Hogging The Limelight: The Queen's Wake And The Rise Of Celebrity Authorship, Jason Goldsmith
Hogging The Limelight: The Queen's Wake And The Rise Of Celebrity Authorship, Jason Goldsmith
Jason Goldsmith
In the following essay, Goldsmith argues that The Queen's Wake is commentary on the literary name branding inaugurated by the periodical culture of Hogg's day. For Goldsmith, the "crisis of reception" staged in the poem--sixteenth-century provincial bards in a first encounter with royal spectacle--is not unlike the uneasy celebrity Hogg experienced as the Ettrick Shepherd of Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine.
Courtroom And Classroom Across The Curriculum: The Strange Case Of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde, Jason Goldsmith
Courtroom And Classroom Across The Curriculum: The Strange Case Of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde, Jason Goldsmith
Jason Goldsmith
The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde draws on Robert Louis Stevensons intimate knowledge of Victorian legal culture knowledge Stevenson acquired while studying law at the University of Edinburgh. (Although he was called to the Scottish bar in 1875, he abandoned the legal profession and never practiced it.) Its trace can be found in the work's title, main characters, and narrative structure: the title suggests a legal action; Mr. Utterson is the legal representative of Henry Jekyll, who is himself both a doctor of law (LLD) and a doctor of Civil laws (DCL); and the final two chapters …

Idleness Working: The Discourse Of Love's Labor From Ovid Through Chaucer And Gower, Gregory Sadlek
Idleness Working: The Discourse Of Love's Labor From Ovid Through Chaucer And Gower, Gregory Sadlek
Gregory M Sadlek
Inspired by the critical theories of M. M. Bakhtin, Idleness Working is a groundbreaking study of key works in the Western literature of love from Classical Rome to the late Middle Ages. The study focuses on the evolution of the ideologically-saturated discourse of love's labor contained in these works and thus explores them in the context of ancient and medieval theories of labor and leisure, which themselves are seen to evolve through the course of Western history. What emerges from this study is a fresh appreciation and deepened understanding of such well-known classics of love literature as Ovid's Ars amatoria …
Beckett's Masculinity: New Interpretations Of Beckett In 21st C, Jennifer Jeffers
Beckett's Masculinity: New Interpretations Of Beckett In 21st C, Jennifer Jeffers
Jennifer M. Jeffers
From Murphy to Rockaby to Worstward Ho, Beckett’s Masculinity illustrates how Samuel Beckett’s work functions as a testament to the site of memory for the historically erased twentieth-century Protestant, Anglo-Irish community. Jennifer Jeffers ably shows how Beckett converted his own personal traumatic loss of a masculine, patriarchal national identity into a sustained group of obsessive images in his texts. As Beckett’s work matured, he utilized the strategies of emasculation and gender distortion to dismantle Western masculinity. Beckett’s Masculinity shows that Western hegemonic masculinity was a source of private trauma and anxiety for Beckett; yet, he eventually transformed the twentieth-century …
Britain Colonized: Hollywood's Appropriation Of British Literature, Jennifer Jeffers
Britain Colonized: Hollywood's Appropriation Of British Literature, Jennifer Jeffers
Jennifer M. Jeffers
Britain Colonized analyzes how and why filmmakers use clichéd Hollywood formulas and American cultural standards when adapting British literature. The films discussed in this book are evidence of the way one nation remakes another, often in the image of itself or what it needs the Other to be (as the British Empire once did). Reterritorialization on the part of Hollywood manifests American cultural and capitalist hegemony over the English speaking world. Britain Colonized identifies the phenomena portending the future of British and Anglophone literary and cultural studies as a group of citations appropriated for American ends.

