From abortion to pederasty : addressing difficult topics in the classics classroom Nancy Sorkin Rabinowitz; Fiona McHardy The Ohio State University Press, Columbus :, 2014
This Volume Had Its Origins In A Very Specific Situation: The Teaching Of Ancient Texts Dealing With Rape. Ensuing Discussions Among A Group Of Scholars Expanded Outwards From This To Other Sensitive Areas. Ancient Sources Raise A Variety Of Issues-slavery, Infanticide, Abortion, Rape, Pederasty, Domestic Violence, Death, Sexuality-that May Be Difficult To Discuss In A Classroom Where Some Students Will Have Had Experiences Similar To Those Described In Classical Texts. They May Therefore Be Reluctant To Speak In Class, And Even The Reading Themselves May Be Painful. From Abortion To Pederasty: Addressing Difficult Topics In The Classics Classroom, Edited By Nancy Sorkin Rabinowitz And Fiona Mchardy, Is Committed To The Proposition That It Is Important To Continue To Teach Texts That Raise These Issues, Not To Avoid Them. In This Volume, Classicists And Ancient Historians From Around The World Address How To Teach Such Topics As Rape, Pederasty, And Slavery In The Classics Classroom. The Contributors Present The Concrete Ways In Which They Themselves Have Approached Such Issues In Their Course Planning And In Their Responses To Students' Needs. A Main Objective Of From Abortion To Pederasty Is To Combat Arguments, From Both The Left And The Right, That The Classics Are Elitist And Irrelevant. Indeed, They Are So Relevant, And So Challenging, As To Be Painful At Times. Another Objective Is To Show How Greco-roman Culture And History Can Provide A Way Into A Discussion That Might Have Been Difficult Or Even Traumatic In Other Settings. Thus It Will Provide Teaching Tools For Dealing With Uncomfortable Topics In The Classroom, Including Homophobia And Racism-- Introduction : Difficult And Sensitive Discussions / Nancy Sorkin Rabinowitz -- Near Death Experiences : Greek Art And Archaeology Beyond The Grave / Tyler Jo Smith And Carrie L.

Puritanism and Modernist Novels: From Moral Character to the Ethical Self (Literature, Religion, & Postsecular Stud) Hinojosa, Lynne W The Ohio State University Press, Literature, religion, and postsecular studies, Columbus, 2015
"In Puritanism and Modernist Novels: From Moral Character to the Ethical Self, Lynne W. Hinojosa complicates traditional interpretations of the novel and literary modernism as secular developments of modernity by arguing that the British novel tradition is fundamentally shaped by Puritan hermeneutics and Bible-reading practices. This tradition, however, simultaneously works to dismantle the categories associated with social morality and moral character, helping to form "Puritanism" into a fictional stereotype. Hinojosa demonstrates that the novel thus perpetuates a narrative that associates Puritanism with moral and religious confinement, on the one hand, and modern longing with escape, on the other-even as it remains tied to Puritan views of history and the self. Puritanism and Modernist Novels offers new formal and contextual readings of early modernist novels by Oscar Wilde, E. M. Forster, James Joyce, and Ford Madox Ford. Hinojosa demonstrates that, while they long for escape, these authors still question the value of the novelistic narrative of confinement and escape. Bridging modernist and novel studies, Puritanism and Modernist Novels contributes to conversations about secularization and religion in both fields, highlighting the limitations created by the secularization narrative of modernity."-- Suministrado por el Editor

Alliterative Proverbs In Medieval England: Language Choice And Literary Meaning Project Muse Upcc Books Deskis, Susan E. (author.) The Ohio State University Press,, Chicago Distribution Center (CDC Presses), Columbus, 2016
Medieval England's specific political and linguistic history encompasses a great number of significant changes, some of the most disruptive of which were occasioned by the Norman Conquest. The alliterative proverb, with roots in Old English and continued vitality in Middle English, serves as a unique verbal icon allowing exploration of cultural conditions both before and after the Conquest. As a durable yet flexible form, the proverb remained just as important in the fifteenth century as it was in the sixth. The proverb has been an underutilized resource in tracing the linguistic and intellectual cultures of the past. Making the fullest use of this material, this study, by Susan E. Deskis, is complex in its combination of philology, paroemiology, literary history, and sociolinguistics, ultimately reaching conclusions that are enlightening for both the literary and linguistic histories of medieval England. In the language ecology of England from about 1100 to about 1500, where English, French, and Latin compete for use, alliterative proverbs are marked not only by the choice of English as the language of expression but also because alliteration in Middle English connotes a conscious connection to the past. Alliterative Proverbs in Medieval England: Language Choice and Literary Meaning explores how that connection is exploited in various literary genres from school texts and sermons to romances and cycle plays.

Reading Ovid in Medieval Wales Ovid;Ovidius Naso, Publius;Russell, Paul The Ohio State University Press, Text and context (Columbus, Ohio), Columbus, 2017
"Reading Ovid in Medieval Wales provides the first complete edition and discussion of the earliest surviving fragment of Ovid{u2019}s Ars amatoria, or The Art of Love, which derives from ninth-century Wales; the manuscript, which is preserved in Oxford, is heavily glossed mainly in Latin but also in Old Welsh. This study, by Classical and Celtic scholar Paul Russell, discusses the significance of the manuscript for classical studies and how it was absorbed into the classical Ovidian tradition. This volume{u2019}s main focus, however, is on the glossing and commentary and what these can teach us about the pedagogical approaches to Ovid{u2019}s text in medieval Europe and Britain and, more specifically, in Wales. Russell argues that this annotated version of the Ars amatoria arose out of the teaching traditions of the Carolingian world and that the annotation, as we have it, was the product of a cumulative process of glossing and commenting on the text. He then surveys other glossed Ovid manuscripts to demonstrate how that accumulation was built up. Russell also explores the fascinating issue of why Ovid{u2019}s love poetry should be used to teach Latin verse in monastic contexts. Finally, he discusses the connection between this manuscript and the numerous references to Ovid in later Welsh poetry, suggesting that the Ovidian references should perhaps be taken to refer to love poetry more generically."--P.

