  • The Lily Pool, the Mirrors, and the Outsiders: Envisioning Home and England in Virginia Woolf's Between the Acts
    Concentric: Literary and Cultural Studies 38.1 March 2012: 249-275 The Lily Pool, the Mirrors, and the Outsiders: Envisioning Home and England in Virginia Woolf’s Between the Acts Ching-fang Tseng Department of English National Taiwan Normal University, Taiwan Abstract Written against the historical context of the threats of fascism and World War II, Between the Acts’s portrayal of rural England that highlights its traditional way of life, the everlasting rural landscape, and the pageant then in vogue seemingly echoes the prevailing national imagination during the war-crisis years. Rather than replicating the nostalgic ruralist vision of England on the verge of war, the novel not only furthers Woolf’s critique of the dictators in England in Three Guineas, but also enacts the essay’s visionary idea of the “Outsiders’ Society” in the setting of the English country. A prominent figure in Between the Acts is the cultivated observer in rural England, who is there to apprehend landscape as well as the universal evolutionary order. Encapsulating the ocularized social power of the ruling landowning class, he embodies Englishness and “civilization” as the apex of the developmental progress of humankind. Woolf responds to such Englishness by positing episodes in the novel involving La Trobe’s village pageant. The pageant invokes an “Outsiders’ Society” composed of heterogeneous, anonymous private spectators in resistance to the hegemonic perception of the gentry-audience, thus making the latter think home landscape, “Ourselves,” and civilization in a different light. At the same time, the “Outsiders’ Society” is also enacted through Between the Acts’s multi-layered, open-ended, and self-reflexive form, which disallows closure and totality of meaning and predominance of the authorial vision.

  • First Place Flash Fiction, Grades 7-8 Lily Wissler the Ten O'clock News
    First Place Flash Fiction, Grades 7-8 Lily Wissler The Ten O’clock News Jane Matthers felt her traitorous lips lift into a smile, though she did not let it drop right away. Swishing around the remainder of the drink in front of her, Jane was leaning on her elbows, balancing on the edge of her bar stool. She was antsy for something, though she would never admit to what it was. That was a secret she’d take with her to the grave. If the undisclosed were an object, she would carry it between her painstakingly sanitized hands and clutch it in front of her carefully chosen cardigan. Jane had been a cautious child. Picking and pulling apart her every movement. Her words had always been so premeditated that she often found herself saying things that belonged to future conversations. The quality showed now as she shushed her hiccupy-giggles with an ease that had been practiced for years. Jane recounted the evening’s events. The screams played over in her head like her own personal soundtrack. She had felt comfort in the stabbing and slashing. There was neatness to it like a freshly printed dictionary. Jane wasn’t as careful to withhold her giggles this time. She felt wise. She had taken care of everything, tied every loose end. What she hadn’t accounted for was the mess. Jane had to burn the cashmere sweater, but it was worth it. After the first spike of adrenaline, she knew it was worth it. With restless limbs, and soaring spirits, Jane watched the TVs before her.

  • WALL STREET in the AMERICAN NOVEL Wayne W. Westbrook A
    WALL STREET IN THE AMERICAN NOVEL Wayne W. Westbrook A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 1972 p © 1972 WAYNE WILLIAM WESTBROOK ALL RIGHTS RESERVED IH ABSTRACT Wall Street is construed to represent the American financial center, La Salle Street in Chicago, State StreetiinbBoston and Third Street in Philadelphia as well as New York's lower Manhattan district. The novels and stories considered are those in which the financial center serves a primary function, either in influencing plot, character or in providing the background and atmosphere for the main action, Both archetypal and textual analysis are applied in seeing the recurrent motifs in the novel of high finance, patterns and themes which are fully articulated and developed in the late nineteenth-century version, yet which are not found to bear an influence on later financial fiction. The reason for this is that the American literary artist has had a prejudicial view of high finance and speculation which is rooted in his cultural heritage of the Puritan opposition to playing or gaming as a way to wealth and success. The writer's attitude, therefore, is largely con­ demnatory, regarding an individual's involvement with the financial marketplace as a form of personal corruption, profligacy and degen­ eracy. Further, the idea of the sin and evil of Wall Street has as its probable historical source the volatile course that American finance has traced since the post-Civil War industrial age, in the highly cyclical and repetitive pattern of boom and bust periods.

  • Rosy L. the Move Once Upon a Time There Was a Little Girl Named Lily
    Rosy L. The Move Once upon a time there was a little girl named Lily Crow. Lily loved her family, school and her community, but Lily wanted to have a friend who would never leave. Although she had friends, none of them were true friends. One morning Lily and her family were in the kitchen. Her mother was cooking breakfast. Mr. Crow was already sitting at the table when Lily came in the kitchen. When her father saw her, he looked at her and smiled. It was that smile he had whenever he had something to tell her. But, he wouldn’t tell her what it was. He just smiled. “What do you have to tell me?” Lily asked. He looked at Lily’s mother than back at Lily and said, “We are going to move to another place.” Lily didn’t look very happy when she heard the news about living somewhere else. “I hope you like it,” he said pleadingly. Lily was shy, so she knew it was going to be hard for her to be in a new home and a new school. She wondered how a shy girl like her would find new friends. Her parents kept trying to reassure her by saying, “Don’t worry.” or “Everything will be perfectly fine.” But none of this stopped her from worrying. It is time to move to a new home. They packed all of their stuff and are ready to go. Something was wrong. Lilly still wasn’t packing because she didn’t want to go. The next day she would go to a new school and meet a lot of new people, but she was not ready to try to make new friends yet.

  • Negotiating Femininity As Spectacle Within the Victorian Cultural Sphere
    CRACKED MIRRORS AND PETRIFYING VISION: NEGOTIATING FEMININITY AS SPECTACLE WITHIN THE VICTORIAN CULTURAL SPHERE by LUCINDA IRESON A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of English College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham November 2013 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ABSTRACT Taking as it basis the longstanding alignment of men with an active, eroticised gaze and women with visual spectacle within Western culture, this thesis demonstrates the prevalence of this model during the Victorian era, adopting an interdisciplinary approach so as to convey the varied means by which the gendering of vision was propagated and encouraged. Chapter One provides an overview of gender and visual politics in the Victorian age, subsequently analysing a selection of texts that highlight this gendered dichotomy of vision. Chapter Two focuses on the theoretical and developmental underpinnings of this dichotomy, drawing upon both Freudian and object relations theory. Chapters Three and Four centre on women’s poetic responses to this imbalance, beginning by discussing texts that convey awareness and discontent before moving on to examine more complex portrayals of psychological trauma.
