When they disappear, decades may elapse before there comes another poet showing promises of similar force. It is as if some tutelary spirits were presiding over the apparently arbitrary choices of literary glory. All of a sudden, some imposing figure dominates the poetic scene, and will do so till his time is over. In the case of Ted Hughes, this crystallisation, the moment when it all started, was that of his meeting with another poet of similar force: Sylvia Plath whose influence on American poetry would match that of Ted Hughes on English poetry. The strange thing is that both seemed to have had from the start the profound conviction that such would be the case. It would be truer to say that poetry had chosen them rather than they had themselves decided to follow its calling. Ted Hughes was later to write that they had only done what poetry had told them to do. The Valkyrie of glory seemed to have picked them, like the falcon of love, for reasons known to the gods alone, unless it was the tragic farce of a blind, melancholy Cupid with wings as black as a crow’s. From that time on, they were the toys of a greater destiny, as if together they had been possessed by spirits whose voices they did everything they could to stay tuned to and transcribe. It would be wrong to think that Sylvia Plath was simply Ted Hughes’s wife, just as it would be a mistake to see him as her husband. It is in fact both very complicated and very simple: each of their poetic works is a personal response to the enigma set by the sphinx of love. Both in their own way are wrestling with the ghoul that is after them: why love? Why this irresistible attraction and impossible agreement between a man and a woman? Ted Hughes, in his poetry, never ceased to probe the relationship between the masculine and the feminine. He would even go as far, in his attempt to account for and explain it, as to invent a theology. This places him in a long tradition of English poets: Milton, Blake, and to some extent Shelley, then more recently Yeats, who all plunged into the elaboration of imaginary worlds in their efforts to penetrate the mysteries of the world in which we live. Like them, Hughes was convinced that he had something to say to the world, and he considered it his duty to write it all before leaving it. Past and present contained so much that was regrettable, that he wanted to do everything in his power to change the future. To double his chances of being heard by the generations to come, he split himself in two to produce, in parallel, a plethora of poems and tales for children. Perhaps, he found there his true public, the readers dearest to his heart. For poetry, like childhood, is slipping out of a world getting too old too fast. 6 - I - YORKSHIRE Eroded relief of Yorkshire. These low hills and shallow dales were tirelessly scraped by the glaciers, of which they retain the unforgettable wear. The valleys have very little depth, and seem still erasing themselves, imperceptibly yet ineluctably. The horizons, at once too far and too near, exsude an irremediable sadness, under pale skies that steep the landscapes with northern light, always slightly grey. The flattened curves of the land are like those of an incommensurable animal sleeping, that sometimes seems to stir a little when some sea storm sends a shiver down its skin. On these low waves of heath and sheep pastures lined by stone walls, where the weather meets no hindrance whatsoever, everything has learnt to endure. To hide away as best they can from wind and rain, houses and trees huddle in wet hollows down which the rain runs. The earth around the churches is saturated with tombs of all ages, until the gravestones make a continuous pavement, on which the rare visitors have to tread. Some stones are broken or displaced, yet nobody has ever presumed to bring some derisory order to the work of time. Dust thou art, and to dust thou shalt return. The dead return very precisely to the earth in a kind of stoic, indifferent resignation of the living: a sort of ostentatious disdain of ostentation. Rarely does even the most unassuming of crosses adorn the graves of these severe Puritans, who were in the past particularly receptive to the Methodist doctrine of Wesley. Over the years, rain, frost and the continuous tread of passers-by have got the better of the inscriptions on the stones. In the village of Heptonstall, the Old Church of Saint Thomas Beckett, dedicated to the saint in about the year 1260, was strangely abandoned in the middle of the 19th century after a storm severely damaged the steeple. Indifferent to history, the parishioners preferred to seize the opportunity thus offered to build a new church. The old church was thus abandoned to the injuries of time, the roof caved in and only stone arches remained, like the ribs of some large bird. For the poet, it inevitably evoked the derelict state of Christianity of which, he thought, nothing but ghost- like vestiges survived. In the new graveyard, the site where Edith Farrar and her husband William Hughes rest together is surmounted by a vertical tombstone of gray granite on which their names are engraved. A similar stone marks the burial place of Sylvia Plath Hughes. It bears a poetic epitaph affirming that even among fierce flames the golden lotus can be planted. A few red flowers like those of the sage, evoking the salvia, and a yellow rose bush are planted in a small narrow rectangle of earth bordered with stones indicating the place of burial, around which the trodden grass testifies to frequent visits. The desolate streets of Heptonstall are cambered cobbled lanes, with no pavements, lined with severe- looking black stone houses with stunted front gardens, bordered with low walls made of similar stones carefully joined with cement, with a paved gutter running right at the foot. To this day, the air is charged with a vague, oppressive sense of anguish which seems to leave little room for hope in this world. The rural drift of people from the land has left these rural parts of Yorkshire still more desolate than before, yet melancholy seems to be precisely what a few tourists on short day-trips from the neighbouring cities come looking for. Throughout the ages, this 8 country has demanded of those who tried to survive on it a constant struggle as well as a tough and rugged character. In the 18th century, during the industrial revolution, when water mills were being turned into factories, spinning mills were built on the banks of mountain streams to exploit their water power. Later, owing to the pursuit of profit and the pressures of history, these manufacturing places were transformed into steam-powered factories, for which coal was feverishly conveyed by road in a vain attempt to keep pace with the big nearby centres of Leeds, Sheffield, Manchester, Liverpool. But soon, this sudden technological outburst began to wane, as if it were but an isolated episode lost in the indifference of an immutable nature, which would not even stoop down to pastoral beauty. At Lumb, the factory chimneys have long been conquered by brush that has outgrown them. Like the old church of Heptonstall, they are slowly going back to the earth. Now that Protestantism and the diligent practice of its virtues have finally bitten the dust, it would seem the romantic critics were right to inveigh against too strict an interpretation of the Gospel which, in the end, made no difference between the hope of an afterlife and success in this world, to the point of forgetting all the emotions of the heart. Edith Farrar, the poet's mother, came from a family that had been strongly influenced by the Methodist revival.

