Full textAbstract:
This thesis is concerned with a study of a particular genre, Jacobean city comedy, in relation to its socio-economic and religious context. It aims to show that the structural forms of city comedy share similarities with structures in Jacobean social consciousness. By arguing that the plays are productions of a material age this study suggests that these structures are manifestations of ideological changes brought about by two related systems of thought: capitalism and Protestantism.

Oram, Yvonne. "Older women in Elizabethan and Jacobean drama." Thesis, University of Birmingham, 2002. http://etheses.bham.ac.uk//id/eprint/1778/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the presentation of older women on stage from 1558-1625, establishing that the character is predominantly pictured within the domestic sphere, as wife, mother, stepmother or widow. Specific dramatic stereotypes for these roles are identified, and compared and contrasted with historical material relating to older women. The few plays in which these stereotypes are subverted are fully examined. Stage nurse and bawd characters are also older women and this study reveals them to be imaged exclusively as matching stereotypes. Only four plays, Peele’s The Old Wives Tale, Fletcher’s Bonduca, and Antony and Cleopatra and The Winter’s Tale, by Shakespeare, reject stereotyping of the central older women. The Introduction sets out the methodology of this research, and Chapter 1 compares stage stereotyping of the older woman with evidence from contemporary sources. This research pattern is repeated in Chapters 2-4 on the older wife, mother and stepmother, and widow, and subversion of these stereotypes on stage is also considered. Chapter 5 reveals stereotypical stage presentation as our principal source of knowledge about the older nurse and bawd. Chapter 6 examines the subtle, yet comprehensive, rejection of the stereotypes. The Conclusion summarises the academic and ongoing cultural relevance of this thesis.

Oh, Seiwoong. "The Scholarly Trickster in Jacobean Drama: Characterology and Culture." Thesis, University of North Texas, 1993. https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc278216/.
Full textAbstract:
Whereas scholarly malcontents and naifs in late Renaissance drama represent the actual notion of university graduates during the time period, scholarly tricksters have an obscure social origin. Moreover, their lack of motive in participating in the plays' events, their ambivalent value structures, and their conflicting dramatic roles as tricksters, reformers, justices, and heroes pose a serious diffculty to literary critics who attempt to define them. By examining the Western dramatic tradition, this study first proposes that the scholarly tricksters have their origins in both the Vice in early Tudor plays and the witty slave in classical comedy. By incorporating historical, cultural, anthropological, and psychological studies, this essay also demonstrates that the scholarly tricksters are each a Jacobean version of the archetypal trickster, who is usually associated with solitary habits, motiveless intrusion, and a double function as selfish buffoon and cultural hero. Finally, this study shows that their ambivalent value structures reflect the nature of rhetorical training in Renaissance schools.

Roth, Jenny. "Law, gender and culture : representations of the female legal subject in selected Jacobean texts." Thesis, University of St Andrews, 2003. http://hdl.handle.net/10023/14658.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis addresses some of the extant gaps in law and literature criticism using an historical cultural criticism of law and literature that focuses on the Jacobean female legal subject in cases of divorce and adultery. It examines the intellectual milieu that constructs law and literature in this period to contribute to research on female subject formation, and looks specifically at how literature and law work to construct identity. This thesis asks what views Jacobean literature presents of the female legal subject, and what do those views reveal about identity and gender construction? Chapter one offers some essential historical contexts. It establishes the jurisprudential conditions of the period, defines the ideal female legal subject, touches on recent historical scholarship regarding women and law, explores how literature reveals law's artificiality, and links the Inns of Court to the theatres. Chapter two focuses on women and divorce. The first sections discuss the theology and ideology which impacted on divorce law. The latter sections examine Elizabeth Cary's Tragedy of Mariam, ca. 1609, and two manuscript accounts of Frances Howard's 1613 divorce trial, William Terracae's poem, A Plenarie Satisfaction, ca. 1613, and The True Tragi-Comedie Formarly Acted at Court, a play by Francis Osborne, 1635. These texts reveal the legal construction and frustrations of married women, and illustrate a gendered divide in attitudes towards women's legal position. Chapter three examines women and adultery law. It then juxtaposes representations of women justly accused of adultery, like the real-life Alice Clarke, and the fictional Isabella in John Marston's The Insatiate Countess, 1613, and unjustly accused, like the virtuous wives in Marston's play. This chapter reveals how male anxiety creates the stereotypes that constrain the female legal subject within systems of patrilineal inheritance. As a whole, this thesis uses literature to explore the Jacobean female legal subject's relationship to her husband and to the law, and, in some cases, it challenges the assumption that women were effectively constrained by legal dictates which would keep them chaste, silent and submissive. Literature, in some cases, works alongside law to sustain constructed identities, but radical literature can undermine law by challenging the stereotypes and identities law works to maintain.

