Sperber and Eric Lax; Authors' Dedications; A Note to the Reader; Acknowledgments; Notes; Bibliography; Humphrey Bogart's Broadway Plays; Filmography and Index. Illustrated with two sections of black-and-white photographic plates. "Humphrey Bogart died in 1957, and it has, amazingly, taken forty years for this first truly in-depth biography of him to appear. But Bogart is not just a movie star biography. Perhaps no other book has ever provided a more graphic rendering of what life was like for a contract player when the big studios rules Hollywood or has so dramatically captured what happened in the late 1940's as some of the biggest names in the industry pitted themselves against the excesses of the House Un-American Activities Committee in the early days of the Cold War. Born the son of a society doctor and the nationally famous illustrator Maud Humphrey, for whom he was named, Humphrey DeForest Bogart led a childhood that was one of both privilege and mistreatment. Having flunked out of Andover, he joined the navy near the end of World War I and then drifted into the life of a Broadway actor. After a first, totally undistinguished try at Hollywood, he returned to the stage, where, as the unregenerate killer in The Petrified Forest, he scored his first great triumph. The lengths to which he was forced to go to repeat the part in the movie version presaged the next years of his life at Warner Brothers, where he ground out eight to twelve films a year, mostly as part of the studio's B unit. Articulate, well-read, and possessed of a strong sense of duty that would eventually lead him to political activism, he grudgingly accepted his fate in the hope of eventaual stardom and to support his mother and a mentally ill sister. Along the way, he entered into three marriages, the third of which was to Mayo Methot, the Broadway ingenue known as the Portland Rosebud. Among the book's many accomplishments is bringing back to life this now forgotten woman whose Hollywood years were marked by a descent into acloholism and paranoia. It was from this background that the star we know today emerged. How this happened and detailed accounts of the filming of Bogart's most famous movies - The Maltese Falcon, Casablanca, To Have and Have Not, and The Big Sleep, among others - not only trace his rise to stardom and an Oscar but reveal how, during the same period, he finally found in his fourth marriage, to Lauren Bacall, the personal peace that had so long eluded him. Based on more than two hundred interviews with everyone from such famous co-workers as Katharine Hepburn and John Huston to behind-the-scenes publicists and makeup artists (even a bellman who served Bogart on one memorable night at the Beverly Hills Hotel), on a year and a half spent in the Warner Brothers archives at the University of Southern California poring over memos, letters, script reports, and contracts, and on Bogart's two-inch-thick FBI folder obtained under the Freedom of Information Act, Bogart finally tells the full story of a Hollywood legend while re-creating the history of both a Hollywood and a political era." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

Hardback. Condición: New. Intertextual Exoticism reads a body of non-canonical German exoticist literature published after imperial Germany's loss of colonial Oceania in 1914, applying theories of "intertextuality" (Kristeva) and recent scholarship on literary exoticism to explore Germany's postwar crises of psychology, masculinity, and national identity mapped onto Oceanic spaces.Many readers are familiar with late Victorian texts expressing imperial Britain's anxieties. Richard Sperber expands the scope of these texts in the context of a post-imperial Europe, examining how German exoticist literature, published after German colonial loss in Oceania in 1914, intensifies the gothic themes and subjectivities of these Victorian texts.The first part of this volume examines eight adventure narratives of Oceania, demonstrating how they do not necessarily present or represent a single, unified German colonial project. They take place on islands owned by Australia and Britain, and the unprepared German protagonists-amateur naturalists and bungling traders-are compared unfavourably to resolute Anglophone adventurers. The second part then pairs five well-known exoticist texts, including Conrad's Heart of Darkness, Stevenson's The Beach of Falesá, Haggard's She, Hitchens' The Garden of Allah, and Wilde's Salomé, with five non-canonical exoticist German texts. Sperber shows through these pairings how German literary exoticism becomes a transnational and intertextual literature that rereads dominant themes in 20th-century Europe's greater literatures of exoticism and colonial loss.…
