This work provides a comprehensive examination of the key plays of these three landmark figures in the German literary tradition. The plays selected for review span a century and a half and resist any neat classification according to period concepts, but each is an important work in a Renaissance dramatic movement which may be seen as 'the nucleus of the development of modern drama as a whole.' Each of the works examined here are connected in that they all represent some reworking of established texts of the Western tradition. They also can be seen as having responded to one another as well as the larger literary past. This fascinating book leads to a better understanding of this important, but often neglected aspect of the literature in question. Co-published with McMaster University.

The Challenge of Belatedness

Joy Lennick

The joint ages of friends Joy Lennick and Jean Wilson may add up to one hundred and seventy one years, but there's nothing "old lace" about these two women writers; while the "arsenic" connection is questionable... Both adept at delving into the messy, murky world of murder, it is enlightening, and sometimes, a relief... to discover their added light, humorous touch. This makes for a diverse selection of highly entertaining short stories to tickle the fancy of readers of a variety of genres. Jean Wilson worked as a Queen's Nurse in the 1950s, and soon earned the affectionate nickname 'The Angel of Aldgate' for her cheerful, hard work among the sick of the East End of London; and Joy Lennick wore a few hats before becoming an author in 1984; adding many writing projects to her long list, including five books.

Where Angels & Devils Tread

THE MEMOIR OF A FORTUNATE MAN chronicles the life of physician-scientist, Jean D. Wilson, M.D. From GROWING UP in the Texas panhandle through his decision to become an academic physician, to his pioneering research on the role of steroid hormones in sexual differentiation as a CLINICIAN/SCIENTIST, to his HOBBIES AND PREOCCUPATIONS as an ice cream maker and bird (and butterfly) watcher - his introspective memoir unfolds with a mixture of humor and humility.Sixty-six pictures (including two maps) bring Jean Wilson's memoir to life as he celebrates events like the one hundredth anniversary of the Association of American Physicians and his 65th birthday, and shares his affection for penguins and his close-up-and-personal encounter with a Monarch butterfly in Mexico. The 240-page memoir includes the transcript from his 2012 interview for the "Journal of Clinical Investigation" and his complete curriculum vitae.Internet links take readers beyond the written page to videos where they can watch the entire JCI interview, enjoy Wilson's colleagues poking fun and paying tribute to him in the 1996 "A Gentle Roast of Jean Wilson," and see The Endocrine Society Oral History Collection recording of the 2010 interview with Jean Wilson. You do not have to be a scientist or physician to enjoy the memoir of this fifth generation Texan, nor to agree with the author that he has "had some successes and done some interesting things".
