A Mind's Menagerie: The Process Of Projecting The Mind Of A Genius Onto A Stage, Matthew F. Wilson 2013 Bard College

A Mind's Menagerie: The Process Of Projecting The Mind Of A Genius Onto A Stage, Matthew F. Wilson

Matthew Wilson

Tennessee Williams is one of the most famous American playwrights of all time. His language along with his portrayal of themes of desire and things that could have been are the things that for so long have captivated his readers, and his audiences alike. Like most, I am not immune to the genius of this fantastic playwright. The inspiration for my piece A Mind’s Menagerie grew from a seed that was implanted deep within my brain many months ago, while reading his arguably most successful play A Streetcar Named Desire. There is a small four page reading in the end …


Women As Victims In Tennessee Williams' First Three Major Plays, Ruth Foley 2013 Liberty University

Women As Victims In Tennessee Williams' First Three Major Plays, Ruth Foley

Masters Theses

Although Tennessee Williams does not openly champion the rights of women in his plays, he presents strong cases against their social alienation in a harsh and brutal world governed by men. Williams' emotional leanings, sensitivity, and intuition enable him to see life through women's eyes. In The Glass Menagerie, A Streetcar Named Desire, and Summer and Smoke, Williams astutely sounds the battle cry for women to fight against male oppression. He shows how Amanda Wingfield, Laura Wingfield, Blanche Dubois, Stella Kowalski, and Alma Winemiller are held hostage to the rules governing patriarchal society and become unhappy marginalized victims. The self-contained …

Trading Places: Mary Shelley’S Argument With Domestic Space, Eve M. Lynch 2013 California State University, East Bay

Trading Places: Mary Shelley’S Argument With Domestic Space, Eve M. Lynch

ABO: Interactive Journal for Women in the Arts, 1640-1830

When Mary Shelley began writing The Last Man in 1824 in the wake of her husband Percy Bysshe Shelley’s untimely death, she drew from her close circle of family and friends as models for her main characters. Although it is tempting to view this novel as an autobiographical expiation of the profound sorrow that overwhelmed Shelley at her husband’s death, to do so is to underestimate her prescient political insight and to risk overlooking the complex implications of class and rank that suffuse the position of the narrator, Lionel Verney. While Shelley’s emotions give a passionate appeal to this novel, …


The Female Quixote As Promoter Of Social Literacy, Amy Hodges 2013 University of Arkansas

The Female Quixote As Promoter Of Social Literacy, Amy Hodges

ABO: Interactive Journal for Women in the Arts, 1640-1830

In Charlotte Lennox’s The Female Quixote, the unruly Arabella clashes with the eighteenth century’s conception of England as an orderly, unromantic site of commercial trade. Arabella’s romances prompt her to expect certain power structures from English society; she invites others to see her body as a spectacle and expects that her actions will solidify her status as a powerful woman. Yet Lennox reveals that English society sees Arabella’s body not as powerful, but as an object upon which they may construct their own potential site for the exchange of knowledge, an objectification that neither Arabella nor Lennox are prepared …
