In a new account of the relationship between Margaret Fuller and Ralph Waldo Emerson, Christina Zwarg recreates a feminist conversation that has gone unheard. In Zwarg's view, the intimate, yet restrained, letters between the two writers are most significant in confronting the challenges posed by gender and desire. Focusing on their exploration of Charles Fourier's utopianism and particularly his concept of "passionate attraction," Zwarg offers the only detailed reading of Emerson's letters to Fuller.

A historical and critical analysis of the concept of the gene that attempts to provide new perspectives and metaphors for the transformation of biology and its philosophy.

Niet alleen het nieuws verandert steeds, ook de manier waarop het vorm krijgt in de krant. In 1970, na de fusie tussen NRC en het Handelsblad, was de krant zwart-wit met loodgezette letters. Inmiddels ligt er een full-colour, digitaal geproduceerd medium, dat ook op internet, e-reader en iPad te lezen is. Sinds 2006 is er bovendien nrc.next met een eigen formaat, beeldtaal en lay-out. Scherpe Letters schetst de veranderende vorm van de krant en diverse bijlagen, de ontwikkeling van techniek en nieuwe manieren waarop lezers informatie tot zich willen nemen. Met veel illustraties en een korte historie van de bekendste NRC-strips: Ollie B. Bommel, Kamagurka en Fokke en Sukke. In oktober-december zal over dit onderwerp een tentoonstelling te zien zijn in museum De Lakenhal in Leiden. Het jubileum krijgt ruim aandacht in NRC Handelsblad.

Farberville, Arkansas is playing host to its first ever mystery convention. Sponsored by the Thurber Farber Foundation and held at Farber College, Murder Comes to Campus is playing host to five major mystery writers representing all areas of the field. Dragooned into running the show when the original organizer is hospitalized, local bookseller Claire Malloy finds herself in the midst of a barely controlled disaster. Not only do each of the writers present their own set of idiosyncracies and difficulties (including one who arrives with her cat Wimple in tow), the feared, distrusted, and disliked mystery editor of Paradigm House, Roxanne Small, puts in a surprise appearance at the conference. Added to Claire's own love-life woes with local police detective Peter Rosen, things have never been worse. Then when one of the attendees dies in a suspicious car accident, Wimple the cat disappears from Claire's home, and Roxanne Small is nowhere to be found, it becomes evident that the murder mystery is more than a literary genre.

When a beautiful, beguiling newcomer to Maggody turns up murdered, police chief Arly Hanks traces her e-mails and begins to suspect that someone in town may have killed her--perhaps one of the many women she made jealous.
