In the interview segment, ER's guest is Shakespearean actor Maurice Evans. In a final segment, ER quotes a passage from the Declaration of Independence. Participants: ER, Elliott Roosevelt, Maurice Evans [ER:] How do you do? This is Eleanor Roosevelt speaking. It gives me great pleasure to visit with you as I do each day at this time from my living room atop the Park Sheraton Hotel overlooking New York. I'm grateful for the many encouraging letters you send me, and most happy that you find my guests both informative and entertaining as I do. Now my son Elliott, who assists me on these programs will speak to you. [Elliott Roosevelt] Yes I will Mother, thank you. Today's guest Mr. Maurice Evans [1901-1989] has brought Shakespearian plays to life for many people in many places but his role on today's program will be strictly Mr. Evans playing himself.

With Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (1865), children’s literature escaped from the grimly moral tone of evangelical tracts to delight in magical worlds populated by talking rabbits and stubborn lobsters. A key work in modern fantasy literature, it is the prototype of the portal quest, in which readers are invited to follow the protagonist into an alternate world of the fantastic. The Alice books are one of the best-known works in world literature. They have been translated into over one hundred languages, and are referenced and cited in academic works and popular culture to this day.

Charles Dodgson) is a language specialist who has verifiably altered our lexicon and created fictional worlds that serve as commentary on our ability to effectively create meaning within our existing communicative systems. This ability to create language and illustrations of everyday language issues can be traced back to his personal quest for order and meaning; the logician and teacher has uncovered the accepted language and language practices that can result in verbal confusion and ineffective speech, as well as the accepted practices that can help us to avoid verbal confusion and social conflict—all of which reveals a theorist in his own right, one who aides our understanding of signification and pragmatic social skills. Dodgson’s fictive representations of our ordinary language concerns serve as concrete examples of contextual language interactions; therefore, they serve as appropriate material for the teaching of rhetorical theory and, most especially, language arts.

    Harbin_Text.qxd 12/3/2004 12:50 PM Page 252 Laurents’s ability to direct is more often lauded than his writing. He regularly unites all elements of the production—music, voice, setting, movement, and picturization—to create vibrant dramatic moments. The understanding of structure and character honed in his writing assists in drawing out fully human characterizations. His ability to ‹nd new or Laurents underutilized talent—Jane Fonda in Invitation to a March, Lansbury in 252 Anyone Can Whistle, George Hearn in La Cage aux Folles—signi‹es an astute eye and ensures his lasting in›uence. A very sexual man—his ‹rst gay experience was at thirteen and he was more interested in quantity of partners than quality for many years— Laurents struggled with his homosexuality in psychotherapy, keeping it out of his play Heartsong (1946) and claiming that he would have excluded it as a subtext from Home of the Brave (Laurents, 65, 53). At the same time, he accepted his homosexuality and is proud of how “truth- fully” it was treated in his ‹rst movie, Rope (131). There are biographical aspects of his work to explore (particularly in The Enclave), as well as the- matic obsessions, such as the ‹gure of the complicated, boyish blond (i.e., the major in Home of the Brave, the disillusioned artist in Time of the Cuckoo, the characters played by Hatcher, and Robert Redford’s Hubbell in The Way We Were).

  • Lewis Carroll - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series Lewis Carroll - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Lewis Carroll(27 January 1832 – 14 January 1898) Charles Lutwidge Dodgson better known by the pseudonym Lewis Carroll, was an English author, mathematician, logician, Anglican deacon and photographer. His most famous writings are Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel Through the Looking-Glass, as well as the poems "The Hunting of the Snark" and "Jabberwocky", all examples of the genre of literary nonsense. He is noted for his facility at word play, logic, and fantasy, and there are societies dedicated to the enjoyment and promotion of his works and the investigation of his life in many parts of the world, including the United Kingdom, Japan, the United States, and New Zealand. Antecedents Dodgson's family was predominantly northern English, with Irish connections. Conservative and High Church Anglican, most of Dodgson's ancestors were army officers or Church of England clergymen. His great-grandfather, also Charles Dodgson, had risen through the ranks of the church to become Bishop of Elphin. His grandfather, another Charles, had been an army captain, killed in action in Ireland in 1803, when his two sons were hardly more than babies. His mother's name was Frances Jane Lutwidge. The elder of these sons – yet another Charles Dodgson – was Carroll's father. He reverted to the other family tradition and took holy orders. He went to Westminster School, and thence to Christ Church, Oxford. He was mathematically gifted and won a double first degree, which could have been the prelude to a brilliant academic career.
