revdorothyl at 07:01pm on 13/07/2005 under regency romanceI just searched for all Georgette Heyer titles on Amazon.com, for a lark (and to make sure I'm not missing any), and came across this volume, published in 2001:
Georgette Heyer: A Critical Retrospective (Paperback) by Mary Fahnestock-Thomas
544 pages, Prinnyworld Press (March 1, 2001)
Book Description:
Fully indexed collection of articles on the popular author's works, addressing such subjects as "'What Fun!' Detection as Diversion"; "Georgette Heyer and the Uses of Regency"; "Cross-Dressing in Wartime: Georgette Heyer's THE CORINTHIAN in its 1940 Context"; "Gendering Places: Georgette Heyer's Cultural Topography," to name only a few.
From the Inside Flap:
Georgette Heyer (1902-1974) wrote 56 best-selling novels over the course of a career that spanned over 50 years, yet she remains one of the most overlooked authors of the 20th century. Mary Fahnestock-Thomas seeks to rectify the error with this unique compilation. At once a scholarly work and a labor of love, this remarkable collection includes:
* 3 short stories and 3 essays written by Georgette Heyer which have never been published in the U.S.
* Over 200 book reviews dating from 1921 to 1989
* 35 articles and excerpts addressing various aspects of Heyer's work
* 12 movie and theater reviews of productions based on Heyer's novels
* And much more!
Has anyone read this, and if so, would you recommend it to a fellow Heyer fan and academic for perusal and/or purchase?