Shmygol, Maria. "'A sea-change' : representations of the marine in Jacobean drama and visual culture." Thesis, University of Liverpool, 2014. http://livrepository.liverpool.ac.uk/2014959/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis is concerned with exploring different forms of Jacobean drama and performances that span across different sites, from the commercial stages of London, to the civic pageants that took place on the Thames and in the City, and the court entertainments held at Whitehall Palace. My research necessarily casts a wide net over its subject matter in order to illustrate how these different modes of performance engage with representations of the marine through the technologies available to them, whether poetic, material, or both. While the sea had long been a receptacle for literary and poetic attention and can repeatedly be found as the stronghold of adventure, wonder, danger, and exile in the English narrative tradition, it is specifically at the beginning of the seventeenth century that the sea takes a hold of the literary imagination with particular force. The cultural, political, and economic predominance of the marine in early modern England found numerous means of expression in drama, where the different facets of marine identity and occupation create on-stage marine spaces. The thesis elucidates how these modes of performance often invoke and exploit the dramatic potential of the marine and its commercial, political, and iconographical meanings. Commercial drama, written for a pre-proscenial stage, realises the marine through language and metaphor, appealing to a collective imaginary in bodying forth the limitless watery expanses on which the action takes place. This imaginative embodiment finds a very different—and indeed a more material—means of expression in civic drama and the court masque, where the extensive and elaborate pageant devices and stage machinery were largely indebted to and shaped by continental theatrical design. The material means of expressing the marine that are found in the civic performances and the court masques discussed in this study necessitates a consideration of European trends in theatre design and the decorative arts. In looking to visual and material culture this thesis explicates the interdependence between different modes of creating on-stage marine spaces and the ways in which the material presence inflects both language and action in Jacobean drama.

Callaghan, D. C. "The construction of the category of 'woman' in Shakespeare's King Lear and Othello and Webster's The Duchess of Malfi and The White Devil." Thesis, University of Sussex, 1986. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.373909.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis addresses fissures in language, ideology and subjectivity as they are manifested in the dramatic construction of the category of 'Woman' in four major Jacobean texts. The first section of my project deals with the way 1n which the opposition of male and female underlies the perception and construction of order at every level. In a scheme of thought characterized by the use of antithesis and analogy, the opposition of gender proves to be one of the most richly extensible. All analogies are connected by the great chain of thought which consti tutes the Great Chain of Being. Once any element 1n this scheme is undermined there is the danger (or for my purposes, the analytic advantage) that there will be something like a domino ef:ect. That is to say, relations of power become more visible at the problematic i~tersec~ion of gender. In section two, I propose a construction of tragedy rela~2d to female transgression as an alternative to the '.va'! in which feminist critics tend to equate gender with genre, dubbing comedy 'feminine' and tragedy 'masculine.' My construc~ion also counters the ~raditional notion of tragedy as a ~ixed, pr i vi leged genre category. I f',lrther examine the construc~ion of woman in tragedy through absence, silence and utterance. The final sect.ion explores the nature of the cont':'nuous process of gender di£ £erentiation which serves to produce and maintain gender categories. Gender differentiation occurs most manifestly in misogynistic discourse which I address using Lacan I s theory of the construction of the human subject. The production of misogyny in its various forms constructs the feminine as 'Other,' and 1n this its function can be seen as one of policing the boundaries 'of gender ideologies. Here I also treat the construction of masculinity against femininity since the production of the former is dependent upon the latter. The preceding analyses serve to break down unities of gender by recognizlng that discourse simultaneously constructs and disperses concepts of gender. Gender is thus crucial '=.0 the cuI tural dynamic of Renaissance drama, and in this we find authority for new direc~ions in feminis~ literary studies.

Davies, Callan John. "Strange devices on the Jacobean stage : image, spectacle, and the materialisation of morality." Thesis, University of Exeter, 2015. http://hdl.handle.net/10871/19236.
Full textAbstract:
Concentrating on six plays in the 1610s, this thesis explores the ways theatrical visual effects described as “strange” channel the period’s moral anxieties about rhetoric, technology, and scepticism. It contributes to debates in repertory studies, textual and material culture, intellectual history, theatre history, and to recent revisionist considerations of spectacle. I argue that “strange” spectacle has its roots in the materialisation of morality: the presentation of moral ideas not as abstract concepts but in physical things. The first part of my PhD is a detailed study of early modern moral philosophy, scepticism, and material and textual culture. The second part of my thesis concentrates on Shakespeare’s Cymbeline (1609-10) and The Tempest (1611), John Webster’s The White Devil (1612), and Thomas Heywood’s first three Age plays (1611-13). These spectacular plays are all written and performed within the years 1610-13, a period in which the changes, challenges, and developments in both stage technology and moral philosophy are at their peak. I set these plays in the context of the wider historical moment, showing that the idiosyncrasy of their “strange” stagecraft reflects the period’s interest in materialisation and its attendant moral anxieties. This thesis implicitly challenges some of the conclusions of repertory studies, which sometimes threatens to hierarchise early modern theatre companies by seeing repertories as indications of audience taste and making too strong a divide between, say, “elite” indoor and “citizen” outdoor playhouses. It is also aligned with recent revisionist considerations of spectacle, and I elide divisions in criticism between interest in original performance conditions, close textual analysis, or historical-contextual readings. I present “strangeness” as a model for appreciating the distinct aesthetic of these plays, by reading them as part of their cultural milieu and the material conditions of their original performance.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis, by analyzing how rape is treated in William Shakespeare’s Titus Andronicus (1592-3), Thomas Middleton and William Rowley’s The Changeling (1622), and Aphra Behn’s The Rover (1677), details how the early modern English theater frequently dramatizes the period’s problematic understanding of rape. These texts reveal the social and legal illegibility of rape, illuminating just how deeply ambivalent and inconsistent patriarchy is toward female sexuality. Both using and departing from a feminist critical tradition that emphasized rape as patriarchy’s sexual entrapment of women, my readings of the period’s legal treatises and other documents call attention to the ambiguity of how rape is defined in early modern England. As represented in these three plays, male rapists exploit the period’s paradoxical views of female sexual consent, thus complicating how raped women negotiate their social and legal status. The process of disclosing her violation ultimately places a raped woman in an untenable position.

