Abstract (sommario):
What do we understand nowadays by the traditional phrase ‘English literature’? Is it the literature of England and England alone, or of the whole British Isles when English is used, or does it cover the literature of all the world when that literature is cast in English?

Naḥee, Awaḍ. "Britain in the Awareness of Muslim Literature; Early Historical and Geographical Knowledge until the time of al-Idrīsī (217 AH/ 833 CE – 560 AH/ 1165 CE)". Journal of Umm Al-Qura University for Social Sciences 15, n. 1 (1 marzo 2023): 70–83. http://dx.doi.org/10.54940/ss33558900.

Abstract (sommario):
Muslim authors paid a significant interest in European peoples and countries in the view of growing the relationship between Muslim World and Medieval Christian Europe and the flourish of authorship in Muslim scholarship. In fact, a part of the Muslim's interest was given to the British Isles in spite of it is far distance of Muslim lands. Therefore, the present article focuses on principle significant questions; what was Britain for early Muslim authors? and what were the most important reasons for interesting those Muslim authors in it, and what were the most effective factors contributing in developing such interest until the mid-6th AH/ 12th century CE when the geographer al-Idrīsī was alive. Hence, the researcher has to investigate the beginnings of the term "Britain" in Muslim traditional sources since the establishment of authorship in the Muslim world, particularly during first quarter of the 3rd AH/ 9th CE century when the first reference to "Marṭāniyah" was recorded. The al-Idrīsī's account on the British Isles is worthy to examine since he sheds light on its major islands, described in detail the most important British towns and cities in his time, and some of its well-known rivers. He also tried to determine the distances between some of these cities and towns by the mile, with some references to political and economic conditions in the British Isles in his time. All that clarifies the extent of early Muslim interest in the British Isles, seeming limited to the geographical knowledge among most Muslim writings during the period under study.

Abstract (sommario):
An account is given of finding the larva of Pyrausta purpuralis (Linnaeus, 1758) in the British Isles feeding on Prunella vulgaris L. British literature gives Mentha arvensis L. and Thymus spp. as the foodplants apart from a citation of Prunella vulgaris in 1904 that seems to have been overlooked, except for being included as one of several foodplants in mainland European publications in 2012 and 2013. We discuss whether Prunella vulgaris may be the main, if not only, foodplant of Pyrausta purpuralis, at least in the British Isles. Descriptions and illustrations are provided of the larvae of Pyrausta purpuralis and the similar species of P. ostrinalis (Hübner, 1796) and P. aurata (Scopoli, 1763) whose foodplants are also considered.

Hadfield, Andrew. "Grimalkin and other Shakespearean Celts". Sederi, n. 25 (2015): 55–76. http://dx.doi.org/10.34136/sederi.2015.3.

Testo completo
Abstract (sommario):
This essay examines the representation of Ireland and Celtic culture within the British Isles in Shakespeare’s works. It argues that Shakespeare was interested in ideas of colonisation and savagery and based his perceptions on contemporary events, the history of the British Isles and important literary works such as William Baldwin’s prose fiction, Beware the Cat. His plays, notably The Comedy of Errors and Macbeth, represent Protestant England as an isolated culture surrounded by hostile Celtic forces which form a threatening shadowy state. The second part of the essay explores Shakespeare’s influence on Irish culture after his death, arguing that he was absorbed into Anglo-Irish culture and played a major role in establishing Ireland’s Anglophone literary identity. Shakespeare imported the culture of the British Isles into his works – and then, as his fame spread, his plays exported what he had understood back again, an important feature of Anglo-Irish literary identity, as many subsequent writers have understood.

Testo completo
Abstract (sommario):
In the nineteenth-century British press, ‘The Isles of Greece, the Isles of Greece’, as the Brighton Gazette put it in 1878, ‘have had their joys and beauties sung in lofty strains by the wisest, the wittiest, and the wickedest of poets’. These mostly unidentified poets remained true to the spirit of the original recitation of Byron’s ‘The Isles of Greece’ from Don Juan , where it is presented as a performance by a poet whom we may or may not trust. The poem’s double reading, its levels of irony, denial of authority, and eventual misreading, makes the persistent reappearance in various forms of the double exclamation ‘The isles of Greece, the isles of Greece!’ in the Victorian press a natural extension or afterlife of its dynamic. Political newspapers are a culturally dynamic space for unravelling the myriad of performative aspects of the poem in its various afterlives as we follow how it was transformed based on Britain’s relationship with Greece.

