The article analyzes the artistic features of Diderot and Sade’s philosophical dialogues, which allow authors to convey innovative ideas to readers, to turn a serious treatise into a fascinating theatrical show. These works (Diderot’s D’Alembert’s Dream (1769, publ. 1830–1831) and Conversation of a philosopher with the Maréchale de *** (1774, publ. 1775); Marquis de Sade’s Dialogue between a priest and a dying man (1782) and Philosophy in the Boudoir (1785)) are united not only by a dialogical form, but also by the original use of such rhetorical figures as fantasy and evidence, thanks to whic

The article justifies that, using well-known dramatic techniques, Tatyana Moskvina was able to create an original type of an “epistolary play” on documentary material. The material for her was the correspondence of the actress Angelina Stepanova and the playwright Nikolai Erdman, Stepanova's memories, and Erdman's texts. All this was carefully selected. Moskvina saw and highlighted in these documents symbolic details that were enlarged in the play due to repetitions, leitmotifs, and comments of the Human Note (a character introduced into the composition to explain historical and biographical r

Abstract:
Raymond Chandler relished finding names for his quirky characters, including Philip Marlowe, the pipe-smoking, chess-playing private eye—a literary kinsman to Sam Spade, Dashiell Hammett’s solitary sleuth—whom I first met in the pages of fiction as a teenager and whom I have known more than fifty years. Sometimes the names are dead giveaways about the morality or immorality of the character, sometimes they’re opaque, but I’ve always found them intriguing and an open invitation to try to solve the mystery myself.

Abstract:
Abstract This essay revisits the question of the fictional person, largely by way of Proust’s claim that the novel offers us nonexistent persons the better to espouse vision through other eyes: knowledge of the world as experienced by another consciousness. If the New Critical stricture against taking fictional characters as real beings—something other than writing on a page—is correct, it does not account for the way in which we imagine, make use of, and interact with the minds of literary characters. Yet Proust’s understanding of the fictional being cohabits with the inevitable death of real

Abstract:
In her examination of signing characters in works of Charles Dickens and Wilkie Collins, Jennifer Esmail highlights deaf characters’ absence in Victorian fiction. Mutism is more common, for example, in the character of Mary Elizabeth Braddon's working-class, fingerspelling Detective Peters (70, 10n24). Even so, sign language – seen as ‘primitive’ and ‘lacking [in] intellectual […] rigor’ – was rarely represented (Esmail 3). Dickens, Collins and Braddon, proto-detective novelists themselves, were preceded by Catherine Crowe, whose 1841 novel Susan Hopley features Julie le Moine, a female, cross

By comparing how an independent Namibia is imagined during South African apartheid rule, during the Liberation Struggle, and post-independence, the novels open up perspectives that empirical studies may overlook or decide not to emphasise.

Abstract:
Stylistics combines both a granular and global approach to works of literature. Through analysis of linguistic and semantic patterns in a text, stylistics explores how authors construct a fictional text world and populate it with vividly realized characters. In this article, I adopt a corpus-stylistic approach to William Faulkner’s The Hamlet. Through identification of high-frequency words and close reading of their concordances, I explore what the data reveals about Faulkner’s thematic concerns in the novel and how his linguistic strategies convey them to the reader.

Both Chinese and foreign writers cast their eyes on China during the early twentieth-century, when China was at an intersection of feudalism and modernism. They depicted and recorded this complex period from their own perspectives in different literary forms. Among them, Mao Dun and Maugham present the 1920s and 1930s China from different angles through their literary works Midnight and On a Chinese Screen, respectively. There are lots of research analyzing the two works from various perspectives, but few put them together by doing comparative studies of the early twentieth-century Chinese soc

Abstract A discursive mix of journalism, advertising, and fiction have promoted television as a modern hearth, but the scenes above imply radically different meanings. Each individual watching television in these scenes is alone. The hearth, so visual, so concrete and inclusive, seems like television’s compleat cultural emblem-until we encounter the lone viewer trying to lessen his or her isolation by turning on television.

In Marivaux’s plays and fictional memoirs, the somatic vocabulary is quite limited and mostly refers to the ‘face’, the ‘eyes’ and the ‘hands’ of the characters. The ‘belly’ is rarely mentioned, except in order to describe the gluttony of servants and peasants. ‘Paunch’, ‘potbelly’ and ‘innards’, on the other hand, punctuate two parodic works Marivaux wrote at the beginning of his career: L’Homère travesti and Le Télémaque travesti.

Abstract Trying to bring conceptual order to cop and detective movies is like trying to classify a proliferating form of life--one with hundreds of individual examples-using an obsolete taxonomy. Detective movies alone encompass half a dozen subtypes: amateur sleuth films; films about private eyes, private security agents, and plainclothes police detectives; victim-turned-hunter films; and movies more generally classified as noirs, neo-noirs, and whodunits or mysteries. Cop movies include even more subtypes: action films; aging cop films; the blaxploitation or black cop films of the early 1970

Chapter three discusses narrative affects in Oliphant’s Salem Chapel and Collins’s Armadale by way of sensational newspapers, trials, and gossip. I employ Lisa Zunshine’s notion of embodied transparency to argue that in both public and private spaces, the body becomes a site of emotional legibility. Yet Oliphant and Collins expose that very invitation, so vital to the genre of sensationalism, as violating. In Salem Chapel, Oliphant questions sensationalism’s reliance on voyeuristic thrills, and specifically its treatment of women’s bodies as the source of such voyeurism. While Armadale betrays

It analyses, in particular, how the dual rendering of ‘Smoke Gets in Your Eyes’ in song by the Irene Dunne character and in dance by the Astaire and Rogers characters giv
