Introduction Genre is an important word in the English class. We teach different genres of literature such as poetry, short stories, myths, plays, non-fiction, novels, mysteries, and so on. When we speak about a kind of literature we are really speaking about a genre of literature. So when someone asks you what genre of literature you like, you might answer, poetry, novels, comics, and so on. 1.1 Introduction to Assonance 1.1.1 Assonance Assonance is the repetition of vowel sounds to create internal rhyming within phrases or sentences, and together with alliteration and consonance serves as one of the building blocks of verse. For example, in the phrase “Do you like blue?”, the /u:/ is repeated within the sentence and is assonant. LOVELY PROFESSIONAL UNIVERSITY 1 British Poetry Notes Assonance is found more often in verse than in prose. It is used in (mainly modern) English-language poetry, and is particularly important in Old French, Spanish and Celtic languages. The eponymous student of Willy Russell’s Educating Rita described it as “getting the rhyme wrong”. Examples 1. The silken sad uncertain rustling of — Edgar Allan Poe, “The Raven” each purple curtain 2. And murmuring of innumerable bees — Alfred Lord Tennyson, The Princess VII.203 3. The crumbling thunder of seas — Robert Louis Stevenson 4. That solitude which suits abstruser — Samuel Taylor Coleridge, “Frost musings at Midnight” 5. The scurrying furred small friars squeal — Dylan Thomas in the dowse 6. Dead in the middle of little Italy, little — Big Pun, “Twinz” did we know that we riddled two middle men who didn’t do diddily. 7. It’s hot and it’s monotonous — Stephen Sondheim, Sunday in the Park with George, It’s Hot Up Here 8. Tundi tur unda — Catullus 11 9. On a proud round cloud in white high — E.E.Cummings, if a Cheer Rules night Elephant Angel Child Should Sit 10. I’ve never seen so many Dominician — Will Smith, “Miami” women with cinnamon tans 11.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 GLASGOW 1 UNIVERSITY (LIBRARY: ooPM 'i 2 Abstract The works of Laurence Sterne have made a significant and long-lasting contribution to the literary and cultural life of Russia. The early translations of the Letters from Yorick and Eliza and A Sentimental Journey as well as the critical discussions in the Russian media of the 1770s-1790s brought Russia into the mainstream of eighteenth century politics of Sensibility. The eighteenth-century Russian translations of Sterne’s Letters from Yorick to Eliza by Apukhtin (1789), Kolmakov (1793) and Karin (1795) and the first translation of A Sentimental Journey by Kolmakov (1793) reinforced the contemporary approach to questions of self­ development and morality, having anticipated the interpretation of literature as the enlightenment of the heart.

  • Shakespearean Canon in the Russian Literature at the Turn of the 18Th
    374 ЗНАНИЕ. ПОНИМАНИЕ. УМЕНИЕ 2015 — №3 AD LITTERAM DOI: 10.17805/zpu.2015.3.35 Shakespearean Сanon in the Russian Literature at the Turn of the 18th–19th Centuries* N. V. ZAKHAROV (MOSCOW UNIVERSITY FOR THE HUMANITIES) The article is concerned with the problem of formation of the Shakespearean canon in the new Russian literature at the turn of the 18th–19th centuries. We define the Shakespearean canon as a corpus of original works by the British genius and adequate interpretations of his texts in theater, criticism, cinema, art, cultures of different countries and peoples. The author analyzes Alexander Sumarokov’s adaptation of “Hamlet” (1748). It was a typical neoclassical play based on Pierre>Antoine de La Place’s translation of Shakespeare (“Thйatre Anglois”, 1745–1748). However, in the author’s opinion, it was Sumarokov who introduced “Hamlet” to the Russian theatrical and reading public. The earliest mention of Shakespeare reached Russia via translations and re>translations of French and German publications. Even in the early 19th century his works would frequently be translated to Russian from French Classicist adaptations by Jean>Franc,ois Ducis (1733–1816): “Lear” by Nikolay Gnedich and “Othello” by Ivan Velyaminov were published in 1808; Stepan Viskovatov translated “Hamlet” in 1811 and Petr Korsakov adapted “Macbeth” in 1815. The influence of Shakespeare on Mikhail Muravyov is a good example of formation of the “cult of Shakespeare” and his canon in the late 18th century. Along with historian Nikolay Karamzin, Muravyov became one of the first serious admirers of Shakespeare and popularizers of his canon in Russia.

Chief among them were that magician of the theatre Max Reinhardt, the poet Hugo von Hofmannsthal, the composer Richard Strauss, the stage designer Alfred Roller and the conductor Franz Schalk. Through our Ouverture spirituelle under the sign of Pax — Peace we call back to mind in this anniversary year of 2020 that founding principle of the Festival as a project dedicated to peace.

Most of the tickets of famous artists are sold through their fan clubs’ pre- order lottery system at uniform prices instead of through third-party platforms at different prices. Such a strategy seems counterintuitive, as entertainment firmsmay explore additional profitability by making seats publicly available and varying ticket price with seat quality. By forming two theoretical models, we explore the pricing strategy of Japanese firms from two aspects: habit formation process and random seating assignment. From the first model, we conclude that, with habit formation, firms’ overall optimal prices are lower than the first period optimal prices. Fromthe second model, we find that random seating assignment with uniform price always yields less revenue than price differentiation. This result suggests that Japanese firms might use lotteries due to reasons other than profit maximization in the primary market. 4 JAPANESE LIVE-CONCERT MARKET 1. Introduction For consumers outside of Japan, buying a concert ticket is simply one click on main- stream ticket service websites such as Ticketmaster.

Details of the flood are taken from contemporary periodicals. Those interested may refer to the account given by V.N. Berkh.1 INTRODUCTION A wave-swept shore, remote, forlorn: Here stood he,2 rapt in thought and drawn To distant prospects. Broad and chartless The river ran, along it borne A lonely skiff, rough-hewn and artless. Darker against the marshy green Of moss-grown banks appeared some mean Log huts: the poor Finns’ habitation; And forests which had never seen The mist-veiled sun’s illumination Were live with whispers. And he thought: ‘From here the Swede is ill-protected: A city on this site, to thwart His purposes, shall be erected. For here we may, by Nature blessed, Cut through a window to the West[1] And guard our seaboard with conviction.
