The sounds of music, 14 dancing, people talking and laughing echoed inside the jailhouse. The 15 blue-A​­eyed kid with a busted lip and bruised face sat on his cell bunk sharpen- 16 ing a spoon handle to a point. He wore a huge sombrero and a short- ​­waisted 17 Mexican jacket. He favored the Mexican culture over the American way of 18 living, but he was no Mexican. 19 Ever since he was on his own, he’d spent most of his time drifting from 20 town to town along the border. He preferred the Mexican people. Especially 21 the señoritas, and the señoritas took a liking to him as well. He was fond 22 of the Mexicans’ food and Mexicans’ drinks too— ​­mescal was his favorite. 23 And he spoke the Spanish language well, or well enough to get what he 24 wanted. 25 When he was in one place long enough and feeling generous, he would wire 26 or write a letter to the old man. The old man was the only person the kid had 27 any tether to on the earth. The kid was never sure how he ended up with the 28 old man, who the old man even was, or where he came from. The kid had a 29 vague memory of moving from one family to another as a child. Until one day, 30 when the kid could put on his own breeches, an old man came and took him 31 away. The old man took him to the mountains and put him to work. S32 The whistling sound of fireworks interrupted the waltz that played in the N33 1 9780735218277_Robert_TX.indd x 12/21/18 10:45 AM 9780735218277_Robert_TX.indd 1 12/21/18 10:45 AM ROBERT KNOTT 01 plaza. The kid sprang up and stood atop his bunk. He could see through the 02 bars of the cell window the tail end of the skyward firework, then it exploded 03 and brightened the night sky. 04 “Hot damn,” he said. “Hot damn.” 05 Another one launched and exploded. 06 “Damn. I was sure looking forward to this here celebration. I sure was.” 07 “I told you to shut up before I come in there and shut you up for good,” the 08 jailer said. “Shut your mouth.” 09 The kid laughed. 10 “Like to see you try. Like to see you try. I no more than get to town here 11 yesterday, and what happens? You lock me up and for no reason. No reason 12 at all. Two big’ens like you and your soldier-​­blue buddy slapping me around. 13 You should be ashamed. ‘Sides, I was leaving tomorrow. I got to be someplace 14 soon. I told you that. Didn’t I? I have someplace to be, ya see?” 15 More fireworks lit up the sky, one after another after another. A large 16 pinwheel was lit, spewing sparks that cast a bright glow on the kid’s boyish 17 face. He beamed like a child, watching in awe. 18 “You oughta see this. Boy, oh, boy.” 19 He watched, wishing he was part of the fireworks and festivities taking 20 place on the town’s plaza. The band ended the slow waltz and started up with 21 a lively tune that brought hoots and hollers from the crowd. 22 “I should be out there among ’em. Not in here, out there. How about let- 23 ting me out? I should be out there.” 24 “I told you to shut your mouth.” 25 “I should.” 26 He watched for a minute, then said, “Lands alive, food smells good out 27 there. Don’t it? I’m hungry as a bear. If you won’t let me out, why don’t you 28 go out? You should go out, dance and have some fun. Get something to eat 29 and bring me back something, too. No reason to sit in here with lil’ ol’ 30 me. Hell, what am I gonna do? Nothing. That is damn sure plain to see. 31 Nothing.” 32S The jailer was fuming but didn’t glance up from the newspaper he was 33N reading as the kid continued. 2 9780735218277_Robert_TX.indd 2 12/21/18 10:45 AM BUCKSKIN “You know as well as me that it doesn’t make good sense, me being in here 01 and all.

Chapel Hill 2016 Approved by: Inger S. B. Brodey Todd Ramón Ochoa Marsha S. Collins Tanya L. Shields Madeline G. Levine © 2016 Donato Fhunsu ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Donato Fhunsu: The Kongo Rule: The Palo Monte Mayombe Wisdom Society (Reglas de Congo: Palo Monte Mayombe) A Book by Lydia Cabrera An English Translation from the Spanish (Under the direction of Inger S. B. Brodey and Todd Ramón Ochoa) This dissertation is a critical analysis and annotated translation, from Spanish into English, of the book Reglas de Congo: Palo Monte Mayombe, by the Cuban anthropologist, artist, and writer Lydia Cabrera (1899-1991). Cabrera’s text is a hybrid ethnographic book of religion, slave narratives (oral history), and folklore (songs, poetry) that she devoted to a group of Afro-Cubans known as “los Congos de Cuba,” descendants of the Africans who were brought to the Caribbean island of Cuba during the trans-Atlantic Ocean African slave trade from the former Kongo Kingdom, which occupied the present-day southwestern part of Congo-Kinshasa, Congo-Brazzaville, Cabinda, and northern Angola. The Kongo Kingdom had formal contact with Christianity through the Kingdom of Portugal as early as the 1490s.

  • Soteriology in Edmund Spenser's 'The Faerie Queene'
    SOTERIOLOGY IN EDMUND SPENSER’S THE FAERIE QUEENE by STUART ANTHONY HART A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of English Literature School of English, Drama and American and Canadian Studies College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham March 2018 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 The thesis demonstrates the extent to which the sixteenth-century allegorical epic poem, The Faerie Queene, engages with early modern theories of salvation. Much has been written about Spenser’s consideration of theological ideas in Book I and this has prompted scholars to speculate about the poet’s own doctrinal inclinations. However, little has been written about the ways in which the remaining books in the poem also explore Christian ideas of atonement, grace and damnation. This study advances Spenserian scholarship by stressing the soteriological dimension of books II, III, IV and VI. It considers how the poem’s doctrinal ambiguity would have meant that Spenser’s readers would have been able to interpret the poem in terms of the different schools of thought on the conditionality, or otherwise, of election and reprobation.

  • We've Been All Over out Here. Virgil Gets Hired to Settle Things Down in Towns That Need Settling, and I Go with Him.
    We’ve been all over out here. Virgil gets hired to settle things down in towns that need settling, and I go with him. -- Everett Hitch Oscar nominee Viggo Mortensen (“Eastern Promises”), four-time Oscar nominee Ed Harris (“Pollock”), Academy Award winner Renée Zellweger (“Cold Mountain”) and Academy Award winner Jeremy Irons (“Reversal of Fortune”) star in the Western “Appaloosa,” adapted from the Robert B. Parker novel. Set in 1882 in the Old West territory of New Mexico, “Appaloosa” revolves around city marshal Virgil Cole (Harris) and his deputy and partner Everett Hitch (Mortensen), who have made their reputation as peacekeepers in the lawless towns springing up in the untamed land. In the small mining community of Appaloosa, a ruthless, powerful rancher named Randall Bragg (Irons) has allowed his band of outlaws to run roughshod over the town. After the cold-blooded murder of Appaloosa’s city marshal, Cole and Hitch are hired to bring the murderer to justice. While establishing new authority with equal parts grit and guns, Cole and Hitch meet provocative newcomer Allison French (Zellweger), whose unconventional ways threaten to undermine their progress and to destroy the two lawmen’s decade-old partnership. New Line Cinema presents in association with Axon Films, a Groundswell Production of an Ed Harris film, “Appaloosa,” starring Viggo Mortensen, Ed Harris, Renée Zellweger, Jeremy Irons, Timothy Spall and Lance Henriksen. The film was directed by Ed Harris from a screenplay by Robert Knott & Ed Harris, based on the novel by Robert B. Parker. Harris, Knott and Ginger Sledge produced the film, with Michael London, Cotty Chubb, Toby Emmerich and Sam Brown serving as executive producers.
