  • John R. Hammond, HG Wells's the Time Machine: a Reference Guide
    The Wellsian, 28 (2005) Book Review: John R. Hammond, H. G. Wells’s The Time Machine: A Reference Guide (Westport, CT, and London: Praeger, 2004). xii, 151 pp. ISBN 0-313-33007-7. £54.37 / US $79.95 / €65 (approx.). [By John S. Partington] In H. G. Wells’s The Time Machine: A Reference Guide, John R. Hammond has produced ‘a basic guide that offers an overview of the novel, places it in its literary and biographical context, examines its uses of language and imagery, and summarizes its critical reception’ (x). Hammond is to be applauded for his ability at identifying gaps in the market for new works on Wells. One particularly thinks of his H. G. Wells and the Short Story (1992) and his corrective H. G. Wells and Rebecca West (1991) among several that could be cited. The challenge that this latest volume poses its author, however, is perhaps much greater than in any of his previous works, for in writing a book-length reference guide to just one Wells novel, Hammond is expected to be both extremely accurate in his data and comprehensive in his coverage of the critical field. Given The Time Machine’s 110-year history (or 117 years, if we take ‘The Chronic Argonauts’ [1888] as our datum), the challenge is a great one. In this review, I am going to begin by assessing Hammond’s accuracy in the book, before considering his comprehensiveness and, finally, commenting upon the degree of the guide’s usefulness for readers of The Time Machine. In chapter three of the guide, Hammond claims that ‘It is highly probable that [Wells] had sought unsuccessfully to place The Chronic Argonauts in a commercial publication before submitting it to his old student magazine’ (35).

  • Female Characters in the Short Fiction of Ralph Ellison
    “I Did Not Learn Their Name” 101 “I Did Not Learn Their Name”: Female Characters in the Short Fiction of Ralph Ellison Keith Byerman Discussion of the status of women in Ralph Ellison’s fiction has been lim- ited to the representations in Invisible Man. A number of critics have exam- ined these roles, and a kind of consensus has emerged that such characters are consistently subordinate to the male figures. They serve primarily as maternal images or sexual objects. The commentaries often focus on subtle differences among the stereotypes. Thus, Carolyn Sylvander and Janet Overmyer point to Ellison’s tendency to make the white female figures highly sexualized, while Yolanda Pierce and Ann Folwell Stanford note the function of Mary Rambo, who is a desexualized maternal image that must eventually be escaped; Stan- ford and Claudia Tate examine an excised narrative of Mary that is much more elaborate in showing her as an active figure. Finally, Tate interprets the char- acters as useful helpers despite their one-dimensionality, and she demonstrates that both white and black women aid the narrator in his search for identity. Mary Rohrberger labels all of the women as “automatons,” a term that is con- sistent with the critical agreement that they are “invisible” in the text.1 However, no comparable analysis has been made of the female figures in the short stories; in fact, very little has been published on the stories at all in the last ten years.2 In these fictions, the overall representation of women is more complex than it is in the novel.

  • The Invisible Man By
    THE INVISIBLE MAN BY H.G. WELLS Chapter 7: The Unveiling of the Stranger The stranger went into the little parlour of the “Coach and Horses” about half-past five in the morning, and there he remained until near midday, the blinds down, the door shut, and none, after Hall’s repulse, ventur- ing near him. All that time he must have fasted. Thrice he rang his bell, the third time furiously and continuously, but no one answered him. “Him and his ‘go to the devil’ indeed!” said Mrs. Hall. Presently came an imperfect rumour of the burglary at the vicarage, and two and two were put together. Hall, assisted by Wadgers, went off to find Mr. Shuckleforth, the magistrate, and take his advice. No one ventured upstairs. How the stranger occu- pied himself is unknown. Now and then he would stride violently up and down, and twice came an outburst of curses, a tearing of paper, and a violent smashing of bottles. The little group of scared but curious people increased. Mrs. Huxter came over; some gay young fellows resplendent in black ready-made jackets and pique paper ties — for it was Whit Monday — joined the group with confused interrogations. Young Archie Harker distinguished himself by going up the yard and trying to peep under the window-blinds. He could see nothing, but gave reason for supposing that he did, and others of the Iping youth presently joined him. It was the finest of all possible Whit Mondays, and down the village street stood a row of nearly a dozen booths, a shooting gallery, and on the grass by the forge were three yellow and chocolate waggons and some picturesque strangers of both sexes putting up a cocoanut shy.

James Baldwin, Take This Hammer, 1963 v In his 1952 work Black Skin, White Masks, Frantz Fanon argues that “[a] man who possesses a language possesses as an indirect consequence the world expressed and implied by this language” and that “[a]ll colonized people [. .] position themselves in relation to the civilizing language: i.e., the metropolitan culture” (2). Considered a foundational study of the psychosocial ramifications of marginalization upon the minority psyche, Black Skin, White Masks emerged in the immediate aftermath of the Second World War, providing a scathing counterpoint to the celebratory narrative of the Allied forces.
