Dragged Into The Past: A Major Motif In Munro's 'Walker Brothers Cowboy', Charlie Sweet, Hal Blythe
Dragged Into The Past: A Major Motif In Munro's 'Walker Brothers Cowboy', Charlie Sweet, Hal Blythe
Hal Blythe
Alice Munro's "Walker Brothers Cowboy" (The Norton Anthology of World Literature. Ed. Sarah Lawall. NY: Norton, 2002) is bracketed by similar images that establish the futility of trying to stop time. At the beginning of story, in order to explain to the narrator how the glaciers formed the Great Lakes, the father "shows me his hand with his spread fingers pressing the rock-hard ground where we are sitting. His fingers hardly make any impression at all ... " (3012); at the conclusion as Ben Jordan, the father, and his children prepare to return home from their odyssey, Nora Cronin touches …

Taking Note: Text And Context In Virginia Woolf's "Mr. Bennett And Mrs. Brown", Eve Sorum
Taking Note: Text And Context In Virginia Woolf's "Mr. Bennett And Mrs. Brown", Eve Sorum
Eve C Sorum
In this article I argue that the note attached to “Mr. Bennett and Mrs. Brown,” which states that it was “A paper read to the Heretics, Cambridge, on May 18, 1924," is central to our interpretation of Woolf’s essay, especially in relation to contexts that politicize, historicize, or aestheticize the text. I trace the different manifestations of "Mr. Bennett and Mrs. Brown" in order to reveal the contextual and textual ways in which Woolf and the organs in which she published directed interpretation and dealt with the essay as an aesthetic object enmeshed in history. The note will prove an …
Sticks And Stones: Violence And The Creation Of The Self In Late Eighteenth-Century Children’S Literature, Adrianne Wadewitz
Sticks And Stones: Violence And The Creation Of The Self In Late Eighteenth-Century Children’S Literature, Adrianne Wadewitz
Adrianne Wadewitz
In Dorothy Kilner’s The Life and Perambulation of a Mouse (1783), Nimble watches as a little boy tortures his brother Brighteyes by using him as a plaything for the cat. Soon after, though, the little boy himself is similarly whipped by his father so that he will learn to feel the suffering of others and restrain his power over the weak. Such scenes of physical violence abound in eighteenth-century children’s texts: idle, dishonest, and disobedient children experience not only direct physical punishment such as this little boy’s but also indirect punishments such as illnesses, burnings and drownings; perhaps more surprisingly, …

Of Mice And Men: Discipline, Sympathy, And The Self In Late Eighteenth-Century Children’S Literature, Adrianne Wadewitz
Adrianne Wadewitz
In Dorothy Kilner’s The Life and Perambulations of a Mouse (1783), Nimble watches as his brother Brighteyes is made the cat’s plaything by a cruel little boy. Soon after, though, the little boy is whipped himself by his father so that he will properly appreciate and regret the suffering that he caused the mouse and learn to restrain exercising his power over the weak. Such scenes of physical violence abound in eighteenth-century children’s texts: idle, dishonest, and disobedient children experience not only direct physical punishments like this beating but also indirect punishments such as illnesses, burnings and drownings; even patient, …

Mourning And Moving On: Life After War In Ford Madox Ford’S The Last Post, Eve Sorum
Mourning And Moving On: Life After War In Ford Madox Ford’S The Last Post, Eve Sorum
Eve C Sorum
Ford Madox Ford’s tetralogy Parade’s End—a story of World War I and its aftermath—is often passed over in the line-up of war literature. In part this may have to do with Ford’s method of narrating the war, which is an exercise in obliterated terrain, truncated views, and narrative gaps. Readers also criticize the final novel in the tetralogy, The Last Post (1928), as a dispiriting conclusion to an otherwise astounding sequence, and Ford himself expressed doubts about its publication. The uncertainties surrounding The Last Post reflect, I believe, the novel’s unsuccessful continuance of the narrative techniques used in the preceding …
