The Strumpet Wind, first published in 1947, is a fictional account of espionage during the later days of World War II. Set in southern France, the novel revolves around a French family (the husband is a collaborator with the Vichy government and the German army), and an American intelligence agent, whose mission is to transmit false messages to the Nazis. Mercanton, the collaborator, attempts to switch allegiance to the Allied cause, but his actions, although helpful, do not prevent the tragic consequences brought about by his earlier activities. Author Gordon Merrick (1916-1988), served in the O.S.S. in France during World War II, reaching the rank of captain. The Strumpet Wind was his first novel.

Shakespeare and the Environment: A Dictionary
Author: Sophie ChiariPublisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1350110485
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 456
Book Description
While our physical surroundings fashion our identities, we, in turn, fashion the natural elements in which or with which we live. This complex interaction between the human and the non-human already resonated in Shakespeare's plays and poems. As details of the early modern supra- and infra-celestial landscape feature in his works, this dictionary brings to the fore Shakespeare's responsiveness to and acute perception of his 'environment' and it covers the most significant uses of words related to this concept. In doing so, it also examines the epistemological changes that were taking place at the turn of the 17th century in a society which increasingly tried to master nature and its elements. For this reason, the intersections between the natural and the supernatural receive special emphasis. All in all, this dictionary offers a wide variety of resources that takes stock of the 'green criticism' that recently emerged in Shakespeare studies and provides a clear and complete overview of the idea, imagery and language of environment in the canon.