Abstract (sommario):
John Brannigan is Professor at the School of English, Drama and Film at University College Dublin. He has research interests in the twentieth-century literatures of Ireland, England, Scotland, and Wales, with a particular focus on the relationships between literature and social and cultural identities. His first book, New Historicism and Cultural Materialism (1998), was a study of the leading historicist methodologies in late twentieth-century literary criticism. He has since published two books on the postwar history of English literature (2002, 2003), leading book-length studies of working-class authors Brendan Behan (2002) and Pat Barker (2005), and the first book to investigate twentieth-century Irish literature and culture using critical race theories, Race in Modern Irish Literature and Culture (2009). His most recent book, Archipelagic Modernism: Literature in the Irish and British Isles, 1890-1970 (2014), explores new ways of understanding the relationship between literature, place and environment in 20th-century Irish and British writing. He was editor of the international peer-reviewed journal, Irish University Review, from 2010 to 2016.

Abstract (sommario):
An account is given of rearing Catoptria permutatellus (Herrich-Schäffer, 1848) from the egg. The observations were made from eggs obtained in captivity from a female caught in Scotland. The larvae accepted seven species of moss and one, or possibly more, species of Carex. Descriptions and photographs are provided of the egg, larva and pupa. It appears that there are no accounts of the egg or pupa in either the British or continental European literature, except for one paper that simply gives the number of ribs possessed by the egg, and there are no reliable descriptions of the larva. Certain prior accounts, at least in the British literature, appear to be based on accounts of a superficially similar species, Catoptria myella (Hübner, 1796), that does not occur in the British Isles. Various British and continental European publications are considered.

Abstract McCully, S. R., Scott, F., and Ellis, J. R. 2012. Lengths at maturity and conversion factors for skates (Rajidae) around the British Isles, with an analysis of data in the literature. –ICES Journal of Marine Science, 69: 1812–1822. Biological data on skates (Rajidae) from around the British Isles were collected between 1992 and 2010. The relationship between total length and weight for nine species (Amblyraja radiata, Dipturus batis-complex, Leucoraja fullonica, L. naevus, Raja brachyura, R. clavata, R. microocellata, R. montagui, and R. undulata) are provided for each sex and ICES ecoregion (when significantly different). Conversion factors for disc width to total length are provided. The lengths at first maturity and of the largest immature skates are reported for each sex, and the lengths at 50% maturity are estimated. Spatial differences in the length at maturity of R. clavata (females only) and L. naevus (both sexes) were observed. The lengths at maturity are discussed in relation to the results of earlier studies, and methodological differences are considered to have influenced reputed decreases in the length at maturity. A more standardized approach to collecting and reporting maturity information is required if potential spatial differences and temporal changes are to be investigated.

Franco, Chelsea E. "The (Wo)Man in the Masque: Cross-Dressing as Disguise in Early Modern English Literature". FIU Digital Commons, 2015. http://digitalcommons.fiu.edu/etd/1780.

Testo completo
Abstract (sommario):
Characters’ identities are integral to how audiences relate to them. But what happens when the character suddenly alters his or her outward appearance? Are they still the same person? This thesis seeks to argue that disguise does not alter a character’s true nature, as evidenced by Pyrocles in Sir Philip Sidney’s The Countess of Pembroke’s Arcadia and the Prince in Margaret Cavendish’s The Convent of Pleasure. Both Pyrocles’ suit of Philoclea and the Prince’s suit of Lady Happy are successful because, however subversive they appear at first, they ultimately adhere to societal norms of the time. The relationship between the cross-dressed prince and his love interest in both works only appears to subvert heteronormative expectations for the time, but ultimately adheres to these societal norms once the disguised character’s true identity is revealed to his chosen partner.

Testo completo
Abstract (sommario):
This thesis examines three images associated with the manuscripts and early printed editions of Chaucer’s Troilus and Criseyde which I have dubbed “Prostrate Troilus,” “Pandarus as Messenger,” and “Criseyde in the Garden.” These images are artifacts of contemporary textual interpretation that “read” Chaucer’s text and the tale of Troilus. They each illustrate the way in which Troilus, Pandarus, and Criseyde “read” images, gestures, symbols, and speeches within the narrative, and they show how these characters are constrained and influenced by their individual primary modes of perception. Troilus reads but does not analyze. Pandarus actively reads his own meanings into messages. Criseyde’s reading is reflective. Ultimately, the different interpretive strategies that Chaucer explores in Troilus mirror those of Chaucer’s readers.