Syphilis : medicine, metaphor, and religious conflict in early modern France Losse, Deborah N. The Ohio State University Press, Columbus, Ohio, ©2015
In Syphilis: Medicine, Metaphor, And Religious Conflict In Early Modern France, Deborah N. Losse Examines How Images Of Syphilis Became Central To Renaissance Writing And Reflected More Than Just The Rapid Spread Of This New And Poorly Understood Disease. Losse Argues That Early Modern Writers Also Connected Syphilis With The Wars Of Religion In Sixteenth-century France. These Writers, From Reform-minded Humanists To Protestant Poets And Catholic Polemicists, Entered The Debate From All Sides By Appropriating The Disease As A Metaphor For Weakening French Social Institutions. Catholics And Protestants Alike Leveled The Charge Of Paillardise (lechery) At One Another. Losse Demonstrates How They Adopted The Language Of Disease To Attack Each Other's Politics, Connecting Diseased Bodies With Diseased Doctrine. Losse Provides Close Readings Of A Range Of Genres, Moving Between Polemical Poetry, Satirical Narratives, Dialogical Colloquies, Travel Literature, And The Personal Essay. With Chapters Featuring Erasmus, Rabelais, Montaigne, Léry, And Agrippa D'aubigné, This Study Compares Literary Descriptions Of Syphilis With Medical Descriptions. In The First Full-length Study Of Renaissance Writers' Engagement With Syphilis, Losse Charts A History From The Most Vehement Rhetoric Of The Pox To A Tenuous Resolution Of France's Conflicts, When Both Sides Called For A Return To Order.--page 4 Of Cover.

Whereas the tradition of emulating classical ideals in German intellectual life has generally emerged from the impulse to identify with models, the challenge of translating the Greeks underscores the linguistic and historical discontinuities inherent in the recourse to ancient material and inscribes that experience of disruption as fundamental to modernity. Friedrich Hölderlin’s translations are a case in point. Regarded in his own time as the work of a madman, his renditions of Sophoclean tragedy intensify dramatic effect with the unsettling experience of familiar language slipping its moorings. His attention to marking the distances between ancient source text and modern translation has granted his Oedipus and Antigone a distinct longevity as objects of discussion, adaptation, and even retranslation. Cited by Walter Benjamin, Martin Heidegger, Bertolt Brecht, and others, Hölderlin’s Sophocles project follows a path both marked by various contexts and tinged by persistent quandaries of untranslatability.

Imperial media : colonial networks and information technologies in the British literary imagination, 1857-1918 Worth, Aaron The Ohio State University Press, Columbus :, 2014
Imperial Colonial Networks and Information Technologies in the British Literary Imagination, 18571918 brings together two of the most dynamic and productive approaches to the study of nineteenth-century literature in recent yearsmedia studies and colonial studiesto illuminate the rich and enduring symbiosis that developed between information technologies and Empire. Over a century before Facebook and the iPhone, Britons relied on the electric media of their day for information about their global empirebut those media, which during Victorias reign stretched out its tentacles to form a true world wide web, not only delivered information but provided conceptual frames as well, helping to shape the way their users thought. Ranging in space from the telegraph offices of Kiplings India to the wireless transmitter on H.G. Wellss Africanized moon, and in time from the Sepoy Rebellion to the Great War, Imperial Media reveals the extent to which British conceptions of imperial power were inflected by the new media of the nineteenth the telegraph, telephone, phonograph, radio, and cinema. While focusing on the fiction of Kipling, Wells, Marie Corelli, H. Rider Haggard, and John Buchan (the last Victorian, in Gertrude Himmelfarbs phrase), Aaron Worth also argues that the imperial media of the Victorians retain much of their imaginative life and power today, informing such popular entertainments of the twenty-first century as Bollywood cinema and the BBCs science-fiction franchise Torchwood . This is a vital, engaging study that will shape future discussions of both colonial and information systems, as well as the relationship between the two, in Victorian studies and elsewhere.

Feminist Narrative Ethics: Tacit Persuasion in Modernist Form (THEORY INTERPRETATION NARRATIV) Nash, Katherine Saunders The Ohio State University Press, Theory and interpretation of narrative series; collections on Project MUSE; UPCC collections on Project MUSE. Literature, 2014
Feminist Narrative Tacit Persuasion in Modernist Form establishes a new theory of narrative ethics by analyzing rhetorical techniques prompt readers of novels to reconsider their ethical convictions about womens rights. Katherine Saunders Nash proposes four new theoretical the ethics of persuasion (Virginia Woolf), of fair play (Dorothy L. Sayers), of distance (E. M. Forster), and of attention (John Cowper Powys). While offering close readings of novels by each author, this book also provides a new, interdisciplinary basis for coordinating feminist and rhetorical theories, history, and narrative technique. Despite pronouncements by many theorists about the difficultyeven the impossibilityof doing justice in a single study to both history and form, Feminist Narrative Ethics proves that they can be mutually illuminating. Its approach is not only resolutely rhetorical, but resolutely historical as well. It strikes a felicitous balance between history and form that affords new understanding of the implied author concept. Feminist Narrative Ethics makes a persuasive case for the necessity of locating authorial agency in the implied (rather than the actual) author and cogently explains why rhetorical theory insists on the concept of an implied (rather than an inferred) author. And it proposes a new facet of agency that rhetorical theorists have heretofore the ethics of progressive revisions to a project in manuscript.

