Mythic Metamorphosis: Re-Shaping Identity in the Works of H.D. Sarah Lewis Mitchem Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of the Virgin
Mythic Metamorphosis: Re-shaping Identity in the Works of H.D. Sarah Lewis Mitchem Thesis submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in English Thomas Gardner, Chair Frederick M. D’Aguiar Paul Sorrentino April 13, 2007 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: H.D., Imagism, Mythic Metamorphoses, Asklepios Copyright (Optional) Mythic Metamorphosis: Re-shaping Identity in the Works of H.D. Sarah Lewis Mitchem Abstract In section fifteen of the poem The Walls Do Not Fall author Hilda Doolittle (H.D.) address her audience and articulates the purpose of the poet in the following lines: “we are the keepers of the secret,/ the carriers, the spinners/ of the rare intangible thread/ that binds all humanity/ to ancient wisdom,/ to antiquity;/…every concrete object/ has abstract value, is timeless/ in the dream parallel” (Trilogy 24). H.D. mined her own life for charged relationships which she then, through writing, connected to the mythic characters of antiquity whose tales embodied the same struggles she faced. Reading concrete objects as universal symbols which transcend time, her mind meshed the 20th century with previous cultures to create a nexus where the questions embedded in the human spirit are alive on multiple planes. The purpose of this research project is not to define her works as “successful” or “unsuccessful,” nor to weigh the works against each other in terms of “advancement.” Rather it is to describe the way she manipulates this most reliable of tools, mythic metamorphosis, in works stretching from her early Imagist poetry, through her long poem Trilogy, and finally into her last memoir End To Torment, taking note of the way she uses this tool to form beauty from harsh circumstances and help heal her shattered psyche. -

Ernest Miller Hemingway was born on July 21, 1899 in Oak Park, Illinois to Dr. Clarence Edmonds Hemingway and Grace Hall Hemingway. The second of six children, Ernest enjoyed an adventurous boyhood, fishing and hunting with his father in the northern woods of Michigan. He attended Oak Park High School where he excelled in his classes, particularly English. He tried his hand at football and swimming, edited the school paper (the Trapeze), and contributed pieces to the school's literary magazine (the Tabula). After graduating high school, Ernest traveled to Kansas City and worked as a cub reporter for The Kansas City Star. In 1918, he began service as an ambulance driver for the Italian army. On July 8, he was wounded at Fossalta on the Italian Piave while delivering chocolates, cigarettes, and postcards to soldiers. He married Elizabeth Hadley Richardson on September 3, 1921. The newlyweds soon entered the literary community of Paris, living off of Hadley's trust fund and Ernest's pay as a foreign correspondent for the Toronto Star. The 1920's were extremely productive writing years for Hemingway. Three Stories and Ten Poems was published in 1923, In Our Time in 1925. In 1926, The Torrents of Spring and the widely successful novel, The Sun Also Rises were published. -
Miriam B. Mandel, Ed., Hemingway and Africa
cial significance about this volume is that some contributors try to attune Crawford criti- cism to the current tendencies in literary studies. The essays that read his novels through the lens of gender studies or in the light of the politics of canon formation can help at- tract the attention of critics who work on related subjects, but so far have overlooked Crawford. Three outstanding contributions to the volume²admittedly the essays by Ambrosini, Isoldo and Pease²establish the standards of contemporary Crawford schol- arship. A Hundred Years After is a volume of conference proceedings and suffers from a sort of incoherence typical of such publications, so a more systematic critical presenta- WLRQRI&UDZIRUG¶VZULWLQJVLVQRZLQRUGHU7KHERRNLVDELOLQJXDOHGLWLRQDQGDOOSa- pers have English and Italian versions. 0DUHN3DU\Ī University of Warsaw Miriam B. Mandel, ed., Hemingway and Africa. New York: Camden House, 2011. xxvii + 398 pages. Among the manifold fields of scholarship that link Hemingway's restless life with his literary output are his numerous travels to and sojourns in various parts of the world which sparked his creative talent, notably Italy, France, Spain, the Gulf Stream, and East African regions. Whereas the presence of the European countries in his novels, short stories and nonfiction has been subjected to multifaceted studies, Africa, Cuba and the Gulf Stream have generated scant scholarship. Mark Ott presented the pivotal signifi- cance of the latter two areas in Hemingway's life and writing in A Sea of Change: Ernest Hemingway and the Gulf Stream (2008). In her "Introduction" to Hemingway and Africa, Miriam B. Mandel notes that "Africa is still an understudied area in Hemingway" (31); however, she unduly states: "This book is only a beginning" (32). -