Irizarry, Adella. "The amtal rule| Testing to define in Frank Herbert's Dune." Thesis, Florida Atlantic University, 2013. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=1524501.
Full textAbstract:
In this project, I focus on the function of the “amtal,” or test of definition or destruction, in Frank Herbert's Dune. It is my argument that these tests “to destruction” determine not only the limits or defects of the person being tested, but also—and more crucially—the very limits and defects of the definition of humanity in three specific cultural spheres within the novel: the Bene Gesserit, the Fremen, and the Faufreluches. The definitions of “amtal” as well as “humanity,” like all definitions, are somewhat fluid, changing depending on usage, cultural context, and the political and social needs of the society which uses them. Accordingly, Dune remains an instructive text for thinking through contemporary and controversial notions about the limits of humanism and, consequently, of animalism and posthumanism.

Button, Anne Joyce. "John Fletcher : gender and romance." Thesis, University of Surrey, 1996. http://epubs.surrey.ac.uk/842905/.
Full textAbstract:
The role of the Jacobean romance mode has been undervalued and misunderstood, not least because of what it has been seen to symbolise politically, and perhaps also because it was seen as beginning to be associated with a female audience. I suggest that gender and sexuality were often represented in romance in a radical way which was frequently empowering for women. Among dramatists, Fletcher and his collaborators in particular were freed by their use of romance to experiment with representations of gender in a radical way. The thesis is divided into four sections, all of which address the way that gender and sexuality are represented in the Beaumont and Fletcher canon. The first section has a chapter on Fletcher's debt to Shakespeare in Bonduca, and another on the two romance plays on which Fletcher and Shakespeare collaborated - The Two Noble Kimmen, and the lost Cardenio. The second section discusses Fletcher's The Faithful Shepherdess, first giving the context of English Jacobean pastoral tragicomedy and explaining its special significance for women, and secondly comparing Fletcher's play with Lady Mary Wroth's Love's Victory, a rare example of a Jacobean play by a woman. Section three explores the debt to prose romance of four plays - Philaster, Valentinian, Love's Cure and The Island Princess - focusing on the possibility that Fletcher may have been influenced by French precieux ideas. The final section investigates the part that women played in masques in the second half of the Jacobean period, and the way that Fletcher and his collaborators use masques and masque-like elements in their plays to exploit the dramatic potential of the Jacobean female masquer's unusually public and self-affirming role. By exploring the impact of Jacobean feminocentric romance forms on the plays of Fletcher and his collaborators I offer a fuller understanding of the ways in which they regarded gender and sexuality, and contribute to the wider project of rediscovering a history of women in the Jacobean period.

Correct functioning is the most important requirement for any system. Nowadays there are a lot of threats to computer systems that undermine confidence in them and, as a result, force a user to abandon their use. Hence, a system cannot be trusted if there is no proper security provided. Firewalls are an essential component of network security and there is an obvious need for their use. The level of security provided by a firewall depends on how well it is configured. Thus, to ensure the proper level of network security, it is necessary to have properly configured firewalls. However, setting up the firewall correctly is a very challenging task. These configuration files might be hard to understand even for system administrators. This is due to the fact that these configuration files have a certain structure: the higher the position of a rule in the rule set, the higher priority it has. Challenging problems arise when a new rule is being added to the set, and a proper position, where to place it, needs to be found. Misconfiguration might sooner or later be made and that will lead to an inappropriate system's security. This brings us to the usability problem associated with the configuration of firewalls. The overall aim of this thesis is to identify existing firewall usability gaps and to mitigate them. To achieve the first part of the objective, we conducted a series of interviews with system administrators. In the interviews, system administrators were asked about the problems they face when dealing with firewalls. After having ascertained that the usability problems exist, we turned to literature to get an understanding on the state-of-the-art of the field and therefore conducted a systematic literature review. This review presents a classification of available solutions and identifies open challenges in this area. To achieve the second part of the objective, we started working on one identified challenge. A set of usability metrics was proposed and mathematically formalized. A strong correlation between our metrics and how system administrators describe usability was identified.Network security is an important aspect that must be taken into account.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines artistic and literary images of murderous women in popular print published in sixteenth and seventeenth-century England. The construction of murderous women in criminal narratives, published between 1558 and 1625 in pamphlet, ballad, and play form, is examined in the context of contemporary historical records and cultural discourse. Chapter One features a literature review of the topic in recent scholarship. Chapter Two, comprised of two subsections, discusses representations of early modern women in contemporary literature and criminal archives. The subsections in Chapter Two examine early modern treatises, sermons, and essays concerning the nature of women, the roles and responsibilities of wives and mothers, and debates about marriage, as well as a review of women tried for murder in the Middlesex assize courts between 1558 and 1625. Chapter Three, comprised of four subsections, engages in critical readings of approximately 52 pamphlets, ballads, and plays published in the same period. Individual subsections discuss how traitorous wives, murderous mothers, women who murder in their communities, and punishment and redemption are represented in the narratives. Woodcut illustrations printed in these texts are also examined, and their iconographic contributions to the construction of bad women is discussed. Women who murder in these texts are represented as consummately evil creatures capable of inflicting terrible harm to their families and communities, and are consistently discovered, captured, and executed by their communities for their heinous crimes. Murderous women in early modern popular literature also provided a means for contemporary men and women to explore, confront, and share in the depths of sin, while anticipating their own spiritual salvation. Pamphlets, plays, and broadsides related bawdy, graphic, and violent stories that allow modern readers a glimpse of the popular culture and mental world of Renaissance England.M.A.