The sanitary arts : aesthetic culture and the Victorian cleanliness campaigns Eileen Cleere The Ohio State University Press, First edition, Columbus, 2014
"Eileen Cleere argues in this interdisciplinary study that mid-century discoveries about hygiene and cleanliness not only influenced public health, civic planning, and medical practice but also powerfully reshaped the aesthetic values of the British middle class. By focusing on paintings, domestic architecture, and interior design, The Sanitary Arts: Aesthetic Culture and the Victorian Cleanliness Campaigns shows that the "sanitary aesthetic" significantly transformed the taste of the British public over the nineteenth century by equating robust health and cleanliness with new definitions of beauty and new experiences of aisthesis. Covering everything from connoisseurs to custodians, Cleere demonstrates that Victorian art critics, engineers, and architects-and even novelists from George Eliot to Charles Dickens, Charlotte Mary Young to Sarah Grand-all participated in a vital cultural debate over hygiene, cleanliness, and aesthetic enlightenment. The Sanitary Arts covers the mid-forties controversy over cleaning the dirt from the pictures in the National Gallery, the debate over decorative "dust traps" in the overstuffed Victorian home, and the late-century proliferation of hygienic breeding principles as a program of aesthetic perfectibility, to demonstrate the unintentionally collaborative work of seemingly unrelated events and discourses. Bringing figures like Edwin Chadwick and John Ruskin into close conversation about the sanitary status of beauty in a variety of forms and environments, Cleere forcefully demonstrates that aesthetic development and scientific discovery can no longer be understood as separate or discrete forces of cultural change"-- Provided by publisher

Its reach into American society is vast and deep. Over time, the issues it has confronted have increased in both quantity and complexity. At the beginning, Congress dealt with a handful of matters, whereas today it has its hands in every imaginable aspect of life. It has attempted to meet these challenges and has changed throughout the course of its history, prodded by factors both external and internal to the institution. The essays in this volume argue therefore that as society changed throughout the twentieth century, Congress responded to those changes. Contributors include: George E. Connor, Bruce I.

In The Works And Letters Of His Later Years, Wilkie Collins Continually Expressed His Displeasure Over Copyright Violations. Wilkie Collins And Copyright: Artistic Ownership In The Age Of The Borderless Word By Sundeep Bisla Asks Whether That Discontent Might Not Also Have Affected The Composition Of Collins{8217}s Major Early Works Of The 1850s And 60s. Bisla{8217}s Investigation Into This Question, Surprisingly, Does Not Find An Uncomplicated Author Uncomplicatedly Launched On A Defense Of What He Believes To Be Rightfully His. Instead, Bisla Finds An Author Locked In Fierce Negotiation With The Theoretical Underpinnings Of His Medium, The Written Word, Underpinnings Best Delineated By The Twentieth-century Deconstructionist Jacques Derrida. Collins{8217}s Discomfort With Copyright Violation Comes To Be In Tension With His Budding Understanding Of The Paradoxical Nature Of The ?iterability? Of The Word, A Nature Presenting Itself As A Conflict Between The Settling And Breaking Manifestations Of Linguistic Repetition. In His Efforts At Resolving This Paradox, Collins Adopts A Mechanism Of Recursive Self-reflexivity Through Which Each Story Reflects Upon Itself To A More Fundamental Extent Than Had Its Predecessor. This Self-reflexive Exploration Has Significant Consequences For The Author{8217}s Own Iterability-menaced Subjectivity, A Striking Example Of Which Can Be Seen In The Fact That The Name Being Sought In Collins{8217}s Last Masterpiece, The Moonstone, Will End Up Being ?my Own Name? {8212} In Other Words, ?wilkie Collins.?

In this book, Steele Nowlin examines the process of poetic invention as it is conceptualized and expressed in the poetry of Geoffrey Chaucer (1343--1400) and John Gower (ca. 1330--1408). Specifically, it examines how these two poets present invention as an affective force, a process characterized by emergence and potentiality, and one that has a corollary in affect that is, a kind of force or sensation distinct from emotion, characterized as an "intensity" that precedes what is only later cognitively understood and expressed as feeling or emotion, and that is typically described in a critical vocabulary of movement, emergence, and becoming. Chaucer, Gower, and the Affect of Invention thus formulates a definition of affect that differs from most work in the recent "turn to affect" in medieval studies, focusing not on the representation of emotion or desire, or efforts to engage medieval alterity, but on the movement and emergence that precede emotional experience. It likewise argues for a broader understanding of invention in late medieval literature beyond analyses of rhetorical poetics and authorial politics by recuperating the dynamism and sense of potential that characterize inventional activity. Finally, its close readings of Chaucer's and Gower's poetry provide new insights into how these poets represent invention in order to engage the pervasive social and cultural discourses their poetry addresses

Its three sections, “Memory,” “Politics,” and “Age,” frame meditations on a violence-blotched world with reflections on the author’s childhood and conclusions about a decades-long life of writing. “I’m 60 and still . . . alive in this world, with love and with its palindrome,” one poem says. And the argument of the book turns on that precise puzzle: on evol, invoking as it does both evil and evolve, both human wrong and life as something more than mere survival. In a variety of styles—prose poems, standard and dislocated forms—Hoeppner uses “blood” to represent family and history, his surprising and richly imagistic language rendering the emptiness he calls imagination “into remains. Into what persists.”

