Susanna Rowson’s novel began to appear in the June 4, marrying actor William Rowson in 1786, and in 1793, the 1803 issue, which opened with the twenty-eighth installment of Rowsons journeyed to the United States with a theater company. an essay series titled “The GOSSIP,” a short reflection on hope By that time, Susanna Rowson had already published some poetry and another on intemperance, a biographical sketch of a French and six novels, including Charlotte.

By 1794 bishop and another of a child prodigy, a number of short Rowson had republished some of her British works in the United anecdotes under the heading “AMUSING,” some scientific States, while also publishing new works, including several plays: anecdotes (including one about a chicken with the face of a Charlotte, republished in 1794 and again in 1797 as Charlotte human), and a short piece of the education of youth.

In June of 1804, the serial was briefly interrupted for a to the newspaper: “We formed our plan at first, of publishing a notice that the novel, if it found sufficient subscribers, would be published as a bound book volume.

The magazine version of the novel was Sarah’s narrative reliability; while the original title Sincerity seems cleaned up a bit—the spelling of characters’ names was to insist that she means what she says, there are fascinating standardized, punctuation was made more consistent, and the suggestions that Sarah simply cannot find a way to sincerely compressed columns of magazine text were broken up into express her feelings about Darnley. paragraphs, particularly in the sections with dialogue.

Our Sincerity to be her “most important contribution” to the Boston reproduction aims to approximate the periodical version, and Weekly Magazine, even as he categorizes the text as largely accordingly we have reproduced Sincerity with original headings, autobiographical: “in the sufferings and unflinching fidelity of the punctuation, paragraphing, and spelling, even when it is heroine, Sarah Darnley, the author is said to have given with her inconsistent (as is often the case with character names). We have pen, the portraiture of her own checkered and eventful life”; see, only followed the text of the later novel version for obvious Nason, A Memoir of Susanna Rowson (Munsell, 1870).

  • 2019 Seminar Abstracts: Shakespeare in Film History Greg Semenza, University of Connecticut
    1 2019 Seminar Abstracts: Shakespeare in Film History Greg Semenza, University of Connecticut SAA Seminar Description: Shakespeare in Film History (#42). Saturday, April 20th. 4:00-6:00 PM. In spite of increased sensitivity within Adaptation Studies to the importance of history for adaptation and appropriation, the literary text too often continues to dominate the conception and structure of most studies of literature on film. This seminar seeks to redress this imbalance by exploring how Shakespeare films have functioned and evolved in the context of the film industry. Papers are welcome on the cultural and political forces at work in various eras of film history from 1895-2018. Seminar Respondent: Courtney Lehmann, University of the Pacific Eric Brown, University of Maine at Farmington “The Lost Years: All Is True and the Branagh Lacuna” For the better part of a decade, no film director did more to build and popularize cinematic Shakespeare than Kenneth Branagh. Critical and box office successes, his films were the crown jewels of 1990s Shakespeare on screen. At the turn of the 21st century, Branagh was poised to deliver increasingly experimental adaptive works: a musical Love’s Labor’s Lost, a Mafioso Macbeth, and a version of As You Like It set in Japan. Love’s Labor’s Lost, however, was perhaps the greatest flop of 2000 and doomed the others—As You Like It was eventually completed but had minimal theatrical release and maximal poor reception. Macbeth was never made. Twelve years have passed since Branagh’s last Shakespeare film, during which time he morphed from the gritty upstart crow of Henry V to a polished deliverer of recent Hollywood blockbusters.

  • Introduction: the 1737 Accounts Provide a Series of Glimpses Into BF's Day-To-Day Family Life
    Franklin’s Accounts, 1737, Calendar 7. 1 Introduction: The 1737 accounts provide a series of glimpses into BF’s day-to-day family life. On one occasion (the only one for which we have any evidence), BF spoke sharply to Deborah concerning her careless bookeeping. Since the most expensive paper cost several times more than the cheapest, it was important to record either the price or the kind of paper. Deborah sold a quire of paper to the schoolteacher and poet William Satterthwaite on 15 Aug and did not record or remember what kind. After Franklin spoke to her, Deborah, in frustration, exasperation, and chagrin, recorded his words or the gist of them in the William Satterthwaite entry: “a Quier of paper that my Carles Wife for got to set down and now the carles thing donte now the prise sow I muste truste to you.” If she recorded the words exactly, BF may have spoken to Satterthwaite in her presence. That possibility, however, seems unlikely. I suspect that an irritated BF told her that he would have to ask Satterthwaite what kind of paper. One wonders if he had said anything to her earlier about the following minor charge: “Reseved of Ms. Benet 2 parchment that wass frows and shee has a pound of buter and 6 pens in money, 1.6., and sum flower but I dont now [know] what it cums to” (14 Feb). Franklin’s brother James died in 1735, and by 1737 BF was giving his sister-in-law Ann Franklin free supplies and imprints (21 and 28 May), for he did not bother to enter the amount.

Richardson, who was his own printer, revised Pamela eight times over twenty years, the sequel three times, and the majority of the variants have hitherto suffered from critical neglect. Because it is well known that Richardson responded to friendly and antagonistic “collaborators” by making emendations, I also examine the extant documents that played a role in Pamela’s development, including Richardson’s correspondence and contemporary criticisms of the novel. Pamela Reworded, then, is an explanation, exhibition, and interpretation of what Richardson revised, why he revised, and, more importantly, how the revisions affect one’s understanding of the novel and its characters.

    UNIVERSITY OF CINCINNATI DATE: November 25, 2002 I, Scott Rettberg , hereby submit this as part of the requirements for the degree of: Doctorate of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in: The Department of English & Comparative Literature It is entitled: Destination Unknown: Experiments in the Network Novel Approved by: Thomas LeClair, Ph.D. Joseph Tabbi, Ph.D. Norma Jenckes, Ph.D. Destination Unknown: Experiments in the Network Novel A dissertation submitted to the Division of Research and Advanced Studies of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctorate of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in the Department of English and Comparative Literature of the College of Arts and Sciences 2003 by Scott Rettberg B.A. Coe College, 1992 M.A. Illinois State University, 1995 Committee Chair: Thomas LeClair, Ph.D. Abstract The dissertation contains two components: a critical component that examines recent experiments in writing literature specifically for the electronic media, and a creative component that includes selections from The Unknown, the hypertext novel I coauthored with William Gillespie and Dirk Stratton. In the critical component of the dissertation, I argue that the network must be understood as a writing and reading environment distinct from both print and from discrete computer applications. In the introduction, I situate recent network literature within the context of electronic literature produced prior to the launch of the World Wide Web, establish the current range of experiments in electronic literature, and explore some of the advantages and disadvantages of writing and publishing literature for the network. In the second chapter, I examine the development of the book as a technology, analyze “electronic book” distribution models, and establish the difference between the “electronic book” and “electronic literature.” In the third chapter, I interrogate the ideas of linking, nonlinearity, and referentiality.
