Idealization And Desire In The Hundred Acre Wood: A.A. Milne And Christopher (Robin), Laura Bright
Idealization And Desire In The Hundred Acre Wood: A.A. Milne And Christopher (Robin), Laura Bright
Laura E Bright
Argues that A.A. Milne's Winnie-the-Pooh and The House at Pooh Corner represent the conscious rejection, unconscious reproduction, and re-imaging of the author's traumatic Victorian childhood.
Imagining Woman Otherwise, Or Nothing: Sexuation As Discourse In Lacanian Thought, Rahna Carusi
Imagining Woman Otherwise, Or Nothing: Sexuation As Discourse In Lacanian Thought, Rahna Carusi
Rahna M Carusi
My dissertation looks at the connections between Lacan’s four discourses and the sexuation graph in order to claim that sexuation is discursive and that, as Lacan presents it with the phallus as its quilting point, the sexuation graph is a narrative based on patriarchal hegemony, which is one of many possible narratives. I argue that through the hysteric’s discourse and a removal of the phallus as the Symbolic-Imaginary quilting point, we can begin to formulate new narratives of sexuated subjectivities. The textual objects I use for this project are literary and filmic works where women are the central topic or …

Woolf’S Mrs. Dalloway, John Young
Woolf’S Mrs. Dalloway, John Young
John K. Young
The famous skywriting scene in Virginia Woolf’s Mrs. Dalloway owes more to 1920s advertising culture than has been previously recognized. In their rapt reading of the “Kreemo” aerial ad, the London pedestrians create both a commentary on consumerism and a model of collaborative, modernist reading.
Writing Lab Reports, Roger Munger
Writing Lab Reports, Roger Munger
Roger Munger
Scientists and engineers spend a significant portion of their professional lives writing, because communicating ideas in writing is central to the process of creating and publicizing knowledge. Lab reports are one important way they communicate the results of their work. Adding new knowledge to a field is the collective effort of many people, each contributing small pieces of information and building on the work of others. Although scientists and engineers might work alone or in small groups in a lab, if they want to contribute to their fields, they must convince readers that their findings are valid. For this reason, …

