  • James Joyce Estate Finally Gives Kate Bush Permission to Use Molly
    James Joyce Estate finally gives Kate Bush Permission to use Molly Bloom soliloquy Kluwer Copyright Blog April 18, 2011 Guido Westkamp (Centre for Commercial Law Studies at Queen Mary, University of London) Please refer to this post as:Guido Westkamp, ‘James Joyce Estate finally gives Kate Bush Permission to use Molly Bloom soliloquy’, Kluwer Copyright Blog, April 18 2011, http://copyrightblog.kluweriplaw.com/2011/04/18/james-joyce-estate-finally-gives-kate-bush-permission-to-us e-molly-bloom-soliloquy/ By Luke McDongagh, PhD Candidate, QMIPRI The Irish Times has recently reported that the Joyce estate has, after many years of refusal, finally granted the English singer Kate Bush permission to use the famous Molly Bloom soliloquy from James Joyce’s seminal novel Ulysses as the lyrical basis for a song. The soliloquy, spoken at the end of the novel by Molly Bloom, the wife of the main character Leopold Bloom, is famous for including one of the longest sentences in the English literature (over 4000 words). Kate Bush was refused permission to use the extract in the original version of her album The Sensual World in 1989. The decision is notable due to the previous unwillingness of the Joyce estate to allow such adaptations of Joycean text. for instance, in 2006, a Stanford Professor, Carol Schloss, was forced to sue the Joyce estate in order to use parts of Joyce’s writings in an academic biography of Joyce’s daughter Lucia. The case was eventually settled with the Joyce estate agreeing to pay Schloss’ costs. It is notable that James Joyce, who died in 1941, used many “appropriations” in the creation of Ulysses; in fact the entire plot of the novel is based on Homer’s Odyssey.

Signed: Name of student: Student number: Severens 2 Abstract Kate Bush remains one of the most successful and original British female music artists and is often perceived as a female pioneer. This thesis analyses a selection of her earlier work in order to establish how she represents issues of gender and sexuality in her lyrics and performances. Her work is evaluated through the lens of two feminist theories: écriture feminine and gender performativity. Écriture féminine is employed to determine how Bush writes and reclaims female sexuality, while gender performativity subsequently shows how she transcends her position as a woman by taking on and representing characters of the opposite gender. This thesis argues that Bush constructs narratives in her lyrics to represent experiences which transcend the boundaries of binary gender and challenge social sexual norms.

XXVIII, 91-101 LANGSTON HUGHES’S SPANISH CIVIL WAR VERSE Luis Gustavo Girón Echevarría Universidad de Extremadura Resumen El artículo se centra en seis poemas del escritor afroamericano Langston Hughes, in- pirados en la Guerra Civil española. La estancia de Hughes durante seis meses en España como corresponsal de guerra para los periódicos afroamericanos catalizó su sensibilidad poética, fruto de la cual son algunos de sus poemas de protesta social más amargos. Uti- lizando su pluma como arma, Hughes refleja en estos poemas vehementes y sonoros la inmediatez de la guerra y la intensidad de las emociones que suscitó. Palabras clave: Langston Hughes, literatura norteamericana, Guerra Civil española, poesía. Abstract This paper focuses on six poems written by the African American writer Langston Hughes inspired by the Spanish Civil War. Hughes’s six-month stay in Spain as a war correspondent for the Afro-American newspapers also catalyzed his poetic sensibility, thus writing some of his most bitter poems of social protest. Taking arms with his pen, Hughes captures in these passionate and vibrant poems the immediacy of the war and the intensity of emotions it elicited. Keywords: Langston Hughes, American Literature, Spanish Civil War, Poetry. This paper intends to analyze six poems written by the African American poet Langston Hughes inspired by the Spanish Civil War which have received little scholarly attention1. Although Hughes’s literary reputation does not For a discussion of American poets writing on the Spanish Civil War, see, among others, Mary Rosenthal, Poetry of the Spanish Civil War (New York, New York University Press, 1975), and «American Poets and the Spanish Civil War», Anglo-American Studies, vii, 1 (April 1987), págs.
