Stephen Alexander, a London-based writer with a PhD in modern philosophy and literature, describes himself as a philosopher and provocateur.  He writes a blog called Torpedo the Ark, which, from time to time, includes pieces relating to Daphne du Maurier and her work.  

We have reposted many of his du Maurier-related blogs in our website's Interesting Facts section under the heading, A series of Daphne du Maurier-related blogs from Stephen Alexander.  During the last few weeks, he has written a three-part blog revealing his thoughts on Daphne's most well-known 1938 novel, Rebecca.