Scribal Authorship and the Writing of History in Medieval England (Interventions: New Studies Medieval Cult) Fisher, Matthew The Ohio State University Press, Interventions: new studies in medieval culture, Columbus, ©2012
Based On New Readings Of Some Of The Least-read Texts By Some Of The Best-known Scribes Of Later Medieval England, Scribal Authorship And The Writing Of History In Medieval England Reconceptualizes Medieval Scribes As Authors, And The Texts Surviving In Medieval Manuscripts As Authored. Culling Evidence From History Writing In Later Medieval England, Matthew Fisher Concludes That We Must Reject The Axiomatic Division Between Scribe And Author. Using The Peculiarities Of Authority And Intertextuality Unique To Medieval Historiography, Fisher Exposes The Rich Ambiguities Of What It Means For Medieval Scribes To Write Books. He Thus Frames The Composition, Transmission, And Reception--indeed, The Authorship--of Some Medieval Texts As Scribal Phenomena. History Writing Is An Inherently Intertextual Genre: In Order To Write About The Past, Texts Must Draw Upon Other Texts. Scribal Authorship Demonstrates That Medieval Historiography Relies Upon Quotation, Translation, And Adaptation In Such A Way That The Very Idea That There Is Some Line That Divides Author From Scribe Is An Unsustainable And Modern Critical Imposition. Given The Reality That A Scribe's Work Was Far More Nuanced Than The Simplistic Binary Of Error And Accuracy Would Suggest, Fisher Completely Overturns Many Of Our Assumptions About The Processes Through Which Manuscripts Were Assembled And Texts (both Canonical Literature And The Less Obviously Literary) Were Composed. The Medieval Scribe -- Authority, Quotation, And English Historiography -- History's Scribes -- The Harley Scribe -- The Auchinleck Manuscript And The Writing Of History. Matthew Fisher.

Contemporary Advances In Theoretical And Applied Spanish Linguistic Variation Project Muse Upcc Books Edited by Juan Colomina-Alminana The Ohio State University Press, Project Muse,, Theoretical developments in Hispanic linguistics, Columbus, 2017
Contemporary Advances in Theoretical and Applied Spanish Linguistic Variation by Juan J. Colomina-Almiñana, reframes the understanding of language variation and change as an intimate interplay between both linguistic features and social factors always occurring in unison in the same historical process. Its ten chapters, divided into four parts, provide both a synchronic and a diachronic view of Hispanic sociolinguistics, focusing not only on the historical development of Spanish as a Romance language, but also analyzing certain idiosyncratic elements of non-standard Spanish varieties across multiple regions, nations, and diasporas. In addition, the volume offers an enchronic perspective of this phenomenon by analyzing how certain sustained cultural practices may drive concrete linguistic developments. This volume makes three major contributions to Hispanic sociolinguistics. First, it covers variation in less commonly studied varieties, which are new areas of interest in a broader world where certain minorities and their languages are crucial. Second, it offers recent and innovative approaches to variation coming from formal theories in order to spark a debate about methodology that is more comprehensive of the diverse approaches to variation currently practiced in the field. Finally, it includes chapters that combine quantitative and qualitative analysis of different linguistic variables.

How (Ohio State Univ Prize in Short Fiction) Wyss, Geoff The Ohio State University Press, Columbus, Ohio, 2012
<p>&nbsp;If every story is born of a question<i>—</i>How did we get here? How do you make your arm do that?—the stories in Geoff Wyss’s <i>How</i> search for answers to the mysteries of an astonishing range of characters. The narrator of “How I Come to Be Here at the GasFast” explains why he hasn’t left a truck stop in the two days since he scratched a winning lottery ticket. In “How to Be a Winner,” a sports consultant browbeats a high school football team with his theory of history and a justification of his failed coaching career. Lost in the mazes they’ve made of themselves, Wyss’s characters search for exits on ground that shifts dizzyingly from humor to pathos, from cynicism to earnestness, from comedy to tragedy, often within the same sentence. Although propelled by a razor-sharp, contemporary voice, Wyss’s stories—many set in a New Orleans unknown to television and tourists—have more in common with Chekhov and O’Connor than with “Treme.”</p>

The court of comedy : Aristophanes, rhetoric, and democracy in fifth-century Athens Aristophane;Aristophane - comédie.;Aristophanes.;Major, Wilfred E The Ohio State University Press, Columbus, ©2013
The Court of Comedy: Aristophanes, Rhetoric, and Democracy in Fifth-Century Athens, by Wilfred E. Major, analyzes how writers of comedy in Classical Greece satirized the emerging art of rhetoric and its role in political life. In the fifth century BCE, the development of rhetoric proceeded hand in hand with the growth of democracy both on Sicily and at Athens. In turn, comic playwrights in Athens, most notably Aristophanes, lampooned oratory as part of their commentary on the successes and failures of the young democracy. This innovative study is the first book to survey all the surviving comedy from the fifth century BCE on these important topics. The evidence reveals that Greek comedy provides a revealing commentary on the incipient craft of rhetoric before its formal conventions were stabilized. Furthermore, Aristophanes' depiction of rhetoric and of Athenian democratic institutions indicates that he fundamentally supports the Athenian democracy and not, as is often argued, oligarchic opposition to it. These conclusions confirm recent work that reinterprets the early development of rhetoric in Classical Greece and offer fresh perspectives on the debate over the role of comedy in early Greek democracy. Throughout, Major capitalizes on recent progress in the understanding of the performance dynamics of Classical Greek theater.--publisher's website

Collectively, these essays by Stanley Corngold, Anniken Greve, Gerhard Kurz, Jakob Lothe, J. Hillis Miller, Gerhard Neumann, James Phelan, Beatrice Sandberg, Ronald Speirs, and Benno Wagner examine a number of provocative questions that arise in narration and narratives in Kafka’s fiction. The arguments of the essays relate both to the peculiarities of Kafka’s story-telling and to general issues in narrative theory. They reflect, for example, the complexity of the issues surrounding the “somebody” doing the telling, the attitude of the narrator to what is told, the perceived purpose(s) of the telling, the implied or actual reader, the progression of events, and the progression of the telling. As the essays also demonstrate, Kafka’s narratives still present a considerable challenge to, as well as a great resource for, narrative theory and analysis.

