Annual Atwood Bibliography 2016 Annual Atwood Bibliography 2016 Ashley Thomson and Shoshannah Ganz This year’s bibliography, like its predecessors, is comprehensive but not complete. References that we have uncovered —almost always theses and dissertations —that were not available even through interlibrary loan, have not been included. On the other hand, citations from past years that were missed in earlier bibliographies appear in this one so long as they are accessible. Those who would like to examine earlier bibliographies may now access them full-text, starting in 2007, in Laurentian University’s Institutional Repository in the Library and Archives section . The current bibliography has been embargoed until the next edition is available. Of course, members of the Society may access all available versions of the Bibliography on the Society’s website since all issues of the Margaret Atwood Studies Journal appear there. Users will also note a significant number of links to the full-text of items referenced here and all are active and have been tested on 1 August 2017. That said—and particularly in the case of Atwood’s commentary and opinion pieces —the bibliography also reproduces much (if not all) of what is available on-line, since what is accessible now may not be obtainable in the future. And as in the 2015 Bibliography, there has been a change in editing practice —instead of copying and pasting authors’ abstracts, we have modified some to ensure greater clarity. There are a number of people to thank, starting with Dunja M. Mohr, who sent a citation and an abstract, and with Desmond Maley, librarian at Laurentian University, who assisted in compiling and editing. Thanks as well to Laurentian’s interlibrary loan crew, headed by Lina Beaulieu and including Marlene Bonin, Aline Kraus, and Rachelle Larcher. Finally, thanks to the ever-patient Karma Waltonen, editor of this journal.

In response to a query from the Goodreads Team about whether she could come up with a deleted scene from her favourite Shakespeare play (marking the 400 th anniversary of his death), Atwood submitted the following: My upcoming book Hag-Seed re-imagines Shakesp eare’s The Tempest . In honor of Shakespeare Week, here’s a ‘deleted scene’ from Shakespeare’s play! Before the tempest. Prospero and Miranda, seated at a table with dishes and goblets, in front of the entrance to Prospero’s cave. Prospero: Tis past the hour. Miranda: Well past! I faint for hunger! Prospero (calls) : Thou toad! Thou fen! Thou cup of dung! Thou wart! Laggard, bring forth the viands! Caliban (within): They’re not cooked through. Prospero: Wherefore not cooked! Thou freckled malice, out! Thou’re pinched by goblins else! Produce our meal! Caliban (comes forth, bearing a dish): Here’s pig -nuts for you. May they choke your craw! Miranda: Pig-nuts! Once more? ‘Tis the fourth time this week! I hoped there might be berries, or a fish…Caliban: Dig other foods thyself, if thou be squeamish. Talk sweeter, if thou wish for sweeter dinners! Prospero (tasting): Faugh, toadstool! Hast a mind to poison us? Caliban: Vapours bloat your bellies! May you rot! Gladly I would have poisoned you full oft, And danced with tenfold joy while you lay writhing, Had not your imps prevented! Prospero: For this thou shall be twisted into knots, Flung into mires, thy tendons twanged like strings… Ariel appears, invisible. Ariel: Master, the ship approaches, as foretold. Prospero (rising): Bring me my magic garment! Here’s my luck! Mine enemies, and sailed within my reach! Thunder, I say, and darkest clouds boil forth, The portrait of mine anger! Ariel, strike! (Exit) Caliban: Oho! He’s left the wench all unattended! And so this chance may prove my luck as well!

