Doing Literary Criticism Helping Students Engage with Challenging Texts Doing Literary Criticism Helping Students Engage with Challenging Texts Essays on Literary Criticism for Students to Read Bonus Resources for Teachers Additional Chapter on Postmodern Literary Criticism What You Have in This CD This CD includes a wealth of extra features to support you in doing literary criticism with your students. Each chapter includes classroom-ready essays for students to read, and many of the chapters have extra resources for teachers. There is also a complete additional chapter on postmodern criticism. Roam around a bit. I hope you will fi nd some useful materials for your classroom! Essays on Literary Criticism for Students to Read The essays aimed at students are linked to the different critical approaches addressed in this book. (They are basically streamlined versions of the information you read in each chapter, offering the same sort of overview, brief history, and benefi ts and limitations of each approach.) Though they are challenging, these essays have been extensively tested in classrooms with students. For each critical theory, two student essays are offered: a short version and a long version. The short versions generally run two pages, so they can be duplicated front- and-back on a single sheet of paper. The long versions generally run from four to six pages. I have always printed these long versions front-and-back, too, so the packets I handed out to students were never forbiddingly longer than three sheets with text on both sides. If you decide to try out the essays with your students, you’ll have to choose whether to use the long or short versions. The short versions offer a quick overview of each critical lens for students, and the long versions provide a more in-depth explanation. I mostly used the long versions with advanced or particularly motivated classes of seniors. The short versions I used with all my classes. You have permission to print out, duplicate, and use either the long or short essays with students in your classroom only, as long as you duplicate them as is, including giving proper credit to the author and to Stenhouse Publishers on every copy. Bonus Resources for Teachers The bonus resources for teachers supplement and extend the studies of different critical approaches outlined in Doing Literary Criticism. For example, to go along with Chapter 7, “Genre Criticism,” I have added a section on the modern genre of magic realism. To supplement Chapter 10, “Feminist Criticism,” the CD includes a history of women writers for the last 2,000 years. To add dimension to Chapter 11, “Political Criticism,” the CD has an extended description of many varieties of advocacy criticism. Additional resources for Chapter 12, “Formalist Criticism,” include a brief overview of close reading and a lengthy list of literary terms for students. Additional Chapter on Postmodern Literary Criticism Finally, this CD also offers an extra chapter on the most complicated of critical lenses, postmodern literary theory. The book in your hands simply could not be made long enough to accommodate this lengthy chapter on the complex ideas of modernism, postmodernism, and deconstruction. As with the other literary lenses in this book, an extensive discussion of the history, benefi ts, and limitations of postmodern criticism is offered, along with teaching suggestions and considerations and plenty of resource ideas. The bonus chapter also includes one student essay—a long version—to accompany its focus on “po-mo lit crit.” Try as I might, I just could not manage to squeeze all those ideas into a short version for students. So, if you decide to give postmodern criticism a try, you’ve got to go big!

The name of the critical game is not certainty, it’s having fun. —Margot Peters What Is Literary Criticism? Sometimes the word criticism puts people off, because in everyday use it has negative connotations. We usually think of a “critic” as the kind of grumpy person who seems to exist solely to fi nd problems and stress faults. The word means more than

Harold Bloom's The Anxiety of Influence has cast its own long shadow of influence since it was first published in Through an insightful study of Romantic poets, Bloom puts forth his central vision of the relations between tradition and the individual artist. Although Bloom was never the leader of any critical "camp," his argument that all literary texts are a response to those that precede them had an enormous impact on the practice of deconstruction and poststructuralist literary theory in this country.

  • UNIVERSITY of CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Misery Is the True Script For
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Misery is the True Script for Comedy: A Study of Italian Film Comedy in the 1950s A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Italian by Christopher Burton White 2014 © Copyright by Christopher Burton White 2014 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Misery is the True Script for Comedy: A Study of Italian Film Comedy in the 1950s by Christopher Burton White Doctor of Philosophy in Italian University of California, Los Angeles, 2014 Professor Thomas J. Harrison, Chair This dissertation fills a lacuna in the history of Italian cinema, formally analyzes a selection of significant film comedies from the 1950s, and challenges many of the assumptions that have been made about postWar Italian cinema. The conservative atmosphere of the fifties, the detrimental effects of censorship on Italian cinema, and the return of popular genres after the end of the widely-acclaimed neorealist period have led to assumptions about a limited engagement With contemporary Italian society in the motion pictures produced in Italy during the 1950s. While most critics and film historians vieW these years in Italian cinema as the disappointing aftermath of neorealism, a decade in Which conservative elements in Italian society pushed national cinema in the direction of facile optimism and escapism, this dissertation demonstrates that many comedies in fact engaged with Italian society, ii offering incisive critiques of contemporary Italy that pinpoint and satirize hypocrisy, inequality, and a host of other ills of the Italian republic in the 1950s. This study considers existing scholarship on Italian cinema and reevaluates films starring the popular Neapolitan actor Antonio De Curtis (Totò), Renato Castellani’s Due soldi di speranza (Two Cents Worth of Hope, 1952) and other examples of neorealismo rosa (rosy or pink neorealism), and the movies directed by Federico Fellini featuring Alberto Sordi, both in terms of aesthetics as well as subject matter.

  • Death on the Mississippi, an Archetypal Analysis Of
    DEATH ON THE MISSISSIPPI, AN ARCHETYPAL ANALYSIS OF HARK TWAIN'S HUCKLEBERRY FINN A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Department of English Kansas State Teachers College In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts by Robert Greg-ory 1-atterson July 197J PREFACE Actual and metaphorical deaths recur frequently in Twain's Huckleberry Finn. However, the patterns of these death incidents are not so easily deciphered as one might expect, for while there are indeed many deaths in Huckle­ berry Finn, to study everyone in detail would not necessarily prove that death itself is an important motif in the work. When one examines the circumstances sur­ rounding these deaths, however, a number of distinct and rather curious, even bizarre, patterns appear. It seems that a surprising number of deaths in Huckleberry Finn are accompanied by superstitious ritual, grotesque social pro­ tocol, and/or graphic demonstrations of the awesome power of natural forces. These deaths assume many forms; some are human demises, some are non-human expirations, and many are purely fie-urative "deaths." The theory posited here is not entirely new, nor is it without critical precedent and support. Richard P. Adams, 1n his "Introduction to Hark Twain" in American Literary Masters, sees the pattern of death and rebirth as the largest struc­ tural element in Huckleberry Finn. Bernard DeVoto, in ~ T\vain at \~ork, recognizes the death imagery in Huckleberry Finn as evidence of Twain's death-oriented thinking and observes that additional critical research must be conducted "to determine why death, the images and humors and disgusts 11 of death, the fear of death, and the threat of death colored his phantasy from childhood on." Selected death-incidents in Twain's life which might have influenced his art will be mentioned in this study, but the major focus \iill be upon an examination of and evaluation of recurrent death patterns in Hucl<leberry Finn, based on a Juneian archetypal critical approach.