Full textAbstract:
The primary objective of this thesis is to examine the interaction between drama and politics in Ben Jonson's two surviving tragedies, Sejanus and Catiline, during the early years of the Jacobean and Restoration periods. Jonson relied heavily on classical scholarship in writing his two extant tragedies, his stated reason being to convince the readers of their "truth of Argument". But Jonson, nevertheless, adapted his sources in an ingenious way that both suited his dramatic purposes and served to cast light on social and political realities in the England of his own day. For Jonson, as for many Renaissance historians, the past had meaning primarily because of its valuable lessons for the present and the future. Thus, one of my aims is to examine both the nature and the extent of Jonson's dependenceo n the classical sources which provided him with the historical stories and details that he dramatized in the two plays. SuccessiveE nglish governmentsi n the seventeenthc entury treated drama, especially that based on historical material, as a potentially dangerous medium for disseminating propaganda and for influencing public opinion against specific government policies. Therefore, part of this work will be devoted to discussing censorship regulations within early Jacobean and Restoration England, and to examining their effects both on Jonson and on the reception of his two tragedies. Each of the two plays is studied in the context of its historical sources in order to determine Jonson's method of adapting his sources as well as the extent of topicality that each play seems to provide, both on the Jacobean and the Restoration stage. The method adopted in this study is to place the two Roman tragedies within the contemporary setting for which they were originally intended and then within the context of the early Restoration period when the two plays are thought to have been revived.

Full textAbstract:
Extracting information from a stack of data is a tedious task and the scenario is no different in proteomics. Volumes of research papers are published about study of various proteins in several species, their interactions with other proteins and identification of protein(s) as possible biomarker in causing diseases. It is a challenging task for biologists to keep track of these developments manually by reading through the literatures. Several tools have been developed by computer linguists to assist identification, extraction and hypotheses generation of proteins and protein-protein interactions from biomedical publications and protein databases. However, they are confronted with the challenges of term variation, term ambiguity, access only to abstracts and inconsistencies in time-consuming manual curation of protein and protein-protein interaction repositories. This work attempts to attenuate the challenges by extracting protein-protein interactions in humans and elicit possible interactions using associative rule mining on full text, abstracts and captions from figures available from publicly available biomedical literature databases. Two such databases are used in our study: Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) and PubMed Central (PMC). A corpus is built using articles based on search terms. A dataset of more than 38,000 protein-protein interactions from the Human Protein Reference Database (HPRD) is cross-referenced to validate discovered interactive pairs. A set of an optimal size of possible binary protein-protein interactions is generated to be made available for clinician or biological validation. A significant change in the number of new associations was found by altering the thresholds for support and confidence metrics. This study narrows down the limitations for biologists in keeping pace with discovery of protein-protein interactions via manually reading the literature and their needs to validate each and every possible interaction.

Full textAbstract:
The poetry of T. S. Eliot represents intense yet discriminate expressions of desire. His poetry is a poetry of desire that extenuates the long tradition of love poetry in Occidental culture. The unique and paradoxical element of love in Occidental culture is that it is based on an ideal of the unconsummated love relationship between man and woman. The struggle to express desire, yet remain true to ideals that have deep sacred and secular significance is the key animating factor of Eliot's poetry. To conceal and reveal desire, Eliot made use of four core elements of modernism: the apocalyptic vision, Pound's Imagism, the conflict between organic and mechanic sources of sublimity, and precisionism. Together, all four elements form a critical and philosophical matrix that allows for the discreet expression of desire in what Foucault calls the silences of Victorianism, yet Eliot still manages to reveal it in his major poetry. In Prufrock, Eliot uses precisionism to conceal and reveal desire with conflicting patterns of sound, syntax, and image. In The Waste Land, desire is expressed as negation, primarily as shame, sadness, and violence. The negation of desire occurred only after Pound had excised explicit references to desire, indicating Eliot's struggle to find an acceptable form of expression. At the end of The Waste Land, Eliot reveals a new method of expressing desire in the water-dripping song of the hermithrush and in the final prayer of Shatih. Continuing to refine his expressions of desire, Eliot makes use of nonsense and prayer in Ash Wednesday. In Ash Wednesday, language without reference to the world of objects and directed towards the semi-divine figure represents another concealment and revelation of desire. The final step in Eliot's continuing refinement of his expressions of desire occurs in Four Quartets. Inn Four Quartets, the speaker no longer carries the burden of desire, but language at its every evocation carries the cruel burden of ideal love.

