I love this type of mama revolution in the first place. My cats will be able to suspend my life for a long time to make it a waste of time.

Package is nerve and a story about opening mind often constructed by her loss and creations. azw, pdf, kindle, epub Description: From Publishers Weekly In the spirit of The Island of Lost Maps, journalist Worrall's compelling debut explores the career of a counterfeit artist and the world of literary forgery. When a newly discovered poem by Emily Dickinson surfaced in a Sotheby's auction in 1997, a library in the poet's hometown quickly snatched it up. Four months later, however, the poem was returned as fake; it was the work of Mark Hofmann, a rare books dealer and a master falsifier who was then in prison for murder. Using the Dickinson incident as a guide, Worrall reconstructs the life and crimes of the 20th century's best forger (Hofmann's fake of the 17th-century "Oath of a Freeman" passed a carbon 14 dating test). A Mormon by birth, Hofmann had a contempt for his religion that led him to counterfeit its missing sacred documents: he made his own inks, used chemicals to "age" the paper, fabricated documents to authenticate others and spread misinformation to bolster his authority. The lies and subterfuges of this meticulous though imperfect confidence man resulted in the murder of two innocent people, one of them a man who could have exposed him. Some of Worrall's depictions of minor characters feel a bit hackneyed, but his rendering of Hofmann's deep-seated frustrations is engrossing, and positing the forger's quasi-political subversions against the Mormon faith and what he saw as its illusions makes for a juicy read. A history of literary forgery and forensic accounting of handwriting keeps the pages turning, though a late return to the reclusive Dickinson feels like a forced justification of the title. Photos not seen by PW. (May)Forecast: This should be widely reviewed, and fans of literature and true crime will stream to the bookstores. Copyright 2002 Cahners Business Information, Inc. From When a writer can make the formation of letters in handwriting an act of breath- holding suspense, you know you're in good hands. Journalist Worrall infuses the crime of forgery with the thrill of creation, spiced with the knowledge that one false micromove can mean discovery and ruin. In 1997, Sotheby's unveiled what experts believed was a newly discovered poem, "That God Cannot Be Understood," by Emily Dickinson. A few weeks later, the exciting discovery was revealed to be a forgery by a man who had already convincingly forged documents by more than 100 literary and historical figures, including Daniel Boone and Betsy Ross. This book examines the psychology of master forger and murderer (he killed two people who threatened his unmasking) Mark Hofmann. It also stands as a compelling forensic case study of forgery. From interviews with Emily Dickinson scholars, auctioneers, and forensic- document experts, Worrall pieces together the arduous artistry of forgery. A true- crime standout.

  • Forgers and Fiction: How Forgery Developed the Novel, 1846-79

This work is protected against unauthorized copying under Title 17, United States Code. ProQuest LLC 789 East Eisenhower Parkway P.O. Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 2 Abstract This thesis argues that real-life forgery cases significantly shaped the form of Victorian fiction. Forgeries of bills of exchange, wills, parish registers or other documents were depicted in at least one hundred novels between 1846 and 1879. Many of these portrayals were inspired by celebrated real-life forgery cases. Forgeries are fictions, and Victorian fiction’s representations of forgery were often self- reflexive. Chapter one establishes the historical, legal and literary contexts for forgery in the Victorian period. Chapter two demonstrates how real-life forgers prompted Victorian fiction to explore its ambivalences about various conceptions of realist representation. Chapter three shows how real-life forgers enabled Victorian fiction to develop the genre of sensationalism. Chapter four investigates how real-life forgers influenced fiction’s questioning of its epistemological status in Victorian culture.

