If there are no mangroves, then the sea will have no meaning. It is like having a tree without roots, for the mangroves are the roots of the sea... — words of a Thai fisherman Mangrove Review takes its name from the mangrove tree. Of the more than 50 species of mangroves worldwide, Florida’s three na- tive species — black, white, and red — form the habitat necessary to preserve the life cycle of the estuaries that line the length of the Florida peninsula. Without them, Florida would quite possibly be nothing more than a mere nub off the coast of Georgia.

  • The Widow of Valencia
    FÉLIX LOPE DE VEGA Y CARPIO THE WIDOW OF VALENCIA Translated by the UCLA Working Group on the Comedia in Translation and Performance: Marta Albalá Pelegrín Paul Cella Adrián Collado Barbara Fuchs Rafael Jaime Robin Kello Jennifer L. Monti Laura Muñoz Javier Patiño Loira Payton Phillips Quintanilla Veronica Wilson Table of Contents The Comedia in Context A Note on the Playwright Introduction—Robin Kello and Laura Muñoz Pronounciation Key Dedication The Widow of Valencia Characters Act I Act II Act III The Comedia in Context The “Golden Age” of Spain offers one of the most vibrant theatrical repertoires ever produced. At the same time that England saw the flourishing of Shakespeare on the Elizabethan stage, Spain produced prodigious talents such as Lope de Vega, Tirso de Molina, and Calderón de la Barca. Although those names may not resonate with the force of the Bard in the Anglophone world, the hundreds of entertaining, complex plays they wrote, and the stage tradition they helped develop, deserve to be better known. The Diversifying the Classics project at UCLA brings these plays to the public by offering English versions of Hispanic classical theater. Our translations are designed to make this rich tradition accessible to students, teachers, and theater professionals. This brief introduction to the comedia in its context suggests what we might discover and create when we begin to look beyond Shakespeare. Comedia at a Glance The Spanish comedia developed in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. As Madrid grew into a sophisticated imperial capital, the theater provided a space to perform the customs, concerns, desires, and anxieties of its citizens.

  • St. Anthony of Padua Church 101 E Virginia Ave Effingham, IL 62401 (217) 347-7129 ST
    Sunday, November 29, 2020 St. Anthony of Padua Church 101 E Virginia Ave Effingham, IL 62401 (217) 347-7129 www.stanthony.com ST. ANTHONY OF PADUA PARISH EFFINGHAM, ILLINOIS My Dear Parish Family, It is almost incomprehensible to think that another year has practically come and gone. Indeed, here we are on the doorstep of the Christmas Season, these final four weeks is a time for we Christians to cleanse ourselves spiritually and make ready for the coming of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. As the season approaches, we refer to this making ready as “preparing the way.” Advent guides us to explore what Christmas means to us personally and to discover that the greatest gift we can give to our family, friends, and the world is ourselves! Traditionally, Advent is a time of reflection and affirmation, with each week represented by a particular theme. Each week of Advent on Sunday, a representative Advent candle is lit. Catholic tradition states that the four candles, representing the four weeks of Advent, each stand for one thousand years, to total the four-thousand years from the time of Adam and Eve until the birth of the Savior. Advent is a period of time set apart for our exploration of faith, an inner search of our mind and heart. The four Sundays of Advent proclaim aspects of our divine nature: hope and faith, peace, love, and joy. The themes of Advent allow us—through meditation, prayer, and affirmation - to contemplate ways to share our deepest gifts: hope and faith, peace, love, and joy.