Borovikovoi. Moskva: Izdatel’stvo “E,” 2016. Reprint of Russian translation of The Year of the Flood , originally published in 2011. “Grassy Narrows; Prospering While Cherishing the Land.” Globe and Mail 1 December 2016 Section: Comment: A13. With Vincent Lam and Miriam Toews. Excerpt: The homepage of the Asubpeeschoseewagong Netum Anishinabek, or Grassy Narrows First Nation, asks: “How do we make a living from the earth without destroying it? How do we maintain a culture in a swiftly shifting world?” The answers to these questions will determine our country’s collective future. As writers in Canada, we are deeply concerned with our national story. For indigenous peoples, whose ancestors have lived here for millennia, Canada’s story features marginalization, rights violations, and loss of territory and livelihood. Sadly, mercury contamination of the English Wabigoon watershed, the traditional lands of the Grassy Narrows and Wabaseemoong (Whitedog) First Nations, is part of this story. Between 1962 and 1969, a pulp and-paper mill released 10 tonnes of mercury into the Wabigoon River in Northwestern Ontario. Dryden Chemicals Ltd. was producing bleach to whiten pulp for paper. The government of Ontario permitted this waste to be dumped. Mercury-fouled rivers, lakes and fish. Today there is mercury in fish as far as 150 kilometres from the now-infamous mill. Residents suffer Minamata disease symptoms, which include impaired vision, hearing, taste, touch, co- ordination and balance. Mercury concentrates as it moves up the food chain through plants and animals. Much of the fish in the area —walleye and northern pike —are now unsafe to eat. Mercury pollution also poisoned an economy, a community and a way of life that was once intrinsically linked to the region’s natural richness. Prior to this environmental disaster, the watershed boasted 90 -per- cent employment from commercial fisheries, tourism and sport fishing. In 1970, commercial fishing was prohibited for health reasons. By 1973, 80 per cent of local residents were receiving public assistance. In 1975, medical experts conducted studies indicating mercury poisoning and Minamata disease in Grassy Narrows and made their findings known to the Canadian government. Dr. Masazumi H arada wrote about an encounter with a local police officer, “He kept speaking to my confused face: ‘Doesn’t Minamata disease make people drink alcohol and become vicious?’ “In 1986, the corporate polluter, federal and provincial governments pooled funds to establish the Mercury Disability Board to compensate affected people. This has proved minimal. During a change in corporate ownership, the government released Dryden Chemicals and took responsibility for this tragic issue.

    THE PENELOPIAD Margaret Atwood EDINBURGH • NEW YORK • MELBOURNE For my family ‘… Shrewd Odysseus! … You are a fortunate man to have won a wife of such pre-eminent virtue! How faithful was your flawless Penelope, Icarius’ daughter! How loyally she kept the memory of the husband of her youth! The glory of her virtue will not fade with the years, but the deathless gods themselves will make a beautiful song for mortal ears in honour of the constant Penelope.’ – The Odyssey, Book 24 (191–194) … he took a cable which had seen service on a blue-bowed ship, made one end fast to a high column in the portico, and threw the other over the round-house, high up, so that their feet would not touch the ground. As when long-winged thrushes or doves get entangled in a snare … so the women’s heads were held fast in a row, with nooses round their necks, to bring them to the most pitiable end. For a little while their feet twitched, but not for very long. – The Odyssey, Book 22 (470–473) CONTENTS Introduction i A Low Art ii The Chorus Line: A Rope-Jumping Rhyme iii My Childhood iv The Chorus Line: Kiddie Mourn, A Lament by the Maids v Asphodel vi My Marriage vii The Scar viii The Chorus Line: If I Was a Princess, A Popular Tune ix The Trusted Cackle-Hen x The Chorus Line: The Birth of Telemachus, An Idyll xi Helen Ruins My Life xii Waiting xiii The Chorus Line: The Wily Sea Captain, A Sea Shanty xiv The Suitors Stuff Their Faces xv The Shroud xvi Bad Dreams xvii The Chorus Line: Dreamboats, A Ballad xviii News of Helen xix Yelp of Joy xx Slanderous Gossip xxi The Chorus Line: The Perils of Penelope, A Drama xxii Helen Takes a Bath xxiii Odysseus and Telemachus Snuff the Maids xxiv The Chorus Line: An Anthropology Lecture xxv Heart of Flint xxvi The Chorus Line: The Trial of Odysseus, as Videotaped by the Maids xxvii Home Life in Hades xxviii The Chorus Line: We’re Walking Behind You, A Love Song xxix Envoi Notes Acknowledgements Introduction The story of Odysseus’ return to his home kingdom of Ithaca following an absence of twenty years is best known from Homer’s Odyssey.

