Revising Lives: Bernard Shaw And His Biographer, Sarah Wadsworth
Revising Lives: Bernard Shaw And His Biographer, Sarah Wadsworth
English Faculty Research and Publications
Shaw's galley revisions of Archibald Henderson's 1932 biography, Bernard Shaw: Playboy and Prophet, reveal a unique collaboration between biographer and subject. The result is a subversion of biographical conventions, in which the assumed voice of the biographer lends credence and authority to the disguised voice of the subject.

Review Of Our Ladies Of Darkness: Feminine Daemonology In Male Gothic Fiction By Joseph Adriano, Diane Hoeveler
Review Of Our Ladies Of Darkness: Feminine Daemonology In Male Gothic Fiction By Joseph Adriano, Diane Hoeveler
English Faculty Research and Publications
It takes a brave soul to publish a "post-Jungian" study of female archetypes in fiction written by nineteenth-century men these days.

"Does Romanticism have a gender?" Anne Mellor poses this straightforward question at the beginning of her latest book, a valuable and most welcome addition to the burgeoning field of English Romanticism and gender studies. Her affirmative answer, supported by examining twenty of the most influential women publishing between 1780 and 1830, allows her to claim that "a paradigm shift in our conceptual understanding of British literary Romanticism occurs when we give equal weight to the thought and writing of the women of the period" (p. i).

Decapitating Romance: Class, Fetish, And Ideology In Keats’S Isabella, Diane Hoeveler
Decapitating Romance: Class, Fetish, And Ideology In Keats’S Isabella, Diane Hoeveler
English Faculty Research and Publications
Critics of Keats's Isabella; or, The Pot of Basil (1818) traditionally focus on the poem's "transitional" status between the early Endymion and the later and much greater odes. This article reads the poem as a shocking and angry poem by interrogating the meanings of the decapitated head that lies at the core of the text. By interrogating the head I read the work as an expression of Keats's attempt to bury his grief for his parents' deaths, to repudiate his middle-class origins, and to deny his attraction to "Romance," the popular Gothic ballad tradition of his day. The text explores …
