    VCU Open 2013 Round 7 Tossups 1. One play by this author features a man with "all the nations of the old world at war in his veins" arriving to sort out the plot in the final act; that character created by him is the American naval captain Hamlin Kearney. This author wrote a play that includes a Moroccan sheikh who kills Christians until stopped by the lady-explorer Cicely Waynflete and the crusty title guide. In another play by this man, Essie is invited to stay in the new home of a man that Judith Anderson hates, after uncle Peter is hanged, and Westerbridge, New Hampshire is sent into a tizzy when Dick Dudgeon is sentenced to death. In another play by him, a chain of murders leads to the death of Pothinus and then, at the hands of Rufio, Ftatateeta, after one title character finds the other between the paws of the Sphinx and then in a rolled-up carpet. This author of Captain Brassbound's Conversion included John Burgoyne as an antagonist in his The Devil's Disciple; those two dramas, along with Caesar and Cleopatra, make up his Three Plays for Puritans. For 10 points, name this playwright of Man and Superman and Pygmalion. ANSWER: George Bernard Shaw [or GBS] 019-13-64-07101 2. Magallis and Damophilus of Enna are particularly blamed for behavior leading to an event of this type by Diodorus Siculus. One of these events was organized by a Syrian man who had entertained party guests by breathing fire and making humorous prophecies about an event of this kind.

  • America and the 'Way to the Devil'
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-108-42848-4 — Counterfeit Culture Rob Turner Excerpt More Information Introduction: America and the ‘Way to the Devil’ It was under these circumstances that I resolved to go to America – on my way to the Devil. Charles Dickens, ‘The Holly-Tree: Three Branches’ (1855)1 ‘By a special arrangement with me and my English Publishers’, ran a notice attached to the American edition of Dickens’s ‘The Holly-Tree’, ‘MESSRS. TICKNOR AND FIELDS, of Boston, have become the only authorized representatives in America of the whole series of my books’.2 Like the patented swoosh on a trainer, or the chef’s signature on a supermarket meal, this sentence offers a guarantee of authenticity in the face of a local mass of counterfeits. Writing a few decades before the arrival of international copyright law (with the Chace Act of 1891), Dickens was unable to launch a case against the American book pirates; instead, he penned a long series of essays, open letters and stories, tracing the moral cost of cultural inauthenticity. Upon visiting the New World for the first time in 1842, he had dismissed it as a ‘foul growth’ whose people don’t ‘care for poetry’, the roots of their malaise lying ‘deep in its licentious press’.3 By 1855, with the fictional landscape of ‘The Holly-Tree’, things grew darker still, the territory across the Atlantic yawning open as a pathway to hell. ‘I was not going that way to the Devil’, his narrator reminds us, ‘but by the American route’.4 The notion of antebellum America as a site of essential (and diabo- lical) inauthenticity can be found in the margins of Sincerity and 1 Charles Dickens, The Uncommercial Traveller, and Additional Christmas Stories ([1855] Boston, MA: Fields, Osgood, & Co., Successors to Ticknor and Fields, 1869), p.

You may print copies of this material for your family, but you may not redistribute it without permission from the publisher. Designed for use with Exploring America by Ray Notgrass Notgrass Company 975 Roaring River Rd. Gainesboro, TN 38562 1-800-211-8793 www.notgrass.com Who, What, How, Why, and Why Not: A Primer for Literary Analysis of Fiction People read books. Some books (think Shakespeare, Charles Dickens, and Jane Austen) are still widely read decades and even centuries after they were written. Many, many books (think of the highly forgettable ones you see in used book sales—over and over) are a flash in the pan or are even less noticeable. What’s the difference? Is it just that most people like this book and most people dislike that one? Sort of, but it is more nuanced than that. Literary analysis is studying the parts of a work of literature (such as plot, setting, characters, and narration) to see how the author uses them to create the overall meaning of the work as a whole. Professors, teachers, students, critics, and everyday people analyze works of literature: novels, short stories, poems, and non-fiction. They think about the story or plot of the book, how it develops, the characters in the book, the words and structure that the author uses, and other elements of the work. People who analyze literature have developed standard methods. Primarily, this involves looking for elements that are found in most literary works. The purpose of literary analysis is to understand how a piece of literature works: how the writer constructs his or her story, and why the work affects readers the way it does.
