The city's drama critics, discour­ aged by the last two awards, then decided to get together and give UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII AWARD OF CRITICS their own prize. Mr. Anderson entered the theatre Anderson's Poetic Play Voted by way of school teaching and newspaper work. His first play was THEATRE GUilD Best of Season by N13wl y "The White Desert," in 1923. After Orga nized Circle. that came "The Feud," the famous "What Price Glory?" which he presents wrote with Laurence Stallings; "Outside Lool;:ing In,'' "First Flight" "Winterset," Maxwell Anderson's and "The Buccaneer,'' both with 1\llr. poetic play - the theme of which Stallings; "Forfeits," "Saturday's had been suggested by the Sacco­ Children,'' "Gods of the Lightning" Vanzetti case- won yesterday the (this also was about the Sacco-Van­ first annual prize awarded by the OO©V t!\ll ~@~@ zetti case, and was written in col­ New York Drama Critics Circle. laboration w ith Harold Hickerson); Of the seventeen newspaper and "Gypsy,'' "Elizabeth the Queen," magazine writers entitled to choose "Night Over Taos,'' "Both Your the season's best drama, fourteen Houses" (which won the Pulitzer Book and Lyrics by Claude Albon Stiehl ultimately agreed on the winner's Prize in 1933) , "Mary of Scotland," superior merit. "Valley Forge" and "Winterset." Music by Sir Arthur Sullivan The award carries the following citation: "The Circle's decision is based on the conviction that in 'Winterset' the author accomplished the nota­ bly difficult task of interpreting a val.id and challenging contemporary t~1 eme dealing with the pursuit of human justice in terms of unusual poetic force, realizing a drama o f r ich meaning and combining high literary distinction with compelling theatrical effect. "Courage and wisdom were clearly required in both the writing and presenting of 'Winterset'- and the Circle thinks it is a proof of the vitality and dignity of the New York theatre that this play was produced and so widely appreci­ ated." Mr. Anderson's capture of the critics' prize completes a cycle that began two years ago. At that time the drama judges for the Pulitzer Prize committee agreed unani­ mously that Mr. Anderson's "Mary of Scotland" had been the season's best offering. The general Pulitzer committee thereupon over-ruled its own judges and gave the award to "Men in White."

  • The Complete Stories
    The Complete Stories by Franz Kafka a.b.e-book v3.0 / Notes at the end Back Cover : "An important book, valuable in itself and absolutely fascinating. The stories are dreamlike, allegorical, symbolic, parabolic, grotesque, ritualistic, nasty, lucent, extremely personal, ghoulishly detached, exquisitely comic. numinous and prophetic." -- New York Times "The Complete Stories is an encyclopedia of our insecurities and our brave attempts to oppose them." -- Anatole Broyard Franz Kafka wrote continuously and furiously throughout his short and intensely lived life, but only allowed a fraction of his work to be published during his lifetime. Shortly before his death at the age of forty, he instructed Max Brod, his friend and literary executor, to burn all his remaining works of fiction. Fortunately, Brod disobeyed. Page 1 The Complete Stories brings together all of Kafka's stories, from the classic tales such as "The Metamorphosis," "In the Penal Colony" and "The Hunger Artist" to less-known, shorter pieces and fragments Brod released after Kafka's death; with the exception of his three novels, the whole of Kafka's narrative work is included in this volume. The remarkable depth and breadth of his brilliant and probing imagination become even more evident when these stories are seen as a whole. This edition also features a fascinating introduction by John Updike, a chronology of Kafka's life, and a selected bibliography of critical writings about Kafka.

  • Humor, Characterization, Plot: the Role of Secondary Characters in Late Eighteenth- and Nineteenth-Century Marriage Novels
    Humor, Characterization, Plot: The Role of Secondary Characters in Late Eighteenth- and Nineteenth-Century Marriage Novels Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Katrina M. Peterson, M.A. Graduate Program in English The Ohio State University 2011 Dissertation Committee: Clare Simmons, Adviser Leslie Tannenbaum Jill Galvan ABSTRACT Many late eighteenth- and nineteenth-century British novels utilize laughter as a social corrective, but this same laughter hides other messages about women‘s roles. As the genre‘s popularity widened, writers used novels to express opinions that would be eschewed in other, more established and serious genres. My dissertation argues that humor contributes to narrative meaning; as readers laugh at ―minor‖ characters, their laughter discourages specific behaviors, yet it also masks characters‘ important functions within narrative structure. Each chapter examines one type of humor—irony, parody, satire, and wit—along with a secondary female archetype: the matriarch, the old maid, the monster, and the mentor. Traditionally, the importance of laughter has been minimized, and the role of minor characters understudied. My project seeks to redress this imbalance through focusing on humor, secondary characterization, and plot. Chapter One, ―Irony and The Role of the Matriarch,‖ explores the humorous characterizations of Lady Maclaughlan and Miss Jenkyns within Susan Ferrier‘s Marriage (1818) and Elizabeth Gaskell‘s Cranford (1853). These novels share the following remarkable similarities: 1) they use characterization to unify unusually- structured novels; 2) they focus on humorous figures whose contributions to plot are masked by irony; 3) their matriarchal characters are absent for large portions of the stories; and 4) despite their absences, these figures‘ matriarchal power carries strong feminist implications.

  • Spinsters, Old Maids, and Cat Ladies: a Case Study in Containment Strategies
    SPINSTERS, OLD MAIDS, AND CAT LADIES: A CASE STUDY IN CONTAINMENT STRATEGIES Katherine Sullivan Barak A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2014 Committee: Ellen Berry, Advisor Vikki Krane Graduate Faculty Representative Sarah Smith Rainey Marilyn Motz © 2014 Katherine Sullivan Barak All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Ellen Berry, Advisor Using Michel Foucault’s notion of “containment strategies,” this dissertation argues that representations of the crazy cat lady, the reprehensible animal hoarder, the proud spinster, and the unproductive old maid negatively frame independent, single women as models of failed White womanhood. These characters must be contained because they intrinsically transgress social norms, query gender roles, and challenge the limitations of mediated womanhood. In order to explore the role of representation, this dissertation provides a suggestive history of the ways spinsters and old maids evolved into their current iteration, the cat lady. The research begins by tracing cultural representations of cats and women from 2000 BCE through the early modern period. After this retrospective, the research focuses on two particular points of cultural anxiety connected to changing gender roles: the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries. During the former, the media characterized spinsters and old maids as selfish, proud, unnatural, unproductive, and childish in newspapers, magazines, and pamphlets. Rather than focusing exclusively on the negative coverage, this dissertation deeply analyzes three transgressive novels, Agnes Grey, An Old-Fashioned Girl, and Lolly Willowes: Or the Loving Huntsman, to contextualize the ways positive representations of spinsters and old maids could threaten patriarchal society.