    "Where are the originals?" Britishness and problems of authenticity in post-Union literature from Addison to Macpherson. Melvin Eugene Kersey III Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. University of Leeds, School of English September 2001 The candidate confirms that the work submitted is his/her own and that appropriate credit has been given where reference has been made to the work of others. Acknowledgements This thesis would not have been possible without the generous help, encouragement and support of many people. My research has benefited beyond reckoning from the supervision of Professor David Fairer, whose inspired scholarship has never interfered with his commitment to my research. It is difficult to know whether to thank or to curse Professor Andrew Wawn for introducing me to James Macpherson's Ossianic poetry during my MA at Leeds, but at any rate I am now doubly indebted to him for his insightful reading of a chapter of this thesis. I am also grateful to Professor Paul Hammond for his enormously helpful comments and suggestions on another chapter. And despite the necessary professional distance which an internal examiner must maintain, I have still enjoyed the benevolent proximity effect of Professor Edward Larrissy. I am grateful to Sue Baker and the administrative staff of the School of English for providing me with employment and moral support during this thesis, especially Pamela Rhodes. Special thanks to the inestimable help, friendship and rigorous mind of Dr. Michael Brown, and to Professor Terence and Sue Brown for their repeated generous hospitality in Dublin.

  • Crafting Critical Feminist Narrative Pedagogies Through Women’S and Queer Life Writing
    ABSTRACT TEACHING A TRANSFORMATIVE STORY: CRAFTING CRITICAL FEMINIST NARRATIVE PEDAGOGIES THROUGH WOMEN’S AND QUEER LIFE WRITING Rhiannon Catherwood, PhD Department of English Northern Illinois University, 2017 Diana L. Swanson, Director This dissertation bridges narrative psychology, pedagogical theory, and the study of marginalized life writing. Narrative psychologists argue that human beings instinctively process their experiences in terms of story, including educational experiences. Literary critics focusing on life writing argue that authors of differing backgrounds produce distinctly different genres of life narrative, evidencing different patterns of thought and reasoning. The principal concern of teaching professionals should be to create an inclusive atmosphere which maximizes the learning potential of a diverse body of students. This means developing educational practices which reflect the diverse ways in which students perceive and relate to the world around them. This dissertation incorporates queer and feminist literary theory and criticism, textual analysis of a variety of autobiographies, memoirs, and personal essays, research on the application of narrative theory to pedagogy, and critical feminist pedagogy. Building on existing research on narrative pedagogy with analysis of the distinct qualities of women’s autobiography and queer autobiography, this project suggests changes to both classroom practices and curriculum development. By changing the genre of our educational narratives, we can transform the atmosphere of campuses and classrooms into one in which previously marginalized students are centralized and empowered.

Paananen DOCTORAL DISSERTATION to be presented for public discussion with the permission of the Faculty of Theology of the University of Helsinki, in Auditorium XIV, University Main Building, on the 29th of May, 2019 at 12 o’clock. Helsinki 2019 - -* * 4' ( ) *5 4' ( ) *5 .* 46 * ' (5 -* 7 4 * ' (5 .* 46 * ' (5 .$ 978-951-51-5250-3 4%% *5 .$ 978-951-51-5251-0 4 5 ' ) * /120 Abstract A standard approach in historically minded disciplines to documents and other artefacts that have become suspect is to concentrate on their dissimilarities with known genuine artefacts. While such an approach works reasonably well with relatively poor forgeries, more skilfully done counterfeits have tended to divide expert opinions, demanding protracted scholarly attention. As there has not been a widespread scholarly consensus on a constrained set of criteria for detecting forgeries, a pragmatic maximum for such dissimilarities—as there are potentially an infinite numbers of differences that can be enumerated between any two artefacts—has been impossible to set. Thus, rather than relying on a philosophically robust critical framework, scholars have been accustomed to approaching the matter on a largely case-by-case basis, with a handful of loosely formulated rules for guidance. In response to these shortcomings, this dissertation argues that a key characteristic of inquiry in historically minded disciplines should be the ability to distinguish between knowledge-claims that are epistemically warranted—i.e., that can be asserted post hoc from the material reality they have become embedded in with reference to some sort of rigorous methodological framework—and knowledge-claims that are not.
