  • Koel Chatterjee Phd Thesis
    Bollywood Shakespeares from Gulzar to Bhardwaj: Adapting, Assimilating and Culturalizing the Bard Koel Chatterjee PhD Thesis 10 October, 2017 I, Koel Chatterjee, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: Date: 10th October, 2017 Acknowledgements This thesis would not have been possible without the patience and guidance of my supervisor Dr Deana Rankin. Without her ability to keep me focused despite my never-ending projects and her continuous support during my many illnesses throughout these last five years, this thesis would still be a work in progress. I would also like to thank Dr. Ewan Fernie who inspired me to work on Shakespeare and Bollywood during my MA at Royal Holloway and Dr. Christie Carson who encouraged me to pursue a PhD after six years of being away from academia, as well as Poonam Trivedi, whose work on Filmi Shakespeares inspired my research. I thank Dr. Varsha Panjwani for mentoring me through the last three years, for the words of encouragement and support every time I doubted myself, and for the stimulating discussions that helped shape this thesis. Last but not the least, I thank my family: my grandfather Dr Somesh Chandra Bhattacharya, who made it possible for me to follow my dreams; my mother Manasi Chatterjee, who taught me to work harder when the going got tough; my sister, Payel Chatterjee, for forcing me to watch countless terrible Bollywood films; and my father, Bidyut Behari Chatterjee, whose impromptu recitations of Shakespeare to underline a thought or an emotion have led me inevitably to becoming a Shakespeare scholar.

"OBERON'S HENCHMAN; OR, THE LEGEND OF THE THREE SISTERS" BY MATTHEW GREGORY LEWIS: A CRITICAL EDITION by ERIN WADDELL (Under the Direction of Douglass H. Thomson) ABSTRACT This thesis provides a critical edition of M.G. Lewis’s “Oberon’s Henchman” with an introduction to the text that recontextualizes the poem within its historical milieu. The introduction also presents a critical reading of the text, arguing that Lewis’s pastiche is a carefully orchestrated, respectfully playful synthesis of source material which redefines the nature of the spirit world on his own terms. In addition to this background and critical information, this edition provides tools for the reader’s comprehension and analysis of the poem: a character guide, synopses presented both chronologically and in order of occurrence within the ballad, extensive notes and glosses to guide and enhance the reader’s understanding, and appendices to supplement the reading.

  • Abe Lincoln and the Cosmic Rays
    - 1 - ABE LINCOLN AND THE COSMIC RAYS August 11, 1947 By George H. Honig Rockport, Indiana THE HOOSIER STUDENT IN SPENCER COUNTY Before Illinois took Abe Lincoln out of Indiana, he had explored to some extent that kind of energy called “cosmic ray”. His talks with friends and discussions at home with John Hanks and Dennis Hanks around his father’s fireside reveals the pioneer mind was interested in the supernatural and invisible forces of energy. This mystical influence was of the simple, understanding kind-- one that the Spencer County pioneer mind could grasp. At that time, 1816 to 1830, it is not likely Abe Lincoln ever heard or read the words “cosmic rays”. Scientists had not yet popularized those words--it was not a common expression. What difference does it make to inhale the perfume of a rose under another name? It still would smell as sweet as a rose. Abe did read about magnetic influence in nature. He had often observed the crash of great thunderbolts and fiery flashes of lightning. He had read about Benjamin Franklin’s success in capturing electricity with a kite and storing it in a bottle. All of this was duly discussed, pro and con, but Abe had his own original expression for it. The sun and the moon came in for further arguments among the Lincoln relatives in the home of their family circle. Hence, when Abe ventured out to talk with some of the best minds in Spencer County, he knew exactly what he was going to say and how he would say it.

BY HENRY WILLIAM HERBERT AUTHOR OF "CROMWELL," "MARMADUKE WYVIL," "BROTHERS," ETC. iii Why not a Borgia or a Catiline?—POPE. iv The Roman Traitor (Vol. 2 of 2) VOLUME II. This is one of the most powerful Roman stories in the English language, and is of itself sufficient to stamp the writer as a powerful man. The dark intrigues of the days which Cæsar, Sallust and Cicero made illustrious; when Cataline defied and almost defeated the Senate; when the plots which ultimately overthrew the Roman Republic were being formed, are described in a masterly manner. The book deserves a permanent position by the side of the great Bellum Catalinarium of Sallust, and if we mistake not will not fail to occupy a prominent place among those produced in America.

  • Narcissa Or the Road to Rome
    Narcissa or the Road to Rome By Laura E. Richards NARCISSA OR THE ROAD TO ROME Part I DREAMING. Narcissa was sitting in the doorway, feeding the young turkeys. It was the back door of the old gray house,—no one would have thought of sitting in the front doorway,—and there were crooked flagstones leading up to it, cracked and seamed, with grass growing in the cracks. Close by the door-post, against which the girl was leaning, stood a great bush of tansy, with waving feathery leaves and yellow blossoms, like small gold buttons. Narcissa was very fond of this tansy-bush, and liked to pluck a leaf and crush it in her hands, to bring out the keen, wholesome smell. She had one in her hand now, and was wondering if ever any one had a dress of green velvet, tansy-color, with gold buttons. The minister's wife once had a bow of green velvet on her black straw bonnet, and Narcissa had loved to look at it, and to wish it were somewhere else, with things that belonged to it. She often thought of splendid clothes, though she had never seen anything finer than the black silk of the minister's wife, and that always made her think of a newly-blacked stove. When she was younger, she had made a romance about every scrap of silk or satin in the crazy-quilt that Aunt Pinker's daughter, the milliner, had sent her one Christmas. The gown she had had out of that yellow satin—it did her good to think about it even now!—and there was a scrap of pale pink silk which came— was it really nothing but fancy?—from a long, trailing robe, trimmed with filmy lace (the lace in the story-papers was always filmy), in which she had passed many happy, dreamy hours.