The Irish Novel At The End Of The Twentieth Century: Gender, Bodies, And Power, Jennifer Jeffers
The Irish Novel At The End Of The Twentieth Century: Gender, Bodies, And Power, Jennifer Jeffers
Jennifer M. Jeffers
This text interprets a wide range of Irish novels of the 1990s, focusing on the regulated sexual and constructed gendered body. It looks at how identities do, or don't, conform to familiar notions of sexuality, gender and culture and goes on to say that Irish identity is a matter of economics.
Rare Books In Detective Fiction: Information As Object, Mary Freier
Rare Books In Detective Fiction: Information As Object, Mary Freier
Mollie Freier
Library mysteries written since 1970 often depict intrigue surrounding the theft or threatened theft of rare books. Charles Goodrum, a director of the Library of Congress, once wrote that when he decided to write a mystery novel set in a library, he spent an evening coming up with ideas for such a novel. He said that he came up with dozens, but settled on a plot about rare book theft because he thought it would be more accessible to general readers. Many other mystery writers have made the same decision. Although these mysteries are often considered library mysteries and frequently …

Critical Histories Of Omniscience, Rachel Buurma
Critical Histories Of Omniscience, Rachel Buurma
Rachel S Buurma
This chapter of New Directions in the History of the Novel tells the story of the literary-critical invention of the Victorian novel’s narrative omniscience. Beginning with Victorian reviewers’ references to novelistic omniscience, the essay moves through early versions of narrative omniscience penned by post-Jamesian novel theorists and critics, who saw the talkative, inartistic, “omniscient author” as inessential to the novel and excluded it from their accounts of novelistic form. It marks a major shift in the 1960s, when the Anglo-American tradition began to see omniscience as formal and central to the Victorian novel’s form, tracing this shift through Foucauldian “panoptic …
Fluellen’S Foreign Influence And The Ill Neighborhood Of King Henry V, Ruben Espinosa
Fluellen’S Foreign Influence And The Ill Neighborhood Of King Henry V, Ruben Espinosa
Ruben Espinosa
This essay considers Shakespeare’s attention to Fluellen’s foreignness in King Henry V amid the play’s exploration of a nebulous cultural/national English identity, and it argues that the play’s emphasis on cultural and religious difference serves to underscore Elizabethan England’s tenuous sense of self. The imagined English fellowship under God that Henry evokes is at odds with the divided community at the margins of his play and the fractured identity of Shakespeare’s own England. Through Fluellen, then, difference is marked as concurrently strange and surprisingly stable.
Shakespeare And Immigration, Ruben Espinosa, David Ruiter
Shakespeare And Immigration, Ruben Espinosa, David Ruiter
Ruben Espinosa
The essays in this collection examine the role of, and reaction to, the issue of immigration in Shakespeare’s drama and culture. This volume not only seeks to interrogate how the massive influx of immigrants during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I influenced perceptions of English identity, and gave rise to anxieties about homeland security in early modern England, but they also aim to understand how our current concerns surrounding immigration shape our perception of the role of the alien in Shakespeare’s work and expand the texts in new and relevant directions to a contemporary audience.

Publishing The Victorian Novel, Rachel Buurma
Publishing The Victorian Novel, Rachel Buurma
Rachel S Buurma
“Publishing the Victorian Novel” looks to the methods of book history and literary criticism to ask how we might understand the ways Victorian publishers and authors (alongside editors, publishers’ readers, librarians, and booksellers) worked together to make novels. Paying attention to both the material and literary aspects of this making, the essay examines a few different scenes of novel publication with a particular focus on the way Victorian novelists, publishers, and reading publics understood aspects of the publication process like the serialization of novels, the three-volume novel, and the authority of the novelist and publisher. In an attempt to capture …

Feminism, Ecology, Romanticism, Spencer Hall
Feminism, Ecology, Romanticism, Spencer Hall
Spencer Hall
This review studies gender discrimination in academic Romantic criticism. It brings to light the influence of the works of William Wordsworth on women poets. The review takes a look at the term "Wordsworth" and suggests it needs to be viewed not as a masculinist concept, but as a product of the combination of he and his wife's, Dorothy Wordsworth, works. The review states the book goes further past the knowledge that William used some of his wife's material as his "raw material" for his poetry and suggests that Dorothy intended to supply William with data.
