  • In Nineteenth-Century American Theatre: the Image
    Burlesquing “Otherness” 101 Burlesquing “Otherness” in Nineteenth-Century American Theatre: The Image of the Indian in John Brougham’s Met-a-mora; or, The Last of the Pollywogs (1847) and Po-Ca-Hon-Tas; or, The Gentle Savage (1855). Zoe Detsi-Diamanti When John Brougham’s Indian burlesque, Met-a-mora; or, The Last of the Pollywogs, opened in Boston at Brougham’s Adelphi Theatre on November 29, 1847, it won the lasting reputation of an exceptional satiric force in the American theatre for its author, while, at the same time, signaled the end of the serious Indian dramas that were so popular during the 1820s and 1830s. Eight years later, in 1855, Brougham made a most spectacular comeback with another Indian burlesque, Po-Ca-Hon-Tas; or, The Gentle Savage, an “Original, Aboriginal, Erratic, Operatic, Semi-Civilized, and Demi-savage Extravaganza,” which was produced at Wallack’s Lyceum Theatre in New York City.1 Both plays have been invariably cited as successful parodies of Augustus Stone’s Metamora; or, The Last of the Wampanoags (1829) and the stilted acting style of Edwin Forrest, and the Pocahontas plays of the first half of the nineteenth century. They are sig- nificant because they opened up new possibilities for the development of satiric comedy in America2 and substantially contributed to the transformation of the stage picture of the Indian from the romantic pattern of Arcadian innocence to a view far more satirical, even ridiculous. 0026-3079/2007/4803-101$2.50/0 American Studies, 48:3 (Fall 2007): 101-123 101 102 Zoe Detsi-Diamanti

  • Looking Glass Lore: Jeffrey Canton - Why Canadian Writers Love Emily of New Moon ! Looking Glass Lore
    The Looking Glass : New Perspectives on Children’s Literature - !17 - Vol 2, No 3 (1998) Looking Glass Lore: Jeffrey Canton - Why Canadian Writers Love Emily of New Moon ! Looking Glass Lore Jeffrey Canton, editor ! Why Canadian Writers Love Emily of New Moon by Jeffery Canton ! One of the most interesting chapters in Arlene Perly Rae's Everybody's Favourites: Canadians Talk About Books That Changed Their Lives focuses on L.M. Montgomery's Emily trilogy -- Emily of New Moon (1923), Emily Climbs (1925) and Emily's Quest (1927). Adult novelists Alice Munro, Anne Shortall and Jane Urquhart, critic Val Ross, children's book writers Budge Wilson and Kit Pearson all eloquently describe the effect that these three books had on their subsequent careers as writers. In Writing Stories, Making Pictures: Biographies of 150 Canadian Children's Authors and Illustrators, Mary Alice Downie and Claire Mackay also testify to the influence of the Emily books. There is little doubt that L.M. Montgomery is the single most influential writer in the Canadian children's literature canon. Over and over again, children's and adult writers alike cite her 1908 classic, Anne of Green Gables and its sequels as well as books like The Blue Castle, Jane of Lantern Hill and The Story Girl. But it is the Emily books that seem to have had the most pervasive influence on contemporary Canadian writers. In Sheila Egoff's classic overview of Canadian children's literature, The Republic of Childhood, Anne of Green Gables is the only one of Montgomery's works included in Egoff's evaluation, and Anne herself receives only the most cursory of nods.

Б, 2015 – ФИЛОЛОГИЯ, PAISII HILENDARSKI UNIVERSITY OF PLOVDIV – BULGARIA RESEARCH PAPERS, VOL. 53, BOOK 1, PART В, 2015 – LANGUAGES AND LITERATURE SOME AMERICAN INFLUENCES IN 19th- AND 20th-CENTURY BULGARIAN LITERATURE Roberto Adinolfi Paisii Hilendarski University of Plovdiv In this paper I will talk about the reception of America and American literature in Bulgaria from the 19th century through till the mid 20th century. My paper does not aim at providing an exhaustive analysis of the subject; I will rather explore the way some American works were received, adapted and in some cases significantly altered by Bulgarian translators. The image of America in Bulgarian works will also be a focus. Key words: America, American literature, Bulgarian literature, Bulgarian schoolbooks, translations, remakes In this paper I will focus on some American influences in Bulgarian literature. The works I will focus on were written from the 19th to the first half of the 20th century. They include: Bulgarian translations of American works; works influenced by American literature; works that talk about America. The reason I have chosen to focus on such different periods is that in both epochs remakes of American works, which in my opinion are significant and worth to be mentioned, can be found. I do not aim at providing an exhaustive analysis. First of all, I will limit myself to the reception of North American literature and culture in Bulgarian; I do not aim at exploring either the relationships between Bulgaria and South American literatures 1 or the image of America in the works by contemporary writers.

