The novellas examine how for some, the road holds the promise of a new day, an improved life, a better opportunity, or a deeper love; while for others, it is nothing more than an assortment of jumbled blue lines on a map. In Tierra del Fuego, a man takes to the road to figure out how to deal with the grief and sense of betrayal he feels following the death of his wife.

  • A.Horn Dissertation (Deposit)
    Presumption and Despair: The figure of Bernard in Middle English imaginative literature Adam Tyler Horn Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2021 © 2021 Adam Tyler Horn All Rights Reserved Abstract Presumption and Despair: The figure of Bernard in Middle English imaginative literature Adam Tyler Horn This dissertation pursues two distinct but parallel projects in relation to the work of Bernard of Clairvaux and Middle English imaginative literature. First, I argue for a Bernardine anagogical lens as a way to better understand the deepest theological commitments and most distinctive formal innovations of certain key Middle English literary texts, especially Piers Plowman and The Canterbury Tales. Second, I outline a more genealogical project, tracing the figure of Bernard as it is explicitly invoked in widely circulated Middle English works including Piers, The Parson’s Tale, and the Prick of Conscience. These two threads connect to suggest that the work of Bernard of Clairvaux can offer a new way to understand the relationship between theological and literary texts in the late Middle Ages. Because Bernard’s influence in the vernacular is as much as matter of style as of content, it requires a more capacious way of theorizing the theological implications and even motivations of literary form. The “figure of Bernard” acts as a cipher for later works to explore their deepest intellectual preoccupations, and makes it possible to trace the way they imagine the anagogical interval between the presence and absence of Christ, the over- and under-estimation of the presence of eternity in time.

  • A Newsletter from Meg Swansen
    Schoolhouse Press—Newsletter #17 April 2012 "As each garment is finished comes the sadness of parting, soon assuaged by the casting on of stitches for the next. And how comforting to be engaged in the creation of artifacts for which the demand is - as far as I can see - infinite.” — Elizabeth Zimmermann, in The Opinionated Knitter a knitting newsletter from Meg Swansen Schoolhouse Press Website Traditionalists find great pleasure in reproducing classic garments from the past. And, since our knitting is our very own, we permit ourselves to apply "modern" techniques and ideas to old garments. The British Isles brim with a rich and varied knitting history and, although I’m not a trained historian, my great interest in knitting traditions has brought me into deeper contact with history than I expected. As I pored through my tottering stack of books on this subject, I found a bit of conflicting information on specific definitions of Guernsey, Jersey, and Knitfrock, but plenty of satisfying agreement as well. The Channel Islands (Guernsey, Jersey, Alderney, and Sark) not only developed the Guernsey cow—from 10th-century origins—but, under Governor Sir W alter Raleigh in 1600, established international trade in knitted woolen jerseys for mariners; plus, the islanders shipped out about 10,000 pairs of knitted stockings per week! Twenty thousand individual socks: a sobering thought for us ssk people (single-sock knitters). The exported mariners’ garments were thick, navy blue Guernsey pullovers. (By the way, “gansey” is not a different sweater style, but simply a colloquial term for a Guernsey.) Guernseys were distinct from the fisherman’s jerseys which were being knitted in scores of villages around the British Isles; jerseys came in an assortment of colors and the wool was lighter in weight.