Ernest Hemingway Global American Modernist
Ernest Hemingway Global American Modernist Lisa Tyler Sinclair Community College, USA Iconic American modernist Ernest Hemingway spent his entire adult life in an interna- tional (although primarily English-speaking) modernist milieu interested in breaking with the traditions of the past and creating new art forms. Throughout his lifetime he traveled extensively, especially in France, Spain, Italy, Cuba, and what was then British East Africa (now Kenya and Tanzania), and wrote about all of these places: “For we have been there in the books and out of the books – and where we go, if we are any good, there you can go as we have been” (Hemingway 1935, 109). At the time of his death, he was a global celebrity recognized around the world. His writings were widely translated during his lifetime and are still taught in secondary schools and universities all over the globe. Ernest Hemingway was born 21 July 1899, in Oak Park, Illinois, also the home of Frank Lloyd Wright, one of the most famous modernist architects in the world. Hemingway could look across the street from his childhood home and see one of Wright’s innovative designs (Hays 2014, 54). As he was growing up, Hemingway and his family often traveled to nearby Chicago to visit the Field Museum of Natural History and the Chicago Opera House. Because of the 1871 fire that destroyed structures over more than three square miles of the city, a substantial part of Chicago had become a clean slate on which late nineteenth-century and early twentieth-century architects could design what a modern city should look like. -

Then, I have to thank my supervisor, professor. Fatiha KAID BERRAHAL in THELIDJI Amar -University-Laghouat For the continuous support of my PhD study and related research, for her patience, motivation, and immense knowledge. Her guidance helped me in all the time of research and writing of this thesis. I could not have imagined having a better advisor and mentor for my PhD study. There are no proper words to convey my deep gratitude and respect for her. She has inspired me to become an independent researcher and helped me realize the power of critical reasoning. In fact the Thesis writing process has been a long journey for me, seven years of research that would not have been possible without her belief in me. I also thank my wife and partner who supported me through this venture and for her stimulating discussions, for the sleepless nights we were working together, especially these last three months, before deadlines, and for all the fun mixed with irritability we have had in the last six years. -
Michael Alexander. What Ezra Pound Meant to Me
MEMORIES ABOUT POUND UDC 821.111 DOI 10.22455/2541-7894-2019-7-186-201 Michael ALEXANDER WHAT EZRA POUND MEANT TO ME Abstract: The memoir about personal meetings with Ezra Pound in Rapallo in 1962 and 1963, at T. S. Eliot’s memorial service in London in 1965, and finally in Venice in the later 1960s, dwells also on the reception of the poet’s work in postwar Britain and in the USA. In the 1960s England largely forgot Pound; his role was historic, his name and his presence faded: in a version of literary history current in British universities in 1960, Ezra Pound figured as “the precursor of Eliot”. In the USA, on the contrary, his breakthrough in modernist poetry as well as his anti-Semitism and admiration for Italian Fascism were well recognized, thanks to the controversy over the award of the Bollingen Prize to Pound’s Pisan Cantos. The memoir shows how a name from literary history becomes a part of personal experience after meeting the man himself, and how it leads to a new understanding of the poet’s legacy – against wider historical, cultural, and literary background. The memoir also provides interesting facts that stimulate reflections on the literary canon, its constant change and flux despite its apparently stable nature. Keywords: memoir, Ezra Pound, T.S.