Conspicuous Bodies: Provincial Belief and the Making of Joyce and Rushdie (Literature, Religion, & Postsecular Stud) Joyce, James;Kane, Jean;Rushdie, Salman The Ohio State University Press, Literature, religion, and postsecular studies, First edition, Columbus, 2014
"In Conspicuous Bodies: Provincial Belief and the Making of Joyce and Rushdie, Jean Kane re-examines the literature of James Joyce and Salman Rushdie from a post-secularist perspective, arguing that their respective religions hold critical importance in their works. Though Joyce and Rushdie were initially received as cosmopolitans, both authors subsequently reframed their public images and aligned themselves instead with a provincial religious identity, which emphasized the interconnections between religious devotion and embodiment. At the same time, both Joyce and Rushdie managed to resist the doctrinal content of their religions. Conspicuous Bodies presents Joyce as a founder and Rushdie as an inheritor of a distinctive discourse of belief about the importance of physical bodies and knowledge in religious practice. In doing so, it moves the reception of Joyce and Rushdie away from what previous critics have emphasized-away from questions of aesthetics and from a narrow understanding of belief-and instead questions the assumption that belief should be segregated from matters of physicality and knowledge. Kane reintroduces the concept of spiritual embodiment in order to expand our understanding of what counts as spiritual agency in non-western and minority literatures"-- Provided by publisher

"This book examines how short-term authorizations create periods of policy stability, when implementation can occur, by allowing policies to be reconsidered only when an authorization expires. This simple procedural mechanism allows Congress to state when certain aspects of a law - such as authorizations of appropriations - will expire. By doing this, Congress creates a schedule for when a given policy will be considered and systematically steers the management of public programs by changing the resources and tools available to policy implementers."--BOOK JACKET.

Philosophies of sex : critical essays on The hermaphrodite Bergland, Renée L.;Howe, Julia Ward;Williams, Gary The Ohio State University Press, Book collections on Project MUSE, Columbus, 2012
Philosophies of Sex: Critical Essays on The Hermaphrodite is the first collection of critical studies of Julia Ward Howes long-secret novel that, since its initial publication in 2004, has caused a seismic shift in how we understand gender awareness and sexuality in antebellum America. Howe figures in the history of the nineteenth-century American literature primarily as a poet, most famous for having written the lyrics to Battle Hymn of the Republic. Rene Bergland and Gary Williams have assembled a luminous array of essays by eminent scholars of the nineteenth-century American literature, providing fascinatingand widely differingcontexts in which to understand Howes venture into territory altogether foreign to American writers in her day. An introduction by Bergland and Williams traces the (re)discovery of Howes manuscript and the beginnings of commentary as word spread about this remarkable text. Mary Grant, an early reader, invokes the excitement and frontier spirit of womens history in the 1970s. Marianne Noble and Laura Saltz place the narrative within the frames of European and American Romanticism and of Howes other writings. Betsy Klimasmith, Williams, Bethany Schneider, and Joyce Warren explore connections between Howes novel and other ground-breaking nineteenth-century works on gender, sexuality, and relationship. Bergland and Suzanne Ashworth explore The Hermaphrodite s suggestive invocations of two other kinds of texts: sculpture and theology.

Primitive minds : evolution and spiritual experience in the Victorian novel Neill, Anna The Ohio State University Press, Edition Unstated, 2013-08-15
For twenty-first-century veterans of the evolution culture wars, Primitive Minds: Evolution and Spiritual Experience in the Victorian Novel, by Anna Neill, makes unlikely bedfellows of two Victorian "discoveries": evolutionary theory and spiritualism. Victorian science did much to uncover the physical substratum of mystical or dreamy experience, tracing spiritual states to a lower, reflex, or more evolutionarily primitive stage of consciousness. Yet science's pursuit of knowledge beyond sense-based evidence uncannily evoked powers associated with this primitive mind: the capacity to link events across space and time, to anticipate the future, to uncover elements of the forgotten past, and to see into the minds of others. Neill does not ask how the Victorians explained away spiritual experience through physiological psychology, but instead explores how physical explanation interacted with dreamy content in Victorian accounts of the mind's most exotic productions. This synthesis, she argues, was particularly acute in realist fiction, where, despite novelists' willingness to trace the nervous origins of individual behavior and its social consequences, activity in hidden regions of the mind enabled levels of perception inaccessible to ordinary waking thought. The authors in her study include Charlotte Brontë, Charles Dickens. George Eliot, Arthur Conan Doyle, and Thomas Hardy. Book jacket

Willing to Know God addresses the simultaneous flowering of mystical and literary vision texts in the Middle Ages by questioning how the vision was thought to work. What preconditions must be met in these texts for the vision to transform the visionary? And when, as in poems such as Pearl, this change does not occur, what exactly has gone wrong? Through close readings of medieval women’s visionary texts and English dream poems, Jessica Barr argues that the vision required the active as well as the passive participation of the visionary. In these texts, dreamers and visionaries must be volitionally united with the divine and employ their rational and analytic faculties in order to be transformed by the vision. Willing to Know God proposes that the study of medieval vision texts demands a new approach that takes into account both vision literature that has been supposed to have a basis in lived experience and visions that are typically read as fictional. It argues that these two “genres” in fact complement and inform one another. Rather than discrete literary modes, they are best read as engaged in an ongoing conversation about the human mind’s ability to grasp the divine.

Divergent Trajectories: Interviews with Innovative Fiction Writers by Flore Chevaillier examines the aesthetic, political, philosophical, and cultural dimensions of contemporary fiction through a series of interviews with some of today's most cutting-edge fiction writers. New relationships between literature, media culture, and hypertexts have added to modes of experimentation and reshaped the boundaries between literary and pop culture media; visual arts and literature; critical theory and fiction writing; and print and digital texts. This collection of interviews undertakes such experimentations through an intimate glance, allowing readers to learn about each writer's journey, as well as their aesthetic, political, and personal choices. Including interviews with R. M. Berry, Debra Di Blasi, Percival Everett, Thalia Field, Renee Gladman, Bhanu Kapil, Lance Olsen, Michael Martone, Carole Maso, Joseph McElroy, Christina Milletti, Alan Singer, and Steve Tomasula, Divergent Trajectories provides a framework that allows innovative authors to discuss in some depth their works, backgrounds, formal research, thematic preferences, genre treatment, aesthetic philosophies, dominant linguistic expressions, cultural trends, and the literary canon. Through an examination of these concepts, writers ask what “traditional” and “innovative” writing is, and most of all, what fiction is today.