Arbitrary Power, Spencer Hall
Spencer Hall
Arbitrary Power: Romanticism, Language, Politics by William Keach is reviewed. The book is praised for its assessment of the language and style of Romantic poetry in light of history.
Shelley's Mont Blanc, Spencer Hall
Shelley's Mont Blanc, Spencer Hall
Spencer Hall
"Mont Blanc" studies the relationship between the poet and the omnipotent. Spencer Hall questions the attribution of the supernatural to Shelley's thinking. Hall sees Shelley as creating a non-transcendental and hybrid confluence of emotions and ideas. Shelley concept of the sublime is not intuited by the poet, but rather constructed and projected by him. It is a process in which the imagination is primary.
Wordworth's "Lucy" Poems, Spencer Hall
Wordworth's "Lucy" Poems, Spencer Hall
Spencer Hall
This essay seeks to provide meaning and a context for interpretation of the Romantic "Lucy" poems by William Wordsworth. Hall argues against two critics' opposing interpretations by suggesting the meaning is humanistic which provides somewhat of a clarity into Wordsworth's poetic development. Hall suggests that his proposed context into these poems isn't merely one dimensional, but multi-faceted and draws upon other critics.
Refashioning A Wordsworthian Tradition, Spencer Hall
Refashioning A Wordsworthian Tradition, Spencer Hall
Spencer Hall
In this review of the critical approaches to Wordsworthian study, Spencer Hall discusses the contrast between theory and academic study of Wordsworthian poetry and their links to each other. Wordsworth is discussed in that of the "problematic Wordsworth" and that of the "programmatic Wordsworth." The two sides show how one thought was a product of imagination which was perpetuated in our time and the other from current academic theories. Hall brings to the forefront that by recognizing the interconnectedness of Wordsworthian studies and contemporary theorizing, the issues of literary studies and liberal education can be engaged with Wordsworth.
Beyond The Realms Of Dream, Spencer Hall
Beyond The Realms Of Dream, Spencer Hall
Spencer Hall
Mary Shelley's Alastor is analyzed in light of the relationship between Gothic and Romantic literature. The relationship between Gothicism and Romanticism is assessed in light of literature. Shelly's poem is held up as a representation of mature Gothic literature owing a debt to Romanticism.
The Ideal, The Rhetorical, And The Erotic, Spencer Hall
The Ideal, The Rhetorical, And The Erotic, Spencer Hall
Spencer Hall
In this review of English Romanticism Spencer Hall examines two works in regards to the intense interest in P. B. Shelley's works. Hall uses many examples to demonstrate why Shelley has become so popular and why he will be in the years to come. With the ongoing critical reexamination of Shelley's works, and evidence of teachers use in their classrooms and in undergraduate studies, the passionate intensity that is undertaken affirms how "hot" Shelley really is.
Intended For The Stage?: Samson Agonistes In Performance, Timothy Burbery
Intended For The Stage?: Samson Agonistes In Performance, Timothy Burbery
Timothy J. Burbery
The year 2000 marked the centenary of an important but overlooked milestone in Milton studies, namely the first staging of Samson Agonistes, by William Poel, in 1900. While many scholars may be aware of isolated productions of the tragedy, the extent and variety of its stage history is perhaps less well-known. The work was successful as a dramatic reading throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, yet it had never been attempted on the boards until Poel’s landmark production. That event ushered in a range of performances throughout the twentieth century, and nearly every decade saw several dramatizations. At least fifteen …
John Milton, Blackfriars Spectator?: "Elegia Prima" And Ben Jonson's The Staple Of News, Timothy Burbery
John Milton, Blackfriars Spectator?: "Elegia Prima" And Ben Jonson's The Staple Of News, Timothy Burbery
Timothy J. Burbery
In the spring of 1626 John Milton was temporarily expelled from Cambridge University, perhaps over a quarrel with his tutor William Chappell, and sent home to London, where he remained for at least several weeks. There, the seventeen-year-old poet composed his first elegy, a Latin verse-letter to his closest friend, Charles Diodati. In it, Milton claims to be enjoying his unexpected holiday by reading, girl watching, and attending the theater. Milton scholars have never reached consensus about his alleged playgoing, for while the young man speaks as a spectator, the plots and characters he mentions-these include comic types such as …

The Weddynge Of Sir Gawen And Dame Ragnell: Performance And Intertextuality In Middle English Popular Romance, Linda Marie Zaerr
The Weddynge Of Sir Gawen And Dame Ragnell: Performance And Intertextuality In Middle English Popular Romance, Linda Marie Zaerr
Linda Marie Zaerr
Actual performance by a particular voice and body for a physically present audience can provide information that validates and redirects theoretical understanding of textual variation. Paul Zumthor's concept of mouvance, a graphic representation of intertextuality in which virtual models function as the vertical axis and actual variations the horizontal axis,1 has provided a vehicle for addressing the variation so characteristic of Middle English verse romances. The term mouvance may also be used to describe the degree and quality of variation of a performance event from the text on which it is based.2 The mouvance recorded in a memorized performance of …

