 Discovery Online, Exploration -- Road Rally, Today at the Rally
The elder Montagu was the first Brit to drive on the continent, and his son Edward was the first to motor through the Chunnel.
Edward owns and directs one of the foremost vintage car museums in the world, Britain's National Motoring Museum, and he has driven in more than 300 international road rallies.
Sour-faced on a good day, Montagu looks grim, his small round eyes watery, his flushed face pinched as he glowers at his mechanic.

 Salon People Edward Gorey
And they're small, borrowing the nonsense of Lewis Carroll and Edward Lear, coupled with the grim infanticides of the Brothers Grimm.
Perhaps a primal clue to Gorey's perspicacity and morbid taste can be found in his choice of childhood reading material: He read "Dracula" at age 5, "Frankenstein" at age 7 and all of the works of Victor Hugo by age 8.
Gorey was not born in England, but in Chicago, in 1925.

 village voice > vls > Lost Classic by Erik Davis
Edward Whittemore is utterly enchanted by the mystery of that sweep, a mystery whose archetypal patterns and strange surface designs are woven into the rich, goofy, and esoteric texture of his remarkable Jerusalem Quartet.
Whittemore's colorful characters are invariably crippled within (and often without), and they wrestle fitfully with meaninglessness, time, and the grim realities of war.
Whittemore's meditations on history are serious—the most central figure in the series is Strongbow's son Stern, an ethnically mixed gunrunner, morphine addict, and spy who spends the early decades of the 20th century pursuing his hopeless dream of a genuinely multicultural Palestine.

 BBC - History - Edward VII: The First Constitutional Monarch
British monarchs have seldom had happy childhoods, and Albert Edward, the future King Edward VII but known throughout his life as Bertie, was no exception.
Victoria and Albert were young and passionately determined to raise their children well, but this determination was so grim in its earnestness and so unyielding in its idealism that it served rather to thwart than encourage the growth of their nine children.
For the rest of his life Edward struggled with the double burden of knowing she blamed him, and feeling her unjust for doing so.

 Angel Records
The vocals of Martyn Jaques are to be particularly noted, as they dive in an out of Victorian hysteria, sometimes doing a grim march to the grave, and often erupting into melo-dramatic flourishes quite appropriate to the subject matter, which ranges from a weird alphabet to a learned pig to Gorey's mysterious universal compound QRV.
Well, certainly Edward Gorey would agree, and the Tiger Lilies - aided by the Kronos Quartet - celebrate the "Victorian noir" of Gorey in beautiful and idiosyncratic performances, redolent of what drawing room recitals of 1800s London might have been if the audiences were not afriad of being offended.
Gorey, and there are moments when the linguistic precision and care of Edward is somewhat brushed aside by the demands of the song, but these - all in all - do not disturb this listener's ear to any great degree.

 EMLS 9.2 (September, 2003]: .1-4 Review of Edward II
There, the grim, black-garbed Bolingbroke strongly suggests Puritanism; here, that suggestion has been transferred to the prim, hymn-singing barons (though it is notable that Edward and his followers stage a counter-claim to the moral high ground by also singing hymns).
His performance is the main beneficiary of the unhurried pace, not least because it becomes so clear how unpredictable and contradictory are the actions of those around him, like Kent and Mortimer, who change their minds and their policy from minute to minute and whom Edward therefore has no hope of controlling.
Moreover, where Dido seems to be afraid to play the text straight or to allow any of the scenes any emotional weight, Edward II, at three hours and ten minutes including two intervals of fifteen minutes each, pays slow, careful attention to all the major scenes and speeches.

 Salon People Edward Gorey
And they're small, borrowing the nonsense of Lewis Carroll and Edward Lear, coupled with the grim infanticides of the Brothers Grimm.
Back then no one knew quite what to call his small gems with their manic pen-and-ink illustrations of overstuffed drawing rooms, set somewhere between the Edwardian era and the 1920s, and with punch lines taken from the unspeakable horror of their well-dressed characters' untimely demises.
Perhaps a primal clue to Gorey's perspicacity and morbid taste can be found in his choice of childhood reading material: He read "Dracula" at age 5, "Frankenstein" at age 7 and all of the works of Victor Hugo by age 8.

