Us EXPLANATION and PROVENANCE COLLECTION NAME : O'Sbaughnessy papers. 2ll Page 1 CENTRAL FIGURE: O'Shaughnessy, Arthur William Edgar, 184ll-1881 , poet and litterateur. DATES COVERED : 1832- 1906 or later; bulk in 1870s. DATE WRI TTEN : 1832- 1906 or later PLACE: Great Britain LANGUAGE: English France French us TYPE: Unbound collection of letters received by O'S ; also other letters; literary texts by O'S and others ; some sketches in letters, and photographs. Primarily literary and artistic gossip. EXPLANATION AND PROVENANCE : John Westland Marston (1819- 1890) was a blank- verse dramatist moving in London literary circles. His daughter Eleanor Marston (d. 1879) appears to have kept an album of letters received by Marston from notable English, French , and American authors and actors. In 1873 Eleanor married A.W.E. 0 1Shaughnessy, who worked for the British Museum of Natural History under the protection of the novelist Bulwer- Lytton (Baron Lytton) : O' S's maternal aunt was Lytton's mistress. O'S moved in London and Parisian literary and artistic circles, and Eleanor seems to have added his incoming corr espondence to her album. After O'S's death in 1881 , his cousin and literary executor Alfred W. Newport Deacon (1847- 1915) seems to have added letters addressed to himself (some concerning O'S, some not) , and 3 letters by O' S. He annotated some of the letters and some of the album sheets with identifications. By the time the Department acquired the contents of the album from Maggs in 1956 it had been disbound and the letters cut out (many still show signs of having been mounted on-coloured paper) . Most annotations were lost in this process; and the album may have contained more (or less) than the present collection. Ca 1962 the Department bought and added 1 letter by O'S. In 1963 we added from the O'Hegarty acquisition the literary texts by O'S; in 1989 we added from the Paden acquisition lJ letters by O' S and a contract. We will continue adding to the collection.

  • MA Thesis Final Draft
    “YOUR WISH IS MY COMMAND” AND OTHER FICTIONS: RELUCTANT POSSESSIONS IN RICHARD BURTON’S “ALADDIN” By Dan Fang Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Vanderbilt University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS in English August, 2011 Nashville, Tennessee Approved: Rachel Teukolsky Dana Nelson The Arabian Nights Entertainments is a work of fantasy, mystery, and the imagination. In it we find bewitching princesses, strange beasts, terrifying jinnis, and epic voyages; from it we draw stories and images that fill our culture with wonder. Since its introduction to the West by Antoine Galland in 1704, stories from the Nights have been rewritten and reworked into everything from children’s stories to operas, musicals to movies. Of all of the stories from the Nights—which consist of more than 400 that a clever girl, Scheherazade, tells to her husband the Sultan over a thousand and one nights in order to stay her execution—the stories of Aladdin and his magical lamp, Ali Baba and his forty thieves, and Sinbad and his seven voyages are arguably the most popular. And since the production of Disney’s 1992 animated feature film, “Aladdin” has become perhaps the most popular of the tales in Western culture. The popularity of “Aladdin” is not a late 20th Century phenomenon, however. Aside from versions of Scheherazade’s own story, “Aladdin” was the first to be incorporated into the British theater.1 Throughout the 19th and 20th Centuries, “Aladdin” has been incorporated into countless collections of children’s bedtime stories, picture books both cheaply accessible and gloriously exquisite, even into handbooks for English instruction in grammar schools.

Following their translation, their extensive influence upon Western literature became an established fact. However, though direct referencing to the tales prior to their translation is lacking, there is evidence to indicate they were widely received and circulated even before the time when the lengthy crusader wars and their accompanying intervals of peace opened a field of folkloric interaction between East and West. Through a historical analysis, this article examines the reception and impact of The Nights on European narrative, poetic, and dramatic productions before 1700 to highlight its significance as a cultural median and reveal how apparently disparate cultures share similarities in at least in one essential part of human development; the folkloric. Edward Said’s claim that “in general it was the West that moved upon the East, not vice versa” (73) is textually justified only during the period of British imperialism since one text had already made its way into Western folkloric tradition well before its translation. In the process, this article also draws attention to the tales’ neglect among the Arab literary tradition and, in so doing, exposes the political and religious institutionalization of literature.

Burton's Tales from 1001 Arabian Nights", under my supervision. To the best of my knowledge, it is Mr. Jamal's original work which is suitable for submission for the award of Ph.D degree. Professor A.R. Kidwai ACKNOWLEDGEMENT I owe a deep debt of gratitude to my teacher, Prof. Abdur Raheem Kidwai, without whose supervision this work would not have seen the Ught of the day. I am indebted to him not only for being my vigilant supervisor of this thesis, but also owing to the fact that whenever I encroached upon his valuable time, he helped me with his scholarly criticism and constructive suggestions. Despite his engagements, he was kind enough to scrutinize the entire work. For an Arab student like me, who came from a place where English is used only as a foreign lagugage, it was quite a task for me to embark upon a doctoral research. 1 am fortunate enough to have completed my Ph.D. under his superb supervision.
