An Unpublished Letter Of Lord Byron To Lady Caroline Lamb, Paul Douglass
An Unpublished Letter Of Lord Byron To Lady Caroline Lamb, Paul Douglass
Paul Douglass
Lord Byron took a highly ambivalent attitude toward female authorship, and yet his poetry, letters, and journals exhibit many proofs of the power of women's language and perceptions. He responded to, borrowed from, and adapted parts of the works of Maria Edgeworth, Harriet Lee, Madame de Stael, Mary Shelley, Elizabeth lnchbald, Hannah Cowley, Joanna Baillie, Lady Caroline Lamb, Mary Robmson, and Charlotte Dacre. The influence of women writers on his career may also be seen in the development of the female (and male) characters in his narrative poetry and drama. This essay focuses on the influence upon Byron of Lee, …

Lord Byron’S Feminist Canon: Notes Toward Its Construction, Paul Douglass
Paul Douglass
Lord Byron took a highly ambivalent attitude toward female authorship, and yet his poetry, letters, and journals exhibit many proofs of the power of women’s language and perceptions. He responded to, borrowed from, and adapted parts of the works of Maria Edgeworth, Harriet Lee, Madame de Staël, Mary Shelley, Elizabeth Inchbald, Hannah Cowley, Joanna Baillie, Lady Caroline Lamb, Mary Robinson, and Charlotte Dacre. The influence of women writers on his career may also be seen in the development of the female (and male) characters in his narrative poetry and drama.

The Reality Of Artifice: Villiers De L'Isle Adam's L'Eve Future And The Anxiety Of Reproduction, Boyd J. Petersen
The Reality Of Artifice: Villiers De L'Isle Adam's L'Eve Future And The Anxiety Of Reproduction, Boyd J. Petersen
Boyd J Petersen
First, Villier's L'Eve future employs a poetics of confusion, calling into question binary oppositions and destabilizing the narrative. Second, the novel is concerned with the production of art in a technological age, calling into question the notion of an "original" in a world of technological reproduction. Third, the novel is concerned with the ethics of male desire and the construction of women's bodies. Finally, the text critiques the emerging scientific worldview as an alternate religion, requiring faith, administering sacraments, and officiating rituals.

Medieval Philology And Nationalism: The British And German Editors Of Thomas Of Erceldoune, Richard Utz
Medieval Philology And Nationalism: The British And German Editors Of Thomas Of Erceldoune, Richard Utz
Richard Utz
The reception of the late fourteenth-century romance/lay/ballad Thomas of Erceldoune by romantic enthusiasts, antiquarians, modernist philologists, and twentieth-century medievalists reveals the dangerous indebtedness of a quasi-sciencific medieval philology to competing national paradigmatic constructions (German, English, Scottish) on the one hand and the ongoing foundational value of philological work for current medieval textual scholarship on the other. Thus, while debunking the disinterestedness claimed by modernist philology, the essay attests to the enduring success of philological editorial practice regarding this specific late medieval poem.

Fate, Freedom, And Flies: A Consideration Of The Flies And The Oresteia, Ann Taylor
Fate, Freedom, And Flies: A Consideration Of The Flies And The Oresteia, Ann Taylor
Ann Connolly
Jean-Paul Sartre, as an existentialist, puts at the center of his works the question of freedom and responsibility. Existentialism posits the idea that “existence precedes essence,” thus leading to the conclusion that one is only what one makes him or herself to be through his or her actions; no purpose or meaning is pre-given to individuals. Sartre seems to be completely rejecting any ideas of determinism or fate as factors influencing one’s life. The Greeks, on the other hand, speak constantly of the impact of fate and the actions of the gods on the lives of individuals. Perhaps the most …
