Modeling The Writing Assignment On Literature, Charlie Sweet, Hal Blythe

Hal Blythe

Charlie has been teaching his junior-level American Lit Survey II for 36 years, but last summer after reflecting on the course with Hal, he decided to try a new way of teaching students to write. He set up critical writing communities in his class and then he created one for himself in order to model a particular writing skill.

Voice In Writing Again: Embracing Contraries, Peter Elbow

Peter Elbow

"Voice in writing" has fallen into a kind of limbo as a topic: it's vexed; it's discredited by most composition scholars; it's not much written about recently; and yet it remains widely used by readers, teachers, and writers. I examine good reasons for paying lots of attention to voice when we read and teach writing; and also good reasons for ignoring it. And finally insist that we can usefully do both.

Christopher Okigbo At Work: Towards A Pilot Study And Critical Edition Of His Previously Unpublished Poems, 1957-1967, Chukwuma Azuonye

Chukwuma Azuonye

The objectives of the present paper are two-fold. The first is to produce a critical edition of the complete corpus of the previously unpublished papers of Christopher Okigbo (1930-1967), who is today widely acknowledged as by far the most outstanding postcolonial, Anglophone, African, modernist poet of the 20th century. The second is to offer a pilot critical interpretation of the previously unknown poems in the corpus and to ascertain their place in the Okigbo canon. In 2007 these papers became the first corpus of unpublished works to be nominated and accepted into the UNESCO Memory of the World Register. The …

It Not Do Fall For: On The Paradelle, Michael Theune

Michael Theune

With the invention of the paradelle form by poet Billy Collins and the furtherance of the paradelle in Theresa M. Welford’s The Paradelle: An Anthology (Red Hen Press, 2005), a new hoax has entered poetry’s domain. However, while somewhat similar to Warner’s hoaxes, the paradelle hoax is in many ways unique, and uniquely problematic—though increasingly interesting.

Tragical-Comical-Pastoral-Colonial: Economic Sovereignty, Globalization, And The Form Of Tragicomedy, Zachary Lesser

Zachary Lesser

I examine the politics of tragicomedy by focusing on its 1620s shift from pastoral to proto-colonial settings. This formal transformation reveals the genre's connection to economic debates over England's coin shortage and to Thomas Mun's abstract, global model of trade, removed from monarchical authority and naturalized in self-regulating "laws of commerce." Like Mun's model, tragicomedy requires us to imagine the ability of past actions and distant causes to ramify across time and space. Set on a barren, inaccessible island, Fletcher and Massinger's Sea Voyage isolates the nature of money and demonstrates the dangers of transgressing the natural law of commerce.

Speaking The Map: Teaching With The Hereford Map, Daniel Terkla

Daniel Terkla

Historians of cartography long have suggested that the Hereford Mappa Mundi was created as a teaching tool, or at least that it had some didactic function in the cathedral that has housed it for over 700 years. My goal here is to support these suggestions by setting the Hereford map in a slightly different context than others have done and so to lay the groundwork for further study. To accomplish this, I incorporate new work in sermon studies that helps in the development of a usage scenario for the map-as-teaching-tool. In addition, I follow Valerie I.J. Flint's (1998) suggestion that …
