! 1! “Hospitality to Words”: Laura Riding’s American Inheritance and Inheritors Philip John Lansdell Rowland Royal Holloway, University of London Submitted for the Degree of PhD ! 3! Abstract This thesis situates the work of Laura Riding in an American tradition of “hospitality to words” extending from Emerson and Emily Dickinson through Gertrude Stein to John Ashbery and contemporary language-oriented writing. The theme is introduced in terms of her linguistic and spiritual ideal of home as a place of truthful speaking, related in turn to her identity as an American writer who renounced the craft of poetry in mid-career. First, Riding’s poetry is “hospitable” in ways akin to Dickinson’s, broadly characterized by Riding’s term, “linguistic intimateness.” There are similarities in their word-conjunctions and styles of poetic argument, as well as their ideas of poetry as “house of possibility” and spiritual home. Riding’s work is then compared with that of her older friend of the late 1920s, Gertrude Stein. The chapter details the shift in Riding’s critical view of Stein; then focuses on the similarly “homely” characteristics of their prose writing and poetics, with particular reference made to Riding’s “Steinian” poems. The central chapters clarify Riding’s conception of truth and related questions of authority, history and responsibility. Chapter 4 explains her poetic vision of “the end of the world” as the introduction to a new world and potentially a new home, and chapter 5 extends the account to include her post-poetic work, The Telling compared to her earlier, collaborative The World and Ourselves. -
WINTER 2018 Rainer Maria Rilke Poems from the Book of Hours
Alexander Kluge Temple of the Scapegoat: Opera Stories • Translated from the German by Isabel Cole and Donna Stonecipher • With photographs Revolving around the opera, these tales are an “archaeological excavation of the slag-heaps of our collective existence” (W. G. Sebald) Combining fact and fiction, each of the one hundred and two tales of Al- exander Kluge’s Temple of the Scapegoat (dotted with photos of famous PBK NDP 1395 operas and their stars) compresses a lifetime of feeling and thought: Kluge is deeply engaged with the opera and an inventive wellspring of narrative FICTION JANUARY notions. The titles of his stories suggest his many turns of mind: “Total Com- mitment,” “Freedom,” “Reality Outrivals Theater,” “The Correct Slowing-Down 5 X 8" 288pp at the Transitional Point Between Terror and an Inkling of Freedom,” “A Crucial Character (Among Persons None of Whom Are Who They Think They Are),” ISBN 978-0-8112-2748-3 and “Deadly Vocal Power vs. Generosity in Opera.” An opera, Kluge says, is a blast furnace of the soul, telling of the great singer Leonard Warren who died EBK 978-0-8112-2749-0 onstage, having literally sung his heart out. Kluge introduces a Tibetan scholar who realizes that opera “is about comprehension and passion. The two never 36 CQ TERRITORY W go together. Passion overwhelms comprehension. Comprehension kills pas- sion. This appears to be the essence of all operas, says Huang Tse-we: she US $18.95 CAN $24.95 also comes to understand that female roles face the harshest fates. Compared to the mass of soprano victims (out of 86,000 operas, 64,000 end with the death of the soprano), the sacrifice of tenors is small (out of 86,000 operas ALSO BY ALEXANDER KLUGE: 1,143 tenors are a write-off).” CINEMA STORIES “Alexander Kluge, that most enlightened of writers.” –W. -
Harry Mathews Interview Final
loggernaut reading series – summer 2012 Harry Mathews: A Meal Should Last Forever Harry Mathews has written some of the most formally inventive, and perversely moving, American fiction and poetry of the last 50 years. As the American standard-bearer for the otherwise predominantly European OuLiPo, his influence can be felt throughout the cultural sphere. He splits his time between France and Key West, where we conducted this interview last April. Mathews has increasingly seemed to me a sage arbiter not only of all things literary, but also of living well. It made sense, therefore, to ask him a few questions about food and wine and their relationship to literature, all of which I have enjoyed heartily in his presence. This conversation between Mathews, the Key-West-based poet and publisher Arlo Haskell, and myself took place over dinner at the erstwhile Key West Italian restaurant Antonia's. We were joined by Marie Chaix, Mathews's wife, and Ashley Kamen, who by the time you read this will have become Haskell's. -Stuart Krimko Harry Mathews: Is the recorder on now? Arlo Haskell: It is, but we'll pretend like it's not. HM: You've already asked me an extremely recordable question. Stuart Krimko: It was really just an appetizer question. I'd asked you whether anyone had asked you in particular about the ways in which food and wine play into your work. HM: One basic thing is that I don't drink whiskey. I love it, but I don't drink it so much anymore. T.S. Eliot said that he often had a glass or two of whiskey to get the creative juices flowing, which was amazing, coming from him, and quite understandable. -

Both Martin Heidegger and Jean Paul Sartre, for example, perceive that nothing is part-and-parcel of (man’s) being. The present study adopts a similar position concerning nothing and its essential relationship to being, but adds a third element: that of writing narrative. This relationship between nothing and narrative is, I argue, established in the writings of Friedrich Nietzsche, Mikhail Bakhtin, Jacques Derrida, and Julia Kristeva. As Heidegger and Sartre position nothing as essential to the creation of being, so Nietzsche, Bakhtin, Derrida, and Kristeva figure nothing as essential to the production of narrative. -

Jelica Stojanović THE DEVELOPMENT PATH OF THE SERBIAN LANGUAGE AND SCRIPT Podgorica 2020 MILOš KOVAčEVIć THE DEVELOPMENT PATH OF THE SERBIAN LANGUAGE AND SCRIPT, MADE UP OF STRAY PATHS Only two years have passed from the two hundredth anni- versary of the beginning of Vuk Karadžić’s struggle for “intro- ducing the folk language in literature”, that is to say, from the introduction of the Serbian folk language in the Serbian literary language, or to put it in the more modern phrasing of today: the standard language. The beginning of that struggle is connected to the year 1814, when, in the royal city of Vienna, Vuk’s first grammar book came out: The Orthography of the Serbian Lan- guage Based on the Speech of the Common Folk, which dealt with resolving the three most important standard-related issues: a) the issue of the Serbian orthography, b) the issue of the morpho- logical structure of the Serbian language, and c) the issue of the name of the language and its national boundaries. Rare are the languages, if, indeed, there are any, which have had such a turbulent history of two hundred years. The histor- ical development of a language can be followed at two histor- ical levels: that of its internal and that of its external history. -
