La nouvelle traduction des essais de Virginia Woolf par Catherine Bernard rassemble trente textes, publiés entre 1905 et 1942, accompagnés d’une préface, d’un appareil critique et d’un dossier documentaire très riche, retraçant l’historique de la publication des essais, le contexte évolutif de leur réception et leur postérité critique. Catherine Bernard a fait le choix de réunir des essais majeurs de Virginia Woolf, comme « La fiction moderne » ou « Mr. Bennett et Mrs. Brown », mais a souhaité également faire découvrir des pièces moins connues, « plus immédiatement expérimentales, voire intimes » (9), comme « En route pour l’Espagne » ou « Une nuit dans le Sussex : réflexions en route », autant de textes dont la rédaction a scandé et nourri toute la carrière d’écrivain de Virginia Woolf.

"Virginia Woolf's Mrs Dalloway, one of the most significant modernist texts from the Western literary canon, has spawned numerous contemporary offspring. Contemporary authors have dialogued with it, challenged it, reinvented it and offered creative responses to it, thus reinforcing its accumulated critical reputation and canonical status. After meticulously tracing the genesis of Woolf's most iconic novel so as to examine the production of Woolf's idiosyncratic Dalloway-esque signature, A Poetics of Postmodernism and Neomodernism sets out to explore its reproduction by a variety of postmodernist and neomodernist Anglo-American writers who are either openly indebted to Woolf's novel or covertly influenced by it. The contemporary tributes that are indebted to Mrs Dalloway in so many ways have rejuvenated the Woolfian novel and have propelled it into the twenty-first century. Almost a hundred years after its publication, Woolf's Mrs Dalloway has proved to be an enduring text, an 'ice-breaking vessel' which continues to invite 'individual talents' to follow in its wake"-- Provided by publisher.

"An anthology of detective stories by Melville Davisson Post"-- "First published in 1918, Uncle Abner: Master of Mysteries is an anthology of detective stories written by Melville Davisson Post. The popular stories within this collection were serialized in national magazines such as the Saturday Evening Post in the early 20th century. Uncle Abner is an amateur detective in present-day Harrison County, West Virginia. Throughout his journeys around this antebellum wilderness, long before the nation had a proper police system, the honest Uncle Abner is confronted by murders and mysteries that cannot be ignored. With uncanny intuition, impressive logic, and keen observation of human actions, Uncle Abner is Melville Davisson Post's most celebrated literary creation and is considered to be one of the most important texts in American detective and crime fiction. This new edition contains an introduction by Craig Johnson, author of the Walt Longmire novels. "--