She was then crushed to death by the Sabines’ shields and her body hurled from the Tarpeian Rock, which became the place from which subsequent traitors of the city were thrown. In this volume, Tara S. Welch explores the uses and contours of Tarpeia’s myth through several centuries of Roman history and across several types of ancient sources, including Latin and Greek texts in various genres. Welch demonstrates how ancient thinkers used Tarpeia’s myth to highlight matters of ethics, gender, ethnicity, political authority, language, conquest, and tradition. This cluster of themes reveals that Tarpeia’s myth is not primarily about what it means to be human, but rather what it means to be Roman. Thus Tarpeia’s story spans centuries, distances, genres, and modes of communication—Rome itself did. No Greek city-state could admit such continuity, and Greece was never so constant. In this way, though Tarpeia has a dozen Greek cousins whose stories are similar to hers, hers is a powerfully Roman myth, even for the Greeks who told her tale. She is token, totem, and symbol of Rome.

It is in part an exploration of the disparity between our conception of love as either true or false and the messy reality that it can sometimes be both. If “true” love is not to be found, is an approximation a “fair” substitute? These poems repeatedly question the veracity of memory—sometimes toying with the seductiveness of nostalgia while at other times pleading for the real story. Here, the fairy tale and the everyday nervously coexist, the bride is an uneasy molecule, and happiness comes in the form of a pill. Composed of acrostics from lines by Emily Dickinson, the collection retains a direct and recurrent tie to Dickinson’s work, even while Hazelton deftly branches off into new sonic, rhythmic, and conceptual territories.

Rereading the New Criticism Edited by Miranda B. Hickman and John D. McIntyre The Ohio State University Press, Columbus, OH, cop. 2012
Committed To Rigorous 'close Reading' And Engagement With The 'text Itself' Rather Than Information 'extrinsic' To The Text, John Crowe Ransom And A Group Of Colleagues In The American South Of The 1930s Established A Vanguard Approach To Literary Criticism They Called The'new Criticism.' By The 1940s, New Critical Methods Had Become The Dominant Pedagogy In Departments Of English At Colleges And Universities Across America, Enjoying Disciplinary Hegemony Until The Late 1960s, When An Influx Of New Theoretical Work In Literary Studies Left The New Criticism In Shadow. Inspired By A Range Of New Commentary Reconsidering The New Criticism (from Critics Including Jane Gallop, Terry Eagleton, Charles Altieri, And Camille Paglia), The Essays In Rereading The New Criticism Reevaluate The New Critical Corpus, Trace Its Legacy, And Explore Resources It Might Offer For The Future Of Theory, Criticism, And Pedagogy. Addressing The Work Of New Critics Such As Ransom, Cleanth Brooks, And Robert Penn Warren, As Well As Important Forerunners Of The New Critics Such As I. A. Richards And William Empson, These Ten Essays Shed New Light On The Genesis Of The New Criticism And Its Significant Contributions To The Development Of Academic Literary Studies In North America; Revisit Its Chief Arguments And Methods; Interrogate Received Ideas About The Movement; And Consider How Its Theories And Techniques Might Inform New Methodologies For Literary And Cultural Studies In The Twenty-first Century.--publisher's Description.

Narrative middles : navigating the nineteenth-century British novel Edited by Caroline Levine and Mario Ortiz-Robles The Ohio State University Press, Theory and interpretation of narrative, Theory and interpretation of narrative series, Columbus, Ohio, 2011
Narrative theorists have lavished attention on beginnings and endings, but they have too often neglected the middle of narratives. In this groundbreaking collection of essays, Narrative Middles: Navigating the Nineteenth-Century British Novel, nine literary scholars offer innovative approaches to the study of the underrepresented middle; of the vast, bulky nineteenth-century multiplot novel. Combining rigorous formal analysis with established sociohistorical methods, these essays seek to account for the various ways in which the novel gave shape to British cultures powerful obsession with middles. The capacious middle of the nineteenth-century novel provides ample room for intricately woven plots and the development of complex character systems, but it also becomes a medium for capturing, consecrating, and cultivating the middle class and its middling, middlebrow tastes as well as its mediating global role in empire. Narrative Middles explores these fascinating conjunctions in new readings of novels by Jane Austen, William Makepeace Thackeray, Anne Brontë, George Eliot, Charles Dickens, Wilkie Collins, Henry James, and William Mortis. Contributors: Amanda Claybaugh, Suzanne Daly, Amanpal Garcha, Amy King, Caroline Levine, Mario Ortiz-Robles, Kent Puckett, Hilary Schor, and Alex Woloch. Book jacket

Later, in adolescence, the scene moves to the fen country of East Anglia and focuses on a difficult father and a violent world. Part II centers on “Ars Amatoria” in its various manifestations: marriage, the family and children. Part III, Eschatology,” looks back but also forward. It moves through middle age to “Three Score and Then Some.” What it sees is “the River Jordan spreading across night sands,” friends and family no longer here. It ends with the title poem, set in New York’s western Catskill Mountains: “I look for ecstatic image/here below where the year is dying fiercely.”

