For me, the art of exploring the works of Woolf began at home, in a few of the countless hours I spent there drifting through the stuff that had collected over the years. Th us it is with a certain feeling of resonance that I read the memoir of Woolf’s friend Gwen Raverat, née Darwin, exploring her grandfather’s house, as a child, and fi nding there all manner of passions and wonders. She writes of the mere pebbles: Th ey were not loose, but stuck down tight in moss and sand, and were black and shiny, as if they had been polished. I adored those pebbles. I mean literally adored; worshipped. Th is kind of feeling hits you in the stomach, and in the ends of your fi ngers, and it is probably the most important thing in life. Long after I have forgotten all my human loves, I shall still remember the smell of a gooseberry leaf, or the feel of the wet grass on my bare feet; or the pebbles in the path. (141–42) Th e smell of those tobacco-infused hardcover editions and the feel of their smooth, shiny, disintegrating dust jackets provides me with similar feelings. Exploring an old house has its curious surprises and even terrors: Raverat writes of dashing “at full speed” through her grandfather’s study, which was “faintly holy and sinister. Th ere were many mysteri- ous things on the tables and shelves, including a baby in a bottle; or at least something in alcohol, which I took to be a baby” (153). Here, there is a sense of shock, even hor- ror; exploration,

  • Las Meninas (Group)
    Las Meninas (group) Dated 17.8.57. on the back Cannes Oil on canvas 194 x 260 cm Donated by the artist, 1968 MPB 70.433 The work . Chronologically, this work is the first in the series where Picasso produced a personal interpretation of the whole of Velázquez’s work. The same characters as in Velázquez’s work appear here, although, with an aesthetically different form, with variations in certain elements of the composition. On the one hand, the vertical format is substituted for the horizontal. On the other, where in Velázquez's work the figure around whom the entire composition revolves is the Infanta Margarita, in Picasso's work, the Infanta still has an essential role but so does the figure of the painter who, shown in disproportionate size and holding two palettes, takes a major role, reinforcing in this way the idea that the most important thing in the entire creation of art is the artist himself. In this way, moving towards the right of the composition, the form simplifies and the figures to the right contrast with the more elaborate figures of Velázquez and the first 'menina'. Another major variant is the treatment of light and colour. This variation has a direct effect on the painting’s luminosity with the opening of large windows to the right which, in Velázquez’s work, remain closed. The lack of colour contrasts with this luminosity. Blacks and whites dominate the composition, whether on purpose since Picasso had used this resource before or due to the only reference he had being a large photographic blow-up in black and white.

  • Virginia Woolf's Carlylean Pilgrimages
    Revisiting a Great Man’s House: Virginia Woolf’s Carlylean Pilgrimages MARIE LANIEL LTHOU G H MANY EARLY TWENTIETH -CENTURY WRITERS TEND TO disparage Thomas Carlyle’s moral earnestness, emphatic A hero-worship, and stern authoritarianism, most of them also feel strangely compelled to express ambivalent feelings of involuntary allegiance towards the Victorian sage. Enveloped in spiritual turmoil, Bertrand Russell found comfort by reading Carlyle’s account of his own religious crisis in Sartor Resartus (1833– 34) and felt obliged to acknowledge that he was oddly “moved by rhetoric which [he] could not accept. Carlyle’s ‘Everlasting No’ and ‘Everlasting Yea’ seemed to me very splendid, in spite of my thinking that at bottom they were nonsense” (27). Such remarks help to explain Carlyle’s curiously cloaked influence in the novels of the period, ranging from E. M. Forster’s A Room with a View (1908) to D. H. Lawrence’s Women in Love (1920). In these circumstances, it was perhaps inevitable that James Joyce should recognize the advent of Carlylean rhetoric as a momentous stage in the development of English prose writing by including a true-to-life, if slightly irreverent, impersonation of the Victorian prophet in the “Oxen of the Sun” chapter in Ulysses (1922). Of all modernist writers, Virginia Woolf (1882–1941) was perhaps the most reluctant to acknowledge any debt towards Carlyle. Throughout her life she was impervious to his egotistical rhetoric and critical of his authoritarian streak. In a letter to Margaret Llewelyn-Davies (23 January 1916), Woolf derides his oracular tone and dismisses his gloomy insights as the ravings of a misguided prophet: “I’ve been reading Carlyle’s Past and Present, and wondering whether all his rant has made a scrap CSA 24 2008 118 CARLYLE STUDIE S ANNUAL of difference practically” (Letters 2: 76).

