What Lord Byron Learned From Lady Caroline Lamb, Paul Douglass
What Lord Byron Learned From Lady Caroline Lamb, Paul Douglass
Faculty Publications, English and Comparative Literature
Lady Caroline Lamb fictionalized the Byronic persona in Glenarvon (1816) and gave voice to the female characters that remain largely silent in Byron’s early work. Byron responded to her mimicry and to the female perspective of Glenarvon by creating a feminized hero and strong speaking roles for women in Don Juan, though his stated purpose was to undermine, not uphold, feminine power.

Reading The Wreckage: De-Encrypting Eliot's Aesthetics Of Empire, Paul Douglass
Reading The Wreckage: De-Encrypting Eliot's Aesthetics Of Empire, Paul Douglass
Faculty Publications, English and Comparative Literature
The writer examines an aesthetics of empire evident in Eliot's The Waste Land. He contends that though this work's formal innovations appear “revolutionary,” its aesthetics fit into modernism's reactionary character and reflect the cultural politics of the British conservatism that Eliot had adopted. In decoding the poem's fragments and allusions, he illustrates Eliot's preoccupation with empire. He also shows how The Waste Land may be seen as part of a British literary tradition of “reading the wreckage” that goes back at least to Edward Volney's Ruins (1791).
