Fools And Folly, Edam Monograph Series 22, Clifford Davidson Dec 1995

Fools And Folly, Edam Monograph Series 22, Clifford Davidson

Clifford Davidson

The Fool in the Middle Ages and Early Modern period was either a person who capitalized on his natural deficiencies, which were then considered amusing, or a professional entertainer the artificial Fool who specialized in clowning. His distinctive clothing and bauble are known to us through numerous Psalter illustrations where he is shown in connection with Psalm 52, which asserts that The fool has said in his heart there is no God. Attitudes toward the Fool varied, but his place was to become assured on stage, where his role is best known to us through the plays of Shakespeare. The …

Hemingway And Gender History, Rena Sanderson Dec 1995

Hemingway And Gender History, Rena Sanderson

Irene (Rena) M. Sanderson

Hemingway's boxing metaphor and the male opponents (emphasized by the masculine forms of address) neatly convey his belief -- this was before the discovery that Anonymous was a woman --that the world of writing should be a man's world, a boxing gym, no women allowed. And truly, his New Yorker performance and other, even less subtle, public displays have made "Papa Hemingway" synonymous with a stereotypical notion of masculinity. It is a standard rule of reading imaginative literature that one should distinguish between an author's actual life and the lives that appear in his or her fiction, but for many …

Harmful Eloquence: Ovid’S “Amores” From Antiquity To Shakespeare, M. Stapleton Dec 1995

Harmful Eloquence: Ovid’S “Amores” From Antiquity To Shakespeare, M. Stapleton

M. L. Stapleton

"Harmful Eloquence: Ovid's 'Amores' from Antiquity to Shakespeare" traces the influence of the early elegiac poetry of Ovid on European literature from 500-1600 c.e. The Amores served as a classical model for love poetry in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance and were essential to the formation of "fin' Amors, or "courtly love." Medieval Latin poets, the troubadours, Dante, Petrarch, and Shakespeare were all familiar with Ovid in his various forms, and all depended greatly upon his Amores in composing their "cansos, canzoniere, and sonnets. "Harmful Eloquence" begins with a detailed analysis of the Amores themselves and their artistic unity. …

'The Big Canvass": An Interview With Mazisi Kunene, Chukwuma Azuonye Dec 1995

'The Big Canvass": An Interview With Mazisi Kunene, Chukwuma Azuonye

Chukwuma Azuonye

In the present interview, recorded in his office, in July,1996, during an NEH Summer-long Seminar on the Literature and Culture of the New South Africa in which I participated, Kunene reflects on the challenges of the New South Africa and offers some illuminating insights into the impetus behind his choice of the epic as a mode of communication, his interest in the African world view and cosmology, the variety of his writing and interests beyond the epics for which he was best known, and his vision of the commonalty of all African cultures. In this, as in his creative writings, …
