Reconsidering Elizabeth Bowen’s Shorter Fiction

Reconsidering Elizabeth Bowen’s Shorter Fiction

Heather Levy

Rowman Littlefield
2020
sidottu
Reconsidering Elizabeth Bowen’s Shorter Fiction: Dead Reckoning focuses on Elizabeth Bowen's representations of violence against the self and others. Heather Levy examines the complicity of landscape and the implications of mayhem, murder, and suicide in The Collected Stories of Elizabeth Bowen (2006) edited by Angus Wilson and The Bazaar and Other Stories (2008) edited by Alan Hepburn. It introduces five previously unpublished short story fragments and two nearly complete stories from The Elizabeth Bowen Collection at The Harry Ransom Research Center. Levy argues that Bowen's shorter fiction is a quixotic celebration of moral transgression, crime without punishment, and suicide without mourners. Bowen's compassionate response to offenders and violence anticipated the Perpetrator Trauma movement in the United States. Her innovations with the freedom of the short story produced an uncanny narration of violence. This book integrates the entirety of the scholarship on Bowen's short stories in a clear and original manner and offers a synthetic and compelling excavation of Bowen's unpublished short stories.

Queen Elizabeth's Book of Oxford

Queen Elizabeth's Book of Oxford

Bodleian Library
2006

Queen Elizabeth’s Book of Oxford was made in 1566 as a gift for Elizabeth I on the occasion of her first royal visit to Oxford. It was made, however, not just out of reverence for the Queen, but with the aim of getting her to endow the foundation of a new college. This sophisticated tour guide is presented as a dialogue between the Queen and her guide, in which the monarch asks questions which allow the guide to extol the generosity of the founders of each college they visit. The book failed. Queen Elizabeth founded no new institutions, but the exercise has left us with a fascinating insight into ideas of patronage and endowment in Elizabeth’s day. This unique manuscript contains a Latin verse account of the famous buildings of the University illustrated by a series of beautiful pen drawings, and conceived by its scholarly producers as an imaginary progress through these locations. The complete manuscript is now made available for the first time in actual-size facsimile with full-text translation, a commentary on the images, and an analytical essay which places the manuscript in its historical context.

Mary Elizabeth Braddon's Belgravia

Mary Elizabeth Braddon's Belgravia

Ruth Morris

Academica Press
2011
sidottu
This work has grown out of a previous study entitled Mary Elizabeth Braddon and the Jewish Question: A Victorian English Novelist and the Worlds of Anglo-Jewry, Zionism and Judaism, 1859-1913, which focused solely upon Braddon’s novels and used them as a lens through which the changes in the Anglo-Jewish community throughout her lifetime could be charted within her work. Although the study examines over seventy of her novels, any understanding of `the Jewish Question’ in relation to Braddon is incomplete without also considering the portrayal of Jewish people and Jewish customs within her periodical, Belgravia: A London Magazine (1866-1899). References to Jews, Judaism or Jewish life in general span the entire time period of the magazine.

Spartan Press

Elizabeth's City is Kansas City, or the raw part of it new to suburban James, who falls in love with both city and Liz. Though James "loses" his innocence, it is well-lost, because Kevin Rabas is more interested in how James comes into experience, into the fierce grip of forces larger than himself, into language, into the story and stories he will carry, like his drums, through the rest of his life. Elizabeth's City is a wonderfully haunting portrait of a person, a place, and the permanence of impermanence.--Thomas Fox Averill, O. Henry Award winner, whose most recent novel is Found Documents from the Life of Nell Johnson Doerr, University of New Mexico Press "In Kevin Rabas's Elizabeth's City, Rabas writes in the zeitgeist of Kansas City in the Nineties to show us this city where James can only be a visitor of in a coming-of-age story. From his suburb life, James is Downtown for the college, but the true lessons come from Elizabeth's Kansas City, a city of jazz and an underground arts scene, where artists are impoverished, gritty, only trying to make ends meet. We, too, are lessoned in these blocks of clubs and coffee houses, a city before any KC Crossroads Arts District or Power & Light District, a Kansas City before the reconstruction and full gentrification of today. Yes, this is Elizabeth's City James leads us through an adventure down--through roads of promise, streets of struggle, and alleyways of elegy." -Dennis Etzel Jr., My Grunge of 1991

For more than eight years, author Dr. David A. Bishop and his family struggled to get answers for their daughter, Elizabeth, who was diagnosed with autism at only a year and a half old. Autism is a condition approaching epidemic proportions. It has become so pervasive most public schools today have entire classrooms dedicated to teaching autistic children. Despite this prevalence, support, education, health care, and legal support have lagged. Autism is poorly understood by most people, yet just about everyone knows of a family or child afflicted with it. In Elizabeths Song, Bishop narrates their saga of love, tears, and hope, sharing the lessons they learned about handling common issues, such as health care, insurance, and educational needs. A how-to guide to also dealing with the emotional aspects of autism, it provides support, strength, and hope in the form of pertinent scripture and testimony of the endless blessing of Gods love.

With such a provocative title, Elizabeth's Precious Kitty EPK, arouses ones curiosity as to what type of play it could be. But as they say, never judge a book by its cover. EPK promises to take you well beyond the dungeon and day to day happenings of its main character Elizabeth, who just so happens to be Virgin Dominatrix. EPK is a wonderfully titillating, sensual, fun, erotic, 3-person modern day farcical play, that promises to shock and entertain the audience. In this day of 50-shades of Grey, Elizabeth opens the doors for female empowerment and sexuality, while setting up the great debate of man vs. woman and woman vs. mother. Strong and forceful with her clients, this well-respected and beautiful Dominatrix, finds herself at a crossroads with one of her biggest battles, fighting for her virginity, her most "precious kitty," against the nagging woes of her dead Mother's desire to become a grandmother and the uninvited appearance of a mystical hideous stranger. While Elizabeth revels in the esteemed honor of being a fierce Dominatrix, also known as the "Baddest" chick in the BDSM world, she has never felt, needed nor wanted the physical touch of a man and plans on being a Virgin for the rest of her life. Like most mothers wanting to see their only child bear fruit, Mother Dear serves as the consummate reminder that Elizabeth's biological clock is about to start ticking, or has it already started, stopping at nothing to continue the family bloodline, even in death. But while the two battle the debate, Elizabeth is visited by the charming hideous man-creature, Panner, whom she finds herself uncharacteristically engaging in his strange desires and demands for her exclusive services.

Performativity in Elizabeth Gaskell’s Shorter Fiction

Performativity in Elizabeth Gaskell’s Shorter Fiction

Melissa Schaub

Springer Nature Switzerland AG
2019
sidottu
This book simultaneously examines the specific theoretical issues raised by Elizabeth Gaskell’s use of characterization in her shorter fiction, and addresses the larger question of how literary critics ought to use theory. The text gives a history of Judith Butler’s theory of performativity and the uptake of that theory in literary criticism, and also provides detailed close reading of Gaskell’s fiction—both frequently examined texts like Cranford, Mary Barton, and Wives and Daughters, and some that are less often studied, such as “Lizzie Leigh” and Cousin Phillis. The book argues that as theory becomes naturalized into the vocabulary of literary scholars, it often becomes more optimistic and less specific. In discussing the naturalization of theory exemplified by the application of performativity to Gaskell, the book advances general principles on the use of theory. It can be read as scholarship or used as a textbook in literary methods courses.