  • Henry Howard - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series Henry Howard - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Henry Howard(1517 – 19 January 1547) Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey KG was an English aristocrat, and one of the founders of English Renaissance poetry. <b>Life</b> He was the eldest son of Thomas Howard, 3rd Duke of Norfolk, and his second wife, the former Lady Elizabeth Stafford (daughter of Edward Stafford, 3rd Duke of Buckingham), so he was descended from kings on both sides of his family tree. He was reared at Windsor with Henry VIII's illegitimate son Henry FitzRoy, 1st Duke of Richmond and Somerset, and they became close friends and, later, brothers-in-law. He became Earl of Surrey in 1524 when his grandfather died and his father became Duke of Norfolk. In 1532 he accompanied his first cousin Anne Boleyn, the King, and the Duke of Richmond to France, staying there for more than a year as a member of the entourage of Francis I of France. In 1536 his first son, Thomas (later 4th Duke of Norfolk), was born, Anne Boleyn was executed on charges of adultery and treason, and the Duke of Richmond died at the age of 17 and was buried at one of the Howard homes, Thetford Abbey. In 1536 Surrey also served with his father against the Pilgrimage of Grace rebellion protesting the Dissolution of the Monasteries. <b>Literary activity and legacy</b> He and his friend <a href="http://www.poemhunter.com/sir-thomas-wyatt/">Sir Thomas Wyatt</a> were the first English poets to write in the sonnet form that Shakespeare later used, and Surrey was the first English poet to publish blank verse in his translation of the second and fourth books of Virgil's Aeneid.

  • Late Victorian Literature and the Biopolitics of Empire
    Life Expectancies: Late Victorian Literature and the Biopolitics of Empire by Jessica Leigh Davies A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Rhetoric in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Barbara Spackman, Co-chair Professor Charis Thompson, Co-chair Associate Professor David Bates Assistant Professor Donna Jones Associate Professor Ramona Naddaff Associate Professor Michael Wintroub Spring 2010 © Jessica Leigh Davies, 2010 Abstract Life Expectancies: Late Victorian Literature and the Biopolitics of Empire by Jessica Leigh Davies Doctor of Philosophy in Rhetoric University of California, Berkeley Professor Barbara Spackman, Co-chair Professor Charis Thompson, Co-chair By the end of the nineteenth century, the rise of evolutionary thinking had produced a radical new understanding of life as the underlying connectedness of all living beings. If only the fittest would survive, the problem was no longer about how to differentiate between species, as it had been for the philosophical tradition since Aristotle, but how to articulate differences within a species. This dissertation analyzes the complex relationship between biology, politics and power that emerged in late Victorian literature. I examine the ways in which biological thinking was never limited to biology itself, nor was it a metaphorical technique used to describe social relations or simply a way to transcribe a political discourse into biological terms. I argue that the difference between biology and politics completely collapsed, and that this indistinguishability functioned to expand and justify British colonialism. Inspired by Michel Foucault’s work on biopower, I demonstrate and expand his theory of nineteenth century biopolitics as a form of power that takes biological life as both its subject and object through a series of regulatory controls leveraged at entire populations.

  • Adam Bede by George Eliot Book One Chapter I the Workshop with a Single Drop of Ink for a Mirror, the Egyptian Sorcerer Undertak
    Adam Bede by George Eliot Book One Chapter I The Workshop With a single drop of ink for a mirror, the Egyptian sorcerer undertakes to reveal to any chance comer far-reaching visions of the past. This is what I undertake to do for you, reader. With this drop of ink at the end of my pen, I will show you the roomy workshop of Mr. Jonathan Burge, carpenter and builder, in the village of Hayslope, as it appeared on the eighteenth of June, in the year of our Lord 1799. The afternoon sun was warm on the five workmen there, busy upon doors and window-frames and wainscoting. A scent of pine-wood from a tentlike pile of planks outside the open door mingled itself with the scent of the elder-bushes which were spreading their summer snow close to the open window opposite; the slanting sunbeams shone through the transparent shavings that flew before the steady plane, and lit up the fine grain of the oak panelling which stood propped against the wall. On a heap of those soft shavings a rough, grey shepherd dog had made himself a pleasant bed, and was lying with his nose between his fore-paws, occasionally wrinkling his brows to cast a glance at the tallest of the five workmen, who was carving a shield in the centre of a wooden mantelpiece. It was to this workman that the strong barytone belonged which was heard above the sound of plane and hammer singing-- Awake, my soul, and with the sun Thy daily stage of duty run; Shake off dull sloth..
