  • ADAM and the ANTS Adam and the Ants Were Formed in 1977 in London, England
    ADAM AND THE ANTS Adam and the Ants were formed in 1977 in London, England. They existed in two incarnations. One of which lasted from 1977 until 1982 known as The Ants. This was considered their Punk era. The second incarnation known as Adam and the Ants also featured Adam Ant on vocals, but the rest of the band changed quite frequently. This would mark their shift to new wave/post-punk. They would release ten studio albums and twenty-five singles. Their hits include Stand and Deliver, Antmusic, Antrap, Prince Charming, and Kings of the Wild Frontier. A large part of their identity was the uniform Adam Ant wore on stage that consisted of blue and gold material as well as his sophisticated and dramatic stage presence. Click the band name above. ECHO AND THE BUNNYMEN Formed in Liverpool, England in 1978 post-punk/new wave band Echo and the Bunnymen consisted of Ian McCulloch (vocals, guitar), Will Sergeant (guitar), Les Pattinson (bass), and Pete de Freitas (drums). They produced thirteen studio albums and thirty singles. Their debut album Crocodiles would make it to the top twenty list in the UK. Some of their hits include Killing Moon, Bring on the Dancing Horses, The Cutter, Rescue, Back of Love, and Lips Like Sugar. A very large part of their identity was silohuettes. Their music videos and album covers often included silohuettes of the band. They also have somewhat dark undertones to their music that are conveyed through the design. Click the band name above. THE CLASH Formed in London, England in 1976, The Clash were a punk rock group consisting of Joe Strummer (vocals, guitar), Mick Jones (vocals, guitar), Paul Simonon (bass), and Topper Headon (drums).

  • Vision, Perception, and Isolation in Virginia Woolf's Ill Characters By
    The Language of Illness: Vision, Perception, and Isolation in Virginia Woolf’s Ill Characters by Mary Demery A thesis presented for the B. A. degree With Honors in The Department of English University of Michigan Winter 2012 © March 19, 2012 Mary Demery Acknowledgements At the end of this yearlong process, the time comes to effusively thank those who have helped me all along. Thank you to John, first and foremost. This thesis couldn’t have been written without you. You were patient and encouraging and excited about my thesis from the beginning, and for that, I am deeply grateful. Thank you to Jennifer, for your calming cheerleading in class and your thorough, spirited reading of my work in all stages. Thank you to my parents for the constancy of your support. Though you were forty miles away, I felt it through the phone calls and the emails you sent my way. To my brothers and friends: thank you for listening to me talk and worry and vent about the thesis. Your open ears meant more to me than you know. Lastly, thank you to all the other English thesis-writers. I left our classes feeling creative and energized and, most importantly, part of a group, one of many approaching similar problems about wording and structure and argument. Thank you once more to everyone who has helped me out along the way. Abstract In Virginia Woolf’s work, illness is one of the ways she explores the territory that to this day marks her as a modernist writer; moreover, illness allows Woolf to experiment with language, through vivid and evocative imagery and language; through illness she also explores human communication, a theme of major significance in her oeuvre.
