Educated mothers are more than twice as likely information so we need to nurture to send their children to school. As well as describing distressing the imagination to discern what is patterns of discrimination and abuse, the documentary highlighted really important.

  • Echoes of Shakespeare's
    Johnson Borrowed robes and garbled transmissions University of Southern Queensland, Australia Laurie Johnson Borrowed robes and garbled transmissions: echoes of Shakespeare’s dwarfish thief Abstract: When Shakespeare’s plays are creatively reinterpreted or rewritten, ‘Shakespeare’ invariably remains locked in as the fixed point of reference: rewritings of Shakespeare; reinterpretations of Shakespeare, and so on. Since 1753, Shakespeare source studies have been mapping the source materials on which his plays were based, which should have enabled us to loosen this fixed point of reference and to begin to picture the much longer history of reinterpretations in which the plays participate. Yet traditional approaches to Shakespeare source studies merely lock in a new point of reference, encompassing both source text and play. This paper aims to show that the new source studies unravels the notion of an ‘original’ by enabling us to unlock broader fields of exchange within which Shakespeare’s texts and our interpretations circulate together. Using the example of Macbeth and the language of borrowing and robbery within it, this essay illustrates the capacity for creative or writerly engagements with a Shakespearean text to tap, perhaps even unconsciously at times, into a history of words and images that goes far beyond the 400 years that we are marking in this year of Shakespeare. Biographical note: Laurie Johnson is Associate Professor (English and Cultural Studies) at the University of Southern Queensland and President elect of the Australian and New Zealand Shakespeare Association. His publications include The Tain of Hamlet (Cambridge Scholars, 2013), The Wolf Man’s Burden (Cornell, 2001), Embodied Cognition and Shakespeare’s Theatre: The Early Modern Body-Mind (co-edited with John Sutton and Evelyn Tribble, Routledge, 2014), and Rapt in Secret Studies: Emerging Shakespeares (co-edited with Darryl Chalk, Cambridge Scholars, 2010).

  • The Parable of the Prodigal Son in the Fiction of Elizabeth Gaskell
    THE PARABLE OF THE PRODIGAL SON IN THE FICTION OF ELIZABETH GASKELL Tatsuhiro OHNO A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of Master of Letters Department of English Literature College of Arts and Law Graduate School University of Birmingham September 2018 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ii ABSTRACT The purpose of this dissertation is to analyse Elizabeth Gaskell’s three prodigal short stories—“Lizzie Leigh” (1850), “The Crooked Branch” (1859), and “Crowley Castle” (1863)—with reference to her major works in terms of the biblical parable of the Prodigal Son representing the principal Christian creed of the Plan of Sal- vation. The investigation into the three short stories in addition to her major works discloses the following three main features. First, the recurrent appearance of the Prodigal Son motif—committing sin, repentance, and forgiveness—in her characters’ lives and actions. Second, Gaskell’s change of depicting the prodigal by gradually refraining from inserting hints for its salvation—there are many hints in the first short story, almost none in the second, and few in the third.