There exists a large gap between the genders for educational attainment, with females outperforming males by a large margin. This gap is seen through almost all levels of secondary and tertiary education, and is present in all of EU-28 and PISA countries. This thesis is a systematic review of literature concerning this effect in Finland. Using a methodical step by step process with a specific Boolean search string to narrow down search results from two academic databases: Ebsco and Proquest’s ERIC. A group of eight studies were selected to be primary sources, and they were analysed as to their relation to the situation. Although it is outside the scope of this thesis to show any causation, the studies had directly relevant findings that show that the biggest issue is boys’ attitude towards reading in general, and school in particularKoulumenestyksessä on suuria eroja sukupuolten välillä. Naiset ja tytöt menestyvät koulussa ja koulutuksessa huomattavasti miehiä ja poikia paremmin. Tämä sukupuolten välinen ero on nähtävissä kaikissa EU-28 ja PISA maissa. Tämä opinnäyte käy läpi systemaattisesti tähän ilmiöön liittyviä tutkimuksia.

Full textAbstract:
Première femme à publier un roman en Angleterre, Lady Mary Wroth (1587 ?-1651 ?) est l’auteur d’une œuvre profondément marquée par la mélancolie. En 1621, soit la même année que la première édition de l’Anatomie de la mélancolie de Robert Burton, elle publie sous son propre nom un roman pastoral, The Countess of Montgomery’s Urania, suivi d’un recueil de poèmes intitulé Pamphilia to Amphilanthus en référence au couple central du roman. De la représentation du paysage à la structure narrative en passant par les symptômes physiques et psychologiques que manifeste l’ensemble des personnages, la mélancolie est partout dans ce roman. Maladie érudite et culturelle propre à une élite sociale mais réservée aux hommes lorsqu’elle révèle les génies, objet d’une véritable mode dans l’Angleterre du dix-septième siècle, la mélancolie devient pour Lady Mary Wroth l’instrument privilégié de la légitimation de son projet romanesque. Le roman se caractérise en effet par une poétique de la mélancolie qui se traduit par la mise en scène réflexive de l’écriture, par une écriture noire typiquement maniériste dans laquelle l’auteur s’affirme en se niant. Mais la mélancolie est aussi dans ce roman le symptôme d’un monde en crise dans lequel les valeurs morales qui ont triomphé à l’époque élisabéthaine, telles que l’héroïsme martial, sont désormais obsolètes. Le roman présente le sombre tableau d’un monde déchu sans espoir de rachat. En imitant aussi systématiquement l’Arcadie de Sidney – dont Wroth était la nièce –, l’Urania met en scène une nostalgie littéraire qui souligne l’incapacité de l’auteur à égaler ses modèles, mais fait parallèlement de cet aveu d’échec l’affirmation de sa propre légitimitéLady Mary Wroth (1587 ? -1651 ?), who was the first woman to publish a prose romance in England, authored works that are pervaded by melancholy. In 1621 – the same year as the first edition of Robert Burton’s Anatomy of Melancholy – she published a single volume containing her pastoral romance The Countess of Montgomery’s Urania and a sonnet sequence entitled Pamphilia to Amphilanthus which refers to the main couple in the romance. Melancholy is an overwhelming presence in Urania, as it appears not only in the setting and in the characters’ bodies and minds, but in the narrative structure of the romance as well. In seventeenth-century England, there was a well-known fashion for melancholy, which was seen as a sign of nobility and cultural genius, but only as far as men were concerned. Lady Mary Wroth uses melancholy to legitimize her authorial position inside the romance. Urania, indeed, is characterized by a poetics of melancholy which appears both in a self-conscious representation of the writing process and in a black, mannerist style which enables Wroth to make a claim for the legitimacy of her works by denying her own agency in them. Melancholy also functions as the symptom of moral decline, as the moral values which triumphed in the Elizabethan period, such as martial heroism, now appear irrevocably obsolete. The romance portrays a fallen world which reveals no hope of redemption whatsoever. In its systematic imitation of Sidney’s Arcadia, Urania showcases a literay nostalgia which enables Wroth to affirm her own authorial position by demonstrating her inability to equal her models

Full textAbstract:
Since classical times, the witch has remained an eerie, powerful and foreboding figure in literature and drama. Often beautiful and alluring, like Circe, and just as often terrifying and aged, like Shakespeare’s Wyrd Sisters, the witch lives ever just outside the margins of polite society. In John Marston’s Sophonisba, or The Wonder of Women the witch’s ability to persuade through the use of language is Marston’s commentary on the power of poetry, theater and women’s speech in early modern Britain. Erichtho is the ultimate example of a terrifying woman who uses linguistic persuasion to change the course of nations. Throughout the play, the use of speech draws reader’s attention to the role of the mouth as an orifice of persuasion and to the power of speech. It is through Erichtho’s mouth that Marston truly highlights the power of subversive speech and the effects it has on its intended audience.

