Kass, Kersti L. "Regarding Henry : performing kingship in Henry V." Thesis, McGill University, 2003. http://digitool.Library.McGill.CA:80/R/?func=dbin-jump-full&object_id=79954.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis seeks to examine not any single theory of kingship in Shakespeare's 'Henriad', but the evolving methods of its representation from Richard II's assumed embodiment of monarchic authority to Henry V's unapologetic performance of the kingly role. As well, it explores how a shared awareness of authority's performed nature forces the spectator into knowing her own creative authority and in doing so, heightens not only the tension between gazer and gazed-upon, but also lays bare the spectator's need to watch a desired object and the performing object's overarching wish to be watched. The paper's critical foundation ranges from phenomenological approaches to the theatre and gender performance to studies on the spectacle of kingship.

Moore, Robbie. "The hotel in fiction from Henry James to Henry Green." Thesis, University of Cambridge, 2012. https://www.repository.cam.ac.uk/handle/1810/265546.

Full text

Abstract:

This dissertation argues for the central importance of the industrial luxury hotel from the Second Industrial Revolution to the Second World War, charting its exuberant and anxious rise in the novels of Henry James and the decline of its cultural pre-eminence in Henry Green's Party Going. It argues that the hotel constituted corporate space, financed by limited liability companies and operated by an alienated workforce. Hotels offered a rare and often troubling experience: the possibility of living inside a corporation. The aim of this study is twofold: to examine the radical effects of these intimate encounters with the impersonal on daily life; and to examine their effect on the construction and the texture of the novel as a literary form. The dissertation follows the arc of history from early to late James, through F Scott Fitzgerald, Elizabeth Bowen and Henry Green, charting a series of shifting representational strategies as writers grappled with the hotel's increasing abstraction and fluidity. The hotel became, for these writers, a laboratory for the representation of milieu, and a means of concretely exploring the relations of individuals within a cellular network. With a particular emphasis on material history and the representation of space and spatiality, this dissertation takes its cue from theorists of material culture and sociologists of everyday life, while also exploring cinema, economic history, and architectural history.

Rix, A. C. "Transport in Henry James." Thesis, University College London (University of London), 2014. http://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/1428636/.

Full text

Abstract:

This dissertation explores the relationship between transport and representation in James’s later fiction. Each chapter adopts a particular route: by carriage, boat, train, bicycle and automobile, examining its function and resonance within the Jamesian narrative. Texts discussed include What Maisie Knew (1897), The Sacred Fount (1901), The Ambassadors (1903), and The Golden Bowl (1904), as well as lesser-known tales such as ‘The Patagonia’ (1888), ‘The Papers’ (1903), and ‘The Velvet Glove’ (1903). The thesis assumes a historical basis, addressing the considerable developments in transportation that occurred between the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and their appreciable impact upon manners and readerships. James’s texts are read alongside the bicycle’s association with media and print culture, the literature known as ‘railway reading’, and the cabby’s superior knowledge of geographical and sexual ‘relations’, as enlisted by the detective story and divorce-court narrative. At the same time, the project seeks to draw attention to the consonance between transport and the Jamesian, countering longstanding treatments of the author’s characters, person and aesthetic as implicitly static. As I argue, transport is not only materially crucial to James’s fictions, but informs aspects of style or subject deemed characteristically Jamesian: a preoccupation with belatedness (for the train traveller), an aversion to exposure or publicity (for the cyclist), and the cab journey’s association with a local and costly knowledge. Above all, I will argue, transport articulates James’s complex preoccupation with relationality, an investment which ranges from the intense subjectivity of his fictional worlds to their series of transatlantic encounters.

Abstract:

Henry Darger (1892-1973), incarcerated as a boy, isolated and unknown during his life, has, in death, become one of the world's most well-known outsider artists. What do the work, life and afterlife of Henry Darger tell us about the ways normative society, and the disabled themselves, deal with mental disability? I claim there is something about disability--in this case psychological disability--that is challenging to the normative "healthy" person or social institution. Some of those challenges are obvious and practical; some are more metaphysical. Darger embodied both kinds of challenge: while alive he made strange noises, refused to bathe and avoided social interaction. When dead, he left a legacy of images and text that fascinates us, that we seek to enjoy and profit from, but which is also unsettling and even horrifying. I examine Darger's life and work, in the context of his psychological disability, and some social and critical strategies applied to him. This thesis details how critics, curators, academics and helping professionals used, and continue to use, a series of strategies: political/bureaucratic, religious/theological, and aesthetic/commodifying to dissolve the discomfort Henry Darger's presence and work created and still creates for us.

