This article analyzes the reception of the figure of O. Wilde, the 19th-century English writer, and his works in the prose and criticism of Alexandra Mikhailovna Moiseeva (1874-1913), who entered the history of Russian literature of the Silver Age by the name of “Mire”. The study focuses mainly on her story Black Panther (1909), in which the author provides an original perspective on the tragic love episode in Wilde’s life. Attention is also paid to the thematic similarities between the works of Wilde and Mire in terms of genre, plot and literary image, as well as Mire’s interpretation of Wild

The article focuses on estimating the influence of Rudyard Kipling’s figure on the works of his younger contemporary, the American Frank Norris. The author comes to the conclusion that the English writer fundamentally determined his literary follower’s development vector. Kipling who has become extremely popular among American readers raises Norris’s interest toward neo-romantic short story. The early stage of Norris’s work is noted by Kipling’s powerful influence and the article reveals common plot, compositional and stylistic elements in their works.

Abstract:
Abstract Satire and war have a longstanding literal and metaphoric relationship. Satire has long been the medium to criticize war, while also being figured itself as literary ‘warfare.’ This essay examines the interplay between war and satire in two early modern English prose texts, Thomas Nashe’s The vnfortunate trauller (1594) and Thomas Dekker’s Worke for armorours (1609). Both writers contributed satirical works to literary ‘wars’ of the period, but this essay moves away from their literary feuds and argues that Nashe and Dekker’s prose employ sites of war as settings for social satire and

Abstract:
It is a cardinal tenet of classical textual criticism that medieval scribes were most prone to error when copying from an unfamiliar system of script. Accordingly a good deal of attention has been given by classical scholars to what happens to a text when it is copied from one system of script to another, and to the characteristic sorts of error which such copying involves. The great French textual critic, Alphonse Dain, even coined a Greek term,metacharakterismos(μεταχαρακτηρισμός), to describe the scribal process of copying, character by character, from one script to anodier.

Abstract This article describes a tradition of early medieval cosmological thought in the prose and poetry of the Old English corpus. This Old English cosmology uses a small set of cosmological building blocks and a relatively limited vocabulary to describe and explore a variety of structural models of the Universe. In these texts – which include but are not limited to the Old English Prose Boethius, Ælfric’s De temporibus Anni, the Old English Phoenix, and The Order of the World – each structural model relies on a combination of terms for heaven, the firmament, and a cosmic-scale ocean and se

Prose works range from grave novelistic explorations of female subjectivity to short story collections intent on capturing historical injustices and the experiences of migration.

Abstract:
Robert Greene began collaborating with Thomas Nashe as English prose was turning away from the style and subject matter of Lyly's Euphues (1578) and Sidney's Arcadia (1590). When Greene and Nashe came together in London, the two writers appear to have set the tone for the pamphleteers who would establish the realistic tradition that contributed to the development of the novel. Greene's Menaphon (1589) may be a satire representing his abandonment of courtly fiction. The influence of the Marprelate controversy is reflected in Greene's appeals to the pragmatic character of the emerging literate m

Abstract:
Abstract Religious prose was produced in abundance throughout the whole of this period; surviving examples of secular prose on the other hand are few, and limited to the latter part of the fourteenth century, with the solitary exception of the work with which we begin our survey. This—the later part of The Peterborough Chronicle—has a direct and interesting relationship with pre-Conquest literary culture, for it is a continuation of that remarkable achievement of Old English learning, The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. After the Norman Conquest, a continuation of this was kept up at Worcester, a famous traditional centre of learning, but only up to 1080. At the monastery of Peterborough, however, a text of The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle was continued over the years from II 21 to II 54, and the events of post-Conquest history were recorded in it. It is usual to distinguish two ‘continuations’ —the ‘first’, covering the years 1122—31, and the ‘final continuation’ for the years 1132—54-both of which are believed to have been composed as well as copied at Peterborough. The value of this part of the text for historians of the English language is inestimable; it affords a wealth of information on changing sounds, inflexions, and vocabulary (it is here, for instance, that the new form of the feminine personal pronoun ‘she’ emerges, spelt sere). Its historical and literary interest is not at first glance so obvious. ‘Disappointingly brief and provincial in outlook’ is the verdict of one modern historian.*:It is certainly true that it cannot compete with contemporary histories written in Latin, such as the Historia Ecclesiastica of Ordericus Vitalis, which records the turbulent deeds of the Normans with vivid detail and gives in addition a remarkable panoramic view of Anglo-Norman society and its wider European relationships, or the even more distinguished Gesta Regum Anglorum of the scholar William of Malmesbury, whose erudition is accompanied by a power of incisive analysis and a remarkable awareness of men’s motives and the workings of self-interest.