Medieval And Modern Deletions Of Repellent Passages In Medieval Texts, Linda Marie Zaerr
Medieval And Modern Deletions Of Repellent Passages In Medieval Texts, Linda Marie Zaerr
Linda Marie Zaerr
The Middle English popular romances provide some of the most intriguing variants among medieval texts. Deletions in the Middle English manuscripts of Sir Beues of Hamtoun evince characteristics that cannot be entirely explained by scribal activity. The most significant omissions follow two patterns, both of which operate to diminish Princess Josian's active role in the plot. My personal performance experience with another Middle English text may provide insight into the purpose and motivation for these changes and the process which may have engendered them.
Cil D'Aval Et Cil D'Amont: Borderlands And The Woman Jogleor In Aucassin Et Nicolette, Linda Marie Zaerr
Cil D'Aval Et Cil D'Amont: Borderlands And The Woman Jogleor In Aucassin Et Nicolette, Linda Marie Zaerr
Linda Marie Zaerr
A modern performance of Aucassin et Nicolette which takes into consideration reasonable options for performance in thirteenth‐century France reveals certain propensities which are invisible when the text is treated strictly as a literary work. Aucassin et Nicolette is fraught with reversal, yet each reversal, empowered in a border realm through the agency of performance, leads to union. Thus this work which has survived only as a literary text, when embodied in modem performance by a woman jogleor, conveys reversals not evident in the text alone and reflects postmodern ethnographic principles of cultural flexibility in performance.

The Politics Of Cather’S Regionalism: Margins, Centers And The Nebraskan Commonwealth, Guy Reynolds
The Politics Of Cather’S Regionalism: Margins, Centers And The Nebraskan Commonwealth, Guy Reynolds
Guy J Reynolds
Willa Cather remains a central figure in literary regionalism because she puts the central tenets of regionalism under intellectual pressure. One of the most familiar ways of thinking about American regions has been to think about an opposition between ‘section’ and ‘region’. Region tends to be used to define a geographical area, whereas a section denotes political or cultural identity. Cather is almost a sectionalist in her focus on the cultural and intellectual distinctiveness of the Nebraskan Commonwealth; but the very term itself links Nebraska to Virginia, rupturing a simple sense of section. Cather has a geographer’s sense of regional …
Making Strangers Indelible: Eggers, Ondaatje, And Civil War, Guy Reynolds
Making Strangers Indelible: Eggers, Ondaatje, And Civil War, Guy Reynolds
Guy J Reynolds
With no-doubt foreseen timeliness, the German social theorist Ulrich Beck argued in 2000 that a new era had begun. Describing a ‘Second Age of Modernity,’ he stated that ‘towards the end of the twentieth century the condition humana opens up anew… A new kind of capitalism, a new kind of economy, a new kind of global order, a new kind of politics and law, and a new kind of society and personal life are in the making, which both separately and in context are clearly distinct from earlier phases of social evolution.’ Beck pointed to an explosion of ‘empirical indicators …
A Biocultural Approach To Literary Theory And Interpretation, Nancy Easterlin
A Biocultural Approach To Literary Theory And Interpretation, Nancy Easterlin
Nancy Easterlin
Combining cognitive and evolutionary research with traditional humanist methods, Nancy Easterlin demonstrates how a biocultural perspective in theory and criticism opens up new possibilities for literary interpretation. Easterlin maintains that the practice of literary interpretation is still of central intellectual and social value. Taking an open yet judicious approach, she argues, however, that literary interpretation stands to gain dramatically from a fair-minded and creative application of cognitive and evolutionary research. This work does just that, expounding a biocultural method that charts a middle course between overly reductive approaches to literature and traditionalists who see the sciences as a threat to …
“Deep Into That Darkness Peering”: An Essay On Gothic Nature, Tom Hillard
“Deep Into That Darkness Peering”: An Essay On Gothic Nature, Tom Hillard
Tom J. Hillard
When the anxious narrator of Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven" first hears the gentle "rapping at my chamber door" that disturbs his reading of "many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore," he imagines its source to be some human "visitor" that has come knocking (58). Cast into a state of apprehension by thoughts of his recently deceased beloved Lenore, he "open[s] wide the door" to find only "Darkness there, and nothing more" (Poe 58). In a powerful moment pregnant with anticipation and dread, he stands there, "Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing, / …

... white envy of black history, even though that history is written with whips and chains, extends to countless other visual and aural signifiers of black culture; in today's suburban enclaves it's hip-hop culture that brings the 'flava' to what many white kids apprehend as a flavorless cultural landscape.
