  • POPULARIZING CHAUCER in the NINETEENTH CENTURY by Charlotte C
    POPULARIZING CHAUCER IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY by Charlotte C. Morse Charles Cowden Clarke (1787–1877), Charles Knight (1791–1873), and John Saunders (1810–1895) were the most effective boosters of Chaucer’s common readership before the university in the mid-1860s took over the care and promotion of Middle English language and literature, includ- ing Chaucer.1 All three popularizers came of age in the wake of the French Revolution, which reinforced and magnified whatever nationalist impulses were already at work in nascent pan-European Romanticism. Ideas of a people united by shared culture rather than by allegiance to a king made the invention and promotion of a literary tradition a desideratum for every nation. Thanks especially to J. G. Herder, the nationalism produced by and in reaction to the French Revolution gave language a newly impor- tant role in defining the nation and granted exceptional political value to the nation’s literary and folk culture for its capacity both to unify and to stimulate continuing negotiation with tradition, essential to the per- petuation of the national community.2 In England the Revolution exerted contrary pressures, to reaction or to reform. Those in favor of reform understood that the political class, those with political rights, had to expand. Some asserted literacy as a basic human right.3 In this yeasty atmosphere, Cowden Clarke and Knight came of age; Saunders came to manhood in the run-up to the Reform Bill of 1832. All three identified with the reformist politics of the early decades of the century, when Henry Brougham, later Chancellor, led the parlia- mentary committee that aimed to improve mass education in England.4 The three popularizers believed that Chaucer’s poetry, like Shakespeare’s drama, should belong to all Englishmen.

McGlew And approved by ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey May, 2017 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION ACTORS AND CONSPIRATORS: CIVIC ANXIETY IN LATE ATTIC TRAGEDY By SCOTT ASHER WILLIAM BARNARD Dissertation Director: James F. McGlew In the year 411 BC, Athens endured a brief but violent political revolution at a moment when the city’s fortunes were declining in the late stage of the Peloponnesian War. This “coup of 411” was driven by a relatively small number of oligarchic sympathizers who conspired in secret to overthrow the democratic Athenian government and install themselves at the head of a new oligarchic regime, that, they believed, would secure desperately needed aid from the Persian Empire against their Spartan enemies. For all of the civic turbulence these oligarchic conspirators caused, their government collapsed after only a few months and Athenian citizens were left to reinstall their fragile democracy. In the aftermath of the coup of 411 (and other conspiracies that preceded it) the citizens of Athens were particularly agitated by the possibility that other conspiracies may have been active in the city, and there is evidence that a sense of mutual suspicion was pervasive. And yet, in spite of the political upheaval many of Athens’ civic and cultural institutions remained active – including the annual celebration of the City Dionysia, the festival that served as the venue for the production of Greek tragedy.

  • I from Treasure Hunting to Archaeological Dig. History of the Excavations of Herculaneum and Pompeii
    I From Treasure Hunting to Archaeological Dig. History of the Excavations of Herculaneum and Pompeii In Antiquity, the region at the foot of Vesuvius was renowned for its healthy climate, fertility and beauty. There were good ports in ancient Herculaneum and Pompeii, and navigable rivers flanked Pompeii. The area was rather densely inhabited by people living in farmsteads, villages and small cities. Pompeii, Herculaneum and Stabiae, lying around Vesuvius, were to be singled out in history because of their unhappy fortune in A.D. 79, not thanks to specific features that placed the towns above other average settlements in the Roman world. Undoubtedly, many eruptions had happened before – some of them are also known from stratigraphic excavations – but Vesuvius seemed dead, or had been sleeping for ages, when it exploded in 79.3 This eruption was so powerful that the fill of the wide caldara – which looked like a plain top next to the ridge of Monte Somma – was blown up, crumbled by the heat and the gases coming from inside the earth. Thanks to a long description of the event in two letters by the younger Pliny, seventeen years old at the time, written some twenty years later to his friend, the historian Tacitus, volcanologists are able to reconstruct the event. Many people were able to save themselves, but a great number died on this day of hell.4 The small towns had no particular importance within the Roman Empire. They are barely mentioned in the written sources we possess,5 and many questions remain open: when were they founded and who were their first inhabitants? How did they develop? Herculaneum was said to have been founded by Hercules; the other places do not have a foundation myth, but the same Hercules would also be the founder of Pompeii.

  • The Anonymous 1821 Translation of Goethe's Faustus
    The anonymous 1821 translation of Goethe’s Faustus: A cluster analytic approach By Refat A. Ali A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of English Literature, Language and Linguistics Newcastle University September, 2015 Abstract This study tests the hypothesis proposed by Frederick Burwick and James McKusick in 2007 that Samuel Taylor Coleridge was the author of the anonymous translation of Goethe's Faust published by Thomas Boosey in 1821. The approach to hypothesis testing is stylometric. Specifically, function word usage is selected as the stylometric criterion, and 80 function words are used to define a 73-dimensional function word frequency profile vector for each text in the corpus of Coleridge's literary works and for a selection of works by a range of contemporary English authors. Each profile vector is a point in 80- dimensional vector space, and cluster analytic methods are used to determine the distribution of profile vectors in the space. If the hypothesis being tested is valid, then the profile for the 1821 translation should be closer in the space to works known to be by Coleridge than to works by the other authors. The cluster analytic results show, however, that this is not the case, and the conclusion is that the Burwick and McKusick hypothesis is falsified relative to the stylometric criterion and analytic methodology used. i Dedication To my aged mother, Without your blessings on me none of my success would be possible ii Acknowledgments Thanking every individual without missing others is a daunting task. But, I would like to express my sincere gratitude and thank all individuals who have supported me during these years and who have become invaluable for me along this Ph.D.