Coulson, V. C. "Women, realism, and Henry James." Thesis, University of Cambridge, 2002. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.598066.

Full text

Abstract:

The thesis explores the textually-mediated relationships between Henry James and three of his most important female friends: novelists Constance Fenimore Woolson and Edith Wharton, and Henry's sister Alice, author of a significant Diary. These seemingly disparate writers draw together in their affinity for a certain form of realist representation. I argue that what I call 'Jamesian realism' is a mode of representation characterised by the productive ambivalence of its distinctive semiotic structures; it is especially hospitable to the expression and negotiation of ambivalence towards authority. In particular, this is the ambivalence towards gendered and sexualised authority experienced by the women writers whose otherwise inarticulable resistance to the social and psychological imperatives of femininity engaged with James's own gender discomforts and imaginative affiliation with women. With the exception of Alice's interest in Irish politics, Woolson, Wharton, and Alice James were social conservatives who never identified themselves with any form of avowed feminist thought; they were the last generation of intellectually ambitious women for whom a socially acceptable engagement with gender politics was unthinkable. For each, there was a disjunction between her conscious commitment to conservative values, and her lived experience of the social and psychological disentitlements that nevertheless ensued. Alice, Edith, and Constance found in Jamesian realism a mode of representation through which they could express the restiveness and self-division that each has experienced within herself, as well as in relation to her female critics and rivals. Jamesian realism is a representational form through which each woman negotiates her ambivalent sense of exclusion and reprieve, her conflicting impulses towards complying with, and resisting, authority.

Abstract:

L'influence exercée par l'antiquité classique sur la personnalité et l'œuvre de Henry de Montherlant est clairement révélée par l'analyse de sa biographie, et surtout par l'étude des thèmes principaux de l'œuvre ainsi que des écrits consacrés par l'auteur à l'antiquité, si on les confronte à leurs sources antiques. Henry de Montherlant apparait alors comme l'un des écrivains contemporains qui auront le plus manifestement prouvé la permanence dans les lettres françaises de la civilisation gréco-romaine
The influence exerted on Montherlant's personality and works by antiquity is clearly revealed by the perusal of his biography and above all of the main themes as well as the pieces of writing dealing with antiquity, should they be confronted with their antique sources. Henry de Montherlant is thus emerging as one of the contemporary writers that would have demonstrated in the most obvious way the permanence of greco-latin civilization in French literature

Scott-Kemball, Simon. "Henry Green : the unstable vision." Thesis, University of Edinburgh, 1999. http://hdl.handle.net/1842/22622.

Full text

Abstract:

The first chapter looks at how Green's autobiography tests the concept of a stable self and influences his subsequent representation of character in his novels, where the human subject is increasingly exposed as a construct of words, dissolved in the structures of language and society. In the second chapter I examine the idea of instability as stimulus, looking at how the unstable vision was nurtured during a wartime London under bombardment and blackout, a state of flux which Green would reinterpret as an 'absolute gift'. The third chapter is divided into two parts of which the first half assesses Green's proto-structuralist investigation of the printed word; a progressive questioning of language and textual representation, whereas the second part examines the instability of voice, narration, and authority in Green's fiction. The fourth of my chapters offers a structural analysis of Green's texts, assessing the presence of structural irregularity and temporal friction in the fiction which, I propose, constitutes an unstable aesthetic, in which errors and inconsistencies are regarded as desirable. Finally, chapter five specifically focuses upon Green's novels and theoretical statements from the 1950s, showing how the unstable vision reaches its corollary in his stringently 'non-representational' novels, Nothing and Doting. These novels aspire to a new 'absolute minimum' which, I contend, directly anticipates a new development in fiction, the French nouveau roman. Through this intriguing convergence I hope to suggest how Green's epistemological uncertainties potentially bridge the gap between his modernist heritage and postmodern thought.