  • View That Includes Their Perceptions of Time, in Which Their Own Future Is Naturally Hidden from Them
    Reading In and Out of Order: Living In and Around an Extended Fiction DOI https://doi.org/10.32393/jlmms/2020.0001 Published on Fri, 01/24/2020 - 00:00 Many series books recount the life of a character growing up over a sequence of titles, offering a strong sense of clear progression. Readers, however, may encounter this series out of order, or they may encounter numerous adapted versions of a story. Either way, they have to decide their own interpretative priorities. Back to top Introduction The concept of a sequence implies an orderly progression. A series of books conveys the sense of a logical advancement through a character’s life or a succession of events, intelligibly assembled into a system that is sometimes even numbered for maximum clarity. Such a sequence of novels frequently uses time as an organizer—either moving through part of a character’s lifespan or manipulating the calendar to run on a repeat cycle through (for example) Nancy Drew’s eighteenth summer. We know that life is not as tidy as the stories conveyed in books. But, in the case of series, even the material presentation of the books is misleading; despite the neat row of ascending numbers on the books’ spines, readers encounter a series of titles in partial, messy, sometimes consuming, and sometimes unsatisfying ways. Furthermore, in the clutter and circularity of contemporary culture, book series in their pristine order on the shelf frequently do not represent the only versions of characters and events. Media adaptations, publishers’ reworkings, fan variations, and a plethora of consumables all offer forms of what we might call “re- presentation,” and there is no telling what route through this busy landscape of reiteration any particular reader may take, or what version of the story they may encounter before reaching the original version.

  • The Aeneid with Rabbits
    The Aeneid with Rabbits: Children's Fantasy as Modern Epic by Hannah Parry A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Victoria University of Wellington 2016 Acknowledgements Sincere thanks are owed to Geoff Miles and Harry Ricketts, for their insightful supervision of this thesis. Thanks to Geoff also for his previous supervision of my MA thesis and of the 489 Research Paper which began my academic interest in tracking modern fantasy back to classical epic. He must be thoroughly sick of reading drafts of my writing by now, but has never once showed it, and has always been helpful, enthusiastic and kind. For talking to me about Tolkien, Old English and Old Norse, lending me a whole box of books, and inviting me to spend countless Wednesday evenings at their house with the Norse Reading Group, I would like to thank Christine Franzen and Robert Easting. I'd also like to thank the English department staff and postgraduates of Victoria University of Wellington, for their interest and support throughout, and for being some of the nicest people it has been my privilege to meet. Victoria University of Wellington provided financial support for this thesis through the Victoria University Doctoral Scholarship, for which I am very grateful. For access to letters, notebooks and manuscripts pertaining to Rosemary Sutcliff, Philip Pullman, and C.S. Lewis, I would like to thank the Seven Stories National Centre for Children's Books in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and Oxford University. Finally, thanks to my parents, William and Lynette Parry, for fostering my love of books, and to my sister, Sarah Parry, for her patience, intelligence, insight, and many terrific conversations about all things literary and fantastical.

  • Family Melodrama for the Nation
    Re-visioning Emily of New Moon: Family Melodrama for the Nation • Christopher Gittings • Resume: L'arlicle analyse la problematique de I''adaptation televisuelle de I'oeuvre litteraire de L.M. Montgomery dans Ie contexte de I'elaboration de la culture natio- nals au Canada anglais: dans I 'ensemble, les adaptations pour la television valori- sent cet ecrivain en tant que figure d'une culture populaire compatible avec la percep- tion actuelle de I'identite canadienne. Summary: Drawing on theories of culture, communication, nation and melodrama, this essay engages the problematic of adaptation from the literary to the televisual within the context of contemporary national culture. The paper suggests that pro- ducers of a contemporary national culture work to rehabilitate L.M. Montgomery as a national popular culture icon compatible with late-twentieth century Canadian imaginings of nation. ove over Anne, Emily has arrived. While images of the eponymous Mcharacter of Lucy Maud Montgomery's Anne of Green Gables are im- pressed upon Prince Edward Island license plates, and while Anne is described by Canadian pop culture gurus Geoff Pevere and Greig Dymond as a Canadian "Mickey Mouse" at the nexus of a multimillion-dollar tourist trade, over the past year Emily Byrd Starr has received more media attention than her red- haired counterpart (Pevere and Dymond 13). The reason for this interest is, of course, the most recent commodification of Montgomery's work, the $13 mil- lion, thirteen-episode, Salter Street/CINAR co-production of the 1925 novel Emily of New Moon1 broadcast on CBC from January to April of 1998.