Full textAbstract:
Auguste Dupouy fut une des grandes figures de la littérature bretonne de la première moitié du XXe siècle. Son écriture est partagée entre des travaux de type universitaires — biographies, études générales sur la littérature, et une écriture plus personnelle — romans, nouvelles, ouvrages touristiques — où la Bretagne prend la plus large place —. Quel est le point de convergence entre deux activités littéraires aussi différentes ? Tandis que Dupouy émet de lui une image relativement lisse, il nous semble, au contraire, que dans son oeuvre tout est lutte, tout est conflit géographique. sociologique, celui des passions, des pulsions, des désirs, l’oeuvre de Dupouy ne peut s’entendre qu’au son du grand fracas d’une volonté qui se brise contre une autre. Ce travail a pour propos d’exposer comment ce motif s’enchevêtre dans le texte, se développe et comment il porte en lui la source de l’énergie créatrice.L’écriture littéraire révèle et met en oeuvre une tension fondamentale qui se traduit par l’expression de la lutte. L’espace géographique est en proie au combat : les frontières sont assiégées, les territoires en résistance. Les hommes qu’il admire, auxquels il accorde une biographie, sont des personnages contestés, il assure leur défense. Dans les oeuvres de fiction, les fondements de la narration sont le désir de domination et les conséquences dramatiques qui en découlent.Lire l’oeuvre d’Auguste Dupouy, c’est se replonger dans un monde qui a largement disparu celui d’une Bretagne de costumes, de marine â voile et de pain noir. Pourtant, la richesse de son écriture lui donne une véritable place dans l’histoire littéraire, sa lecture nous donne des clefs pour mieux comprendre notre société, mais surtout, par l’image complexe qu’il laisse de l’homme, il participe du grand projet de l’art qui est celui de sonder l’âme humaineAuguste Dupouy was one of the central figures of Brittany’s literature in the first half of the twentieth century. Ris works combine academic writing — biographies and general studies in literature — and more personal writing such as novels. short stories and tourist guide books. in which Brittany is a central element. How do Dupouy’s two distinct literary activities converge? Although Dupouy pictured himself as a conventional character , this writer believes that his work is entirely built on the themes ofstruggle and fight. Whether it be social or territorial disputes or the struggle of passions, urges and desires, Dupouy’s work can only be understood through the clashing of one man’s will against another’s. The present study intends to expose how this motif is interlaced in the text, how it is developped and how it bears the source ofcreative energy.Dupouy’s literary writing reveals and implements a fundamental tension, which finds its expression in struggle. Geographic space is subject to struggle: boundaries are besieged and teiritories are resisting. The men he admired and vhose biographies he chose to write were controversial characters for whose cases he conducted the defence. Tn his fiction, the narrative is based on the desire for domination and the ensuing dramatic consequences.When reading Auguste Dupouy’s workwe immerse ourselves in a bygone world—the days of Bretons in traditional costumes. sailing ships and black bread. Yet the richness ofhis writing confers him a real place in the history ofliterature: reading him gives us some keys to a better understanding of our society and. above alt, as he imparts his complex vision ofman, he partakes in art’s great project fathoming the human soul

Full textAbstract:
Towards the end of the 19th century Oscar Wilde wrote the four society plays that would become his most famous dramatical works: Lady Windermere’s Fan (1892), A Woman of No Importance (1893), An Ideal Husband (1895) and The Importance of Being Earnest (1895). The plays combined characteristic Wildean witticisms with cunning social criticism of Victorian society, using stereotypical characters such as the dandy, the fallen woman and the “ideal” woman to mock the double moral and strict social expectations of Victorian society. These plays, and to an extent also Wilde’s symbolist drama Salomé (1891), have been the object of a great deal of scholarly interest, with countless studies conducted on them from various angles and theoretical perspectives. Widely under-discussed, however, are Wilde’s two Elizabethan-Jacobean tragedies, The Duchess of Padua (1883) and A Florentine Tragedy (1894). This thesis therefore sets out to explore The Duchess of Padua and A Florentine Tragedy in order to gain a broader understanding of Wilde’s forgotten dramatical works, while also rediscovering two of Wilde’s most transgressive female characters—Beatrice and Bianca. Challenging traditional ideas of gender and female sexuality, Beatrice and Bianca can be read as proto-feminist figures who continually act transgressively, using their voice and agency to stand up against patriarchy and asserting their rights to experience their lives on their own terms. Through an in-depth study of these plays, this thesis will demonstrate that Wilde’s Elizabethan-Jacobean tragedies, with their strong, modern female characters Beatrice and Bianca deserve greater critical attention on a par with the extensive scholarship on Wilde’s well-known dramatical works.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this work is to detect a pattern: the concordance of Ethics and Aesthetics, Poetics and Politics in the most influential American thinker of the nineteenth century. It is an attempt to trace a basic concept of the Emersonian transcendentalist doctrine, its development, its philosophical meaning and practical implications. Emerson’s thought is analyzed genetically in search of the generating paradigm, or the set of axioms from which his aesthetic ideas as well as his political reasoning are derived. Such a basic structure, or point of convergence, is sought in the emergence of Emerson’s idea of universal laws that repeat themselves on all levels of reality. A general introduction is given in Part One, where the crisis in Emerson’s life is seen as representing and foreshadowing the deeper existential crisis of modern man. In Part 2 we follow the increasingly skeptical theologian’s turn to science, where he tries to secure a safe secular foundation for ethical good and right and to solve the problem of evil. Part 3 shows how Emerson’s conception of the laws of nature and ethics is applied in his political philosophy. In Part 4, Emerson’s ideas of the arts are seen as corresponding to his views of nature, morality, and individuality. Finally, in Part 5, the ancient and classical nature of Concord philosophy is brought into focus. The book concludes with a short summary.