McLeod, Sylvia. "An examination of biography in Possession by A.S. Byatt and Dickens by Peter Ackroyd". Thesis, Edith Cowan University, Research Online, Perth, Western Australia, 1997. https://ro.ecu.edu.au/theses/881.

Testo completo
Abstract (sommario):
This thesis is an examination of Possession by A.S. Byatt and Dickens by Peter Ackroyd, and aims to contribute to the Poetics of biography. Although there has been a paucity of literature about biography until the latter part of the twentieth century, a growing number of writings, by biographers and scholars, reflects the interest in developing a body of theory of the biography genre. My thesis is a part of this initiative. The two works which I have chosen for this project are critiques of biography, albeit from different perspectives. Possession is a novel which narrativises issues of biography, while Dickens takes the form of a fictionalised biography. Since there is a metabiographical element in both works, they provide scope for a radical approach to an examination of biography. I am unaware of any criticism which addresses theoretical issues of biography using two different genres. The issues under examination in this thesis begin with an attempt to define biography. By means of Possession and Dickens, I explore the nature and parameters of biography. I then examine the issue of truth in biography, and the possibility of distilling the essential nature of a subject from diverse, and probably unreliable sources. Associated with this issue is the question of the authoritative stance of the biographer, both with regard to transmitting the truth about his or her subject, and concerning issues of representation of women in biography. Finally, I examine textual design in biography, and the problematics of fusing factual with aesthetic elements in what purports to be a non-fictional form. My aim is to synthesise the theories expressed by Peter Ackroyd and A.S. Byatt, and a range of other biographers and critics, and thereby generate my own. By contributing to the Poetics of biography, I hope to enhance readers' appreciation of this literary form.

Glosson, Sarah G. "Performing Jane: a cultural history of Jane Austen's fans in America". W&M ScholarWorks, 2015. https://scholarworks.wm.edu/etd/1539720290.

Testo completo
Abstract (sommario):
Jane Austen's American fans have a vibrant history. This dissertation traces how fans have sustained devotion to Austen, her works, and her world since the early nineteenth century through a set of practices still current among fans today: collecting objects and knowledge; writing imitative works; and carrying out literary pilgrimage.;I argue that these three modes of engagement are performative. Through practices such as creating and collecting material objects, and writing and reading fan fiction, fans engage in acts of what Joseph Roach has called surrogation. This is a performative means through which fans seek a substitute for a past affective experience that can never be repeated in the same way, such as reading a beloved novel for the first time. These acts take place within the everyday lives of fans who seek pleasure from Austen's world. Through pilgrimage fans enter into a liminal space, apart from the quotidian, where they may perform subjectivity as fans. These performances are enacted during pilgrimage to Austen-related sites, as well as to special events like those sponsored by the Jane Austen Society of North America.;Throughout this dissertation I offer evidence of fan practices overlooked or underrepresented by past studies. This evidence reveals nearly two hundred years of continuity within the American Austen fandom. These fans enjoy a nostalgic, personal connection to Austen, her characters, and her era. their practices offer means of entering Austen's world, seeking pleasure, fulfillment, and community; they also offer means of re-engaging with the original texts, always in search of something new within the familiar.;This case study of Jane Austen fandom contributes to the larger understanding of fans and fan practices. The Austen fandom boasts unique qualities and has a history predating the term "fan," yet it resembles recent popular culture media fandoms. Through a history of three modes of fan practices, I describe and theorize how performativity and surrogation work within fandom, proposing new, more specific ways of understanding the subjectivity, history, and practices of fans---representing prevalent and creative ways American culture consumes literature and narrative media.

Forester, Gus. "Was Gawain a Gamer?" Digital Commons @ East Tennessee State University, 2014. https://dc.etsu.edu/honors/249.

