Review [Of Peter Rawlings' Henry James And The Abuse Of The Past], Sarah Wadsworth

[...] the "abuse of the past" becomes in James's hands "an art of fiction and the framework of an autobiography" (67-68). According to Rawlings, "Henry James's late fiction specializes in constructing, within the volatile framework of philosophies of time then current, decadent mutations of America's vanishing dreamers, characters arrested . . . by the forlorn realization that 'we shall never be again as we were!'" (141-42).

Jacob And Esau And The Iconoclasm Of Merit, John E. Curran Jr.
Jacob And Esau And The Iconoclasm Of Merit, John E. Curran Jr.
English Faculty Research and Publications
This article contends that the mid-Tudor interlude Jacob and Esau, long known to have a Protestant slant, promotes a Calvinistic doctrine of election consonant with Edwardian theology and that in doing so it also enacts a rare kind of iconoclastic drama. The play invalidates the very discriminations between the brothers it seems to encourage us to make. This building up only to break down the differences between the elect and the reprobate proves God’s judgments to be unresponsive to human merits and utterly inscrutable, even as it prompts the audience to beware of the limits of perception and the …
Resisting Altruism: How Systematic Power And Privilege Become Personal In One-On-One Community Tutoring, Beth Godbee
Resisting Altruism: How Systematic Power And Privilege Become Personal In One-On-One Community Tutoring, Beth Godbee
English Faculty Research and Publications
In this qualitative case study of one tutoring relationship, I present new data on the extracurriculum; investigate tutoring as it occurs in community spaces; and argue that individuals can connect across systematic inequalities through personal conversations around picture books, photographs, and other visual and textual materials. Rather than ignore individual positioning within institutionalized power and privilege, tutors and writers can strengthen relationships and make tutoring more effective by evaluating how the systematic becomes personal and intimately known in one-on-one conferencing.

Addresses the gap for an analysis of Shakespeare's relation to the Gothic.
The Gothic novel transports you to a strange and fascinating world quite unlike your own, far away from the calm drawing rooms of Regency England. It is the ultimate escapist literature. It is this world, and its mutually beneficial relationship with Catholicism, that Dr Maria Purves so beautifully illuminates for the reader.