Full textAbstract:
Initially proposed in 2001, the Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors Act (DREAM Act) continues to be relevant after nearly 20 years of debate. The year 2010 was significant because there seemed to be some possibility of passage. This study investigated the ways in which the DREAM Act discourse was framed that year by supporters and opponents. Selected Congressional speeches of three supporters and three opponents were analyzed using the approach to frame analysis developed by Schön and Rein. Accordingly, attention went to each individual's metacultural frame (i.e., culturally shared beliefs), policy frame (i.e., identification of problem and presentation of possible solution), and rhetorical frame (i.e., means of persuading the audience). Attention also went to the shared framing among supporters and the shared framing among opponents as well as differences in framing across the two groups. Although speakers varied in framing the issue, there were commonalities within groups and contrasts between groups. For supporters, the metacultural frame emphasized equity/equal opportunity, fairness, and rule of law; for opponents, the metacultural frame stressed rule of law, patriotism, and national security. For supporters, the policy frame underscored unfairness as the problem and the DREAM Act as the solution; for opponents, the policy frame emphasized the DREAM Act as the problem and defeating the DREAM Act as the solution. Rhetorical frames also differed, with the supporters making much use of testimonial examples and the opponents making much use of hyperbole. The study illustrates (1) how the same named values and beliefs can have dramatically different interpretations in metacultural framing, as were the case for rule of law and American dream in this discourse; (2) how the crux of an issue and its intractability can be seen by looking at how the problem is posed and how the solution is argued, and (3) how speakers strengthen their claims with particular kinds of rhetorical devices. Through descriptions of political positioning on the DREAM Act, the study contributes to understandings of ongoing issues regarding the lives of undocumented young people who have received and are receiving education in the U.S.

Randall, Jennifer M. "Early Medieval Rhetoric: Epideictic Underpinnings in Old English Homilies." Digital Archive @ GSU, 2010. http://digitalarchive.gsu.edu/english_diss/61.
Full textAbstract:
Medieval rhetoric, as a field and as a subject, has largely been under-developed and under-emphasized within medieval and rhetorical studies for several reasons: the disconnect between Germanic, Anglo-Saxon society and the Greco-Roman tradition that defined rhetoric as an art; the problems associated with translating the Old and Middle English vernacular in light of rhetorical and, thereby, Greco-Latin precepts; and the complexities of the medieval period itself with the lack of surviving manuscripts, often indistinct and inconsistent political and legal structure, and widespread interspersion and interpolation of Christian doctrine. However, it was Christianity and its governance of medieval culture that preserved classical rhetoric within the medieval period through reliance upon a classic epideictic platform, which, in turn, became the foundation for early medieval rhetoric. The role of epideictic rhetoric itself is often undervalued within the rhetorical tradition because it appears too basic or less essential than the judicial or deliberative branches for in-depth study and analysis. Closer inspection of this branch reveals that epideictic rhetoric contains fundamental elements of human communication with the focus upon praise and blame and upon appropriate thought and behavior. In analyzing the medieval world’s heritage and knowledge of the Greco-Roman tradition, epideictic rhetoric’s role within the writings and lives of Greek and Roman philosophers, and the popular Christian writings of the medieval period – such as Alfred’s translation of Boethius’ Consolation of Philosophy, Alfred’s translation of Gregory the Great’s Pastoral Care, Ælfric’s Lives of Saints, Ælfric’s Catholic Homilies, Wulfstan’s Sermo Lupi ad Anglos, and the anonymously written Vercelli and Blickling homiles – an early medieval rhetoric begins to be revealed. This Old English rhetoric rests upon a blended epideictic structure based largely upon the encomium and vituperation formats of the ancient progymnasmata, with some additions from the chreia and commonplace exercises, to form a unique rhetoric of the soul that aimed to convert words into moral thought and action within the lives of every individual. Unlike its classical predecessors, medieval rhetoric did not argue, refute, or prove; it did not rely solely on either praise or blame; and it did not cultivate words merely for intellectual, educative, or political purposes. Instead, early medieval rhetoric placed the power of words in the hands of all humanity, inspiring every individual to greater discernment of character and reality, greater spirituality, greater morality, and greater pragmatism in daily life.

