  • Novel to Novel to Film: from Virginia Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway to Michael
    Rogers 1 Archived thesis/research paper/faculty publication from the University of North Carolina at Asheville’s NC DOCKS Institutional Repository: http://libres.uncg.edu/ir/unca/ Novel to Novel to Film: From Virginia Woolf’s Mrs. Dalloway to Michael Cunningham’s and Daldry-Hare’s The Hours Senior Paper Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For a Degree Bachelor of Arts with A Major in Literature at The University of North Carolina at Asheville Fall 2015 By Jacob Rogers ____________________ Thesis Director Dr. Kirk Boyle ____________________ Thesis Advisor Dr. Lorena Russell Rogers 2 All the famous novels of the world, with their well known characters, and their famous scenes, only asked, it seemed, to be put on the films. What could be easier and simpler? The cinema fell upon its prey with immense rapacity, and to this moment largely subsists upon the body of its unfortunate victim. But the results are disastrous to both. The alliance is unnatural. Eye and brain are torn asunder ruthlessly as they try vainly to work in couples. (Woolf, “The Movies and Reality”) Although adaptation’s detractors argue that “all the directorial Scheherezades of the world cannot add up to one Dostoevsky, it does seem to be more or less acceptable to adapt Romeo and Juliet into a respected high art form, like an opera or a ballet, but not to make it into a movie. If an adaptation is perceived as ‘lowering’ a story (according to some imagined hierarchy of medium or genre), response is likely to be negative...An adaptation is a derivation that is not derivative—a work that is second without being secondary.

    Creative Writing (Iowa Writers' Workshop) 1 Creative Writing (Iowa Writers' Workshop) Director • Lan Samantha Chang Graduate degree: M.F.A. in English Faculty: https://writersworkshop.uiowa.edu/people Website: https://writersworkshop.uiowa.edu/ The Creative Writing Program (Iowa Writers' Workshop) is a world-renowned graduate program for fiction writers and poets. Founded in 1936, it was the first creative writing program in the United States to offer a degree, and it became a model for many contemporary writing programs. In addition to its Master of Fine Arts program, it also offers writing courses for undergraduates. The Iowa Writers' Workshop has been home to thousands of remarkable writers, including Flannery O'Connor, Raymond Carver, Rita Dove, John Irving, James Alan McPherson, Philip Levine, Jane Smiley, Michael Cunningham, Sandra Cisneros, Denis Johnson, Jorie Graham, Ann Patchett, D.A. Powell, Nathan Englander, Yiyun Li, Eleanor Catton, Angela Flournoy, Garth Greenwell, Yaa Gyasi, and Jamel Brinkley. The program's faculty and alumni include winners of virtually every major literary award, including seventeen winners of the Pulitzer Prize (most recently Paul Harding in 2010), six recent U.S. Poets Laureate, and numerous winners of the National Book Award, MacArthur Foundation Fellowships, and other major honors. In 2003, the Iowa Writers' Workshop received a National Humanities Medal from the National Endowment for the Humanities—the first awarded to a university and only the second given to an institution rather than an individual. The Creative Writing Program offers courses for students from other programs of study; summer courses are open to undergraduate and graduate students.

  • Addition to Summer Letter
    May 2020 Dear Student, You are enrolled in Advanced Placement English Literature and Composition for the coming school year. Bowling Green High School has offered this course since 1983. I thought that I would tell you a little bit about the course and what will be expected of you. Please share this letter with your parents or guardians. A.P. Literature and Composition is a year-long class that is taught on a college freshman level. This means that we will read college level texts—often from college anthologies—and we will deal with other materials generally taught in college. You should be advised that some of these texts are sophisticated and contain mature themes and/or advanced levels of difficulty. In this class we will concentrate on refining reading, writing, and critical analysis skills, as well as personal reactions to literature. A.P. Literature is not a survey course or a history of literature course so instead of studying English and world literature chronologically, we will be studying a mix of classic and contemporary pieces of fiction from all eras and from diverse cultures. This gives us an opportunity to develop more than a superficial understanding of literary works and their ideas. Writing is at the heart of this A.P. course, so you will write often in journals, in both personal and researched essays, and in creative responses. You will need to revise your writing. I have found that even good students—like you—need to refine, mature, and improve their writing skills. You will have to work diligently at revising major essays.