Testo completo
Abstract (sommario):
Describes a theory of gaming inspired primarily by Jean Baudrillard’s claim that gaming is characterized by a “passion for rules.” Key elements of the theory include that games are an attempt to create a new reality, that games create a space for individuality even in an otherwise homogenized world, and that pain and happiness are not diametrically opposed concepts to the gamer. The theory also emphasizes the importance of the player’s meeting with the “superplayer,” the player’s own constructed ideal that he tries to imitate within the game world. This theory of gaming is then applied to the 14th century British poem, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight both as a demonstration of the theory and to offer a new perspective on the poem. Gawain’s character in the poem is argued as being the archetype of the modern gamer, escaping from an oppressive hegemony by daring to follow the superplayer’s seduction into the passionate world of gaming.

Ferguson, Lisa. "Lady Macbeth and Gertrude: A Study in Gender". TopSCHOLAR®, 2002. http://digitalcommons.wku.edu/theses/656.

Testo completo
Abstract (sommario):
The detailed examination of two of Shakespeare's female leads, Lady Macbeth and Gertrude, is designed to determine whether or not these particular characters were free from the confines of their society, or if they were content within its oppressive grasp. A combination of Feminist Criticism and New Historicism reveals that Lady Macbeth and Gertrude did not overstep the bounds of their gender, but in fact were suppressed within them. The limited rights and freedoms of a woman during the Renaissance is heavily discussed, and aids in giving the reader a vivid impression of Lady Macbeth's and Gertrude's subjugation. As Renaissance women were considered and treated inferior to their husbands in all respects, so are these two characters. Once the supposed driving force behind her husband's actions, Lady Macbeth makes a swift but devastating departure after Macbeth expels her from both his personal and political matters. No longer needing his wife to appease his conscience, Macbeth finds his own aptitude for evil. Torn between her roles as a wife and mother, Gertrude forfeits her happiness to please her overemotional son. Long before her actual death, Gertrude sacrifices a part of her identity to meet Hamlet's expectations. Both women relinquish their hopes and dreams to fulfill those of the men around them. Their blinded selflessness and misplaced devotion result in their ultimate undoing. Though the typical reader of Macbeth and Hamlet sometimes considers these particular female characters to be strong, bold, and selfish, the values of Shakespeare's era and his actual text suggest otherwise. The playwright's time was marked by a bitter gender struggle that pervaded all areas of Renaissance life, including his own work. Upon first glance, Lady Macbeth and Gertrude might come across as women who were strikingly independent. Throughout the progression of the plays, however, both women take a backseat to more important matters, such as politics and war. Even their deaths do not truly belong to them, as they seem to serve as mere asides to the inevitable "manly" action. Striving to meet the expectations of the men they loved, Lady Macbeth and Gertrude lose themselves in the process.

Abstract (sommario):
AbstractDuring the eighteenth century, as the practice of selling books at auction spread throughout Europe, moving beyond its original Dutch origins to the rest of the continent, an increasing number of female-owned libraries were also sold at auction. These sales were accompanied by printed catalogues that, together with widespread discourses about women’s reading, helped construct new images of the female reader. During the same period, a new ideal type of female-gendered library was conceptualized, the bibliothèque choisie, that foregrounded personal reading taste and belles-lettres, and was sometimes associated with historical, real female readers. This essay explores the historical reality of the discursively imagined woman reader, using bibliometric tools to examine a corpus of auction catalogues of smaller and medium-sized female-owned libraries or bibliothèques choisies sold in France, the Dutch Republic and British Isles between 1729 and 1830. Adopting a geographically comparative perspective, I study the historical evolution of these female-owned libraries, focusing particularly on women as readers of devotional literature and of novels. I demonstrate that while women’s libraries did differ perceptibly from men’s libraries, these differences were sometimes subtler than inherited narratives might suggest, and require rich contextualization taking into account multiple geographic, social, and material factors.

Abstract (sommario):
The present chapter traces the emergence of Scottish Atlantic writing in the seventeenth century by focusing on works from the 1620s that promote the colonization of Nova Scotia. It studies works written by James VI and I, William Alexander, Robert Gordon, Thomas Hariott, and Richard Guthry while also discussing the role the Virginia Company and the indigenous Mi'kmaq and Maliseet populations played in Scotland's attempts to colonize Nova Scotia. It situates these agents and works in the larger contexts of European empire-building. It also considers forms of internal colonialism in the British Isles, including writings about the Highlands and Islands and inner-British power dynamics after the Union of Crowns. The utopian tradition offers ways to understanding the spaces, temporalities, and cultural agents in the emerging Scottish Atlantic, including the tropes of newness and reform as well as the intertextual relationships with earlier travelogues and the longevity of the Scottish colonial imagination.