  • Writing the Subject: Virginia Woolf and Clothes Carolyn Abbs
    Writing the Subject: Virginia Woolf and Clothes Carolyn Abbs Virginia Woolf had a fascination with clothes and textiles. She wrote about clothes in her diaries, fiction and non-fiction and she even wrote for Vogue magazine – the editor was a friend.1 There may have been some in- fluence from William Morris’s designs and tapestries, the Omega work- shops of the time, Serge Diaghilev and costume designs for the Ballets Russes, and we know that she worked needlepoint with her sister Vanessa Bell. However, in regard to writing the subject, it was more than a mere fascination with clothes: she recognized the important link between clothes and the body. The other aspect of her life and work of relevance here is her intrigue with childhood and childhood experience – particularly the memory of her mother. I am interested in the way Woolf’s fascination with clothes and intrigue are entwined with childhood experience and memory in her work. In this paper, I suggest that Virginia Woolf has a method of writing the subject that involves clothes and textiles. The method stems from her autobiographical writing, in particular the childhood memory of her mother, and is carried through into her novelistic practice. I will argue that Woolf is able to fictionalize/ re-work memory as perception of the body by involving “clothes and textiles”;2 that is, she understands a confluence between body and clothes which she writes via the nonverbal and, in particular, the tactile to create the subject in her writing practice. It is this confluence which I un- COLLOQUY text theory critique 11 (2006).

Sparhawk-Jones: Art Feature ART FEATURE Elizabeth Sparlzawk-Jones NOTES ON THE PAINTINGS AL THO UGH MOD E RN in spirit, Sparhawk-Jones is one of those artists who continues the tradition of previous centuries. Many of her paintings are frankly and recognizably pictures of people, and of the way people feel about themselves and their situation. Other examples of her work are pictures of ideas poeti­ cally viewed, such as romantic love, or injustice. AIl of her paint­ ings may be described as icons of personality, highly stylized and symbolic images. Icons encourage iconography, the study of the forms of representation. Although a painting by Sparhawk-Jones can be appreciated as an abstract, esthetic image apart from its literary- meaning, the subject represented is as important, if not more important, than the composition and color in determining the total impreSsion the painting gives. The purpose of the notes that, follow is to suggest (without attempting to be definitive or fanciful) , meanings inherent in a few of these paintings.

Department of Fine Arts The University of British Columbia 1956 Main Mall Vancouver, Canada V6T 1Y3 Date October, 1988 DE-6(3/81) ABSTRACT The Neo-Orientalism of Matisse's The Blue Nude (Souvenir of Biskra), and Picasso's Les Demoiselles d'Avignon, both of 1907, exists in the similarity of the extreme distortion of the female form and defines the different meanings attached to these "ugly" women relative to distinctive notions of erotic and exotic imagery. To understand Neo-Orientalism, that is, 19th century Orientalist concepts which were filtered through Primitivism in the 20th century, the racial, sexual and class antagonisms of the period, which not only influenced attitudes towards erotic and exotic imagery, but also defined and categorized humanity, must be considered in their historical context.

