Abstract:
This essay revisits the apparent opposition between theater and the novel as well as the public actress and private heroine to identify what I call “virtuous theatricality” in Frances Burney’s conception of authorship. This term celebrates her complex appreciation for, and appropriation of, the theater and role playing in her novels. Building on recent work about celebrity actresses by Laura Engel, Felicity Nussbaum, Gill Perry, and others, I argue that Burney’s construction of authorial identity recalls the professional actress’s skillful negotiation between her public and private personas.

Abstract:
This paper aims to study the meanings of the heroine’s horse-faced mask in the story of Kaeo Na Ma. The two versions investigated here are the version composed by Prince Phuwanetnarinrit and that of the Ratcharoen written by Nai But and influenced by the former version. Since Prince Phuwanetnarinrit’s version firstly indicates that the heroine’s horse face can be removed, it is considered as a mask in this paper. Like other masks in Khon or masked drama, the horse face controls the behavior and personality of the wearer. This horse face not only signifies the heroine’s tomboyish manners as sta

Abstract:
A fad for female heroism emerged in the late Qing China as women were urgently mobilized to undertake the mission of ‘strengthening the nation and preserving the race.’ However, women reaching the modern standards of heroines were almost absent in China. Western heroines were then introduced into China as exemplars for Chinese women to emulate. The story of Madame Roland, the most prestigious Western heroine at that time, was appropriated to the political ends. The male-coded virtues of her were highlighted in conformity to the standards of heroines in late Qing China: hero-worship, patriotism

Abstract:
For Homer's Circe the story of Argo's voyage was already well known. Although we cannot be sure that the Odyssey's first audience was aware of Medea's role in Jason's story, we do know that by the time that Ovid came to write Heroides, she had already appeared in numerous Greek and Latin texts, in epic and lyric poetry and on the tragic stage. Given her complex textual and dramatic history, it seems hardly likely that any Ovidian Medea could actually be ‘a simple girl'. And yet precisely this charge of ‘simplicity’ has been levelled against Heroides 12 and its Active author. I propose to argue

Abstract:
The article studies how the principle of plot construction, based on the hero’s violation of moral norms, is implemented in practice. The portrayal of contradictory characters who make difficult moral choices, often wrong ones, is one of the main features of the novel genre. The plot is a chain of events, and an event is the character’s crossing of a certain boundary one way or another, and therefore the chronotope of the threshold (and perhaps not literally realized) becomes more important in the novel. The heroine of the novel “Harassment” constantly finds herself on the threshold of a moral

In the story, Butsaba, the heroine, is disguised by her divine ancestor, Patarakala, as a young man named Unakan. The study reveals that Unakan possesses the characteristics of both hero and heroine. By portraying the roles as parallel to Inao, the hero of the story, Unakan is a great warrior and a dignified hero who has irresistible charm to women. She also searches for the los

Abstract:
The paper suggests new interpretations of the meaning and structure of Anna Akhmatova’s early lyrics, in which “the moment of truth” for the heroine comes as if beyond consciousness, during movement and direct contemplation of the world. Free moving of a lyrical “self” by land and water either precedes the romance or provides a specific signal of a heroine’s spiritual rebirth afterwards. Thus, Akhmatova literally “goes beyond” usual woman’s poetic experience of love and separation: the heroine feels guilty about her earthly love; at the moment of a breakup she learns more about the pains of cr

Abstract:
It is a characteristic of Ovid's Heroides for each epistle implicitly to establish the dramatic time, context and motive for its composition by the particular heroine to whom it is attributed. In this way the poet is able to exploit the tension between the heroine's inevitably circumscribed awareness of the development of her story and the superior information which can be deployed by a reader acquainted with the mythical tradition or master-text which dictates what is actually going to follow: Penelope hands over a letter to a man whom the reader familiar with Homer can identify as Ulysses ev

In this dissertation I explore a number of contemporary science fiction franchises in order to ascertain how the figure of the action heroine has evolved throughout her recent history. There has been a tendency in film criticism to view these strong women as ‘figuratively male’ and therefore not ‘really’ women, which, I argue, is largely due to a reliance on the psychoanalytic paradigms that have dominated feminist film theory since its beginnings.

Abstract:
John le Carré’s novels “The Spy Who Came in From the Cold” (1963), “Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy” (1974), and “The Tailor of Panama” (1997), focus on how the main characters reflect the somber reality of working in the British intelligence service. Through a broad post-structuralist analysis, I will identify the dichotomies - good/evil in “The Spy Who Came in From the Cold,” past/future in “Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy,” and institution/individual in “The Tailor of Panama” - that frame the role of the protagonists. Each character is defined by his ambiguity and swinging moral compass, transfor

Abstract:
Unlike other heroines of the Greek romantic novels, who are consistently chaste, the heroine of Achilles Tatius’ novel Leucippe and Clitophon displays a (temporary) lack of sexual reticence; she also possesses musical talent. These features are central to her characterization in the novel’s first two books, which, incidentally, bear the distinct influence of Roman love elegy. It is argued here that Leucippe is purposedly fashioned in the early part of the novel as a puella docta, the type of idealised artistic lady with libertine traits that arouses erotic passion in the Augustan love poets.

Of the two major reappearances of Callirhoe’s tomb, at Miletus and Syracuse, the former (real) reproduces and the latter (metaphorical) inverts the initial burial.

Austen seems to operate in a limited landscape and writes about what she is most familiar with birth, love, marriage, death, faith, and judgment.
