Basement, Robert Mclane Daniels
Basement, Robert Mclane Daniels
ETD Archive
Basement is a play in two acts. I began writing this play at a time that I was contemplating a great deal on the idea of individual, human nature, and the consequences of routine, generational suppression of said nature. At the time that this play was written, stories surrounding human subjugation, rape, torture, and murder were very prominent in the news and while the events of Basement have in no way been taken from any of these actual stories, the major themes of Basement were very heavily influenced by these stories of human bondage. As a writer, I consider my …

American Novelist Catharine Sedgwick Negotiates British Copyright, 1822–57, Melissa J. Homestead
American Novelist Catharine Sedgwick Negotiates British Copyright, 1822–57, Melissa J. Homestead
Department of English: Faculty Publications
American novelist Catharine Maria Sedgwick had an unusually long career and her books were reprinted in Britain in a variety of circumstances and formats. Both her first novel, A New-England Tale (1822), and her last, Married or Single? (1857), appeared in London editions arranged by her or her American publishers, as did many of her books in between (including travel, children’s and conduct books). However, her works also appeared in unauthorized reprints. Sedgwick thus makes an interesting case study of how law and custom regulated the reprinting of American literary texts in Great Britain after 1820. Focusing on the British …

Specters Of Nature; Or, From Metaphor To Murder: The Nonhuman-Animal In Rash's Serena, Pat Siebel
Bridges: A Journal of Student Research
This paper explores the marginalized roles of the non-human animal throughout Ron Rash's 2008 novel, Serena, by classifying various types of animal occurrences into three categories: "The Metaphorical," "The Authentic," and "The Murderous," to investigate their role(s), significance, and signification in the text.

"Not I!": Strategies Of Post-Millennial Confessionalistic Poetry, Charlotte Pence
Faculty Research & Creative Activity
With the technological ability and pop-cultural fascination to record private moments and distribute them, poetry that reveals personal details and conflates the identity between speaker and author must feel the effects of what could be viewed as an over-saturation of the confessional—which was during the 1950s and 1960s with Robert Lowell, Anne Sexton, and Sylvia Plath a political, rebellious act. It is far from that now. In this Kim Kardashian era, revealing sex tapes are used as marketing tools to launch careers whereas once they destroyed careers. Considering the hyper-confessional climate of our era and that “Confessional” is something of …

“Rude Uncivill Blood”: The Pastoral Challenge To Hereditary Race In Fletcher And Milton, Jean Feerick
English
The essays of this collection explore how ideas about 'blood' in science and literature have supported, at various points in history and in various places in the circum-Atlantic world, fantasies of human embodiment and human difference that serve to naturalize existing hierarchies.

In “The American Scholar,” Emerson warns against letting books become tyrants. As education “reformers,” political forces, and other special interests continue to pull modern teachers in so many different pedagogical directions, Emerson’s warning is increasingly powerful. Books tyrannize, Emerson says, when we use them passively by simply absorbing information from them, rather than actively by catalyzing our own thinking and actions with them. In effect, he claims that books are not something simply to be learned, memorized, or analyzed, but should help us to create. Today’s gifted student, her schedule usually overflowing with work and co-curriculars in an environment often …
Hamlet And Amleth, Princes Of Denmark: Shakespeare And Saxo Grammaticus As Historians And Kingly Actions In The Hamlet/Amleth Narrative, Megan Arnott
The Hilltop Review
Shakespeare played a decisive role in creating a Middle Ages for the generations that came after him. The two tetralogies, which include Richard II, Henry IV Part 1 and Part 2, Henry V, Henry VI Part 1-3 and Richard III, comprise the body of work that is commonly studied for medievalisms, and in these plays Shakespeare’s interpretation of the past demonstrates nation building, ‘Englishness,’ and a concern about the nature of power. A different kind of engagement with the medieval past is occurring in Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, though Hamlet is no less concerned with …

Ya Gotta Shoot 'Em In The Head: The Zombie Plague As The New Apocryphal Myth In Post 9/11 America, Ryan F. Neff
Ya Gotta Shoot 'Em In The Head: The Zombie Plague As The New Apocryphal Myth In Post 9/11 America, Ryan F. Neff
ETD Archive
America, as a culture and a society, has embraced the zombie as the new apocryphal myth in a Post 9/11 culture as a subconscious coping mechanism to deal with fear and terror and to train itself for an eventual breakdown of society in an apocalyptic event. The Post 9/11 America has latched on both consciously and subconsciously to the figure of the zombie because it easily represents and embodies a wide range of fears to a wide range of people's anxieties in a terrorist filled global world. This is examined by analyzing Robert Kirkman's comic series The Walking Dead, and …
James And Shakespeare: Unification Through Mapping, Christina Wagner
James And Shakespeare: Unification Through Mapping, Christina Wagner
ETD Archive
The art of exploration became an important aspect of theater in early modern England. Exploration is typically done through the utilization of a map. The map scene in Lear provides a focal point to peer into the political ventures of King James I. As a proponent for peace, James both unified and divided his kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland through the use of cartography as a way to show the aspirations of a king. Lear, in dividing his kingdom between his three daughters, shows Shakespeare's careful strategic planning of the division of a kingdom and what that means in …
