Ode to Cary Field
No full textChristopher Robins, September 13, 2009: "I know it sounds quaint today, but believe it or not, I resisted opportunities for personal publicity or to capitalize on my 15 minutes of fame because I felt it would "pollute the cause" (my words). I felt pretty strongly about the issue at the time, and was simply expressing myself in the only way I could. Because there was so much money behind the proposal, most regular people felt helpless in opposition. I confess I took great secret pride in that the "tongue-in-cheek" message was often misconstrued by the many of the targets themselves. I was woken up early on a snowy morning and
asked to play and sing this thing outdoors for a real retro-60s style protest rally, complete with incendiary speeches. Directly in front of me was a cluster of football team members. Instead of the terrible fusillade of snowballs and abuse I expected, I had the surreal experience of the whole group singing the lyrics back at me, word for word, the totality of the crowd drowning out the feeble PA setup." Contemporary newspaper articles about Robins and his song are available in the Special Collections Research Center, Earl Gregg Swem Library, College of William and Mary."Ode to Cary Field" was written and performed by College of William and Mary student Christopher Robins accompanied by fellow student Beth Meade. The song was written to protest the proposed expansion of the stadium at the College of William and Mary. An audio cassette tape of the song was digitized by Swem Library staff in August 2009. The original cassette tape is accession 1980.135 from the University Archives Audiovisual Collection

The death of William Golding: authorship and creativity in darkness visible and the paper men
No full textIn the seventies and eighties William Golding was deeply responsive to the critical, anti-authorial ethos that followed the publication of Roland Barthes's "La mort de I'auteur" (1968). In Darkness Visible (1979) and The Paper Men (1984) he investigates means by which to reaffirm authorial presence. Working through paradox, he performs the authorial death in these novels, and establishes language’s inadequacy as a means of conveying absolute meaning, authorial "vision," truth or revelation. Having done so he nonetheless gestures towards the divine, towards the possibility of a vatic communication. In this manner the novels work upon principles of contradiction and collapse. What remains is a discourse of hope, promise, desire, without means of substantiating such optimism. Thus Golding might be said to have practiced a form of negative theology, and to have anticipated in this respect some recent trends in literary theory
Saint Christopher in medieval Spanish literature
No full textThe thesis explores the legend of Saint Christopher as presented in four fourteenth- and fifteenth-сеntury manuscripts, the oldest extant Castillan accounts. Chapter One outlines the legend's origins in fourth-century Eastern Mediterranean culture, and its trajectory as far as its appearance in Jacobus de Voragine's Legenda aurea, commenting on the changes made to content and emphasis as the account evolved. The focus narrows in Chapter Two, where the transmission from Latin to Castillan is considered in detail, and comparisons drawn between the four vernacular accounts. Chapter Three and Four deal with thematic aspects of the legend as they appear in Spanish, including an exploration of die nature of Christopher in his dual portrayal as saint and monster, and the notions of fear, power and voice as they are depicted in the texts. The four medieval Spanish accounts are edited and presented here (three of them for the first time) in an appendix, complete with critical apparatus