A Coruña RESUMEN Como seres mitológicos elementales de la naturaleza, guardianes de los bosques y de todos los seres vivos que habitan en ellos, los duendes forman parte de la raza elemental feérica, y junto con elfos, trols y hadas, son los seres más populares de las mitologías celta y nórdica. Según la mitología celta, el rey de los duendes y elfos responde al nombre de Oberón, mencionado en obras como Macbeth o Sueño de una noche de San Juan de William Shakespeare. Posteriormente, estas leyendas son igualmente mencionadas en el Fausto de Goethe, donde un coro de silfos invocado por Mefistófeles trata de seducir al doctor Fausto, o en cuentos tradicionales infantiles como los escritos por los hermanos Grimm, donde la figura del duende suele asociarse a pequeños seres bonachones. Herederos de esa tradición literaria son muchos de los cuentos contemporáneos del peninsular español. Palabras clave: duende, céltica, península ibérica, literatura comparada. ABSTRACT As a basic mythological element in our nature, guardians of forests and all living things that inhabit them, fairies are part of the elemental fairy race, and along with elves, and trolls, are the most popular creatures in Celtic and Norse mythologies. According to Celtic mythology, the king of fairies and elves is named Oberon, mentioned in works such as Macbeth or Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare.

A thesis supervised by Dr. Isobel Grundy and submitted at Queen Mary and Westfield College, in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Ph. D. by Philippa Susan Little June 1990. The thesis explores the poetry (and some prose) of Plath, Sexton, Atwood and Rich in terms of the changing constructions of self-image predicated upon the female role between approx. 1950-1980.1 am particularly concerned with the question of how the discourses of femininity and feminism contribute to the scope of the images of the self which are presented. The period was chosen because it involved significant upheaval and change in terms of women's role and gender identity. The four poets' work spans this period of change and appears to some extent generally characteristic of its social, political and cultural contexts in America, Britain and Canada.

Robbins Date Signature August 8, 2018 Jeremy Glick Date Signature of Second Reader Although Sylvia Plath’s literary career pre-dates the second-wave feminist movement’s acknowledgement and use of poetry as a means to effect political change, Ariel makes a prescient cry for the dismantling of the patriarchy by creating agency and resistance through presentation of grotesquely bloodied and injured female bodies that have historically been on view only as eroticized objects of desire. Plath embeds Ariel with motifs of hospitals, medicine, disfigured anatomy, or the body otherwise in crisis, creating an affective field for the grotesque that makes female trauma a collective – and politically activating – experience.

  • The Nature of Hellenistic Domestic Sculpture in Its Cultural and Spatial Contexts
    THE NATURE OF HELLENISTIC DOMESTIC SCULPTURE IN ITS CULTURAL AND SPATIAL CONTEXTS DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Craig I. Hardiman, B.Comm., B.A., M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Dr. Mark D. Fullerton, Advisor Dr. Timothy J. McNiven _______________________________ Advisor Dr. Stephen V. Tracy Graduate Program in the History of Art Copyright by Craig I. Hardiman 2005 ABSTRACT This dissertation marks the first synthetic and contextual analysis of domestic sculpture for the whole of the Hellenistic period (323 BCE – 31 BCE). Prior to this study, Hellenistic domestic sculpture had been examined from a broadly literary perspective or had been the focus of smaller regional or site-specific studies. Rather than taking any one approach, this dissertation examines both the literary testimonia and the material record in order to develop as full a picture as possible for the location, function and meaning(s) of these pieces. The study begins with a reconsideration of the literary evidence. The testimonia deal chiefly with the residences of the Hellenistic kings and their conspicuous displays of wealth in the most public rooms in the home, namely courtyards and dining rooms. Following this, the material evidence from the Greek mainland and Asia Minor is considered. The general evidence supports the literary testimonia’s location for these sculptures. In addition, several individual examples offer insights into the sophistication of domestic decorative programs among the Greeks, something usually associated with the Romans.

  • Folk Hinduism in West Bengal
    1 Folk Hinduism in West Bengal In the rural areas of India, we see a variety of notions about the nature of gods and goddesses. They are not “high gods,” as we see in the pan-Indian brahmanical forms of Hinduism, but rather regional deities, intimately associated with villages and towns. Indeed, some would not be characterized as gods and goddesses by most people, for those supernatural entities given offerings and worship include ghosts, ancestors, water and plant essences, guardian spirits, and disease con- trollers. We see some overlap of tribal deities, the deities of non-Hindu or semi- Hindu villagers, with the village gods or gramadevatas of village Hinduism. These may be µeld or mountain spirits, or angry ghosts of women who died violent deaths. All of these may be seen in the large area of folk Hinduism. There is no sharp differentiation between the tribal deities, village deities, and gods and god- desses of brahmanical Hinduism. Rather than a polarity, we see a continuum, for these traditions worship many deities in common. Some themes that may be noted in the worship of folk gods and goddesses: Regionalism: These deities are associated with speciµc places, temples, µelds, and streams. The Kali of one village is not the same as the next village’s Kali. One Chandi gives good hunting, another Chandi cures disease. Goddesses are not pan-Indian; they are speciµc to a person’s tribal or caste group, ex- tended family, neighborhood, or village. Pragmatism: These deities are rarely worshiped in a spirit of pure and ab- stract devotion.