Abstract (sommario):
This chapter introduces the glee and the catch, musical genres quite distinctive in the history of late-eighteenth- and early-nineteenth-century culture. While continental music was dominated by instrumental forms, this unaccompanied vocal music flourished in the British Isles – deliberately nurtured by well-funded competitions. The popularity of catches was also related to their association with men’s sociable drinking; that of glees is partly explained by the literate nature of their texts: the tradition of learned wit, particularly evident in the writings of Laurence Sterne, finds its musical counterpart in the work of Samuel Webbe and others.

Abstract (sommario):
This chapter reads the twelve issues of the journal Archipelago, which was first published in 2007. Launched from the unlikely port of the Bodleian Library, it carried a complement of writers and artists whose coastal work was not thought previously to be part of a collective enterprise. Under Andrew McNeillie, the writer, editor, and provocateur, the twelve issues of Archipelago created a tilted framework through which to interpret the cultural history of the formerly, and temporarily, British Isles. This much is evident from the journal’s cover, which features an illustration of Ireland, Scotland, England, Wales, and the very tip of France from the far north-west perspective of a gannet’s plunge. This is a composite vision, geographic, ecological, and prophetic, a manifesto sketched in the unfamiliar outlines of an archipelago whose borders the journal navigates in a journey that proceeds in sequences of association.

Abstract (sommario):
This analysis of content, forums, and writing styles in the Irish language press spans the creation of an Irish reading public in the Irish Revival and Revolutionary period to the literary advances in the mid-twentieth century and the challenges of journalism in a minority language in twenty-first century Ireland. The first Irish language newspaper An Claidheamh Soluis (1899-1932) created a forum for public discourse and literature. Professional recognition aided high standard journalistic practices while provincial periodicals, An Lóchrann (1907), An Crann (1916), An Stoc (1917) and An Branar (1919) also brought new vision to an embryonic Irish language press. Despite a minority reading public, the Irish language print press carved its niche during the twentieth century and the English language press was a valuable ally in creating a modern Irish literature. Transnational journalism re-emerged in the 1980s with Domhnall Mac Amhlaigh’s columns from Liverpool published in the Irish Times. Foinse (1996) and Lá (1980) demonstrate that professional and community journalism had come of age by the end of the twentieth century. A necessary change of direction ensured that online journals, Beo.ie, Nósmag and Gaelscéal flagged a new era in twenty-first century Irish language journalism providing international dimensions.

Abstract (sommario):
Abstract Literature In English is an increasingly international, even global, phenomenon. Writers all over the world, from the Pacific, Asia, Africa, and the West Indies as well as from the traditional centers in the British Isles and the United States, use English as a medium for fiction and poetry. One consequence has been that literature in English has become increasingly cross- or multicultural, as writing about a given culture is destined-because of its language, English, and its place of publication, usually London or New York-to have readers of many other cultures. This is not simply a matter of readers in the traditional centers of the English language struggling to understand work rooted in other cultural traditions; a Kenyan reader of a Nigerian or Guyanese or Indian novel is caught up in the same multicultural dynamic as an American reader of that novel.

Abstract (sommario):
Abstract The art ballad entered German literature in the mid-eighteenth century, but it truly began its dominance with the so-called ballad year 1797, when Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and Friedrich Schiller volleyed back and forth an evolving set of formally ambitious variations on popular themes. This entrance into the German literary canon decisively inflected the cultural presuppositions and political anxieties that attached to the new form of the art ballad. In the British Isles, the ballad had become an object of interest after the Act of Union (1707): it told national histories belonging to nations understood to belong to the past. In Germany, the national community to which these poems addressed themselves was located in the future. In the British Isles, the ballad had begun reaching a broader literary public under empiricist premises, and the questions around balladry were about provenance, authenticity, and evidence. The initial German discourse around balladry drew heavily on the British conversation but did so with a temporal lag and under radically different premises. When Goethe and Schiller undertook their ballad research, they constituted a new and explicitly invented canon of poems in a network with other writers, but also with composers, visual artists, and others. Authenticity alternated with irony throughout their efforts, and their ballads manage to tell stories of both ancient memories and decidedly contemporary media. This was to shape the German ballad going forward: while it could often seem nostalgic, the form was ideally positioned to register historic change and modernization as it occurred.
