  • {PDF EPUB} the Six Queer Things by Christopher St. John Sprigg Christopher Caudwell
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} The Six Queer Things by Christopher St. John Sprigg Christopher Caudwell. Christopher Caudwell is the pseudonym of Christopher St. John Sprigg a British Marxist writer, thinker and poet. He was born into a Roman Catholic family, resident at 53 Montserrat Road, Putney. He was educated at the Benedictine Ealing Priory School, but left school at the age of 15 after his father, Stanhope Sprigg, lost his job as literary editor of the Daily Express. Caudwell moved with his father to Bradford and began work as a reporter for the Yorkshire Observer. He made his way to Marxism and set about rethinking everything in light of it, from poetry to philosophy to physics, later joining the Communist Party of Great Britain in Poplar, London. In December 1936 he drove an ambulance to Spain and joined the International Brigades there, training as a machine-gunner at Albacete before becoming a machine-gun instructor and group political delegate. He edited a wall newspaper. He was killed in action on 12 February 1937, the first day of the Battle of the Jarama Valley. His brother, Theodore, had attempted to have Caudwell recalled by the Communist Party of Great Britain by showing its General Secretary, Harry Pollitt, the proofs of Caudwell's book Illusion and Reality. Caudwell's Marxist works were published posthumously. The first was Illusion and Reality (1937), an analysis of poetry. Caudwell published widely, writing criticism, poetry, short stories and novels. Much of his work was published posthumously. Christopher St John Sprigg - Author. Death of an Airman is an enjoyable and unorthodox whodunit from a writer whose short life was as remarkable as that of any of his fictional creations.

    UNTIMELY DEATHS IN RENAISSANCE DRAMA UNTIMELY DEATHS IN RENAISSANCE DRAMA: SHAKESPEARE, MIDDLETON, MARLOWE By ANDREW GRIFFIN, M.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy McMaster University ©Copyright by Andrew Griffin, July 2008 DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (2008) McMaster University (English) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: Untimely Deaths in Renaissance Drama: Shakespeare, Middleton, Marlowe AUTHOR: Andrew Griffin, M.A. (McMaster University), B.A. (Queen's University) SUPERVISOR: Professor Helen Ostovich NUMBER OF PAGES: vi+ 242 ii Abstract In this dissertation, I read several early modem plays - Shakespeare's Richard II, Middleton's A Chaste Maid in Cheapside, and Marlowe's Dido, Queene ofCarthage ­ alongside a variety of early modem historiographical works. I pair drama and historiography in order to negotiate the question of early modem untimely deaths. Rather than determining once and for all what it meant to die an untimely death in early modem England, I argue here that one answer to this question requires an understanding of the imagined relationship between individuals and the broader unfolding of history by which they were imagined to be shaped, which they were imagined to shape, or from which they imagined to be alienated. I assume here that drama-particularly historically-minded drama - is an ideal object to consider when approaching such vexed questions, and I also assume that the problematic of untimely deaths provides a framework in which to ask about the historico-culturally specific relationships that were imagined to obtain between subjects and history. While it is critically commonplace to assert that early modem drama often stages the so-called "modem" subject, I argue here that early modem visions of the subject are often closely linked to visions of that subject's place in the world, particularly in the world that is recorded by historiographers as a world within and of history.

  • Benjamin Paul Akers, St. Elizabeth of Hungary
    Conversations: An Online Journal of the Center for the Study of Material and Visual Cultures of Religion (mavcor.yale.edu) Benjamin Paul Akers, St. Elizabeth of Hungary Lauren Lessing Benjamin Paul Akers, St. Elizabeth of Hungary, 1860 In July 1857, a correspondent for the Philadelphia Inquirer visited Benjamin Paul Akers’ studio in Rome. He wrote: “A little statuette of St. Elizabeth of Hungary, at the moment when the bread in her apron was changed to flowers, promises to be very fine; the attitude is graceful and dignified.”1 This clay statuette (which is now lost) served as the basis for at least three large marble versions of St. Elizabeth produced by Akers and his studio assistants between 1859 and 1860, including the sculpture now owned by the Colby College Museum of Art. [Fig.] Akers’ sculpture depicts a thirteenth- century noblewoman who, according to legend, purloined food from her castle’s larder to distribute among the poor. When Elizabeth was intercepted by her husband, who demanded that she reveal what she carried wrapped in her cloak, the stolen loaves were miraculously transformed into roses. Although Akers typically worked in a neoclassical style, St. Elizabeth--with her small head, elongated limbs, elaborate drapery, and sinuously curved posture--is decidedly Gothic. After the sculptor’s untimely death from tuberculosis in 1861, critics praised this figure as one of his finest productions. Akers’ obituary in the New York Herald states: “In [St. Elizabeth], more than any of his completed works, the most peculiar and rarest qualities of the gifted artist are exhibited.”2 Given the fact that Akers was a Protestant working at a time when nativist Conversations: An Online Journal of the Center for the Study of Material and Visual Cultures of Religion (mavcor.yale.edu) and anti-Catholic sentiments ran high in the United States, his choice to depict a miracle performed by an Eastern European saint does indeed seem peculiar, as does the popularity of his sculpture.
