Spiritual Shakespeares 1111 2 3 4 5111 ACCENTS ON SHAKESPEARE 6 7111 General Editor: TERENCE HAWKES 8 9 1011 1 Spiritual Shakespeares 2 3111 4 5 6111 There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are 7 dreamt of in secular materialism, theology, or contemporary theory. 8 That at least is what the present collection sets out so suggestively to show. 9 John D. Caputo (from the Foreword) 20111 Readers will find here an engagement with both Shakespeare and 1 spirituality which is intelligent, original, and challengingly optimistic, 2 one which surely succeeds in its wish to ‘reinvigorate and strengthen 3 politically progressive materialist criticism’. 4 Jonathan Dollimore (from the Afterword) 5 Spiritual Shakespeares is the first book to explore the scope for reading 6 Shakespeare spiritually in the light of contemporary theory and current 7 world events. Ewan Fernie has brought together an exciting cast of critics 8 in order to respond to the ‘religious turn’ in recent thought and to the spiritualised politics of terrorism and the ‘War on Terror’. 9 Opening a genuinely new perspective within Shakespeare Studies, this 30111 volume suggests that experiencing the spiritual intensities of the plays 1 could lead us back to dramatic intensity as such. It tests spirituality from 2 a political perspective, as well as subjecting politics to an unusual spiritual 3 critique. Among its controversial and provocative arguments is the idea that a consideration of spirituality might point the way forward for 4 materialist criticism. 5 Spiritual Shakespeares reaches across and beyond literary studies with 6 challenging, powerful contributions from Philippa Berry, John D. Caputo, 7 Jonathan Dollimore, Ewan Fernie, Lisa Freinkel, Lowell Gallagher, 8 John J. Joughin, Richard Kearney, David Ruiter and Kiernan Ryan. 9 Ewan Fernie is Senior Lecturer in English at Royal Holloway, 40111 University of London, and the author of Shame in Shakespeare (Routledge, 4111 2002). 1111 ACCENTS ON SHAKESPEARE 2 3 General Editor: TERENCE HAWKES 4 5111 6 17 8 It is more than twenty years since the New Accents series helped to 9 establish ‘theory’ as a fundamental and continuing feature of the study 1011 of literature at the undergraduate level. Since then, the need for short, powerful ‘cutting edge’ accounts of and comments on new developments 1 has increased sharply. In the case of Shakespeare, books with this sort 2 of focus have not been readily available. Accents on Shakespeare 3111 aims to supply them. 4 Accents on Shakespeare volumes will either ‘apply’ theory, or 5 broaden and adapt it in order to connect with concrete teaching con- cerns. In the process, they will also reflect and engage with the major 6 developments in Shakespeare studies of the last ten years. 7 The series will lead as well as follow. In pursuit of this goal it will be 8 a two-tiered series. In addition to affordable, ‘adoptable’ titles aimed at 19 modular undergraduate courses, it will include a number of research- 20111 based books. Spirited and committed, these second-tier volumes advocate radical change rather than stolidly reinforcing the status quo. 1 2 IN THE SAME SERIES 3 Shakespeare and Appropriation Shakespeare and Feminist 4 Edited by Christy Desmet Performance: Ideology on Stage 5 and Robert Sawyer Sarah Werner 6 Shakespeare Without Women Shame in Shakespeare 7 Dympna Callaghan Ewan Fernie 8 Philosophical Shakespeares The Sound of Shakespeare 9 Edited by John J.

Per- haps this is true merely because of the impor~ance which the Romantic School places upon the genius of the subj~ct, for all schools of criti- cism recognize Shakespeare's ability at creating effective drama. A more accurate answer, however, probably lies in the fact that "romanti- cism" has a broad base and encompasses so very much.

