Teaching Texts Materially: The Ends Of Nella Larsen’S Passing, John K. Young
Teaching Texts Materially: The Ends Of Nella Larsen’S Passing, John K. Young
John K. Young
The author suggests that attending to the publishing history of Larsen’s novel and the resulting indeterminacy of its ending(s) offers a concrete example of a materially oriented pedagogy that can illuminate the racial politics behind textual production and its relation to particular historical and cultural moments. He suggests that such a pedagogy offers both another way of understanding the textual contingency emphasized in contemporary theory and a way of further opening up questions of textuality and meaning for students.
Explicating Poetry: Shakespeare's Sonnet 46, Adam Kotlarczyk
Explicating Poetry: Shakespeare's Sonnet 46, Adam Kotlarczyk
Adam Kotlarczyk
The term “explication” comes from a Latin participle of explico, which means to “unfold” or “disentangle.” The term is often applied to philosophy and to literature; in literature, it has become a procedure very important to New Criticism. In the process of explication, a reader forges a detailed analysis of the structural and figurative components within a work, focusing on ambiguities, multiple possibilities of interpretation, and interrelationships between various elements of the text. This lesson introduces students to explication through the reading of a complex poem, practice explicating it as a class, and reading a model explication about the poem. …

A Western Man Of Color: Richard Wright And The World, Guy J. Reynolds
A Western Man Of Color: Richard Wright And The World, Guy J. Reynolds
Guy J Reynolds
Richard Wright had become by the mid 50s an analyst of what it means to be ‘of’ the West. He was by now a firmly-established émigré, and had become a French citizen in 1947. His journeys, in a way, had only just become: Europe was a stage or an inauguration into further mappings of the self and society. Those mappings took the extraordinary geo-political shifts of the mid-century as their subject. In the wake of the Second World War, severely damaged economically and in terms of sheer power, European nations were finally forced to give ground to the nationalist movements …

Undergraduate research (UR) programs attract highly motivated students who often continue on to graduate/professional schools but may lack necessary information literacy skills. Collaboration with UR programs provides librarians new opportunities to help students develop these skills and work with specialized collections in the context of a research experience. In this webinar, librarians and UR administrators share their experiences in forging collaborations based on UR and library training resources, explain how information literacy skills programming has been embedded into UR, and demonstrate how this partnership has led to greater visibility of library services, collections and UR among all undergraduates.
Reading And Writing Race In Ireland, Maureen Reddy
Reading And Writing Race In Ireland, Maureen Reddy
Maureen T. Reddy
In following Henry's education in race matters -- one trajectory of the plot -- the novel foregrounds the many absurdities attending on the tragic history of racism in the U.S. Doyle's interest in race is not in fact new with this novel, which readers of the monthly Metro Eireann would know, as Doyle has been publishing stories centered on race issues in that venue since 2000. This essay examines the first five of those stories, particularily in their relation to emerging discources of race in Ireland.
Flowers Of Rhetoric: The Evolving Use Of The Language Of Flowers In Margaret Fuller’S Dial Sketches And Poetry, Elizabeth Stoddard’S The Morgesons, Edith Wharton’S Summer, Mary Austin’S Santa Lucia And Cactus Thorn, And Susan Glaspell’S The Verge, Corinne Kopcik Rhyner
Corinne Kopcik Rhyner
The language of flowers was a popular phenomenon in the United States in the nineteenth century. This dissertation on American literature looks at several American women authors’ use of the language of flowers in their novels. I examine the use of the language of flowers in Margaret Fuller’s “Magnolia of Lake Pontachartain,” “Yuca Filamentosa,” and poetry such as “To Sarah,” Elizabeth Stoddard’s The Morgesons, Edith Wharton’s Summer, Mary Austin’s Santa Lucia: A Common Story and Cactus Thorn, and Susan Glaspell’s The Verge. Through analysis of language of flowers dictionaries, historical studies of the language of flowers, feminist history and theory, …

"Live Oak, With Moss" And "Calamus": Textual Inhibitions In Whitman Criticism, Steven Olsen-Smith, Hershel Parker
"Live Oak, With Moss" And "Calamus": Textual Inhibitions In Whitman Criticism, Steven Olsen-Smith, Hershel Parker
Steven Olsen-Smith
Examines "inhibiting assumptions--textual and aesthetic, not sexual"--that the authors believe "have persisted, apparently not so much unacknowledged by ... critics, but unrecognized" in the "Calamus" cluster in Leaves of Grass; reviews previous readings of "Calamus" and explores textual issues related to Whitman's editing and rearrangement of the cluster

