Abstract:

Robert L. Mack’s coda, a memoir in miniature, demonstrates why penny fiction should matter to global popular audiences today. Mack recovers an important moment in the history of the metafictional transmedia traditions that penny fiction generated: the 1979 appearance of Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler’s revolutionary Broadway operetta Sweeney Todd, the Demon Barber of Fleet Street, a Musical Thriller. With Sweeney Todd’s premiere, the murderous barber got his chance to go global and succeeded terrifically. Drawing upon journalism, archival evidence, and personal experience, Mack reconstructs

Abstract:

Questions of identity, power, autonomy and vulnerability carry a particular weight in cultures that have emerged from colonialism. Although few writers of fiction focus on the conflicts between African and European characters, a focus on power and marginalisation remains. One category in which this focus may be plainly seen is writing for and about young people. The study’s aim was to analyse young adult fiction written by a Ugandan female author, Barbara Kimenye to investigate this writing to find out how young adult vulnerability is depicted in literature. Although literature targeting young

Abstract:

<em>The present paper is an attempt to focus on the social norms which are reflected in the mystery   with specific reference in fictional work of the acclaimed British Woman Novelist. Ruth Rendell is known as the second queen of mystery fiction. Rendell uses her mystery literature to illustrate a number of issues. She employs enigma, suspense, crime, and murder in her novels. Even though she was a female novelist, she was just as adept at expressing today's societal themes as male novelists. She often made the Sunday Times bestseller list. Her best-selling books include standalone p

Abstract:

Phyllis Barber was raised as a member of the Mormon Church. In her fiction and in her autobiographies this is an important element opening suitable realms to analyze her literature. Here I aim at analyzing her contribution to Mormon feminist tradition. In her latest autobiography, Raw Edges: A Memoir, Barber approaches marriage as an institution, helping to illustrate the relevance that certain gender roles still have within Mormon culture. Through the confession of her own failure, Barber echoes former references to penetrate into topics dealing with gender issues within Mormon culture.

Abstract:

In the contemporary postmodern era, the boundaries that once rigidly separated well-established genres have become more fluid, resulting in what scholars Raffaella Baccolini and Tom Moylan call ‘genre-blurring’. This phenomenon of incorporating elements from diverse genres represents a challenge to dominant ideologies and expands the possibilities within fictional texts. The dystopian fiction written by feminist writers towards the end of the twentieth century and beyond significantly exemplifies this form of hybrid textuality. In doing so, these writers seek to renovate the dystopian genre by

Abstract:

Through its play on the limits of fictional genre which underlines the constructedness of genre categories, The Wives of Bath envisages gender itself as an arbitrary construct. Through a series of inversions, crossings and diverse literary encodings the textual strategies at work in the narrative not only problematize the notion of literary genres, they also point to gender itself as a “fiction”. But The Wives of Bath goes further ; through its playing on the boundaries of representation, and its playing with categories of gender, it ironizes any possible unitary narrative of Canada’s national

Abstract:

Focusing on the masked rapper MF Doom, this article uses Karen E. Fields and Barbara J. Fields’s concept of “racecraft” to theorize how the insidious fiction called “race” shapes and reshapes popular “Black” music. Rap is a mode of racecraft that speculatively binds or “crafts” historical musical forms to “natural,” bio-geographical and -cultural traits. The result is a music that counts as authentic and “real” to the degree that it sounds “Black,” on the one hand, and a “Blackness” that naturally expresses itself in rap, on the other. The case of MF Doom illustrates how racialized peoples can

Climate change, together with terrorism, economic depressions, and mass-destructive weaponry, is a source of international phobia for many people. The advancement in technology increases the competition among world powers and economic systems to develop their industrial enterprises. The smoke that emits from the factories, the pollution caused by the industrial projects, the excessive use of green gas result in the increase of global warming and have catastrophic effects on the ecosphere of the planet. Besides, man’s wrong practices even in agricultural matters are exhausting the natural resou

Abstract:

Descriptions of food are very prominent in Barbara Pym's twelve novels. They are used on one hand for purely comic purposes. But more significantly, they evolve into a language with a structure and set of rules. To expose the language of food inherent in Pym's fiction, I have employed a combination of social history, structural anthropology and semiology. Roland Barthes' application of structural linguistics to food, and his concern with its' symbolic nature hold particular bearing to this study. The language of food functions on three interrelated levels in Pym: a social level where groups ar

Abstract:

Despite Barbara Kingsolver's ability to create unique characters and storylines, two factors remain constant throughout each of her novels: strong female protagonists and conflict resolution. Though conflict exists in almost all fiction, the way that Kingsolver's characters deal with their situations often speaks louder than any other aspect of her writing. Moreover, though her characters often vary wildly from story to story, their methods of conflict resolution seem to undoubtedly connect them. Through her continuing desire to emphasize "the question of individualism and communal identity,"

Abstract:

This thesis examines Barbara Pym's treatment of a critically-documented theme, food, as it intersects with gender within her oeuvre. By mapping the subversive quality that her fiction achieves through the ironic exposition of cultural myths relating to food and its gender implications, it offers an alternative critical perspective on Pym, formulated in opposition to the traditionalist hegemony that seeks to 'protect' her from feminists. The study begins by exploring the historical and material conditions of Pym's rejection and 're-discovery', and the invention of her reputation by her literary

This is the first full-length scholarly work dedicated to the fiction of Kentucky-raised feminist activist and trained biologist Barbara Kingsolver. Interrogating the political efficacy of the work of an author who proclaims that art “should be political” and that “literature should inform as well as enlighten”, this thesis explores the ways in which Kingsolver positions herself variously as an environmentalist, liberal, communitarian, feminist and agrarian. It unpacks the author’s issues-based approach to writing fiction and its effect on her commercial popularity and through close readings o

Barbey d’Aurevilly, Bloy et Bernanos s’inscrivent ainsi dans le sillage de Chateaubriand, qui opéra le premier, avec le Génie du Christianisme, ce renversement fondateur.

Abstract:

Abstract Byatt’s writing recurrently crosses borders between disciplines. Recent critical studies, like those by Emilie Walezak and Barbara Franchi, have seen this epistemological reassemblage as concurring, in Byatt’s fiction of the 2000s, with an ontological remodelling that increasingly approaches the human in nonhuman terms. In this light, my essay traces the evolution of Byatt’s short fiction towards the “onto-story”/“onto-tale”—terms coined by Jane Bennett to describe her narrative in Vibrant Matter (2010) and that can be applied, I contend, to fictional narratives that similarly challen

Ses romans accueillent la puissance du mystère et le tourment de la foi ; ils interrogent l’inexplicable lien entre le visible et l’invisible, l’immense et l’infime, le charnel et le spirituel, le sublimis et l’humilis. Les transports de l’imagination, ici, ne se réduisent pas à quelques fantaisies ludiques : ils illustrent la puissance spéculative de la fiction.

Jessie Morrow, the paid companion of the elderly Miss Doggett, is a prominent character in Barbara Pym’s fictional world. The first time Pym wrote about Jessie was in a 1939-40 draft of Crampton Hodnet, and the final iteration (and the only contemporaneously published version) of Jessie is in Jane and Prudence (1953). In between these two appearances of Jessie, Pym created similar companion characters. In the span of roughly ten years, Pym’s characterisation of the companion significantly changed via these variants across her manuscripts and typescripts. There is minimal scholarship that exami
