  • MIDDLEMARCH Adam Roberts Epigraphs and Mirrors A
    MIDDLEMARCH AdAm RobeRts Epigraphs and Mirrors A AdAm RobeRts d A m Using epigraphs as a lens to open up new vistas, this study explores a wide range R of connectons. Moving freely between epigraphs and the main text, Roberts obe succeeds in throwing fresh light on the manifold ‘middleness’ of Middlemarch and the richness and sophistcaton of George Eliot’s realism. R ts John Rignall In Middlemarch, George Eliot draws a character passionately absorbed by abstruse allusion and obscure epigraphs. Casaubon’s obsession is a cautonary tale, but Adam Roberts nonetheless sees in him an invitaton to take Eliot’s use of epigraphy and allusion seriously, and this book is an atempt to do just that. Roberts considers the epigraph as a mirror that refracts the meaning of a text, and that thus carries important resonances for the way Eliot’s novels generate their meanings. In this lively and provoking study, he tracks down those allusions and quotatons that have hitherto gone unidentfed by scholars, examining their MIDDLEMARCH relatonship to the text in which they sit to unfurl a broader argument about the novel – both this novel, and the novel form itself. Middlemarch: Epigraphs and Mirrors is both a study of George Eliot and a meditaton on the textuality of fcton. It is essental reading for specialists and students of George Eliot, the nineteenth century novel, and intertextuality. It will also richly reward anyone who has ever taken pleasure in Middlemarch. This is the author-approved editon of this Open Access ttle. As with all Open Book publicatons, this entre book is available to read for free on the publisher’s website.

  • JM Coetzee and Mathematics Peter Johnston
    1 'Presences of the Infinite': J. M. Coetzee and Mathematics Peter Johnston PhD Royal Holloway University of London 2 Declaration of Authorship I, Peter Johnston, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: Dated: 3 Abstract This thesis articulates the resonances between J. M. Coetzee's lifelong engagement with mathematics and his practice as a novelist, critic, and poet. Though the critical discourse surrounding Coetzee's literary work continues to flourish, and though the basic details of his background in mathematics are now widely acknowledged, his inheritance from that background has not yet been the subject of a comprehensive and mathematically- literate account. In providing such an account, I propose that these two strands of his intellectual trajectory not only developed in parallel, but together engendered several of the characteristic qualities of his finest work. The structure of the thesis is essentially thematic, but is also broadly chronological. Chapter 1 focuses on Coetzee's poetry, charting the increasing involvement of mathematical concepts and methods in his practice and poetics between 1958 and 1979. Chapter 2 situates his master's thesis alongside archival materials from the early stages of his academic career, and thus traces the development of his philosophical interest in the migration of quantificatory metaphors into other conceptual domains. Concentrating on his doctoral thesis and a series of contemporaneous reviews, essays, and lecture notes, Chapter 3 details the calculated ambivalence with which he therein articulates, adopts, and challenges various statistical methods designed to disclose objective truth.

  • Henry James's Worldview in the Ambassadors
    1 HENRY JAMES’S WORLDVIEW IN THE AMBASSADORS: A GENETIC STRUCTURALISM APPROACH RESEARCH PAPER Submitted as a Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for Getting Bachelor Degree of Education in English Department by DANANG AGUSTOMO A.320 030 062 SCHOOL OF TEACHER TRAINING AND EDUCATION MUHAMMADIYAH UNIVERSITY OF SURAKARTA 2008 1 CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION A. Background of the Study Literature is a social institution, using language as medium of social creation. Furthermore, literature represents life and life is in large measure, a social reality (Wellek 1959: 94). Hence, a literary work which is the author’s creation is an ideal reflection of social reality. The literary work and the author cannot be separated since; the literary work is a reproduction of the author’s mind. The author’s mind is a result of the author’s response towards the social reality where he or she lives. An author lives among the society which he or she associates and mingles with it. As human being an author is like the other people who are influenced by his or her religious conviction, social idea, settlement, culture and convention of his or her culture. However, an author does not always in harmony or agrees with the social circumstances in his or her society. He or she can also require a different view on it. The different view toward his or her social life force him or her to change and shape the behavior and the social view of his or her society. An author expresses his or her view by creating a work art.

  • George Bernard Shaw, the Fabian Society, and Reconstructionist Education Policy: the London School of Economics and Political Science
    George Bernard Shaw, the Fabian Society, and Reconstructionist Education Policy: the London School of Economics and Political Science Jim McKernan East Carolina University, Greenville, NC, USA “He who can does, He who cannot teaches” (G.B. Shaw) Introduction When four members of the Executive Committee of the newly founded Fabian Society 1 met at Sidney Webb’s summer house at Borough Farm, near Godalming, Surrey, on the morning of 4 August, 1894 there was exciting news. The four left-wing intellectual radicals present were: Beatrice and Sidney Webb, Graham Wallas, (of the London School Board) and George Bernard Shaw. Sidney told the breakfast group of a letter he had received the previous day from Henry Hunt Hutchinson, a Derby solicitor who left his estate, a sum of ten thousand pounds sterling, to be used by the Fabian Society for its purposes. It appears that Sidney Webb probably initiated the idea of a London Economics Research School, but had the sound practical support and advice of Shaw and later, the financial support of Shaw’s wife, Charlotte Frances Payne-Townshend, an Irishwoman from Derry, County Cork. This paper explores the social reconstructionist educational and social policies employed by both the Webbs and George Bernard Shaw in establishing the London School of Economics and Political Science as a force to research and solve fundamental social problems like poverty in the United Kingdom in the late Nineteenth Century. That schools might function as agencies for dealing with the reformation of socio-economic problems has been a prime tenet of reconstructionist educational theory . 2 Social reconstructionist thought as an educational policy emerged in the USA from the time of the Great Depression of the 1930’s until the Civil Rights period of the 1960’s and many see it as a pre-cursor to critical theory in education.

  • The Color Purple: Shug Avery and Bisexuality
    Reading Bisexually Acknowledging a Bisexual Perspective in Giovanni’s Room, The Color Purple, and Brokeback Mountain Maiken Solli A Thesis Presented to The Department of Literature, Area Studies and European Languages in partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Master’s Degree UNIVERSITY OF OSLO Spring Term 2012 II Reading Bisexually: Acknowledging a Bisexual Perspective in Giovanni’s Room, The Color Purple, and Brokeback Mountain By Maiken Solli A Thesis Presented to The Department of Literature, Area Studies and European Languages in partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Master’s Degree Supervisor: Rebecca Scherr UNIVERSITY OF OSLO Spring Term 2012 III IV © Maiken Solli 2012 Reading Bisexually: The Importance and Significance of Acknowledging a Bisexual Perspective in Fictional Literature Maiken Solli Supervisor: Rebecca Scherr http://www.duo.uio.no/ Trykk: Reprosentralen, Universitetet i Oslo V Abstract In literary theory, literary criticism and in the Western literary canon there is evidence of an exclusion or erasure of a bisexual perspective, and this has also been the case within much of the written history of sexuality and theory, relating to gender, sexuality and identity. This thesis examines and analyses three literary classics; ‘Giovanni’s Room’ by James Baldwin, Alice Walker’s ‘The Color Purple,’ and ‘Brokeback Mountain’ by Annie Proulx, from a bisexual perspective. I have sought out to reveal, emphasize, and analyze bisexual elements present in the respective texts from a bisexual literary standpoint. This aspect of the texts has been ignored by most critics, and I believe it is paramount to begin to acknowledge the importance and significance of reading bisexually.
