    INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)” . If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.

  • Entre Ombre Et Lumière : Les Voix Féminines Dans Les Métamorphoses
    Entre ombre et lumière : les voix féminines dans les Métamorphoses Hélène Vial Fondée sur l’articulation entre les passions des âmes et les métamorphoses des corps, l’esthétique des Métamorphoses d’Ovide délivre à la fois une vision audacieuse du monde et une conception neuve de l’entreprise poétique, le texte ovidien étant investi d’une très forte dimension réflexive due notamment à la correspondance exacte entre son sujet, la métamorphose, et sa forme, une écriture de la variation1. Or, la densité métalittéraire du poème est particulièrement grande dans les passages où se trouvent associés deux motifs qui constituent le sujet même du présent volume : celui de la voix et celui de la féminité. D’une part, la question de la voix est centrale dans les Métamorphoses ; d’autre part, les mythes féminins y sont très nombreux et d’une grande richesse symbolique ; et quand le poète relie l’une aux autres, la voix féminine apparaît dotée d’une capacité particulièrement saillante « à être inductric[e] de poésie », comme le disait l’appel à communication du séminaire qui a donné naissance à ce livre2, autrement dit à faire signe vers l’écriture et à parler du projet poétique dans son entier. C’est cette capacité qui constitue l’objet de mon analyse : dans la foule des silhouettes mythiques qui traversent les Métamorphoses et dont la voix nous est donnée à entendre, y a-t- il une spécificité féminine ? Et plus précisément, que nous disent sur la conception ovidienne de la poésie les paroles prononcées par ces figures féminines de l’ombre et du mystère3

  • A Jamestown Timeline
    A Jamestown Timeline Christopher Columbus never reached the shores of the North American Continent, but European explorers learned three things from him: there was someplace to go, there was a way to get there, and most importantly, there was a way to get back. Thus began the European exploration of what they referred to as the “New World”. The following timeline details important events in the establishment of the fi rst permanent English settlement in America – Jamestown, Virginia. PRELIMINARY EVENTS 1570s Spanish Jesuits set up an Indian mission on the York River in Virginia. They were killed by the Indians, and the mission was abandoned. Wahunsonacock (Chief Powhatan) inherited a chiefdom of six tribes on the upper James and middle York Rivers. By 1607, he had conquered about 25 other tribes. 1585-1590 Three separate voyages sent English settlers to Roanoke, Virginia (now North Carolina). On the last voyage, John White could not locate the “lost” settlers. 1602 Captain Bartholomew Gosnold explored New England, naming some areas near and including Martha’s Vineyard. 1603 Queen Elizabeth I died; James VI of Scotland became James I of England. EARLY SETTLEMENT YEARS 1606, April James I of England granted a charter to the Virginia Company to establish colonies in Virginia. The charter named two branches of the Company, the Virginia Company of London and the Virginia Company of Plymouth. 1606, December 20 Three ships – Susan Constant, Godspeed, and Discovery – left London with 105 men and boys to establish a colony in Virginia between 34 and 41 degrees latitude. 1607, April 26 The three ships sighted the land of Virginia, landed at Cape Henry (present day Virginia Beach) and were attacked by Indians.

    Charles City County Business Directory County Guide Compiled September 1998 By: Charles City County Department of Planning January 2016 **Please contact the Department of Planning to report any incorrect information** Introduction Charles City County is a quiet, rural haven located in the east-central portion of the Commonwealth of Virginia. In 1634, the colonial General Assembly met at Jamestown and divided the Virginia Colony into eight shires, similar to those in England. These were Accomack, Charles River, Henrico, Elizabeth City, James City, Warwick River, Warrosquyoake and Charles City. The Charles City shire was named for the English King's son, Charles, who later became King Charles I. When first established, Charles City comprised a large area on both sides of the James River, but gradually it lost land area to the formation of other counties. Settlement in Charles City County began as early as 1613. Many of the famous estates were patented in these early years. Charles Carter built Shirley Plantation about 1769. It is believed to be the first Virginia plantation. Today the Carter family still owns Shirley Plantation. Benjamin Harrison, IV, built the Berkeley Plantation mansion in 1726. Berkeley was the birthplace of Benjamin Harrison, V, a signer of the Declaration of Independence and Governor of Virginia. Berkeley was also the home of William Henry Harrison, the ninth President of the United States. John Tyler, tenth President of the United States, purchased Sherwood Forest in 1842. William Byrd, III, a notable Virginia planter, author, and colonial official constructed Westover Plantation about 1730. Evelynton Plantation was originally part of William Byrd's expansive Westover Plantation.