Abstract:

De l'enquête biographique menée sur Henry Humbert ne ressortent que quelques dates, points de repère nettement insuffisants pour reconstituer de façon cohérente la trame de son existence. Pour aborder l'œuvre, deux voies s'esquissent donc : il faut l'examiner sous un angle historique, c'est-à-dire la mettre en relation avec le contexte politique, culturel, artistique, mais aussi en étudier les aspects rhétoriques afin d'en faire apparaitre les qualités stylistiques. Les ouvrages qui nous sont parvenus frappent par leur extrême diversité. Ils portent tous l'empreinte de leur époque et contiennent à l'évidence un certain nombre de lieux communs, mais ils révèlent aussi la virtuosité d'Henry Humbert et quelquefois son talent de poète. La « sepmaine saincte », par le sujet traité et par la piété si ardente qui s'y manifeste, est représentative de la littérature spirituelle préconisée par le concile de trente. Les figures de style les plus variées s'y épanouissent. "Les ténèbres" sont consacrées en grande partie à la passion également, mais elles comportent des pièces plus lyriques, souvent émouvantes, ou le poète évoque toutes les infortunes qui l'accablent. "Le combat à la barrière" constitue une œuvre de circonstance : Henry Humbert y manie avec aisance les procédés habituels dans ce genre de littérature
Only a few dates emerge from the biographical survey made of Henry Humbert. These points of reference are clearly inadequate to restore coherently the texture of the poet's life. To take up the works, two ways can be followed: we must study them from a historical point of view that is we must put them back in the political and cultural context, and we must also study the rhetorical aspects to bring out the stylistic qualities. The extreme diversity of the works that reached us is striking. They all bear the mark of the time and obviously contain a certain number of commonplaces, but they also reveal Henry Humbert's virtuosity and sometimes his poetic talent. The work, “la sepmaine saincte”, by the subject treated and by the so fervent devotion that expresses itself in all the pages is representative of the spiritual literature recommended by the counter-reformation. The most varied figures of speech come out in this work. The poems, “les tenebres”, are also mostly devoted to the passion, but they are composed of lyric poems, often moving, in which the poet recalls all his misfortunes. “The combat à la barrière” constitutes an occasional work, in which Henry Humbert handles skillfully the figures that are usual in this kind of literature

Bligh, Rebecca. "The réalité-humaine of Henry Corbin." Thesis, Goldsmiths College (University of London), 2012. http://research.gold.ac.uk/7800/.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis sets out to correlate—to hyphenate, even—the dual and historically disparate personae of Henry Corbin the first French translator of Heidegger, and Henry Corbin, Iranian Islamist and pioneering comparative philosopher. The thesis’ cynosure is a case for the philosophicohistorically contextual reconsideration of Corbin’s infamous translation of Heidegger’s term Dasein as “réalité-humaine”, as the result of the young Corbin’s own profound engagement with Heidegger as informed by the then philosophically avant-garde. A contextual reading of Corbin’s late “Biographical Post-Scriptum” is enriched by the introduction of a correspondence between Corbin and the Warburg Library (chiefly Gertrud Bing), discovered to lie in the Warburg Library Archive in London, but which to date does not appear in Corbinian literature. The self-proclaimed point, and cause of Corbin’s divergence from Heidegger is examined further. Traces of Corbin’s own professed “debt” to Heidegger will be shown to have indeed persisted throughout Corbin’s oeuvre. Close readings of the ontological role accorded to the transcendental imagination by Heidegger (after Kant) in the Kant book, and Heidegger’s proofs of the finitude of both Being and Dasein, as set forth in (the majority of) those texts included in Corbin’s 1938 Gallimard translation of Heidegger, Qu’est-ce que la métaphysique? (including Part 4 of the Kant book) and Parts 1-3 of the Kant book are read against Corbin’s own philosophy of the imaginal.

Full text

Abstract:

This dissertation describes the degree to which thinking about the theatre was involved in James's writing processes. As its central example it takes his numerous efforts to adapt his works to and from the stage. James expended much energy in the effort to adapt his fiction to theatrical conditions. I conclude that James studied the contemporary stage and made huge efforts to conform to its strictures because he saw it as the best means available to him to dramatise the action of personality. The work's aim is to describe Henry James's involvement with the contemporary stage as his means towards developing to dramatic writing style. It looks at both James's plays and his prose works and considers them in the light of the well-made play and the development of fourth-wall theatre. After some initial experiments and disappointments (1880-1893) James found much that he could adapt into his own writing from contemporary plays that dramatised peoples' interactions with places. I look at his critical and personal pronouncements and show how they chime in with the works and the arguments of such figures as W.B. Yeats, André Antoine, Emile Zola, and George Bernard Shaw. The writings covered in the thesis are, therefore: representative samples of the plays, novels and stories that were adaptations of each other; critical remarks in journalism and private notebooks and letters; contemporary work in and about the theatre by writers other than James. The dissertation privileges James's voice but emphasises that his was but one (and by no means the loudest) amongst a particular group clamouring for roughly the same change, a movement towards a serious theatre. James took what he could find from contemporary drama both as succour and material for his own efforts towards dramatising personality. I argue that he examined the European avant-garde, as it was expressed in Paris and London, for any means to further a personal project. The thesis is, therefore, about how Henry James adapted his style of writing so as to accommodate developments he was gathering from writing for the stage. It emphasises that he thought about the theatre continuously and takes issue with the received account of James's early, middle and late styles. James did not break with the stage after 1895's Guy Domville incident, as is widely believed. By providing an account of how he manipulated and developed the representation of space across his career I show that, in fact, he continued directly on with his project, writing with the same theatrical concerns in mind for much of the rest of his life.

