More Than A Place, Charlie Sweet, Hal Blythe

Hal Blythe

Many stories fail to capture the reader's interest even though they have a clear point of view, well-rounded characters and an interesting plot. What's missing? One key element that writers frequently overlook is setting. They treat it merely as backdrop.

Hal Blythe

Shows how the mini-casebook approach, with a few modifications, works well with upper-division writing assignments.

Hawthorne's Dating Problem In "The Scarlet Letter", Charlie Sweet, Hal Blythe

Hal Blythe

This article explores the dating problem in Nathaniel Hawthorne's novel, The Scarlet Letter. In The Custom House, Hawthorne relates how he discovers several foolscap sheets written by a predecessor, Mr. Surveyor Pue, about Hester Prynne. These six sheets supposedly offer two types of accounts about Hester: aged persons, alive in the time of Pue and from whose oral testimony he had made up his narrative, remembered her, in their youth and those who had heard the tale from contemporary witnesses. A dating problem arises with the first group. Critics concur that historical documents place the events in The Scarlet Letter …

Hemingway's "The Killers", Charlie Sweet, Hal Blythe

Hal Blythe

In his seminal study Hemingway and the Dead Gods, John Killinger relates Papa's fictional world to existententialism, concluding that Hemingway sees that individuality is not a quality which can be superimposed externally on a man, but that it must be internally achieved by a decision to be at all times an authentic person and to accept the full responsibility of action proper to a primary agent. In his philosophy, as in that of Kierkegaard, Heidegger, and Sartre, the opportunity for such a decision is presented as a moment of crisis, which, for him, is produced by confronting death or violence.

Illustrating The Music Of The Mass: A Case Study, Elizabeth Teviotdale

Elizabeth C Teviotdale

A study of the figural decoration of a late 11th-century gradual from Toulouse (London, BL, MS Harley 4951, fols. 121-301), concluding that the psalmodic origin of the texts of many chants of the mass informed the way in which those of the 11th century conceived the chants.

Performed Subjectivity: The Absence Of Interiority In Pamela, Adrianne Wadewitz

Adrianne Wadewitz

In this paper I will challenge the dominant reading of Pamela that argues that Richardson constructs an interiorized character in Pamela through her letters and her occupation of the private space of the closet. I will contend, on the other hand, that Pamela does not have an independent, identifiable private self because of the performative nature of her letters and her movements; she develops subjectivity only when she performs. Furthermore, she performs various ‘roles’ such as maid, wife and lover, thus not inhabiting any one identity. Pamela does not so much present either a publication of the private or a …

Cultural Representation. Iconographic Analysis Or Early American Tango Sheet Music, Oscar Macchioni

Oscar Macchioni

Article.

In the last ten years, perhaps more than ever, the Argentine tango has kept the attention of composers, performers, recording companies, film makers, and audiences all over the world. There are two major periods of time when the tango enjoyed international attention. The first period, in the early 1900's, was driven by the general fever for the exotic, supported by the world fairs, as well as by radio broadcasting and the development of the transportation, film, printing and recording industries. The second period, in the 1980's, was driven almost exclusively by the entertainment industry.

Rowan Cahill

Review of Drew Cottle, 'The Brisbane Line - A Reappraisal' (Upfront Publishing, Leicestershire, 2003), a scholarly study of elements of the Australian ruling class during the 1930s and their close relationships with Japan, and the proposition that in the event of Australia being invaded by Japan during the Second World War, these elements would have collaborated.

The Overdetermining Religious Rhetoric(S) Of Blake’S And Paine’S Theosophies, Adrianne Wadewitz

Adrianne Wadewitz

Emphasizing a conflict between Paine the rationalist and Blake the prophet, scholars studying the relationship between Blake’s and Paine’s religious writings have chosen to focus more heavily on the political rather than the religious aspects of the texts. For example, John Coates writes that ‘Paine and Blake epitomise the two poles of a revolutionary dialectic between political pragmatism, action, rational planning on the one hand, and on the other, the constant need for visionary flexibility, a relation to change as a whole process, rather than one final goal’ (Woodcock and Coates, Combative Styles 104-5). This is, I believe, a simplified …