  • GG/Hiawatha Poem
    Song of Hiawatha HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW By the shores of Gitche Gumee, by the shining Big-Sea-Water, Stood the wigwam of Nokomis, daughter of the Moon, Nokomis. Dark behind it rose the forest, rose the black and gloomy pine-trees, Rose the firs with cones upon them; bright before it beat the water, Beat the clear and sunny water, beat the shining Big-Sea-Water. There the wrinkled old Nokomis nursed the little Hiawatha, Rocked him in his linden cradle, bedded soft in moss and rushes, Safely bound with reindeer sinews; stilled his fretful wail by saying, “Hush! the Naked Bear will hear thee!” Lulled him into slumber, singing, “Ewa-yea! my little owlet! Who is this, that lights the wigwam? With his great eyes lights the wigwam? Ewa-yea! my little owlet!” Many things Nokomis taught him of the stars that shine in heaven; Showed him Ishkoodah, the comet, Ishkoodah, with fiery tresses; Showed the Death-Dance of the spirits, warriors with their plumes and war-clubs, Flaring far away to northward in the frosty nights of winter; Showed the broad white road in heaven, pathway of the ghosts, the shadows, Running straight across the heavens, crowded with the ghosts, the shadows. At the door on summer evenings, sat the little Hiawatha; Heard the whispering of the Pine-trees, heard the lapping of the water, Sounds of music, words of wonder; “Minne-wawa!” said the pine-trees, “Mudway-aushka! said the water. Saw the fire-fly Wah-wah-taysee, flitting through the dusk of evening, With the twinkle of its candle lighting up the brakes and bushes, And

  • Asample Lesson from the Gold Book Poetry
    A Sample Lesson from The Gold Book Poetry Poet’s Corner Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882) was born in the busy seaport of Portland, Maine. The excitement and blend of people of the harbors provided Henry with a rich experience. From a very early age Henry was drawn to writing. He was greatly inspired by Washington Irving’s Sketch Book. As a young man he went to Europe to study as a linguist. He had opportunities to meet distinguished men and women of England and France, but he found he enjoyed the simple life in the countryside where he befriended peasants and farmers. Longfellow returned to America a few years later and began his professorship. He married, but his wife died a few years later. Years later, Longfellow remarried and established a happy home with five children. After resigning from Harvard, he took on the sole task of writing poetry, his great joy. Longfellow received honorary degrees at Oxford and Cambridge Universities. Of all the American poets, Longfellow is probably one the best loved. When the day came to cut down the tree that Longfellow referred to as “the spreading chestnut tree” in his poem “Village Blacksmith” the children of Cambridge had it made into a chair and gave it to Longfellow as a gift. He died in 1882 in Cambridge, Massachusetts. He was honored two years later with a bust that was placed in the Poet’s Corner of Westminster Abbey. He was the first American to receive this recognition. Longfellow’s poetry is full of beauty and marked with easy rhyme.

  • 2007, Senior Seminar, Symphonic Nationalism
    James Hepokoski Spring 2007 Office Hours (143 Elm, Room 202): Tue, 1:30-3:00 [email protected] Music 422: Symphonic Nationalism Senior Seminar: A consideration of selected musical idioms, ca. 1840-1925, associated with European “nationalism” and the construction of cultural memory and identity. The compositions to be considered include symphonic works, operatic excerpts, and a few other vocal pieces. The seminar centers on art music from three differing cultures: Russia—4 sessions (Glinka, Balakirev, Borodin, Musorgsky, Rimsky-Korsakov, and Tchaikovsky); Czech regions/Bohemia-- 4 sessions (Smetana and Dvořák), and Finland—4 sessions (Sibelius). Another session in the middle of the term will be devoted more exclusively to larger issues of nationalism, culture, and identity. Discussions of selected movements; interpretations of program and structure; background and contextual reading and listening. This course focuses on the role of symphonic and operatic music in the creation of cultural monuments, ca. 1850-1910—canonic works of music traditionally regarded as expressive of the aspirations of a nation, a people, or a culture that perceived itself as existing outside of the artistic hegemonies of Austria, Germany, France, and Italy.
