  • Education & Scholarship
    Intro to the Lore: London isn’t what it used to be, but who would expect it to be what it used to be after a 4 mile wide hole opened up on the outskirts of the city on all hallow’s eve 1862 and King Finvarra and the Wild Hunt led an army out of the wound in the earth and attempted to conquer Britain? Fair old London quickly fell to the Unseelie armies and it seemed that all hope was lost, but emerging from St. Michael's church, atop Glastonbury Tor, came the hero Britain was promised centuries ago. Returning from Avalon, King Arthur led the remnants of the British forces on the Island and the reinforcements coming in from around the Empire against the fae. Under Arthur’s leadership the Unseelie Court was pushed back into the depths from which it came. Of course, London was not the only city beset by the Unseelie. St. Petersburg, Berlin, Paris, New York, New Orleans, Beijing, and Constantinople all faced the full force of the Unseelie invasion. While Arthur forced the Unseelie to depart from these lands when he defeated Finvarra, that didn’t undo the damage done by the invading armies. It’s now 1900 and while London is no longer the capital of the British Empire, Arthur choosing to rebuild Camalot in Somerset and what not, the city is one of the most important locations in the world. Magical artifacts and materials that have revolutionized the way we live (and die) are now pulled up from the great breech, creating vast industries and a degree of lawlessness in Deeper London (the new expansions of the city along the sloping walls of the cavern).

  • The Night Is Dark and Full of Terrors.Pages
    by Aaron “Quickleaf” Infante-Levy v 0.1 The Night is Dark and Full of Terrors… AN ALTERNATIVE HORROR & FEAR MECHANIC FOR 5TH EDITION The creeping sensation that unspeakable doom lurks around the catacomb’s corner. The unnerving but thrilling chill experienced while investigating an eerily familiar murderer. The pinpricks of twisted delight while exploring a hag’s lair. How does a DM evoke such an emotional impact in his or her players? For some, calling for an ability check and imposing a frightened or madness condition (as per the DMG’s recommendation) may fall short. Thus, dear reader, I’ve drafted this simple rule which plays upon the true source of player dread: the unknown shadows that play in their own minds. For, in the words of G.R.R. Martin’s Melisandre, “the night is dark and ful of terrors.” There are two variations of this rule: The first for DMs who have a clear idea of the nature of the threats facing the PCs, and the second for DMs improvising those threats spur of the moment. The “nature of the threat” can be as simple as “a night hag” or as complex as “the exiled sister of the night hag Jenny Greenteeth seeking revenge,” depending upon the needs of the DM’s adventure and the group’s play style. RULE #1 — DM KNOWS THE THREAT When the DM presents a threat (monster, person, place, object, or event) unknown to the players that inspires fearful speculation among them, each time a player makes a speculative statement or theory about the threat that is false, the threat gains a terror (chosen from the list below or created by the DM).

  • Damaged Motherhood in Caryl Churchill's the Skriker
    International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Invention ISSN (Online): 2319 – 7722, ISSN (Print): 2319 – 7714 www.ijhssi.org Volume 3 Issue 10 ǁ October. 2014 ǁ PP.16-23 Beyond Feminism: Damaged Motherhood in Caryl Churchill’s The Skriker Dr Suranjana Bhadra Asst. Prof. of English MUC Women’s College, Burdwan. ABSTRACT : Over the last three decades, theatrical performance has become the prevailing metaphor for discourse on gender and sexuality. Feminist theatre in Britain in the 1970s has re-radicalized the commonplace theatrical norms of stagecraft in order to subvert prevalent power structures. Contemporary women playwrights like Caryl Churchill deliberately explored areas of experiences that the stage traditionally ignored. She felt the requirement of a potential public sphere within which the experiences of women could be focused distinctly, opening up new areas of concern. She has created a theatre for women, a space where they can encounter their own selves. Churchill’s play \"The Skriker\" (1994) is not a source of fantastic entertainment, rather a venture to introduce the audience to the mythic dystopic world, a brave new world haunted by unhappy and fearful fairies, bogies, warped brownies, kelpies and so on. The Skriker has developed a self-reflexive mode of questioning the legitimating procedures within feminism itself in a manner which tends to associate the multiple concepts of ‘woman’s identity’ with postmodernism. Churchill’s The Skriker (hereafter TS) does not deal with the prevalent theme of economic liberty of women; rather makes women aware of the future towards which they are approaching. The postmodern strategies of disruption of traditional myths and reconstruction of new identities have inspired Churchill to portray the picture of the distorted and fragmented world of women, a world having both social and psychological relevance.

