Hotspell, Carla Thomas

Inscape

Nothing was right about that summer. There was a kind of desperate madness about it. Sometimes, when Jeanine insisted on giving a midnight sermon on the advantages of her forthcoming civil marriage , I'd lie quietly on my bed and make listening sounds while strange voices competed with Jeanine's for my attention .

A Case Of Double Inscription: Carlos De Sigüenza Y Góngora's Infortunios De Alonso Ramírez, Lee H. Dowling

Quidditas

Among the early works of Latin American prose literature, Carlos de Sigüenza y Góngora's Infortunios de Alonso Ramírez has attracted a relatively large share of critical attention. Much of this has stemmed from an interest in tracing the antecedents of the Latin American novel – the novel believed to represent a prestigious literary genre whose comparatively late appearance in Latin America has been the theme of much discussion. While such interest led a number of critics to reread Infortunios and other comparable early works with renewed interest, evaluations stemming from the search for a nucleus of characteristics derived from the …

Poetic Discourse And Performance Text: Toward A Semiotics Of The Comedia, Edward H. Friedman

Quidditas

"... to read the sign is not only to understand its function in the aesthetic or fictional ensemble to the exclusion of the outside world, it is to seek the link between the sign and the referer, the aesthetic and the political, delirium and deliverance."

The Grand Peur Of 1348-49: The Shock Wave Of The Black Death In The German Southwest, Steven Rowan

Quidditas

The massacre of most fo the Jewish communities in Western Germany and what is now Switzerland between late 1348 and the middle of 1349 permanently altered the position of Jews in Central Europe, both by shifting the Jewish population eastward and by moving those Jews who remained behind to the periphery of economic society. A close examination of the chronology of the massacres on the local level rapidly disproves the traditional interpretation that the massacres were attacks of the classic 'scapegoat' type made in response to the onset of the first great modern European plague. Although the first massacres outside …

Violence And The Plague In Aragón, 1348-1351, Melanie V. Shirk

Quidditas

As Philip Ziegler has noted, "Statistics alone cannot provide an adequate picture of the Black Death." To say that one-quarter or one-third or one-half of Europe's population perished within a few years gains the reader's attention, but does not convey what such a brutal calamity meant to the average person at the time. The fourteenth century suffered many calamities, but the sudden and mysterious appearance of the Black Death, with no known cause or cure, msut surely have been the most terrifying.

The Nonconformists Of Leeds In The Early Victorian Era: A Study In Social Composition, Susan L. Fales

Theses and Dissertations

This thesis examined the Nonconformist denominational membership in the Borough of Leeds during the early Victorian era to determine the social composition of its members. The chapel goers of Old Dissent, represented by the Unitarians, Baptists, Independents, and the Society of Friends, and New Dissent, represented by the Wesleyan Methodists, Methodist New Connexion, Primitive Methodists and the Mormons were the basis for this study. The results of the occupational, residential, family, and migration analysis revealed a surprisingly high percentage of working classes (72) represented among the Dissenters. This fact flys in the face of contemporary observation and historical investigation, which …

Radicals And Immigrants: Senator William H. King's Response To Nativism, 1917-1924, Craig D. Galli

Theses and Dissertations

When Senator William Henry King took office in 1917, Utah and the nation were apprehensive about the presence of large numbers of foreign born aliens and citizens. Utah's King joined the wartime hysteria and promoted many nativistic policies directed against the foreign born population. During the post-war Red Scare he continued his crusade, concentrating on the suppression of Bolsheviks and the Industrial Workers of the World.

But when Congress passed the Immigration Act of 1924--a nativistic law designed to curtail the immigration of southern and eastern Europeans--King was the bill's only opponent from the West or South. Since anti-radicalism and …

Confession In A Light-Wrapped Room, Carla Thomas

Inscape

I began to lose confidence in Dr. Swain when I entered his waiting room for the first time and found it was painted pink. In all the years it must have taken him to finish his Ph.D. in psychology, you'd think he'd have learned something about the psychology of color. Pink is for little girls' rooms, for powder rooms, for ladies' rooms. Pink is the color fathers want to wrap their baby girls in.

We hear a loud rendition of ''There's No Business Like Show Business. '' This will be the only non movie song or quote in the play. We begin with this song because, though Charlotte is in love with the movies, this is a play. Halfway through the song, the LIGHTS COME UP. We hear Charlotte singing loudly offstage. She and Allan enter. He is holding a bucket of popcorn and his briefcase. She carries a portable cassette player and a handbag filled with tapes. There is a wad of bubblegum planted on the back of her hand. Charlotte drags Allan …
