The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School College of the Liberal Arts REVENGE AND STORYTELLING IN ENGLISH DRAMA, 1580-1640 A Dissertation in English by Heather Janine Murray © 2008 Heather Janine Murray Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2008 ii The dissertation of Heather Janine Murray was reviewed and approved* by the following: Linda Woodbridge Josephine Berry Weiss Chair in the Humanities and Professor of English Thesis Advisor Chair of Committee Laura Knoppers Professor of English Garrett Sullivan Professor of English Marcy North Associate Professor of English Christine Clark-Evans Associate Professor of French, Women's Studies, and African and African American Studies Robert R. Edwards Edwin Erle Sparks Professor of English and Comparative Literature Director of Graduate Studies Department of English *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School. iii ABSTRACT This dissertation proposes that storytelling functions as a catalyst for revenge in early modern English revenge tragedy. Chapters on Kyd’s The Spanish Tragedy, Shakespeare’s first tetralogy, Cary’s The Tragedy of Mariam, and Ford’s ‘Tis Pity She’s a Whore examine the ways in which storytelling perpetuates acts of vengeance by individuals, families, and nations. Two premises shape the central argument. First, revengers come from within an intimate circle of family and friends; second, the desire for revenge is maintained, and the act of revenge later justified, through story-telling within this circle. Crimes ostensibly committed against an individual affect those nearest to the injured party, particularly close friends and family. Consequently, the revenger almost always comes from one of these two groups. -

Ethics, Gesture and the Western
PERFORMANCE PHILOSOPHY ETHICS, GESTURE AND THE WESTERN MICHAEL MINDEN JESUS COLLEGE, UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE Hollywood Western films constitute one of the truly unmistakeable genres in the era of cinema. This reality of genre, and the expectations and effects that it enables in real people, demand to be taken seriously when one thinks about how cultures of performance and fiction relate to the challenge to think creatively about ethics. However, the commercial and formulaic nature of the products of Hollywood seem to represent a kind of medial discourse quite antithetical to serious ethical reflection. Giorgio Agamben is in my view exemplary in the creativity of his thinking about ethics. As part of this engagement he is deeply interested in what he calls the ethics of gesture in performance and film. I would like, in what follows, to think about the Western, despite its origins in the sphere of commodities, within an Agambenian framework. At the same time my intention is to exploit the genre’s accessibility with a view to probing and clarifying Agamben’s sometimes tangled elucubrations. Drawing on David Foster Wallace’s reflections on genre structures in his novel Infinite Jest, my conclusion will be that alongside an ethics of gesture, we should also be thinking about an ethics of genre when we reflect upon a possible ethical life today. The Hollywood Western: An Unlikely Place for an Ethics of Gesture? Agamben takes the position that western society of the twentieth century ‘lost its gestures’ in the sense that pathological forms of the loss of bodily control, ‘ataxia, tics, and dystonia’, became the norm, and thus invisible and forgotten (2000, 51). -

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. — Fred Galvin was crying. He had welled up a few other times throughout the past three days, but now large tears spilled over his eyelids during an abrupt flashback to the St. Thomas More School playground and the rage he felt seeing two bullies pummel one of his classmates, an Asian kid named John Wong. Fred was a sixth grader at the time. "I remember how nobody else bothered to stick up for him," he said. In that moment, the battle-hardened Marine officer, now 45 and retired from the Corps, fought to stave off a memory that has pained him for decades. And then, just as suddenly as it had come on, the episode was over. He inhaled sharply, blotted his Retired Maj. Fred Galvin eyes dry and apologized.