Bret Harte, Mark Twain And The Art Of Western Storytelling, Tara Penry
Bret Harte, Mark Twain And The Art Of Western Storytelling, Tara Penry
Tara Penry
Many clichés of the U.S. western mythos have been traced to nineteenth-century California writer Bret Harte, including the gambler, the prostitute with a heart of gold, and more. Harte's reputation languishes today largely because of his association with clichés. This lecture offers fresh reasons for appreciating this short-story writer and compares his vision of America and humanity with the vision of the friend-turned-detractor whose reputation outshines Harte's today: Mark Twain. The lecture provides some insight into how the Harte-Twain relationship might have contributed to Harte's eclipse. Enrollees may expect to leave the lecture ready to read both Harte and Twain …
Fairy Tale Stylization Project, Dan Gleason
Fairy Tale Stylization Project, Dan Gleason
Dan Gleason
The Fairy Tale project is a group project that captures the key distinctions in literary style that we analyze in our Modern World Fiction class. In that class, we look at fiction through the lens of different stylistic flavors: maximalism, minimalism, ludic (playful) style, surrealism, and magical realism. The fairy tale project helps students look back on all these different styles, reflect on them, and note their key features and differences more clearly. In this project, groups of students will rewrite a fairy tale in all (five) literary styles. Each member of the group will rewrite the tale in one …
Experiencing Literary Self-Consciousness In The Classroom, Dan Gleason
Experiencing Literary Self-Consciousness In The Classroom, Dan Gleason
Dan Gleason
This activity is a fun and even bizarre response to John Barth’s highly self-referential story “Lost in the Funhouse.” In that story, Barth comments extensively on the writing as it happens (as he makes it happen), alerting the reader to the conventions of fiction as he deploys them. The following activity brings such jarring commentary into the classroom by leading students to call out the conventions of the classroom as they happen; the activity makes students live the experience of interruptive meta-commentary and can thus lead to vibrant discussion on the commentary in the story, too.
Sketching California: The Ethnographic Work Of Gold Rush Literature, 1850--1870, Tara Penry
Sketching California: The Ethnographic Work Of Gold Rush Literature, 1850--1870, Tara Penry
Tara Penry
This study proposes reading small-press "regional" periodicals to discover a more diverse set of traditions in U.S. literary history. In particular, it compares the complex representations of western culture in the literary modes of Gold Rush California magazines with the simplified "local color" view of the west that northeastern magazines disseminated. Chapter one surveys Gold Rush demographics and the history of publishing and related institutions in California of the 1850s and '60s. In chapter two, the picturesque mode is shown to encourage immigration by portraying California as a worthy destination for people of taste. The sentimental mode (chapter 3) offers …

Man Poems: From Beer And Gears To Grills And Girls, Christopher Ward
Christopher Ward
Man Poems: From Beer and Gears to Grills and Girls is a collection of poetry aimed at males between the ages of 20-40. From casual observation, including the spectacular wonders of alcohol and the female body, to the humorous: re-visiting the classic heavy rock hits of the 1980s, the varied works of Man Poems offer an interesting look into the mind and surroundings of author Christopher Ward.

Rachel Carson, Karen Stein
Rachel Carson, Karen Stein
Karen F Stein
Rachel Carson is the twentieth century's most significant environmentalist. Her books about the sea blend science and poetry as they invite readers to share her celebration of the ocean's wonders. Silent Spring, her compelling expose of the damage caused by the widespread aerial spraying of persistent organic pesticides such as DDT, opened our eyes to the interconnectedness of all living beings and the ecological systems we inhabit. Carson's work challenges the belief that science and technology can control the natural world. She calls us to rekindle our sense of wonder at nature's power and beauty, and to tread lightly on …
Abraham Lincoln & The Colony On Ile-A-Vache, Robert Bray
Abraham Lincoln & The Colony On Ile-A-Vache, Robert Bray
Robert Bray
Just after the Emancipation Proclamation went into effect (1 Jan 1863) Abraham Lincoln signed a contract with two New York capitalists to transport 500 newly-freed ex-slaves to Ile-a-Vache, Haiti, where they would, under company supervision, found and maintain a colony. From the start, little went right. Failure was due largely to mismanagement and chicanery on the part of the company. The emigrants lived (and died) miserably on Ile-a-Vache for nearly a year, until they were returned to the U. S. on a government transport ship in March, 1864. The debacle seems to have cured Lincoln of his fascination with colonization.
