Steinbeck And Covici: The Men Behind The Gropes Of Wrath, Jessica F. Clark
Honors Program Theses and Research Projects
The Grapes of Wrath, written during the Great Depression, became one of the most well-known and well-read novels in American Literature. Its publication helped create an awareness, or social consciousness, of the issues the American public was facing at that period in time. The Grapes of Wrath was written in 1938, published in 1939, and won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1941. Despite its acclaim, the novel could not have been properly conceptualized or released without the influence of Pascal Covici, John Steinbeck's editor.
The two men's relationship began when Covici-Friede Publishers released Tortilla Flat, Steinbeck's second novel, in …

Interactive Aphra: Skyping Behn Into Your Classroom, Cheryl Wanko
ABO: Interactive Journal for Women in the Arts, 1640–1830
Beginning by asking how teachers manage the presence of the author in their literature classrooms, this article describes the classroom experiment of interviewing Karen Eterovich, an actor who portrays Aphra Behn, using Skype. It describes the planning and scripting processes, explains the particular interests of this group of students, and assesses the final activity. Questions arose about topics for the interview, appropriate ways for Behn to respond, and the need for a script. The pedagogical opportunities for preparing students as interviewers and of expanding their understanding of performance, historical reenactment, and the construct of the author are discussed. Possible extensions …

How can students arrive at a closer understanding of the material culture that shaped the lives of the French aristocracy and nascent bourgeoisie of late eighteenth-century France? This is one of the challenges that students face in the first-year seminar, Re-Membering Marie Antoinette, as they study the multiple and conflicting ways that Marie Antoinette was and has been represented in biographies, portraits, memoirs, fiction, film, fashion, plays and pornographic pamphlets, records of her trial in 1793, and the spaces and activies that shaped her daily life. This article focuses on a series of scaffolded assignments that lead students to …

Inviting Twenty-First Century Students To The Eighteenth-Century Party, Kathryn Strong Hansen
ABO: Interactive Journal for Women in the Arts, 1640–1830
This article describes a classroom activity that increases students’ connection to literary characters, and by extension, texts. The activity, constructed as a party attended by literary characters, tasks students with taking on the point of view of one character in an assigned novel. This can encourage a student to see the viewpoint of a character that differs from him or her in gender, social status, or any other category of difference. In heightening students’ relationship to eighteenth-century characters, I argue, instructors can bring the eighteenth century closer to contemporary students as well as increase students’ sensitivity to viewpoints that differ …
