Turning Learned Authority Into Royal Supremacy: Elizabeth I'S Learned Persona And Her University Orations, Linda Shenk

Linda Shenk

When the princess Elizabeth studied languages and rhetoric with William Grindal and Roger Ascham, she acquired more than practical skills. She earned the right to depict herself as a learned prince. Throughout the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, the image of the educated monarch had gained particular political currency when humanist thinkers marketed the schoolroom as the necessary training ground for both king and counselor. Learned status served as proof that one was sufficiently wise and virtuous to hold political office.

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

Charlie Sweet

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 Critics concur that historical documents place the events in The Scarlet Letter …

Walt Whitman And The Question Of Copyright, Martin Buinicki

Martin T. Buinicki

(excerpt) Walt Whitman is not the first author who comes to mind when one considers the question of copyright in nineteenth-century America. Despite careful consideration of Whitman's publishing career, little has been said regarding his views on the subject and the apparent contradiction between the poet's now-famous declaration of 1855, "I celebrate myself, / And what I assume you shall assume, / For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you" ( Walt Whitman: Poetry and Prose 1 27), and his staunch defense of his literary property rights. 2 The omission is most glaring when we consider how …

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

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

Charlie Sweet

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.

Igbo Folk Idioms In Caribbean Phrase, Chukwuma Azuonye

Chukwuma Azuonye

This paper analyses a corpus of phrases from Jamaican and other Caribbean folk speech with a view to ascertaing their possible Igbo provenance. There seems to be an overwhelming match in terms of morphology and meaning between these Jamaican phrases and some common Igbo idioms. It is however worthy of note that the matching of Igbo and Caribbean or Black American idioms, no matter how persuasive the results may be, cannot produce conclusive evidence of Igbo presence in any particular area or among any particular population sample. Studies of mother-tongue interference in various African Englishes and comparative studies of the …

Writing Chicana Identity: Strategies Of Resistance And Reformulation, Dora Ramirez-Dhoore

Dora Ramirez-Dhoore

My dissertation addresses the way Chicana writers are reformulating and revising stereotypes that have been defined by patriarchal discourse in literature, film, and websites. Images and cultural myths such as La Malinche, La Virgen de Guadalupe, curanderas, and others have often been misrepresented socially, historically, and politically; therefore these misconceptions must be addressed when interpreting literature and art created by Chicanas. In Chicano Narrative: The Dialectics of Difference , Ramon Saldivar explains that Chicano narratives, "must be understood as different from and in resistance to traditional American literature, yet must also be understood in their American context, for they take …