  • Dante Gabriel Rossetti - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series Dante Gabriel Rossetti - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Dante Gabriel Rossetti(12 May 1828 – 9 April 1882) Rossetti was born, the son of an Italian patriot and political refugee and an English mother, in England. He was raised in an environment of cultural and political activity that, it has been suggested, was of more import to his learning than his formal education. This latter was constituted by a general education at King's College from 1836 to 1841 and, following drawing lessons at a school in central London at the age of fourteen, some time as a student at the Royal Academy from 1845 onwards. Here he studied painting with William Hollman Hunt and John Everett Millais who, in 1848, would set up the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood with Rossetti, Rossetti's younger brother and three other students. The school's aspirations, in this its first incarnation, was to paint true to nature: a task pursued by way of minute attention to detail and the practice of painting out of doors. Rossetti's principal contribution to the Brotherhood was his insistence on linking poetry and painting, no doubt inspired in part by his earlier and avaricious readings of Keats, Shakespeare, Goethe, Sir Walter Scott, Byron, Edgar Allan Poe and, from 1847 onwards, the works of William Blake. 'The Germ' lasted however for only four issues, all published in 1850. In 1854 Rossetti met and gained an ally in the art critic John Ruskin and, two years later, meetings with Edward Burne-Jones and William Morris set a second phase of the Brotherhood into movement.

  • "Problem" MWF 2 Cross Listed with AADS4410 Satisfies Cultural Diversity Core Requirement in the Souls of Black Folk, W.E.B
    SPOTLIGHT ON ENGLISH ELECTIVES SPRING 2018 ENGL2482 African American Literature and the "Problem" MWF 2 Cross listed with AADS4410 Satisfies Cultural Diversity Core Requirement In The Souls of Black Folk, W.E.B. Du Bois famously observes that to be black is to serially confront a question: "How does it feel to be a problem?" This course undertakes a survey of African American Literature as an ongoing mediation on the "problem" of being black, from the advent of racial slavery through to its contemporary afterlives. Reading broadly across a black literary tradition spanning four centuries and multiple genres, we will consider how black writers represent the "problem" of being black not merely as an unwelcome condition to be overcome, but an ethical orientation to be embraced over against an anti-black world that is itself a problem. Jonathan Howard ENGL3331 Victorian Inequality MWF 11 Fulfills the pre-1900 requirement. From “Dickensian” workhouses to shady financiers, Victorian literature has provided touchstones for discussions of inequality today. This course will investigate how writers responded to the experience of inequality in Victorian Britain during an era of revolution and reaction, industrialization and urbanization, and empire building. Considering multiple axes of inequality, we will explore topics such as poverty and class conflict, social mobility, urbanization, gender, education, Empire, and labor. We will read novels, poetry, and nonfiction prose; authors include Alfred, Lord Tennyson; Elizabeth Gaskell; Charles Dickens; Elizabeth Barrett Browning; Mary Prince; Arthur Morrison; and Thomas Hardy.

  • CUL Keller Archive Catalogue
    HANS KELLER ARCHIVE: working copy A1: Unpublished manuscripts, 1940-49 A1/1: Unpublished manuscripts, 1940-49: independent work This section contains all Keller’s unpublished manuscripts dating from the 1940s, apart from those connected with his collaboration with Margaret Phillips (see A1/2 below). With the exception of one pocket diary from 1938, the Archive contains no material prior to his arrival in Britain at the end of that year. After his release from internment in 1941, Keller divided himself between musical and psychoanalytical studies. As a violinist, he gained the LRAM teacher’s diploma in April 1943, and was relatively active as an orchestral and chamber-music player. As a writer, however, his principal concern in the first half of the decade was not music, but psychoanalysis. Although the majority of the musical writings listed below are undated, those which are probably from this earlier period are all concerned with the psychology of music. Similarly, the short stories, poems and aphorisms show their author’s interest in psychology. Keller’s notes and reading-lists from this period indicate an exhaustive study of Freudian literature and, from his correspondence with Margaret Phillips, it appears that he did have thoughts of becoming a professional analyst. At he beginning of 1946, however, there was a decisive change in the focus of his work, when music began to replace psychology as his principal subject. It is possible that his first (accidental) hearing of Britten’s Peter Grimes played an important part in this change, and Britten’s music is the subject of several early articles.
