Power And The Poet, Spencer Hall Aug 2011

Power And The Poet, Spencer Hall

Spencer Hall

Recent criticism has established the pivotal role of "Mont Blanc" and "Hymn to Intellectual Beauty" in Shelley's poetic canon.

They are dynamically transitional poems that bridge the gap between Shelley's early radicalism and the highly complex idealism of his Italian period. They formulate poetic strategies and structures, imaginative forms and concepts, that were to be …


Mormon Contributions To Young Adult Literature, Toni Pilcher Aug 2011

Mormon Contributions To Young Adult Literature, Toni Pilcher

Student Works

Mormon authors are making big splashes in the world of young adult (YA) literature, a relatively young genre that is targeted at readers from age 12 to age 18. Since 1967, when the American Library Association officially recognized YA literature as separate from children's books, writers and publishers have been trying to define the genre. It is, in a sense, coming of age. Generally, to be considered YA, a book has to have a teenage protagonist in situations with which a teenage reader can identify. Like literature for adults, there are a few limitations to subject and theme, but unlike …

Trauma And Temporal Hybridity In Arundhati Roy’S The God Of Small Things, Elizabeth Outka Jan 2011

Trauma And Temporal Hybridity In Arundhati Roy’S The God Of Small Things, Elizabeth Outka

English Faculty Publications

Arundhati Roy’s novel, The God of Small Things, presents an often bewildering mix of different times: images, stories, and sensations from the past blend together with present moments and even future experiences. Critics have noted this temporal blending and have cited this feature as reflecting the novel’s magical realism, or postcolonialism, or postmodernism, which are all associated with various forms of time play.1 Indeed, as writers from Joyce to Woolf to Rushdie remind us, time is always to some extent a mixture, as the present must be understood as a complex amalgamation and negotiation of past moments. Roy’s …
