Voice In Writing Again: Embracing Contraries, Peter Elbow
Voice In Writing Again: Embracing Contraries, Peter Elbow
Peter Elbow
"Voice in writing" has fallen into a kind of limbo as a topic: it's vexed; it's discredited by most composition scholars; it's not much written about recently; and yet it remains widely used by readers, teachers, and writers. I examine good reasons for paying lots of attention to voice when we read and teach writing; and also good reasons for ignoring it. And finally insist that we can usefully do both.

Tragical-Comical-Pastoral-Colonial: Economic Sovereignty, Globalization, And The Form Of Tragicomedy, Zachary Lesser
Tragical-Comical-Pastoral-Colonial: Economic Sovereignty, Globalization, And The Form Of Tragicomedy, Zachary Lesser
Zachary Lesser
I examine the politics of tragicomedy by focusing on its 1620s shift from pastoral to proto-colonial settings. This formal transformation reveals the genre's connection to economic debates over England's coin shortage and to Thomas Mun's abstract, global model of trade, removed from monarchical authority and naturalized in self-regulating "laws of commerce." Like Mun's model, tragicomedy requires us to imagine the ability of past actions and distant causes to ramify across time and space. Set on a barren, inaccessible island, Fletcher and Massinger's Sea Voyage isolates the nature of money and demonstrates the dangers of transgressing the natural law of commerce.