Authors and texts often regarded as cosmopolitan, diasporic, or migrant actually challenge globalization’s tendency to treat nations as absolute and homogenous sociocultural entities. While social scientific theories of globalization after 1945 represent nationalism as antithetical to transnational economic and cultural flows, National Consciousness and Literary Cosmopolitics contends that postcolonial literature represents nationalism as a form of cosmopolitical engagement with what lies beyond the nation’s borders. Postcolonial literature never gave up on anticolonial nationalism but rather revised its meaning, extending the idea of the nation beyond an identity position into an interrogation of globalization and the neocolonial state through political consciousness and cultural critique. The literary cosmopolitics evident in the works of Kazuo Ishiguro, Derek Walcott, Shirley Geok-lin Lim, Preeta Samarasan, and Twan Eng Tan distinguish between an instrumental national identity and a critical nationality that negates the subordination of nationalism by neocolonial regimes and global capitalism. Through their formal innovations, these writers represent nationalism not as a monolithic or essentialized identity or body of people but as a cosmopolitical constellation of political, social, and cultural forces.

Tobin Grant and Thomas J. Rudolph argue that although public opinion plays a vital role in judicial rulings on the legalities of various finance reform options, political scientists have yet to realize fully the complexities and nuances of public attitudes toward campaign financing. The issue of campaign finance reform exposes a real conflict between the core democratic values of equality and expression. Economic inequalities, reformers argue, allow certain groups and individuals to exert undue influence in the political process, thereby threatening the democratic value of political equality. Opponents tend to frame the issue as a question of free speech: restrictions on campaign contributions are viewed as a threat to the democratic value of political expression. In the context of campaign finance, how do committed Americans rank the importance of equality and expression? How do they resolve the conflict between these competing democratic values? The answers to these questions, say the authors, depend heavily on whose influence and whose rights are perceived to be at stake. Using a series of unique experiments embedded in a national survey of the American electorate, they find that citizens’ commitment to the values of expression and equality in the campaign finance system is strongly influenced by their feelings or affect toward those whose rights and influence are perceived to be at stake. Freedom of speech is more highly valued in contexts where the respondent agrees with the issue in question; equity, on the other hand, is more highly valued when the respondent disagrees with the issue. These findings have implications not only for the continuing public debate over campaign finance reform, but also for our understanding of how citizens make tradeoffs between competing democratic values.

In the aftermath of the plague and the substantial cultural shifts of the late 1300s, female roles expanded temporarily. As a result, the dominant models of maiden, wife, and widow could no longer adequately describe women’s roles and lives. Middle English writers responded by experimenting with new ways of representing women across a variety of genres, from courtly poetry to devotional texts and from royal correspondence to cycle plays. In particular, writers coined new terms, including “womanhood” and “femininity,” and refashioned others, such as “motherhood.” These experiments allowed writers to develop and define a larger idea of womanhood underlying more specific identities like wife or mother and to re-imagine women’s relationships to different kinds of authority—generally masculine and frequently religious. By exploring the medieval origins of some of our most important gender vocabulary, Inventing Womanhood defamiliarizes our modern usage, which often treats those terms as etymologically transparent and almost limitlessly capacious. It also restores a necessary historical and linguistic dimension to gender studies, providing the groundwork for reconsidering how that language and the categories it creates have determined the ways in which gender has been imagined since the Middle Ages.

Blumberg offers a major reconsideration of the central Victorian ethic of self-sacrifice, suggesting that much of what we have taken to be the moral psychology of Victorian fiction may be understood in terms of the dramatic confrontation between Christian theology and the world of modern economic theory. As Victorian writers Charlotte Mary Yonge, Charles Dickens, George Eliot, Anthony Trollope, Wilkie Collins, and Mary Augusta Ward strove to forge a practicable ethics that would reconcile the influences of an evangelical Christianity and its emphasis on selfless charity with the forces of laissez-faire capitalism and its emphasis on individual profit, they moved away from the cherished ideal of painful, solitary self-sacrifice in service of another’s good. Instead, Blumberg suggests, major novelists sought an ethical realism characterized by the belief that virtuous action could serve the collective benefit of the parties involved. At a mid-century moment of economic optimism, novelists transformed the ethical landscape by imagining what the sociologist Herbert Spencer would later call a “measured egoism,” an ethically responsible self-concern which might foster communal solidarity and material abundance. Bringing the recent literary turns to ethics and to economics into mutual conversation, Blumberg offers us a new lens on a matter as pressing today as it was 150 years ago: the search for an ethics adequate to the hopes and fears of a new economy.

Little Men: Novellas And Stories (ohio State Univ Prize In Short Fiction) SHAPIRO. GERALD SHAPIRO The Ohio State University Press, Columbus (Ohio), 2004
Ira Mittelman, the middle-aged hero of "A Box of Ashes," one of two novellas in Little Men, is wrestling with a dilemma: should he fulfill his late father's dying wish by taking the old man's ashes back to Missouri, to scatter them on the grounds of Camp HaHaTonka, the Boy Scout camp where Ira spent several summers as a boy? It's a long way to go just to dump some ashes, and if Ira makes this pilgrimage, his absence might jeopardize the fragile relationship he's managed to maintain with his ex-wife (they're still having sex every Friday night). In "Spivak in Babylon," Little Men's other novella, it's 1982, and Leo Spivak, an ambitious 30-year-old copywriter at a large Chicago advertising agency, is about to get his big break: a chance to go to Hollywood to participate for the first time in the filming of a television commercial. A week in Hollywood, on the company's expense account! A room at the fabled Chateau Marmont (Garbo's old suite, in fact)! The only problem is the subject of the commercial itself: a new feminine hygiene spray to be marketed to pre-adolescent girls. Hovering over all the proceedings in "Spivak in Babylon" is the genial, befuddled presence of President Ronald Reagan, the Leader of the Free World, who haunts Leo's dreams.

