  • Camp Parody in the British Long Eighteenth Century
    GREAT AFFECTATIONS: CAMP PARODY IN THE BRITISH LONG EIGHTEENTH CENTURY A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Sarah Lynn Cote January 2014 © 2014 Sarah Lynn Cote GREAT AFFECTATIONS: CAMP PARODY IN THE BRITISH LONG EIGHTEENTH CENTURY Sarah Lynn Cote, Ph.D. Cornell University 2014 My dissertation explains that, despite the nominal anachronism, camp has always inhabited literature of the long eighteenth century, namely those examples that were created from and, to some degree, for those experiencing the world from a socially or sexually marginal perspective. To interpret as camp is to not only account for the excesses of style that often infuriate and discompose aesthetic and generic categories of the time period, although it can provide an explanatory motive for noticeably disruptive and even flamboyant literary style. A camp reading can also bring together seemingly disparate texts under the umbrella of alterity. It provides an ideal and common language for discussing formal and generic literary styles alongside feminist, queer, and cultural interpretations. Camp in the eighteenth century is particularly well-positioned to make important contributions to ongoing discussions about the public sphere, the shifts in audience and reception among all media, and the influences of realism, especially relating to the bourgeois representations of affects and emotions. To me, camp is a parodic project, which means that it must bear a symbiotic relationship to the normative text or value that it plays up. Its parody is reliant on those modes opposed as “other” to their marginalized selves; in my examples, the target ranges among the heteronormative family, the orderly body, the sexual object, temporal mastery, aesthetic ownership, sentimental empathy, and even the self.

  • Galatea : a Pastoral Romance
    Presented to the UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO LIBRARY by the ONTARIO LEGISLATIVE LIBRARY 1980 V C V GALA MIGUEL DE CERVANTES SAAYEDRA 1ITERALLY TEANSLATED FROM THE SPANISH BY GORDON W1LLOUGHBY JAMES GYLL, "A TRACTATE OK "THE HISTORY OF AUTHOR OF LANGUAGE," WRAYSBUBT , HORTON, AND COLNBROOK, BUCKS," ETC. LONDON: GEORGE BELL & SONS, YORK ST., COVENT GARDEN. AND NEW YORK. 1892. ^ LONDON : REPRINTED FROM STEREO-PLATES BY WILLIAM CLOWES AND SONS, LIMITED. STAMFORD STREET AND CHARING CROSS. TRANSLATOE'S PEEFACE. IN this translation of the Galatea of Cervantes, the object has been to convey the story in language as closely as pos- sible to the original. The translator fears he may not alway have succeeded in completely rendering the narratives ot the various incidents which characterise this simple pastoral epic, and that also he may have to apologise for somewhat ot roughness in his transfusion of the poetry, which has found its equivalent, where the lines have been long, in blank verse. The other portions of the poetry he has rendered literally, but wherever the two dialects assimilated he has thought it sufficient to furnish only a kind of metrical rhythm. This elegant and simple production, the earliest from the pen of the eminent poet and novelist of Spain, pour- traying young, fresh, and vivid scintillations of genius, has never been translated into any language. We have only its shadow in the French production of Florian, which is based on the Spanish story, and though written in an en- gaging and graceful style, is not that mature and elegant child of the brain of Cervantes which is now for the first time presented to the English reader.

  • CUPID by Laura Jepsen a Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of The
    CUPID By Laura Jepsen A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts, in the Department of Classical Languages, in the Graduate College of the State University of Iowa July 1936 PREFACE I express my appreciation to Professor W. Leigh Sowers of the Department of English of the State University of Iowa, under whose direction this play became a thesis. Laura Jepsen Davenport May 3, 1936 ACT I ACT I The workshop of Pygmalion, which is the scene of our opening Act, is at the top of a rather high cliff in the hills of Mount Parnassus. We have a right to place it where we will, and the reason Parnassus is chosen is that poets live there. So did we, in former days when Ovid’s “Metamorphoses” was on exquisite flight for the imagination; and some desire to pay a little tribute to that poet’s genius, as well as some compulsion to recapture the curious native spirit of the place, drags us back to those unforgettable heights known as Mount Parnassus. Pygmalion, therefore, lives on Parnassus. To get there, some of the more sophisticated of us will have to turn back the time several decades and all of us will have to put on our winged sandals, for Parnassus is more than a question of geography. That done, we are at the foot of a flight of stone steps leading to the workshop of Pygmalion. It is an old house, one which must have started falling in the time of Homer and shows no signs of stopping.