    Reviews of Books DIARY OF SIR ARCHIBALD JOHNSTON OF WARISTON. Vol. II. 1650- 1654. Edited from the Original Manuscript, with Notes and Intro- duction David LL.D. 8vo. by Hay Fleming, Pp. lii, 336. Demy Edinburgh : Scottish History Society. 1919. THIS is the third instalment of the Diary of Lord Wariston to be edited by the Scottish History Society. A fragment, belonging to the period from May 1639 to August 1640, was printed in a miscellaneous volume for the years 1896-97, and a more substantial portion, dealing with the years 1632-1634 and 1637-1639, was edited by Sir G. M. Paul in 1911. The present volume, covering (with gaps) the period from 1640 to 1654 ' s printed from MSS. known to exist when Sir George Paul's volume was being prepared, but, in the interval, the Society has made an unfor- tunate alteration in the appearance of its publications, and the subscriber is irritated by possessing Vol. I. of the Diary in the familiar blue binding and Vol. II. in the red of the second series, and is left to speculate what a third volume will be like should the Council decide (as we hope it will) that the rest of the MS. is worth printing. We cannot understand why there should have been, or should be, any hesitation about printing the whole Diary, subject to such wise discretion * as the editor of this volume has exercised. Will any human soul ever ' again love poor Wariston, and take pious pains with him in this world ? asked Carlyle. Dr.

ABSTRACT This thesis attempts a reading of Revenge Tragedy using concepts found in Psychoanalytic theory to explore the idea of identity formation. Revenge tragedy was a popular form of drama in the Jacobean period, although the first revenge play, The Spanish Tragedy was written before the end of the sixteenth century. Revenge tragedies feature an individual who takes private action for a crime committed against a loved one, usually because he/she is denied legitimate justice. This type of drama is said to reflect the anxieties of its age, one of which is the question of identity.

  • 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.

  • Avoiding Spiritual Bypass in 12-Step Work By
    Step by Step: Avoiding Spiritual Bypass in 12-Step Work By: Craig S. Cashwell, Philip B. Clarke, and Elizabeth G. Graves Cashwell, C. S., Clarke, P. B., & Graves, E. G. (2009). Step by step: Avoiding spiritual bypass in 12-step work. Journal of Addictions and Offender Counseling, 30, 37-48. Reprinted from Journal of Addictions and Offender Counseling, Vol. 30, pp. 37-48. © 2009 The American Counseling Association. Reprinted with permission. No further reproduction authorized without written permission from the American Counseling Association: http://www.counseling.org Abstract: With spirituality as a cornerstone, 12-step groups serve a vital role in the recovery community. It is important for counselors to be mindful, however, of the potential for clients to be in spiritual bypass, which likely will undermine the recovery process. Individuals who struggle with substance and process addictions often participate in 12-step groups as an adjunct to the therapeutic process or in lieu of formal treatment (Knack, 2009). In fact, empirical evidence suggests that well over 50% of those who receive formal treatment for alcohol or other illicit psychoactive substances participate in some form of self-help groups, with the majority of these in groups such as Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA), predicated on the 12-step model (Magura, 2007). As many as 5 million people in the United States are believed to have attended an alcohol- or drug-related self-help group over a 2-year period (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, Office of Applied Studies, 2008). Furthermore, referrals to self-help groups are a commonly recommended adjunct to the therapeutic process (American Psychiatric Association, 1995), and, in many instances, researchers have found that attendance in 12-step groups enhances therapeutic benefits and supports sobriety (Gossop, Stewart, & Marsden, 2008; Moos & Timko, 2008).

Reedy Woodring All rights reserved. Professor Stephen Greenblatt Catherine L. Reedy Woodring “Revenge should have no bounds”: Poison and Revenge in Seventeenth Century English Drama Abstract The revenge- and poison- filled tragedies of seventeenth century England astound audiences with their language of contagion and disease. Understanding poison as the force behind epidemic disease, this dissertation considers the often-overlooked connections between stage revenge and poison. Poison was not only a material substance bought from a foreign market. It was the subject of countless revisions and debates in early modern England. Above all, writers argued about poison’s role in the most harrowing epidemic disease of the period, the pestilence, as both the cause and possible cure of this seemingly contagious disease.
