Study of Greek same-sex relations since Sir Kenneth Dover’s influen- tial Greek Homosexuality (London, 1978) has been dominated by a hi- erarchical understanding of the pederastic relations assumed to be normative between older, sexually and emotionally active “lovers” and younger, sexually and emotionally passive “beloveds.” Michel Foucault’s subsequent History of Sexuality: Vol. 2, The Use of Pleasure (New York, 1986) was heavily influenced by Dover’s collection of evidence and concretized these roles into formalized “sexual proto- cols.” Self-consciously invoking Foucault was David Halperin’s One Hundred Years of Homosexuality (London, 1990), which envisioned phallic penetration as a trope for the asymmetrical political em- powerment of adult citizen males over “women, boys, foreigners, and slaves—all of them persons who do not enjoy the same legal and political rights and privileges that he does” (Halperin, p. 30).

  • Chronologically Lewis Joel D
    Chronologically Lewis Joel D. Heck All notes are done in the present tense of the verb for consistency. Start and end dates of term are those officially listed in the Oxford calendar. An email from Robin Darwall-Smith on 11/26/2008 explains the discrepancies between official term dates and the notes of C. S. Lewis in his diary and letters: “Term officially starts on a Thursday, but then 1st Week (out of 8) starts on the following Sunday (some might say Saturday, but it ought to be Sunday). The week in which the start of term falls is known now as „0th Week‟. I don‟t know how far back that name goes, but I‟d be surprised if it wasn‟t known in Lewis‟s day. The system at the start of term which I knew in the 1980s - and which I guess was there in Lewis‟s time too - was that the undergraduates had to be in residence by the Thursday of 0th Week; the Friday was set aside for start of term Collections (like the ones memorably described in Lewis‟s diary at Univ.!), and for meetings with one‟s tutors. Then after the weekend lectures and tutorials started in earnest on the Monday of 1st Week.” Email from Robin Darwall-Smith on 11/27/2008: “The two starts to the Oxford term actually have names. There‟s the start of term, in midweek, and then the start of „Full Term‟, on the Sunday - and is always Sunday. Lectures and tutorials start up on the following day.

  • The Forties: a Doctorate in Creative and Critical Writing
    The Forties: A Doctorate in Creative and Critical Writing Todd Swift Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the degree of PhD University of East Anglia Faculty of Humanities School of Literature and Creative Writing August, 2011 © This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived therefrom must be in accordance with current UK copyright law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. ABSTRACT Todd Swift, 2011, ‗The Forties: A Doctorate in Creative and Critical Writing‘ This work is in two parts: a portfolio of creative writing (poetry), preceded by a critical thesis. In the critical aspect of my dissertation I contest a dominant account of poetic creation and influence in the period 1938–1954, and consider a third line of influence that arose in post-war British poetry. The methodology follows in the footsteps of Other Traditions by John Ashbery: literary criticism by a practitioner. My critical writing complements my poetry collection, whose various styles and registers relate to the poetic influences discussed. My first three chapters develop the argument as follows: Chapter One considers ideas of ‗style‘ and ‗poetic style‘. Chapter Two narrows in on the idea of ‗period style‘ in poetry and turns more specifically into a discussion of the Forties Style in Poetry. Chapter Three looks directly at the period under question, the Forties, and its key poet, Dylan Thomas, as read by critics. Chapter Four discusses F.T. Prince, a major poet much overlooked.

  • (May 1)—The Risen Christ Appears to His Disciples PRAY That You Will Be Open to What Jesus Means When He Says
    Day 121 (May 1)—The Risen Christ Appears to His Disciples PRAY that you will be open to what Jesus means when He says, “As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.” READ—John 20:19-21:25 OBSERVE—We’ve covered John 18:1-20:19 in our study of the passages common to the Gospels. In the events surrounding Jesus’ death, John parallels the Synoptic Gospels more closely than anyplace else. His account of Jesus’ post-resurrection appearances adds a great deal to our understanding of those incredible days! v.19-23—Though R.C. Sproul cautions us against assuming that the risen Christ passed through the door and into the room where the huddled disciples sat (Knowing Scripture, p. 46), it’s hard to see any other intention from John’s language. He seems to be describing a supernatural appearance, though Jesus immediately calms their fears by showing His hands and side. Before the dramatic appearance of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, Jesus gave Him to His followers in a quiet, but dramatic, fashion. Their spiritual power and authority as leaders of the infant church would enable them to exercise church discipline. v.24-29—We mentioned earlier that one of the reasons Thomas may not have been with the other disciples is that he was dealing with his own grief at disappointing his Lord (John 11:16). Though Thomas is a pragmatist and empiricist, when proof is offered, his response is perfect, “My Lord and my God!” As a message to future believers, Jesus emphasizes that faith is believing what is not seen (Hebrews 11:1), not requiring proof.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Modern Women9s Poetry 1910-1929 Jane Dowson Abstract In tracing the publications and publishing initiatives of early twentieth-century women poets in Britain, this thesis reviews their work in the context of a male-dominated literary environment and the cultural shifts relating to the First World War, women’s suffrage and the growth of popular culture. The first two chapters outline a climate of new rights and opportunities in which women became public poets for the first time. They ran printing presses and bookshops, edited magazines and wrote criticism. They aimed to align themselves with a male tradition which excluded them and insisted upon their difference. Defining themselves antithetically to the mythologised poetess of the nineteenth century and popular verse, they developed strategies for disguising their gender through indeterminate speakers, fictional dramatisations or anti-realist subversions.
