The exploits of the great Victorian Detectives, Poe’s C. Auguste Dupin, Gaboriau’s Lecoq, and most famously, Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes, are well known. But what of those fictional detectives that came after, those of the Edwardian Age? The period between the death of Queen Victoria and the First World War had been called the Golden Age of the detective short story, but how familiar is the modern reader with the sleuths of this era? And such an extraordinary group they were, including in their numbers an unassuming English priest, a blind man, a master of disguises, a lecturer in medical jurisprudence, a noble woman working for Scotland Yard, and a savant so brilliant he was known as “The Thinking Machine.” To introduce readers to these detectives, Resurrected Press has assembled a collection of stories featuring these and other remarkable sleuths in The Edwardian Detectives.The Case of Laker, Absconded by Arthur Morrison The Fenchurch Street Mystery by Baroness OrczyThe Crime of the French Café by Nick Carter The Man with Nailed Shoes by R Austin FreemanThe Blue Cross by G.

An exciting historical crime thriller set in Paris and Switzerland in 1902 – the era of La Belle Epoque and the Entente Cordiale. This is the first instalment in the adventures of young American detective, Joseph Appeldoorn, and Miss Amelia Peachy, Edwardian actress and athlete, British secret agent, and mistress of disguise and intrigue... In this first episode, which takes them from Paris to Bern to Lake Constance, the pair encounter beautiful courtesans, deadly assassins, anarchist plots, Russian revolutionaries and royalty, as well as both the young Picasso and Albert Einstein... The time is March 1902. The Boer War is coming to its conclusion in South Africa, while turn-of-the-century Europe is beset with political rivalries between imperial dynasties, and the threat of violent anarchist groups. Paul Kruger, former President of the Transvaal Republic, has hired a deadly assassin, codenamed “the Butcher”, to kill Edward VII, the new King of England, in reprisal for British action against the Boers. Joseph Appeldoorn is a young and rather naive American, a scientist turned reluctant detective, sent to Europe to find a missing Connecticut heiress, Eleanor Winthrop. Joe’s search for the missing girl takes him from Paris to Bern where he finds a murdered woman in a hotel bath and is himself nearly murdered by a mysterious German, before being rescued from the River Aare by the young Albert Einstein. Joe follows further leads in his search for the heiress that take him to a political meeting in Zurich addressed by Lenin, and on to an infamous bordello, Le Royale. Here he encounters the enticing British agent Amelia Peachy... Joe and Miss Peachy soon come together in their bid to both find the missing heiress and to foil this dangerous assassin, but must face many new and dangerous challenges on the way. In particular they discover that Germany now has a new and potent weapon to use against the British Empire – a giant airship called a Zeppelin...

A portrait of fashionable society at the height of an era, The Edwardians reveals, through the lives of its characters, all that was glamorous about the period—and all that was to lead to its downfall. Sebastian and Viola are children of the English aristocracy. Handsome and moody, 19-year-old Sebastian is heir to Chevron, a vast country estate. Tying him to his inheritance is a deep sense of tradition and love of the English countryside, but he loathes the cold, extravagant society of which he is a part. At 16, his sister Viola is more independent: an unfashionable beauty who scorns every part of her inheritance—most particularly that of womanhood. It is July 1905, and Chevron is once again the site of a lavish house party. The guests include the great beauty Lady Rochampton and the explorer Leonard Anquetil. It is Lady Rochampton who will initiate Sebastian in the art of love, but it is the Anquetil who opens for both brother and sister the gateway to another world.

A stunningly beautiful volume of evocative, sensual male nudes shot to look as though they were taken around 1900.

The gardens of the great Edwardian landscape designer are captured in all their glory in 200 color and duotone images from the archives of Country Life. Harold Peto (1854–1933) was one of the most celebrated landscape designers of the Edwardian era. A leading exponent of the ultra-romantic Italianate style so fashionable in the first two decades of the 20th century, he was also influenced by the Arts and Crafts movement. Much admired by the likes of Gertrude Jekyll and Edwin Lutyens, he was recognized as one of the most successful garden designers of his generation and enjoyed a formidable reputation both in England and the south of France. The commentary is brought to life by 200 ravishing photos depicting many of Peto's gardens in their heyday.

Following an assassination attempt on George III in 1800, new legislation significantly altered the way the criminally insane were treated by the judicial system in Britain. This book explores these changes and explains the rationale for purpose-built criminal lunatic asylums in the Victorian era.Specific case studies are used to illustrate and describe some of the earliest patients at Broadmoor Hospital – the Criminal Lunatic Asylum for England and Wales - and the Criminal Lunatic Department at Perth Prison in Scotland. Chapters examine the mental and social problems that led to crime alongside individuals considered to be weak-minded, imbeciles or idiots. Family murders are explored as well as individuals who killed for gain. An examination of psychiatric evidence is provided to illustrate how often an insanity defense was used in court and the outcome if the judge and jury did not believe these claims. Two cases are discussed where medical experts gave evidence that individuals were mentally irresponsible for their crimes but they were led to the gallows.Written by genealogists and historians, this book examines and identifies individuals who committed heinous crimes and researches the impact crime had on themselves, their families and their victims.

For centuries, the cardinals, popes, and rulers of Italy have devoted themselves to creating vast villa gardens that represent their wealth and power, provide a calm refuge from city life, and showcase lavish plantings and rare flowers. Here, in over two hundred exquisite photographs—taken during the Edwardian era when these historic gardens were at their peak—twenty-two of central Italy's most ornate and spectacular palace gardens are presented.Italian Gardens reveals the vanished magnificence of the aristocracy's landscapes in superb images from the archives of Britain's renowned Country Life magazine. Classic photographs of unrivaled beauty and composition display patterned grottoes, elaborate terraces, sophisticated fountains, antique statuary, and sun-dappled arbors to provide an important record of these gardens at a nostalgic moment in time, before the two World Wars provoked irrevocable changes in Italy's political and economic climate and many gardens fell into neglect. These vivid images dating from the early 1900s possess a quality of light and depth of detail not seen in modern photographs.Discussing the history and design of each garden, author Helena Attlee brings to life the personalities responsible for such extravagant creations as the Alley of a Hundred Fountains at the Villa d'Este in Tivoli, the swirling parterres de broderie of Villa Doria Pamphili in Rome, the broad terraces and majestic staircases of the Vatican Gardens, the frescoed loggia of the Villa Medici in Fiesole, and the border of innumerable citrus trees circling the Isolotto in Florence's famous Boboli Gardens. This volume introduces the intricacies and ornaments of the sumptuous gardens of Rome and Tuscany, and will transport readers to these unique, fragrant landscapes.

Astute, witty, and mercifully brief, Eminent Edwardians is a portrait of an age. Piers Brendon reveals the essence of the Edwardian era in biographical sketches of four of its most famous figures: Arthur Balfour, Prime Minister and inspirer of the Balfour Declaration on Palestine; Emmeline Pankhurst, dare-devil Suffragette and “castrating threat to the lords of humankind”; Robert Baden-Powell, war idol and “eternal Boy Scout”; and grandiose newspaper baron Lord Alfred Northcliffe, who unleashed on an unsuspecting world a mass popular press.