Sticpewich, Margaret M. "Sexual discourse in the Jacobean theater of social mobility." Thesis, 1997. http://hdl.handle.net/1911/19219.
Full textAbstract:
Social mobility was a feature of life in early modern England, and its effect on the gentry was the material for a number of plays written in the first decades of the 17th century: Shakespeare's All's Well That Ends Well, Massinger's The Maid of Honour and The Bondman, and Middleton's The Changeling. In these plays the dramatists examine the moral questions of fitness for membership in the elite. They use received notions of sexual desire and gender hierarchy together with a narrative of social mobility to question and to legitimate this mobility. Social aspiration and sexual desire could be put into a productive dramatic relationship because in contemporary thought they were connected at a fundamental ethical level. Their theatrical conjunction put sex into discourse in Foucault's sense and deployed it in new ways.
The first three plays investigate the possibility of a more inclusive elite which would be open, through marriage, to virtuous outsiders. Though the social mobility of the protagonists does not threaten the hierarchy, the erotic energy which is inseparable from their aspiration has a disruptive potential which calls their project into question. Nothing less than a transformation of the desiring self is required to legitimate their ambition. In the downward mobility represented in The Changeling there is no transformation of the self; uncontrolled desire leads to chaos in the social order, and the play constructs a cleavage between the respectable and the morally reprehensible parts of society.
Though the plays endorse the control of desire as the touchstone of acceptance into the elite, the theatrical representation of this desire in the struggle to deserve status functions in a productive rather than a repressive way. It creates a secular sexual discourse which became an integral part of the entertainment provided by the commercial theater. Moreover, this representation of desire is deployed to change the way society is perceived. The audience is persuaded to envisage an elite reformed by the inclusion of people of merit from outside it, and to accept the corollary of this--the separation and exclusion of the morally reprehensible.

A hundred years ago, in the early 20th century, the West challenged East Asia with its new weapons. This not only influenced East Asian politics and economics, but also introduced a significant turning point in the development of literature in the region. At the outset of the new vernacular literature, Taiwan and Korea were Japanese colonies. During the half-century Japanese rule, Taiwanese and Koreans expressed their sentiments and historial experiences through works of fiction that evoked profound thoughts from people that read them. Chapter One, “Introduction”, discusses the motivations, objectives, and the scope and limitations of this study. Chapter Two, “Review of Taiwan and Korea Under Japanese Rule”, provides a comparison between Taiwan and Korea as Japanese colonies, which served as a reference works of fiction based on history. Chapter Three, “Taiwan and Korea’s Literary Timeline Under Japanese Rule”, explores the birth and evolution of new literature in Taiwan and Korea, and discusses its significance and spirit. Chapters Four to Seven, based on the timeline of Taiwan and Korea under Japanese rule, present historical experiences, including “colonialism and the Japanese Police oppression”, “exploitation in the countryside and unemployment, poverty”, “social phenomenon and awakening to fight”, “female image and love, marriage”, and so on. We can compare and analyze the similarities and differences between the historical experiences of Taiwan and Korea. Chapter Eight, “Conclusion”, presents what this research has achieved, conclusions, and recommendations for further studies. Does the same historical grief evoke the same sigh? Do literary works written during that period reflect the true sentiments of people in Taiwan and Korea? How much of the sufferings of the people have not been revealed? Let us trace back the long trail of history and examine closely the evolution of literature. Let us go back in history one hundred years ago, and search for the roots and the development of this new literature. Perhaps we might find the true meaning and effects of colonization and discover the profound significance of these historical experiences.

Rised in 1920, Taiwan’s new literature during the Japanese Rule was a part of the trend of thought in the whole world at that time. Stimulated by the worldwide tendency towards liberty and democracy after WWWI and the trend of literature revolution in May-Fourth-Movement, Taiwan’s new literature movement had been added into much more enrichment. Taiwanese writers under Japanese Imperialism combined the rising political and social movement, lifting highly the Flag of Anti-imperialism and Anti-autocracy, and by means of the development of new literature, searched for the liberalization of nation and the enlightening of people’s mind. National identity is an important issue in Taiwan History; furthermore, the issue of identity has been throughout the the new literature movement, which is composed of the competition among Taiwan consciousness, and Socialism. There are seven chapters in it. The First chapter is explaining the origin of the research, defining nouns, and introducing the related resources. The second is defining nations and the national identity, as well as introducing the theory of professional Nationalists, and discussing the origin of identity. The third is narrating the causes of new literature movement, including the worldwide trend contemporary and the effects of May-Fourth-Movement, and the condition of old literature. The Fourth chapter views China consciousness and Taiwan consciousness from the argument between new and old literature, the issues about Taiwan languages, and the debate over Hsiang Tu literature from the new literature movement. In the fifth chapter, Socialism with the strong spint of Realism was first seen in Taiwan, emphasizing the popularization of literature and art. The sixth is discussing Japan consciousness, which cannot be simplified into slavery through Ko-Min Literature. There is similarity between Japan consciousness and modernization. The seventh chapter is conclusion. Among those national identity of Taiwan new literature during the Japanese Rule, Taiwan Consciousness is self-conscious while China Consciousness is original, and Japan Consciousness is exterior. The three kinds of consciousness form the competition of identity during the Japanese Rule. Taiwan Consciousness and China Consciousness were not completely opposing during this time, but were mixed most of the time because Japanese government was just the opposing object. Therefore, Taiwan Consciousness and China Consciousness were on the same side. The conflict between them resulted from the alter of political situation after 1945. There were more issues of times for the intelligent in Taiwan to de with at this time, but what they could do under the oppression of government was limited. Whether it is “to assert the Taiwanese local specialty”, or “to admire the fatherland”, or even “to show the loyalty to the Imperial”, or “to combine with the pubic,” those not only enrich the history of Taiwan literature during the Japanese Rule, but also present the fate of Taiwan in history.
