''Unjustly neglected': reclaiming Victoria Holt as a pioneer of Neo-Victorian fiction
No full textVictoria Holt (a pseudonym of Eleanor Hibbert (1906-1993)), has received very little critical attention and she is not yet accepted as a neo-Victorian author. In order to reclaim her, this thesis investigates her work as a neo-Victorian response to the Victorian era. In addition, it uses her novels to ‘talk back’ to current neo-Victorian criticism. Employing a variety of critical lenses to reflect the varied genres embedded in sensation fiction, the thesis examines Holt’s novels as historical, Gothic, crime and romance fiction in conjunction with analysing them as neo-Victorian sensation fiction. By using selected novels as case studies, it reveals their influential innovations in these genres. Holt’s intertextual use of Victorian fiction also co-articulates matters of socio-political concern, particularly issues relating to the position of women. Examined in the context of second wave feminism and late twentieth-century legislation, her work shows an unrecognised politicised slant which the thesis uses to problematise the perception of her as an author of ‘popular’ fiction.
Holt’s work is especially impactful in relation to the neo-Victorian canon, which is still developing. There is a currently unrecognised convergence between her novels and established neo-Victorian texts including Jean Rhys’s Wide Sargasso Sea (1966), John Fowles’s The French Lieutenant’s Woman (1969), Beryl Bainbridge’s Master Georgie (1998) and Sarah Waters’s Fingersmith (2002). Reclaiming Holt as an author of neo-Victorian sensation fiction, the thesis contributes to knowledge surrounding the early development of neo-Victorianism, expands the neo-Victorian canon and restores justice to a neglected but important author

Masky Rolanda Barthese v Prolukách Bohumila Hrabala: výklad přenosu a přenosy výkladu
No full textThe mention of Roland Barthes in a key passage of Bohumil Hrabal’s Proluky (Gaps) is read here as an index of a repetition and negotiation of the autobiographical, which should not be confused with holt meyer 89 the text itself being autobiographical, at least not with respect to its author (or the author’s wife, the nominal narrator of the text). Despite Jankovič’s insistence on not differentiating perspectives and collapsing all of the speech of the text into the voice of a ‘single narrator who integrates all [other] voices’, close reading of the passage mentioning Barthes — which is also the passage in which the biological father of Hrabal appears in the form of two representatives and a pack of photographs — makes it clear that exact differentiation of both voices and media is essential, and that Barthes’ studies of the voicing and temporality of the bourgeois novel must be brought to bear on this, while of course accounting for the irony of the post-Marxist entry into a neo-Stalinist setting. These are the conditions for a transferred and transferring Barthes reading of Hrabal’s texts of the 1980s (especially those deemed autobiographical) which has never been systematically and consequently thought through.Zmínka o Rolandu Barthesovi v jedné klíčové pasáži Hrabalových Proluk je zde čten jako index opakování a vyjednávání autobiografična (které nesmíme zaměňovat s autobiografičností samotného textu, alespoň ne ve vztahu k autorovi, resp. jeho ženě jakožto nominální vypravěčce). Jankovič sice odmítal odlišování jednotlivých perspektiv a zdůrazňoval, že se řeč textu hroutí do textu „jediného vypravěče, který v sobě spojuje všechny [ostatní] hlasy“, avšak pečlivé čtení pasáže obsahující zmínku o Barthesovi — v níž se též objevuje Hrabalův biologický otec ve dvou verzích a v podobě balíčku fotografií — prokáže relevanci přesného odlišení obou hlasů a médií, k čemuž nutno vztáhnout Barthesova zkoumání distribuce hlasoví a temporality v měšťanském románu, zároveň objasňující ironičnost postmarxistického vstupu do neostalinistické scenérie. Tak vypadají podmínky pro (zatím nikdy důsledně provedené) přenesené i přenášející barthesovské čtení Hrabalových textů z osmdesátých let, zvláště těch domněle autobiografických.598
Is human growth hormone an ergogenic aid?
No full textGrowth hormone (GH) was first isolated from the pituitary gland in the 1940s. It is believed that athletes have been abusing GH for its anabolic and lipolytic effects since the early 1980s, at least a decade before endocrinologists began to treat adults with GH deficiency. Most of our knowledge about GH abuse is anecdotal but a number of high-profile athletes have admitted using GH. Despite its widespread abuse, there is debate about whether GH is ergogenic. Indeed most scientific studies have not shown a performance enhancing effect. This review will address why this discrepancy of opinion between athletes and scientists exists and why the author believes that the scientists are wrong.<br/
