Stages Of Evil: Occultism In Western Theater And Drama, Robert Lima
Stages Of Evil: Occultism In Western Theater And Drama, Robert Lima
Studies in Romance Languages Series
“The evil that men do” has been chronicled for thousands of years on the European stage, and perhaps nowhere else is human fear of our own evil more detailed than in its personifications in theater. In Stages of Evil, Robert Lima explores the sociohistorical implications of Christian and pagan representations of evil and the theatrical creativity that occultism has engendered. By examining examples of alchemy, astronomy, demonology, exorcism, fairies, vampires, witchcraft, hauntings, and voodoo in prominent plays, Stages of Evil explores American and European perceptions of occultism from medieval times to the modern age.

Resistance To The Resistance To Poetry On The Resistance To Poetry, Michael Theune
Resistance To The Resistance To Poetry On The Resistance To Poetry, Michael Theune
Scholarship
James Longenbach’s previous book of criticism, Modern Poetry after Modernism (Oxford: Oxford UP, 1997), opens by reworking Randall Jarrell’s claim in the essay "The End of the Line" that "Romantic poetry holds in solution contradictory tendencies which, isolated and exaggerated in modernism, look startlingly opposed to each other and to the earlier stages of romanticism." Replacing the references to romanticism with modernism, and the reference to modernism with postmodernism, Longenbach begins his argument against the continued use of the "breakthrough narrative," a faulty critical construct based on an overly simple idea of a too-easy distinction between modernism and postmodernism, suggesting …
Faux, Flawed, Failed: Alice Fulton's Fuzzy Poetry And Poetics On Cascade Experiment By Alice Fulton, Michael Theune
Faux, Flawed, Failed: Alice Fulton's Fuzzy Poetry And Poetics On Cascade Experiment By Alice Fulton, Michael Theune
Scholarship
Alice Fulton is a poet and a theoretician who, for over 25 years, has tried to make much of, and even to occupy, this new fuzzy space. As many of her notebook entries (collected in The Poet’s Notebook: Excerpts from the Notebooks of Contemporary American Poets. Ed. Stephen Kuusisto, et al. NY: W.W. Norton, 1995) attest to, Fulton refers to and privileges the gap, the between. One entry mulls over the possibilities opened up by fuzzy logic, stating, “Conventional logic is based on the idea that a statement…is either true or false. Fuzzy logic deals with the degree of truth, …

Maine Stream: A Bibliographical Reception Study Of Sarah Orne Jewett, Kathrine Cole Aydelott
Maine Stream: A Bibliographical Reception Study Of Sarah Orne Jewett, Kathrine Cole Aydelott
Sarah Orne Jewett: Bibliography
The critical reception of Sarah Orne Jewett has oscillated dramatically over the last century. Contemporary reviews praised her as a writer whose appreciation for and deep understanding of New England and its people transcended local concerns and brought sympathetic, realistic depictions of Maine to the far coasts of the United States and Europe. Literary critics from the 1930s and 1940s, however, stereotyped Jewett as "an old-fashioned local colorist" whose writing was too simplistic to warrant critical attention. Since the 1970s, however, and particularly thanks to feminist literary critics, Jewett has been rediscovered and is now well reestablished in the canon …
Unknowing: The Work Of Modernist Fiction, Philip M. Weinstein
Unknowing: The Work Of Modernist Fiction, Philip M. Weinstein
English Literature Faculty Works
Philip Weinstein explores the modernist commitment to unknowing by addressing the work of three supreme experimental writers: Franz Kafka, Marcel Proust, and William Faulkner. In their novels, the narrative props that support the drama of coming to know are refused. When space turns uncanny rather than lawful, when time ceases to be linear and progressive, objects and others become unfamiliar. So does the subject seeking to know them. Weinstein argues that modernist texts work, by way of surprise and arrest, to subvert the familiarity and narrative progression intrinsic to realist fiction. Rather than staging the drama of coming to know, …

Facing Tough Realities And Inspiring Change: The Comic Satire Of Sherman Alexie, Jill Alison Henry
Facing Tough Realities And Inspiring Change: The Comic Satire Of Sherman Alexie, Jill Alison Henry
Theses Digitization Project
Examines the comic modes Sherman Alexie uses, the purposes behind his critical, yet humorous, commentary, the multiple audiences toward which his satire is aimed, and the desired outcomes of his satire. Explores the theme of alcoholism in Alexie's writings that plays a role in the degradation of Native American lives in modern times and why alcoholism has become a problem for the Native American community. Also, examines why Native Americans have become so dependent on White handouts and how this passivity and acceptance has created problems in Indian society. Finally, offers insights into Alexie's use of humor as a means …
From Darwin To Dracula: A Study Of Literary Evolution, Erin Alice Lamborn
From Darwin To Dracula: A Study Of Literary Evolution, Erin Alice Lamborn
Theses Digitization Project
Argues that, without the publication of Charles Darwin's "Origin of Species," Bram Stoker's novel "Dracula" and Oscar Wilde's novel "The Picture of Dorian Gray" would not have been written with their distinct style and themes, as evolution clashes with degeneration and female power (and the sexuality derived from that power) clashes with the new science. Stoker and Wilde combine the science of the late 19th century with the characters of their imaginations. Natural and sexual selection plays a part in these characters' core development. The mixture of sexuality, science and power in these two novels all combine to formulate what …
A Skeptical Feminist Exploration Of Binary Dystopias In Marion Zimmer Bradley's The Mists Of Avalon, Alexandra Elizabeth Anita Lindstrom
A Skeptical Feminist Exploration Of Binary Dystopias In Marion Zimmer Bradley's The Mists Of Avalon, Alexandra Elizabeth Anita Lindstrom
Theses Digitization Project
In Marion Zimmer Bradley's retelling of the Arthurian legends, The Mists of Avalon, she creates two dystopic cultures: Avalon and Camelot. Contrasting Bradley's account of the legends with the traditional version, Sir Thomas Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur, reveals that Bradley's sweeping revisions of the tradition do little to create a feminist ideal. A skeptical questioning of the text's plot and characters with the Women's Movement in mind opens an interpretation of the text as a critique of feminism itself.

Jane Kenyon, Jayme Stayer
Jane Kenyon, Jayme Stayer
English: Faculty Publications and Other Works
The pastoral emphasis and New England setting of Jane Kenyon's poetry has invited comparisons to Robert Frost and Emily Dickinson. The uncluttered spareness of her work and her interrelated themes of faith, guilt, empathy, and pessimism also place her among that collection of people known as New England poets. Kenyon's own love of John Keats-and his haunted experiences of pain and beauty-also informs her work.
Stephen Dunn, Jayme Stayer
Stephen Dunn, Jayme Stayer
English: Faculty Publications and Other Works
That Stephen Dunn'.s work is difficult to categorize may account for his slow but steady rise to recognition. After working himself out of his Imagist training, he eventually found his mature voice in a discursive, abstract, but highly accessible style. Dunn has forged his own way, writing lyric poems composed of an appealingly intimate voice and a restrained, if pulsating, emotional fabric.