  • A Study of the British Library Manuscripts of the Roman De Troie by Benoit De Sainte-Maure: Redaction, Decoration, and Reception
    A Study of the British Library Manuscripts of the Roman de Troie by Benoit de Sainte-Maure: Redaction, Decoration, and Reception Sian Prosser Doctor of Philosophy University of Sheffield Department of French January 2010 IMAGING SERVICES NORTH Boston Spa/ Wetherby West Yorkshire/ LS23 7BQ www.bl.uk THIS THESIS CONTAINS A CD IMAGING SERVICES NORTH Boston Spa, Wetherby West Yorkshire, LS23 7BQ www.bl.uk PAGE NUMBERING AS ORIGINAL Summary Recent studies of the Roman de Troie have highlighted the need for more research on the extant manuscripts, because of the unreliable nature of the critical edition and the importance of the text to scholars of twelfth -century literature. This study seeks to contribute to knowledge of one of the most popular versions of the Troy legend in medieval France by describing and analysing two little-known manuscripts of the text. London, British Library, Additional 30863 (L2) presents an abridged version of the poem that provides insights into the reception of the poem in the early thirteenth century. London, British Library, Harley 4482 (L 1) contains a series of decorated initials which exhibit a higher than suspected level of engagement with the text on the part of the manuscript's makers. Part I of the thesis concentrates on L2, beginning in chapter 1 with a codicological and palaeographical description, and a discussion of its likely provenance. Chapter 2 develops the codicological analysis, looking at specific evidence of scribal editing and comparing the manuscript with its closest relative to see which abridgments are unique to L2. It concludes with case studies that illustrate the scribe's abridgement techniques via the presentation of the principal female characters.

    ‘Troy Story’ by Andrew Oxspring NON-RHYMING SCRIPT SAMPLE (To the intro music (track 9) the whole cast enters and positions are taken for the first song.) Song (tracks 1 & 10, lyrics p17) (Whole cast) (To one side of the main stage stand four narrators, reading from scrolls.) Narrator 1 Welcome, one and all, to our little bit of theatre which tells a tragic tale from Ancient Greece! Prepare to be astonished, astounded and amazed at just how crazy things could get three thousand years ago! Narrator 2 Before we start, however, we must ask that you keep any coughing, sneezing and, dare we say, snoring to a minimum – our actors are very sensitive, you know! Oh, and in respect for the historical period we are portraying, please ensure that all your mobile phones have been switched off! They didn’t have them in those days, in case you weren’t aware! Narrator 3 So, let’s begin our story on Mount Olympus, a paradise home to the gods and goddesses of Ancient Greece. We say ‘paradise’, but on this particular day things weren’t so happy and relaxed. Three of the goddesses had really got the hump with each other! (Hera, Athene and Aphrodite enter and stand on one side of the stage, hands on hips, glaring angrily at each other. Zeus leads on the other gods and goddesses and they stand opposite.) Narrator 4 Hera, Athene and Aphrodite had fallen out! It seemed that these three ladies couldn’t agree on who the winner of ‘most glamourous goddess’ should be.

  • Orality, Fluid Textualization and Interweaving Themes
    Orality,Fluid Textualization and Interweaving Themes. Some Remarks on the Doloneia: Magical Horses from Night to Light and Death to Life Anton Bierl * Introduction: Methodological Reflection The Doloneia, Book 10 of the Iliad, takes place during the night and its events have been long interpreted as unheroic exploits of ambush and cunning. First the desperate Greek leader Agamemnon cannot sleep and initiates a long series of wake-up calls as he seeks new information and counsel. When the Greeks finally send out Odysseus and Diomedes, the two heroes encounter the Trojan Dolon who intends to spy on the Achaeans. They hunt him down, and in his fear of death, Dolon betrays the whereabouts of Rhesus and his Thracian troops who have arrived on scene late. Accordingly, the focus shifts from the endeavor to obtain new knowledge to the massacre of enemies and the retrieval of won- drous horses through trickery and violence. * I would like to thank Antonios Rengakos for his kind invitation to Thessalo- niki, as well as the editors of this volume, Franco Montanari, Antonios Renga- kos and Christos Tsagalis. Besides the Conference Homer in the 21st Century,I gave other versions of the paper at Brown (2010) and Columbia University (CAM, 2011). I am grateful to the audiences for much useful criticism, partic- ularly to Casey Dué, Deborah Boedeker, Marco Fantuzzi, Pura Nieto Hernan- dez, David Konstan, Kurt Raaflaub and William Harris for stimulating conver- sations. Only after the final submission of this contribution, Donald E. Lavigne granted me insight into his not yet published manuscript “Bad Kharma: A ‘Fragment’ of the Iliad and Iambic Laughter” in which he detects iambic reso- nances in the Doloneia, and I received a reference to M.F.

  • Galatea's Daughters: Dolls, Female Identity and the Material Imagination
    Galatea‘s Daughters: Dolls, Female Identity and the Material Imagination in Victorian Literature and Culture Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Maria Eugenia Gonzalez-Posse, M.A. Graduate Program in English The Ohio State University 2012 Dissertation Committee: David G. Riede, Advisor Jill Galvan Clare A. Simmons Copyright by Maria Eugenia Gonzalez-Posse 2012 Abstract The doll, as we conceive of it today, is the product of a Victorian cultural phenomenon. It was not until the middle of the nineteenth century that a dedicated doll industry was developed and that dolls began to find their way into children‘s literature, the rhetoric of femininity, periodical publications and canonical texts. Surprisingly, the Victorian fascination with the doll has largely gone unexamined and critics and readers have tended to dismiss dolls as mere agents of female acculturation. Guided by the recent material turn in Victorian studies and drawing extensively from texts only recently made available through digitization projects and periodical databases, my dissertation seeks to provide a richer account of the way this most fraught and symbolic of objects figured in the lives and imaginations of the Victorians.