  • Feminist Appropriations of Hans Christian Andersen's 'The Little Mermaid' and the Ways in Which Stereotypes of Women Are S
    Feminist Appropriations of Hans Christian Andersen’s ‘The Little Mermaid’ and the Ways in which Stereotypes of Women are Subverted or Sustained in Selected Works Linda Ann Mostert 6 January 2011 Submitted in Fulfilment of the Requirements for the degree Magister Artium in English Literature in the Faculty of Arts at Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University Supervisor: Dr Neville Smith Co-Supervisor: Dr Mary West Contents Page 1. Introduction 1 2. Chapter One: ‘Mermaids’ 24 3. Chapter Two: Tipping the Velvet 43 4. Chapter Three: The Imagenius mermaids 60 5. Chapter Four: The Undrowned Child 79 6. Conclusion 98 Bibliography 104 Introduction According to Lewis Seifert, “Fairy tales are obsessed with femininity … These narratives are concerned above all else with defining what makes women different from men and, more precisely, what is and is not acceptable feminine behaviour” (1996: 175). This study, then, will demonstrate how certain patriarchal ideas associated with fairy tales are disseminated when fairy tale elements are reworked in film, visual art and the novel. The aim of this project, more specifically, is to show how certain stereotypical representations of women endure in works that could be read as feminist appropriations of Hans Christian Andersen’s ‘The Little Mermaid’. Stereotypical representations of women are numerous and may include: depicting females as fitting neatly into what is often called the virgin/whore or Madonna/whore binary opposition; 1 depicting women as being caring and kind, but also passive, submissive and weak; and depicting older women as being sexually unattractive and evil (Goodwin and Fiske 2001:358; Sullivan 2010: 4).

  • Jenny Green Teeth"
    Jenny Green Teeth" Jenny Green Teeth In Lancashire, Cheshire, and Shropshire, from the 19th century to within living memory, children were threatened that if they went near pools the waterspirit Jenny (or Ginny) Greenteeth would catch them; some said she also lurked in the treetops, where she could be heard moaning at night (Wright, 1913: 198-9). According to Charlotte Burne, this bogey was 'an old woman who lurks beneath the green weeds that cover stagnant ponds; Ellesmere children were warned that if they venture too near such places, she will stretch out her long arms and drag them to her' (Burne 1883: 79). A Lancashire contributor to NAQ recalled: 'Further, I have often been told by my mother and nurse that if I did not keep my teeth clean I should some day be dragged into one of these ponds by Jenny Greenteeth, and I have met many elderly people who have had the same threat applied to them' (NAQ 10s:2 (1904), 365). As recently as 1980 a Merseyside woman aged 68 recalled what she had heard about her as a child: 'pale green skin, green teeth, very long green locks of hair, long green fingers with long nails, and she was very thin with a pointed chin and very big eyes.' Another informant, however, said Ginny 'had no known form, due to the fact that she never appeared above the surface of the pond.' She was especially associated with stagnant water deceptively covered with thick algae or duckweed; in fact, to some, 'Jenny Greenteeth' was simply a name for duckweed itself, and the horror consisted in the way this weed would close over anything that fell in.

  • AG0290 • ISBN 1-58978-105-8 What Story Will They Make You Tell?
    You mustn’t call them by name ... they are the “good neighbors,” the “fair folk,” or the “gentry.” Don’t draw their attention, for those they notice are drawn into their stories, which no mortal can survive unchanged. Stay away from the edges of the dark woods, respect your superiors, and do what society expects. Or the faeries will come for you! The faeries of Mythic Europe live according to roles and stories, drawing vitality from mortals who play by their rules. Some vampiric faeries steal vitality from blood, while others draw it from the garlic placed over doors to keep them out. Some fey dragons live by devouring knights and feasting on the fear they create, while others exist to be defeated, drawing vitality from the knight’s victory.

Referent: Herr Timothy Jones Korreferent: Frau Dr. Beate Herting Leipzig 15.05.2018 Acknowledgements I would like to offer many thanks to Tim Jones for his readiness to supervise this thesis and his encouragement and occasionally timely advice during the M.A. course, and also to Beate Herting for agreeing to take on the role of second examiner. To my parents I owe an exceptional debt of gratitude for their unwavering and generous support, both practical and moral, over recent years. Thank you very, very much. To Susi, Cynan and Mabon it only remains for me to say that I doubt I’d have got as far as typing this were it not for your patience, good humour and general dedication to keeping my spirits up when things weren’t looking so rosy. You might even get to see a bit more of me now!
