Abstract:

This article examines the intertextuality of verbal and visual elements in “The Seven Ages of Childhood,” a series of seven paintings by Jessie Willcox Smith reproduced in The Ladies’ Home Journal in 1908–09, and then bound in book form. Drawing on sources including Smith’s biography, The Ladies’ Home Journal, the captions for each piece (modelled on lines from Shakespeare’s As You Like It), and Carolyn Well’s verse contributions to the book form, this article argues that “Seven Ages” contains a subversive critique of the traditional teleological arc of girlhood, the aim of which was marriagea

Abstract:

AbstractThis review-essay explores the theoretical and methodological innovations of Richard Godden’s William Faulkner, arguing that it makes a signal contribution to historical materialism in literary studies. The article focuses on Godden’s concept of ‘generative structure’, and relates the term to earlier usages by Aglietta and Jameson. After summarising the close readings of Faulkner’s texts performed by Godden, the article suggests an expanded rôle for biography in making the linkages between economy, psyche and text which form the basis of Godden’s analysis.

Not blindness itself, but blindness as a symptom for an inner seeing and as a counterforce against a one-sided fixation on beauty and taste were the reasons why Marcel Duchamp from 1916 onwards was occupied with the theme of blindness. Two volumes of The Blind Man were displayed in 1917 on the exhibition of the Society of Independent Artists in New York. The second volume contained comments about the fact that Duchamp’s contribution of a Fountain, his now so famous ready-made Urinoir, signed “R.

The paper focuses on the relations between Mass Observation Reports, and the contemporary sociological valuing of articulacy, salience and coherence in participants’ accounts.

First, to show how research participants’ contributions have valuable attributes that do not always fit neatly into conventional analytic frame. Second, to highlight how ‘awkward’ data challenge the literary conventions of sociological production. T

This style of writing was very popular in the middle ages and usually served to emphasize the holiness of a person’s life, i.e. to demonstrate an exemplary life of Christian virtues rather than as an attempt to concentrate on biographical details.

Through a literary survey of legal biography, it claims a tension between intellectual and empirical approaches that parody the tension between the internal and external traditions in legal history.

Abstract:

This essay is written as part of a debate related to the biography as genre, following the publishing of my biography Havmannens datter. Regine Normann - et livsløp [The merman's daughter. Regine Normann - a life story] (1997). On one hand the essay contains arguments related to this specific biography. On the other hand, it contains general points of view related to biography as genre. The author defines biography as a written life-story about a person different from the biographer himself or herself. A biography is a work according to historical methods, as it is based on historical sources

Abstract:

This essay outlines the comprehensive theory of “modern” eighteenth-century biography that was articulated throughout the century in the often lengthy prefaces to collections of lives, disseminated in periodical essays, and applied in reviews to stand-alone lives. This theory addressed the proper selection, presentation, and treatment of both individual and collected “lives.” It gave biography national, historical, commercial, and educational functions; detailed the components of its life-historical narrative and of its critical portions; set standards for what constituted “a fair and full acc

ABSTRACT This article concerns the return of the literary biography in the humanistic fields, especially in Danish literary research, since 1980. During the New Criticism in the 1960s biography was regarded as a superfluous genre, and during the neoMarxism of the 1970s as a naive genre. But around 1980 it returned in the form of a number of new scholarly works especially in the fields of literature and history. This article points to two elements in the postmodern Zeitgeist which might have played a role in promoting the return of biography: first, the collapse of the grand systems of interpre

The article aims at exploring and analyzing the sketch-writing in Anees, a biography written by Nayyar Masood.

The reason to see such sketches is to know how importance given by the biographer to those influencing the life and time of the hero of the biography. A successful biography is what in which the time and life of the hero appeared vividly as it leads readers to understand the era, literary culture of the time, political atmosphere and various linguistic trends.

Abstract: Prompted by recent feminist recovery efforts, this essay traces and considers Assia Wevill (1927–1969) as a noteworthy woman writer, whose life and literary contributions were influenced and inspired by the Pulitzer Prize–winning Sylvia Plath (1932–1963) and the former British Poet Laureate Ted Hughes (1930–1998). Reflecting on the manner in which Assia has been understood as a femme fatale archetype, the article seeks to reframe our understanding of her life primarily and her work secondarily by foregrounding them in her own words. While Assia has conventionally been approached as a

Abstract:

The global trend of digitalization and publishing of historical sources, in particular fiction and its existence in different eras, makes the reader constantly reconsider the lives and work of persons who are regarded as prototypes of characters in literary works. As a result, an artistic image, linked to real life and rooted in the past, generates a consistent literary story in the form of artistic biography. The number and variety of such literary works, including dramatic ones, is constantly growing, which determines the topicality of this study. Over the recent decades, biographical fictio

Abstract: Angela Bianchini—in particular in her fiction—presents a multifaceted America, one which, while bearing clear parallels with her biography, progressively reflects her protagonists' search for independence and their realization of a literary vocation. Likewise, her essays often make room for dense and elegantly thought-provoking American sections, which extol women's contributions to U.S. history. Genre variations and gendered points of view figure among the chief components of her major quasi-trilogy, which deserves critical reapprisal especially for her contribution to imagining tra

Abstract:

Any meaningful assessment of biography and autobiography writing among the Swahili as a historical source needs to take at least three factors into consideration. The first is the influence of Arab literary traditions on the emergence of the genre on the East African coast; the second is the relationship between literacy and orality, and its implication for writing and narration in an African context. The role of colonialism, and the introduction of the Western “mode” of biography and autobiography writing, forms the third factor. The aim of the paper is to survey these factors, not chronologi

This passage is in fact a summary of conclusions that Eusebius has already reached in the contributions to apostolic biography with which he supplements the Book of Acts in HE 2.1–3.24.
