Minerva Press
Minerva Press was a publishing house, noted for creating a lucrative market in sentimental and Gothic fiction in the late 18th century and early 19th century. It was established by William Lane (c. 1745–1814) at No 33 Leadenhall Street, London, when he moved his circulating library there in about 1790. Publications The Minerva Press was hugely successful in its heyday, though it had a reputation for sensationalism among readers and critics, and for sharp business practices among some of its competitors. Many of Lane's regular writers were women, including Regina Maria Roche (''The Maid of Hamlet'', 1793; '' Clermont'', 1798); Eliza Parsons (''The Castle of Wolfenbach'', 1793; '' The Mysterious Warning'', 1796); E. M. Foster; and Eleanor Sleath (''The Orphan of the Rhine'', 1798) whose Gothic fiction is included in the list of seven " horrid novels" recommended by the character Isabella Thorpe in Jane Austen's ''Northanger Abbey''. Six of the ''Northanger'' Seven were publis ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Mannix
''Mannix'' is an American detective television series that ran from 1967 to 1975 on CBS. It was created by Richard Levinson and William Link, and developed by executive producer Bruce Geller. The title character, Joe Mannix, is a private investigator played by actor Mike Connors.

His superior is Lew Wickersham, played by Joseph Campanella. Intertect uses computers to help solve crimes. As opposed to the other employees, Mannix belonged to the classic American detective archetype, thus he usually ignores the computers' solutions, disobeys his boss's orders, and sets out to do things his own way. He wears plaid sport coats and has his own office that he keeps sloppy between his assignments. Lew has cameras in all the rooms of the Intertect offices monitoring the performance of his employees and providing ins ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