  • The Portrayal of Women in Michael Cunningham's the Hours By
    Citra Dewi Saraswati Being Cunningham’s Women: The Portrayal of Women in Michael Cunningham’s The Hours Being Cunningham’s Women: The Portrayal of Women in Michael Cunningham’s The Hours by: Citra Dewi Saraswati English Language and Literature Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia [email protected] ABSTRACT This present study entitled Being Cunningham’s Women: The Portrayal of Women in Michael Cunningham’s The Hours is aimed to unearth the way in which Michael Cunningham, as a male author, portrays women in the novel The Hours. This study employs qualitative descriptive method coupled with textual analysis approach. It can be seen from the portrayal of women as the ones who are unconfident and exhausted in domestic sphere yet powerful enough to make their own decision to liberate themselves from the exhaustion caused by their life. In other words, Cunningham subverts Gubar’s (1980, cited in Lange, 2008) notion that male authors perceive women as “blank page.” With the benefit of stream of consciousness method, Cunningham has successfully portrayed women’s experience and their situation accurately while, at the same time, diffusing liberal feminism value in his work. Keywords: Feminism, Liberal Feminism, Portrayal, Stream of Consciousness 69 Passage2014,2(2), 69-81 INTRODUCTION conducted by Roger (1996), Miner Most portrayal of life from female (1997), and Ruunaniemi (2001). point of view in literature is written Roger (1996) conducted an analysis by women authors (Lange, 2008, p. of how women are portrayed in Ian 1). However, male authors too have McEwan’s fictions. From her study, written fictions about women and it is concluded that, in some of some of them ‘have attempted to see McEwan’s fictions, women are life from a woman’s perspective’ portrayed in a way that ‘encapsulates (ibid.).

  • An Interview with Michael Cunningham
    An Interview with Michael Cunningham A SEARCH FOR TRANSCENDENCE IN THE SNOW QUEEN By Sarah Anne Johnson I FIRST MET MICHAEL CUNNINGHAM when I took a writing workshop at the Provincetown Fine Arts Work Center. I’d come to Provincetown for the summer, and I was hard at work on a novel. Cunningham was working on The Hours at the time, a novel he referred to in class as “a little book about Virginia Woolf.” The main point I took away from Cunningham’s workshop was an attention to physical detail. For a writing exercise, he had us walk around town and follow a person, then come back to the class and write a description of that person. Of course, his own description blew us out of the water. But that lesson, that attention to the minutest of details, has stuck with me throughout my writing life. When a scene in my writing becomes very emotional or intense, when things get heady, I turn to what is physical and present. When I put two people in a room, the emotion arises out of what I can describe in that room. Of course, watching the trajectory of Cunningham’s literary life makes an impression as well: a sense of perseverance, finding your own literary terrain, and carrying on. His books began as straightforward narratives and they’ve passed into some other, new form that is uniquely his own. He is an artist who is constantly searching out new meanings and expressions through language. Michael Cunningham is the author of the novels The Snow Queen, A Home at the End of the World, Flesh and Blood, The Hours (winner of the PEN/Faulkner Award and Pulitzer Prize), Specimen Days, and By Nightfall, as well as the nonfiction bookLand’s End: A Walk in Provincetown.

  • Novel Options: Woolf, Morrison, Ondaatje
    Novel Options: Woolf, Morrison, Ondaatje For your next work for literary study in this course, you can choose Mrs. Dalloway, Sula, or Anil’s Ghost. All three are complex narratives with non-linear structures and experimental writing styles, and all three use shifting perspectives (sometimes with stream-of-consciousness or other modernist techniques), and all three are written in complex, fluid, beautiful prose (although the prose style varies between the three highly individualistic authors). Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf (published 1925) From Amazon.com: “Direct and vivid in her account of Clarissa Dalloway’s preparations for a party, Virginia Woolf explores the hidden springs of thought and action in one day of a woman’s life…In Mrs. Dalloway, the novel on which the movie The Hours was based, Virginia Woolf details Clarissa Dalloway’s preparations for a party of which she is to be hostess, exploring the hidden springs of thought and action in one day of a woman’s life. The novel ‘contains some of the most beautiful, complex, incisive and idiosyncratic sentences ever written in English, and that alone would be reason enough to read it. It is one of the most moving, revolutionary artworks of the twentieth century’ (Michael Cunningham).” Themes: roles of women; sanity and insanity; war/PTSD; modernization; love/marriage Setting: London in the 1920s Some Significant Characters: Clarissa Dalloway, a middle-aged, wealthy London hostess; her husband Richard, a government official; her girlhood best friend Sally; Peter Walsh, who was desperately in love with Clarissa in their youth; Septimus Warren Smith, a World War I veteran with severe PTSD; Lucrezia Smith, Septimus’s young Italian wife.