After Testimony: The Ethics and Aesthetics of Holocaust Narrative for the Future (THEORY INTERPRETATION NARRATIV) Edited by Jakob Lothe, Susan Rubin Suleiman, and James Phelan The Ohio State University Press, Theory and interpretation of narrative, Theory and interpretation of narrative series, Columbus, Ohio, 2012
After Testimony: The Ethics and Aesthetics of Holocaust Narrative for the Future collects sixteen essays written with the awareness that we are on the verge of a historical shift in our relation to the Third Reich's programmatic genocide. Soon there will be no living survivors of the Holocaust, and therefore people not directly connected to the event must assume the full responsibility for representing it. The contributors believe that this shift has broad consequences for narratives of the Holocaust. By virtue of being "after" the accounts of survivors, storytellers must find their own ways of coming to terms with the historical reality that those testimonies have tried to communicate. The ethical and aesthetic dimensions of these stories will be especially crucial to their effectiveness. Guided by these principles and employing the tools of contemporary narrative theory, the contributors analyze a wide range of Holocaust narratives -- fictional and nonfictional, literary and filmic -- for the dual purpose of offering fresh insights and identifying issues and strategies likely to be significant in the future. In addition to the editors, the contributors are Daphna Erdinast-Vulcan, Sidra DeKoven Ezrahi, Anniken Greve, Jeremy Hawthorn, Marianne Hirsch, Irene Kacandes, Phillipe Mesnard, J.

The Afro-Bolivian Spanish determiner phrase : a microparametric account Sessarego, Sandro The Ohio State University Press, Theoretical developments in Hispanic linguistics, Columbus, 2014
"In this important new study, Sandro Sessarego provides a syntactic description of the Afro-Bolivian Spanish determiner phrase. Afro-Bolivian Spanish is one of the many Afro-Hispanic dialects spoken across Latin America and, from a theoretical point of view, is rich in constructions that would be considered ungrammatical in standard Spanish. Yet these constructions form the core grammar of these less-prestigious, but equally efficient, syntactic systems. Because of the wide variety of their usages, Sessarego's study of these contact varieties is particularly valuable in developing and refining theories of syntactic microvariation. This dialect presents phenomena that offer a real challenge to current linguistic theory. The Afro-Bolivian Spanish Determiner Phrase elaborates on the importance of enhancing a stronger dialogue between formal generative theory and sociolinguistic methodology, in line with recent work in the field of minimalist syntax. Sessarego's study combines sociolinguistic techniques of data collection with generative models of data analysis to obtain more fine-grained, empirically testable generalizations"-- Provided by publisher

This was a relatively new phenomenon, one that became possible only after American women writers had dismantled the conceptual frameworks that had authorized their artistic production since the early days of the Republic. Making the “America of Art” demonstrates that beginning in the 1850s, women writers challenged the terms of the Scottish Common Sense philosophy, which had made artistic endeavors acceptable in the new Republic by subordinating aesthetic motivation to moral and educational goals. Harriet Beecher Stowe and Augusta Jane Evans drew on Ruskin to argue for the creation of a religiously based national aesthetic. In the postbellum years Louisa May Alcott, Rebecca Harding Davis, Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, and Constance Fenimore Woolson continued the process in a series of writings that revolved around three central areas of concern: the place of the popular in the realm of high art; the role of the genius; and the legacy of the Civil War. Sofer significantly revises the history of 19th-century American women’s authorship by detailing the gradual process that produced women writers wholly identified with literary high culture at the century’s end. Sofer argues that, counter to conventional wisdom, American women writers produced a large body of theoretical writing on the central aesthetic questions of the day. Although the writers Sofer studies were finally unable to construct viable new models for women’s artistic production, their attempts to do so are an essential piece of American literary history.

In so honoring€Saving Lives,€Joe David Bellamy said as part of the NBCC citation, “If the essence of poetry is performing ‘feats of association,’ as Robert Frost used to claim, then Albert Goldbarth’s wild eclecticism is high art indeed because Goldbarth finds startling and intricate connections where no one else has thought to look. For him, nearly every poem is an opportunity to encompass the universe in all its randomness and bizarre beauty. He beguiles with many a bracing fact and with a conglomeration of emotion one could hardly imagine co-existing in such proximity—a vast architecture of desire and regret, anguish and knowledge, elation and elegy.” Now, in a book whose subjects range from the high gods of antiquity to the low blows of divorce-spite, and whose strategies move from a seven-line poem about birth to a twenty-page study of contemporary disjunction, Goldbarth expands triumphantly upon his earlier work. For all its lively variety, however,€Combinations of the Universe€is not so much a collection of separate pieces as a poet’s version—steeped in our human sweat and dazzle—of the cutting-edge physicist’s grand attempt to unify the far-flung elements of our human condition. In these pages you’re invited to join Rembrandt; Petrarch; painter Mary Cassatt, whose “looking never lied”; a retired astronaut; a number of flying saucer contactees; a baseball that’s really the Buddha; and the rest of the various population here (including your neighbors), on an adventure in twenty-first-century poetry.€Combinations of the Universe€is a gala volume from a writer of whom Judith Kitchen, in€Georgia Review,€said, “he just may be the American poet of his generation for the ages.”

<p><P>In <i>The Enemy Within</i>, Gilbert D. Chaitin deepens our understanding of the nature and sources of culture wars during the French Third Republic. The psychological trauma caused by the Ferry educational reform laws of 1880-1882, which strove to create a new national identity based on secular morality rather than God-given commandments, pitted Catholics against proponents of lay education and gave rise to novels by Bourget, Barr&egrave;s, A. France, and Zola. <P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; By deploying Lacanian concepts to understand the &ldquo;erotics of politics&rdquo; revealed in these novels, Chaitin examines the formation of national identity, offering a new intellectual history of the period and shedding light on the intimate relations among literature, education, philosophy, morality, and political order. The mechanisms described in <i>The Enemy Within</i> provide fresh insight into the affective structure of culture wars not only in the French Third Republic but elsewhere in the world today. <P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
