal fight, he sees a raven-haired, blue-eyed demon in the guise of an angel. What she wants to do to his life is laughable, insane. Yet what does he have to lose? New Orleans Garden District socialite and poetry professor Isobel Autrey needs a fighter. One who will do what she wants with no questions asked. Someone who can cut through the obstacles between her and Edgar Allan Poe's last, undiscovered great work. Weaving through ancient secret society rites, boxing rings, the New Orleans underbelly and right back to high society, Dennis and Isobel embark on a quest to revamp his life, find the poem and possibly discover each other. If they make it-it'll be close. REVIEWS: "Thayer steps out of the ordinary and into the extraordinary with The Boxer & the Poet - a unique, captivating plot with powerful characters you can feel. Masterful, magical, and compelling. I couldn't turn the pages fast enough." Debby Schoeningh, Editor The Record-Courier.,." a fantastic and fast paced adventure filled with so many interesting and fascinating characters. This book keeps you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end, wondering what will happen next. The chemistry between the weary battle-scarred boxer Dennis and the beautiful socialite Isobel is mesmerizing. If you've enjoyed James Thayer's books in the past thenthis one, his first but hopefully not his last attempt at a romance, will delight you." Kasey's View " Thayer's] writing is smooth and clear... It wastes no words, and it has a rhythm that only confident stylists achieve." The New York Times Book Review (of previous work)

The Secular Scripture: A Study of the Structure of Romance

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Frye, Northrop, PUBLISHER: Harvard University Press, Northrop Frye's thinking has had a pervasive impact on contemporary interpretations of our literary and cultural heritage. In his "Anatomy of Criticism," a landmark in the history of modern critical theory, he demonstrated his genius for mapping out the realm of imaginative creation. In "The Secular Scripture" he turns again to the task of establishing a broad theoretical framework, bringing to bear his extraordinary command of the whole range of literature from antiquity to the present. Romance, a mode of literature trafficking in such plot elements as mistaken identity, shipwrecks, magic potions, the rescue of maidens in distress, has tended to be regarded as hardly deserving of serious consideration; critics praise other aspects of the "Odyssey," "The Faerie Queene," Shakespeare's last plays, and Scott's "Waverley" novels, for example, while forgiving the authors' indulgence in childishly romantic plots. Frye, however, discerns in the innumerable romantic narratives of the Western tradition an imaginative universe stretching from an idyllic world to a demonic one, and a pattern of action taking the form of a cyclical descent into and ascent out of the demonic realm. Romance as a whole is thus seen as forming an integrated vision of the world, a "secular scripture" whose hero is man, paralleling the sacred scripture whose hero is God. The clarity of Northrop Frye's perception, the scope and suggestiveness of his conceptualizing, the wit and grace of his style, have won him universal admiration.