 The Culture Of Poverty
The thrust of Mayer's grim analysis is to support the existence of a permanent "culture of poverty," an argument first advanced in the modern American context by political scientist Edward Banfield in a 1970 book.
The Banfield theory ignited outrage, because it meant that, beyond some point, the effort to end poverty would fail.
even if their incomes were doubled," Banfield wrote, because they had a "radically present-oriented" outlook that "attaches no value to work, sacrifice, self-improvement, or service to family, friends or community."

 Kane (fantasy) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kane is a literary character created by Karl Edward Wagner in a series of sword and sorcery novels and short stories between 1970 and 1985.
The stories are set in a grim, pre-medieval world which is nonetheless ancient and rich in history.
He is often compared to Conan the Barbarian (partly because Wagner also wrote several Conan stories), but is quite different in that he is an intelligent, often devious character with a more somber and reflective outlook on life than Conan.

 Edward D. Hoch
However, this story is too grim in its surrounding storytelling to be truly entertaining: the Vlado tales tend to suffer from melancholia.
Hoch has written a series of stories that attempt to explain 19th Century riddle tales, puzzling works which were originally designed to set up situations so baffling that they could have no possible solution.
Hoch is at the forefront of writers who employ the latest in communications and computer technology in their tales.

 village voice > dance > by Deborah Jowitt
The second act is fleshed out with a betrothal ball for Edward's son and a long, long, tender duet in prison between the deposed, debilitated king and his leather-clad executioner—which adds a note of sado-masochistic eroticism to the grisly coup de grĂ¢ce.
The theatrically effective opening, with black-cloaked monks and mourners laying Edward I to rest and crowning Edward II (Wolfgang Stollwitzer), is interrupted by Gaveston (Robert Parker).
Gaveston loses his head, and the Grim Reaper (a seminude muscle man powerfully danced by David Justin) stalks ominously through.

Of course, she wouldn't have needed a lot of armament to deal with the completely unarmed and defenseless merchies upon which she preyed, and he felt a grim satisfaction at the way the tables had been turned in this instance.
The ship they were pursuing massed no more than fifty thousand tons, little more than twelve percent of an Edward Saganami -class cruiser like Jessica Epps, and no hyper-capable warship could mount very much offense or defense on that limited a displacement.

 Review: Saving Private Ryan
Edward Burns' Reiben uses cynicism and sarcasm to hide his uncertainty about the validity of his latest mission.
In many ways, the picture painted by this movie is more grim than the one Oliver Stone presented in Platoon, which has often been cited as the most daring anti-war film to come out of Hollywood.
The U.S. army chief of staff, General George C. Marshall (Harve Presnell), is stirred by the grief-stricken woman's plight, and decides to send a group of men into the French countryside to find and rescue the fourth son, paratrooper Private James Ryan (Matt Damon).

 With a ghoulishly murky 'Dutchman,' Opera puts on a truly grim production
As a program note reminded us, Edward Bulwer-Lytton's undying clunker of an opening line applies nicely to Wagner's ghostly sea tale, and it applied less happily to this grim little undertaking.
It was, yes, a dark and stormy night as the San Francisco Opera unveiled its new production of "The Flying Dutchman" at the War Memorial Opera House on Wednesday.
Dark, because murk and obscurity constitute the reigning aesthetic of director Nikolaus Lehnhoff's bizarre production, a black-on-black nightmare of ghoulish abstractions.

 Aftermath: Bereavement: Losing a fiance
The strange irony which had determined the fates of Roland and Edward seemed to persist even after death: the impetuous warrior slept calmly in this peaceful, complacent earth with its suave covering of velvet lawn; the serene musician lay on the dark summit of a grim, far-off mountain.
As I walked up the paved path where Edward had stood in April 1916, and looked at the trim, ordered burial-ground and the open, urbane country, I thought how different it all was from the grey twilight of the Asiago Plateau [where her brother was buried], with its deep, sinister silence.
We found the cemetery, as Edward had described it, on the top of a hill where two roads joined; the afternoon was bright and sunny, and just beyond the encircling wall a thin row of elms made a delicate pattern against the tranquil sky.