Full text

Abstract:

This study addresses the influence of Russian religious thought on the French philosopher and Islamicist Henry Corbin (1903-1978). In the 1930s, Corbin came into contact with religious thinkers of the Russian emigration in Paris, particularly Nikolai Berdyaev (1874-1948), who had an important role in his critical reception of contemporary German philosophy and theology. In 1939, Corbin moved to Istanbul where, parallel to his work on the first critical edition of the writings of the Iranian philosopher Shahab al-Din al-Suhrawardi (1155-1191), he deepened his knowledge of Byzantine theology and translated some of the writings of the Russian theologian Fr. Sergius Bulgakov (1871-1944). Corbin's post-war writings thus contain important references to Russian thinkers such as Berdyaev, Bulgakov, Aleksey Khomiakov (1804-1860), Fyodor Dostoevsky (1821-1881), Konstantin Leontiev (1831-1891), and Vasily Rozanov (1856-1919). These thinkers had a unique role in Corbin's ecumenical project. He was indeed convinced that Russian Orthodoxy has an important role in mediating between East and West, Christianity and Islam. Until now, there has been no attempt to study the Russian connection in Corbin's thought. The present work explores this influence as reflected in the themes of East and West, Sophiology, Divine humanity, eschatology, angelology, and Orthodox iconography. In the process, it sheds light on the sources of Corbin's philosophical positions, interest in certain themes, and choice of terminology.
Cette étude traite de l'influence de la pensée religieuse russe sur le philosophe et islamologue français Henry Corbin (1903-1978). Dans les années 1930, Corbin pris contact avec des penseurs religieux issus de l'émigration russe à Paris ; en particulier, Nicolas Berdiaev (1874-1948), qui eût un rôle important dans sa critique de la philosophie et la théologie allemande contemporaine. En 1939, Corbin s'installa à Istanbul où, parallèlement à son travail d'édition des œuvres du philosophe iranien Shahab al-Din al-Suhrawardi (1155-1191), il approfondit ses connaissances en théologie byzantine et traduisit certains écrits du P. Serge Boulgakov (1871-1944). Nous retrouvons ainsi des références importantes à des penseurs russes tels Berdiaev, Boulgakov, Alexeï Khomiakov (1804-1860), Fiodor Dostoïevski (1821-1881), Constantin Léontiev (1831-1891), Vassili Rozanov (1856-1919), dans les écrits d'après-guerre de Corbin. Ces mêmes penseurs eurent un rôle unique dans la vision œcuménique de Corbin. Ce dernier fut en effet convaincu que l'Orthodoxie russe a un rôle médiateur à jouer entre l'Orient et l'Occident, le Christianisme et l'Islam. À ce jour, aucune étude s'intéressant au philosophe n'avait élucidé cette influence. C'est pourquoi, le travail entrepris ici a pour but de combler cette lacune à travers divers thèmes tous traités en tenant compte de cette même influence : l'Orient et l'Occident, la sophiologie, la divino-humanité, l'eschatologie, l'angélologie et l'iconographie orthodoxe. Cette étude met l'accent sur les sources des positions philosophiques de Corbin, sa prédilection pour certains sujets, ainsi que son répertoire lexical.