Walter Cohen University of Michigan SAA 2021 Historical Novel (and other genres) of Early Modern World (1450-1700) Key issues a. History/temporality i. Renaissance vs. other periods as object of historical representation. Do you get anything different from delimiting the historical novels under scrutiny to the early modern period—i.e. anything different from historical novels about other periods? This question asks us to compare the historical novels in this study grouping to historical novels about Antiquity, the Middle Ages, the 18th-mid 20th century. ii. Different periods in which accounts of Renaissance are composed. Do you get anything different from delimiting the historical novels under scrutiny to the early modern period—i.e. anything different from seeing realism- modernism-postmodernism as successive forms of the historical novel? This question asks us to compare the historical novels in this grouping to each other along the historical/formalist lines of the three obvious periods of the historical novel. It uses Perry Anderson’s 2011 survey of the historical novel as a baseline for comparison. iii. Composite account of the era? What if you keep the different times when the novels were written, the different genres (realism-modernism- postmodernism), the different languages in which they’re written, and the different places and events they treat all in the background? Instead, we ask: what do we get from reading these novels as a composite account of the era? Is it different from what we get from a more familiar history of the historical novel (Lukács-Anderson) and/or from the current state of historiography of the period? How is it inflected by early modern writers themselves—above all Shakespeare? b.

For Click here for a PDF version. Reviewers Click here to buy the book on Amazon. About Us Masthead The myth of the lonely, autonomous Romantic Genius has lately taken its lumps. Questioning its historicity, contemporary scholars of nineteenth-century literature often stress the creativity of groups. William St. Clair, Sharon Lynne Feedback Joffe, Scott Krawczyk and Julie A. Carlson have examined the productivity of Romantic literary families or kinship coteries. Tim Fulford, Peter J. Kitson, and Debbie Lee have revealed the scientific network as an engine of Romantic cultural production. David Higgins has shown how the concept of Romantic genius was shaped and popularized by the periodicals of the era, which influenced such figures as Wordsworth and the painter Benjamin R. Haydon. And creative groups could be as small as two. Magisterial studies of pairs of Romantic friends, mentors, protégés, rivals, and frenemies include Stuart Curran's Shelley and Byron: The Snake and Eagle Wreathed in Fight (1976), Paul Magnuson's Coleridge and Wordsworth: A Lyrical Dialogue (1988), Susan Oliver's Scott, Byron, and the Poetics of Cultural Encounter (2005), and Peter Cochran's Byron and Bob (2010). Kim Wheatley has also helped to bury the solitary Romantic Genius. In Shelley and His Readers (1999), Wheatley examined Percy Bysshe Shelley's highly interactive relationship with periodical reviewers, especially those of the Tory Quarterly and Whig Edinburgh Review.

Negotiating Dataveillance in the Near Future: Margaret Atwood’s Dystopias 1 Negotiating Dataveillance in the Near Future: Margaret Atwood’s Dystopias Claire Wrobel 1 Imagining what comes next is the stuff that Margaret Atwood’s dystopian novels are made of.1 In retrospect, The Handmaid’s Tale (1985) may seem to have been prescient. While it may be read in the context of the backlash against feminism in the United States in the 1980s (Neuman 2006), it has gained new significance in the misogynous context of the Trump administration. The handmaid’s outfit, with its scarlet robe and white cornet, has become a visual rallying cry for women protesting against attempts on their reproductive rights in places as diverse as Texas, Northern Ireland or Argentina (Beaumont and Holpuch 2018). Atwood’s awareness of the threat that uncontrollable viruses constitute may also seem prescient in light of the ongoing pandemic.
