Making Connections, Charlie Sweet, Hal Blythe Nov 2011

Making Connections, Charlie Sweet, Hal Blythe

Hal Blythe

Last summer as instructors at a creative-writing conference, we had an experience that made us better writers. While critiquing a promising piece of fiction, we became frustrated because we couldn't put our finger on why the story didn't quite work. The tale, which centered around a young soldier's baptismal firefight in Vietnam, at first seemed solid. The main character was believable, the setting was described in gritty realism, and the plot had a beginning, middle, and end. But although the story was technically correct, it didn't really capture our interest. We found we couldn't get involved with the writer's grunt …

Reflecting Narcissus: A Queer Aesthetic, Steven Bruhm Dec 1999

Reflecting Narcissus: A Queer Aesthetic, Steven Bruhm

Steven Bruhm

The figure of Narcissus, literally falling for himself, has profoundly influenced Western philosophy and literary theory: he signifies transcendental idealism and its nemesis, vanity; he underlies autoeroticism and misogyny; he has a crucial place in poststructuralist French thought. Yet, for all this, Narcissus is rarely if ever seen in his primary attitude-as a man erotically desiring another man.

In Reflecting Narcissus, Steven Bruhm traces the complex uses of Narcissus in cultural and aesthetic formulations from the eighteenth century to the present and returns Narcissus's essential homoeroticism to a central place in this history. Extending the horizons of queer, feminist, and …


King Of The Bingo Game, Charlie Sweet, Hal Blythe Dec 1999

King Of The Bingo Game, Charlie Sweet, Hal Blythe

Charlie Sweet

Critics have long recognized symbolism as one of Ralph Ellison's favorite devices. However, a lesser-known technique, juxtaposition, illuminates the racism theme so prominent in his classic short story "King of the Bingo Game." By contrasting the main character's major fantasy with his real-life situation, Ellison makes more poignant the gap between white and black America in the 1930s.

Raising Life To A Kind Of Art, Jonna Mackin Dec 1999

Raising Life To A Kind Of Art, Jonna Mackin

Dr. Jonna C Mackin

Though T.S. Eliot claimed to prize the working class ethos of Music Hall Comedy, he and his favorite artiste Marie Lloyt were key players in an essentially middle-class project of making sexual representation more explicit and more widely available but also more respectable as "art."

The Coventry Corpus Christi Plays, Clifford Davidson, Pamela King Dec 1999

The Coventry Corpus Christi Plays, Clifford Davidson, Pamela King

Clifford Davidson

One of the greatest medieval drama cycles in England was mounted annually at Coventry at Corpus Christi until suppressed in 1579, and is of particular importance because it was almost certainly seen by William Shakespeare when he was a boy in nearby Stratford-upon-Avon. The two extant pageants from this cycle have been re-edited and are presented here for the first time in a modern critical edition. The introduction provides a full survey of knowledge about the Coventry cycle from the local dramatic records and other sources of information. Comprehensive critical and textual notes are included as well as a select …