Abstract:

Henry Moore domine l'histoire de la sculpture anglaise au XXe siècle. Ce travail s'attache à mettre en évidence les conditions qui furent à l'origine de cette réussite exceptionnelle. Héritier des avant-gardes du début du siècle, Moore participa dans les années trente à l'aventure de l'art moderne, puis s'imposa pendant la Seconde guerre mondiale et la période de la reconstruction comme le représentant d'un modernisme modéré. Devenu artiste officiel, il renouvela la statuaire publique à travers la synthèse des influences primitives et du classicisme grec. Tandis que la guerre froide divisait le monde, l'oeuvre réconciliatrice de Moore fut mise au service des intérêts stratégiques de la nation. Promu par le British Council ambassadeur de la culture britannique à l'étranger, son art fut lié à la question de la représentation nationale,̀ à la définition et à l'expression des valeurs sur lesquelles se reconstruisit la société britannique de l'après-guerre. Se pose ici la question de l'inscription de l'oeuvre dans l'histoire et des formes d'expression du politique dans l'art. La fin de la carrière de Moore fut marquée par l'immensité de son succès commercial, le retour à l'abstraction organique menant à une visions plus épurée. Les limites et réajustements qu'imposent les différents temps de la vie, les tensions politiques et sociales, l'évolution du discours critique et celle des modes de diffusion de l'art expliquent les ruptures et déplacements d'une oeuvre protéiforme
Henry Moore dominates the development of English sculpture in the twentieth century. This study bears on what made such an exceptional success possible. Taking up where the avant-gardes had left in the first two decades of the century, Moore contributed to the modernist experiments of the thirties. During the Second World War and the period of the reconstruction, his form of moderate modernism became the norm. As an official artist, he renewed the art of the public monument by combining the influences of primitive art with those of classical Greece. During the Cold War era, Moore's art of reconciliation was made to serve British interests abroad. As the British Council turned him into Britain's best cultural ambassador, his work became tied to the issue of national identity, and how to define and express the values on which British post-war society was being rebuilt. This raises the question of the link between the work of art and history, and how politics is expressed through art. The end of Moore's career was marked by commercial success on an exceptional scale, while the return to organic abstraction reduced the complexity of his vision. The changes and displacements in his work reflect life's ebb and flow, the pressure of the political and social context, the impact of critical discourse and the evolution in the forms of support and promotion of art

Abstract:

The starting point of this dissertation is a methodological question: how can corpus stylistics be used to analyse the syntax of literary fiction? A comparison of the syntax of Henry James’s late style in The Golden Bowl (1904) and his early style in Washington Square (1881) was used as a case study. While James’s late style is very widely discussed by literary critics and often seen as ‘difficult’, there has been very little evidence offered to substantiate this description. Within the extensive field of Henry James studies, there have been few linguistic descriptions of James’s prose. To remedy this, I compiled The Henry James Parsed Corpus (HJPC) from five chapters from each of the two novels. My analysis of the corpus showed that The Golden Bowl is more syntactically complex than Washington Square in a number of ways but only in sentences which do not contain direct speech. James’s idiosyncratic use of parenthesis was defined precisely using syntactic criteria and named delay. The Golden Bowl has more delay than Washington Square but also only in non-speech sentences. Only a small number of sentences have very high numbers of dependent clauses and/or delay. I argue that these exceptional sentences create the impression that the later text is homogeneously difficult. My research shows that this impression is deceptive; in fact the overwhelming majority of sentences in The Golden Bowl are no more syntactically complex than those of Washington Square. A secondary use of the HJPC is to assist close reading. Chapter outlines of the central chapter of each novel were generated and were found to mirror plot developments and dialogue sections. Salient sentences highlighted many key moments in the plot, or revealed aspects of characters’ personalities.

Abstract:

While the general idea is to illustrate how William Shakespeare reflected the contemporary conflicts and problems of the Elizabethan society, the particular aim of the thesis is to offer a close critical analysis of Shakespeare's Henry IV Part 1 and Part 2, Henry V and Henry VI Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3 plays in an eclectic critical approach derived from the theoretical principles of New Historicism and Cultural Materialism. In order to provide a better understanding of the plays studied in the thesis, there is a presentation of the development of drama, both religious and secular, in the Reformation period. In addition to this, main features of Cultural Materialism and New Historicism are given. The English Reformation and its effects on drama have been given in the introductory chapter. In the first chapter, contemporary religious controversies as reflected in Shakespeare's 1 and 2 Henry VI plays are discussed. The second chapter deals with the reflections of contemporary social conflicts in especially the Jack Cade episode of Shakespeare's 2 Henry VI. In the third chapter, reflections of political conflicts in Shakespeare's Henry V, Henry V, and Henry VI plays are analysed in terms of the appropriation of commoners by the ruling class for the preservation of the dominant order. The thesis concludes that the plays are polyvalent in meaning and thus open to further academic discussions for the years to come.
