Twisty Little Passages: The Several Editions Of Lady Caroline Lamb's Glenarvon, Paul Douglass Jan 2009

Twisty Little Passages: The Several Editions Of Lady Caroline Lamb's Glenarvon, Paul Douglass

Paul Douglass

A literary criticism of the book "Glenarvon," by Lady Caroline Lamb is presented. It presents the symbolic significance of the characters. It outlines the consequences of denying true love and the importance of aristocratic leadership and self-control. It examines the preface of the book in which the author states that the novel is not immoral even with the inclusion of crimes and she asks readers to recognize that her intention of writing the book is to describe human nature.


Masque Scenery And The Tradition Of Immobilization In The First Part Of The Countess Of Montgomery's Urania, Julie Campbell Apr 2008

Masque Scenery And The Tradition Of Immobilization In The First Part Of The Countess Of Montgomery's Urania, Julie Campbell

Julie Campbell

This study addresses two of the pivotal magical interventions in The First Part of The Countess of Montgomery's Urania, specifically those in which Wroth makes use of the masque tradition of immobilization: the Three Towers of the House of Love and the Marble Theatre on an island in the Gulf of Venice. In these enchantments, which include architecturally fantastic structures, music, and the symbolically posed, stilled characters, Wroth creates masque-like ‘idealized fictions’ that emblematize the romantic relationships she depicts. They are meant to elevate the sometimes sordid realities of real relationships to a higher allegorical plane on which the virtue …

Die A Graphic Death:" Revisiting The Death Of Genre With Graphic Novels, James Carter Dec 2007

Die A Graphic Death:" Revisiting The Death Of Genre With Graphic Novels, James Carter

James B Carter

A revisitation of the concept of genre as it applies to graphica. I argue, as have others, that comics is a medium or art form rather than a genre. But, I also illustrate the concept for rhetoric's sake.

Anonymity, Corporate Authority And The Archive: The Production Of Authorship In Late-Victorian England, Rachel Buurma Dec 2006

Anonymity, Corporate Authority And The Archive: The Production Of Authorship In Late-Victorian England, Rachel Buurma

Rachel S Buurma

This essay considers the persistence of collective and corporate models of literary authority within late-Victorian literature and print culture. While modern critics often understand Victorian authorship to be individually centered and governed by a dynamic of secrecy and disclosure, the periodical debates about anonymity that intensified in the fin de siècle suggest that Victorian readers and writers embraced a more flexible, collective notion of authorship. The plot, language, and paratext of Mary Elizabeth Hawker's pseudonymously published Mademoiselle Ixe, as well as the author-publisher correspondence concerning the novel, offer a representation of the corporate and collective interpretive modes that would have …


An Unpublished Letter Of Lord Byron To Lady Caroline Lamb, Paul Douglass Sep 2006

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, …

What Lord Byron Learned From Lady Caroline Lamb, Paul Douglass Jul 2005

What Lord Byron Learned From Lady Caroline Lamb, Paul Douglass

Paul Douglass

Lady Caroline Lamb fictionalized the Byronic persona in Glenarvon (1816) and gave voice to the female characters that remain largely silent in Byron’s early work. Byron responded to her mimicry and to the female perspective of Glenarvon by creating a feminized hero and strong speaking roles for women in Don Juan, though his stated purpose was to undermine, not uphold, feminine power.
