Russian Tales II
No full textOriginally published in Great Britain by Kestrel Books: Penguin, Harmondsworth, Middlesex. The content of this book is Yerensay's Forty Fables, and I bought the book because they are labelled fables. At first glance, they seem more like the Tales of 1001 Nights, replete with jealous boots, demons, giants, genies, and winds that pick people up and deliver them long distances away. I was surprised, then, to find some of the stories that have none of these magical elements and more of a fable's tenor. Among them are The Nightingale's Song (33), about a nightingale who finds a clever way to escape from his cage; The Wolf and the Tailor (59), exactly in form like fables in which a ready destroyer is deceived by asking him to allow some action first; Two Lazy Brothers (94), who give up lying under an apple tree waiting for apples to fall because they realize that they would have to expend the effort of chewing them; Two Badgers (115), which warns that badgers should not dream of hunting camels; The Clever Brothers (116) about the perception-skills of the brothers; Who Is the Mightiest in the World? (122), which is the traditional story of marrying a daughter to the greatest, here beginning unusually with ice; The Poor Man and His Thousand Tanga (125) about a clever ruse to get a thief to repay a loan; The Leaning Silver Birch (129) about duping an arrogant rich man into playing the fool; and Upon Jewel Mountain (131) about outwitting an abusive master. A favorite word here is aul, a group of tents. There are lively cuts, about one to a story. A good example illustrates Upon Jewel Mountain (134). These cuts show up even better in color on the dust-jacket. There are a Tof C (7), maps (8-9), glossary (161-2), and commentary (163-171). This volume follows the first in the Russian Tales series, Riordan's Tales from Central Russia.This is a hardbound book (hard cover)This book has a dust jacket (book cover)Retold by James Riorda

Current Status of Lichen Diversity in Iowa
No full textCompilation of available herbarium records, as well as additional collections, lead to an estimate of 6,108 identified lichen specimens collected in Iowa that are included in the Iowa Lichens Database. Approximately 35% of the Iowa lichen accessions were collected prior to 1960, while -65% were collected after 1960. These accessions correspond to 448 species reported for Iowa. Of these 448 species, 42 species of macrolichens appear to be rare or extirpated, based on the criterion of no collection records after 1960. Searches for one of these potentially rare or extirpated lichens, Lobaria pulmonaria, have, thus far, been unsuccessful, and the available evidence supports the conclusion that this lichen species is extirpated from Iowa.This article is published as Colbert, James T.

Polyphony and the anxiety of influence in the fiction of Henry James
No full textJames's fiction, especially in the Middle Phase, centres
on the figure of the artist and is characterized by, the two
interrelated aspects which previous criticism has largely
overlooked: the Bakhtinian 'polyphonic' -creation of
'author-thinkers'; and the conflict between ephebes and
precursors, for which Harold-Bloom's concept of 'the-anxiety of
influence' is the most illuminating model. Polyphony is the
narrative mode, and influence is the intra-artistic, theme.
These, as the Introduction to the thesis makes clear, are
rehearsed in James's inaugural novel, Roderick Hudson. Rowland
Mallet is an author-thinker, and his failure is caused by
authorial limitations. His monologism -is impaired by his
mistaking empathy for the authorial sympathy. Likewise,
Hudson's failure does not arise from a mercurial temperament,
but from a polyphonic shortcoming: not possessing the power of
fiction to contain the fiction of power in, his mentor. And the
relationships among the three artists - Gloriani, Hudson and
Singleton - perfectly exemplify the Bloomian-theme. It is these
two concepts, polyphony and influence, which are the major
preoccupation in the Middle Phase; as, the works chosen
demonstrate. These are a novella, a novel, and a number of
short stories all of which have been unjustifiably neglected.
Chapter One, on The Aspern Papers, argues that Tina Bordereau,
far from being, the artless victim seen by many critics,
actually challenges and defeats the narrator by the very form
of her narrative. Her 'realist' discourse undermines his
language of 'romance', and shows up its internal unstability.
Chapter Two is an extensive study of the critical reception of
The Tragic Muse. The most common areas of critical attention
have been its contemporary topicality, its relation to previous
novels on similar themes, and the possible genealogy of Gabriel
Nash. Those have all missed the core of the work. - Chapter Three
demonstrates how polyphony and the anxiety of influence make
the novel what it really is. Influence arises from the
juxtaposition of, and the wrestling between, artistic ephebes
and their precursors (Nick and Nash,, Miriam and Madame Carre).
The dialogic quality defined by Bakhtin is crucial to the
proper, and even-handed, characterization of all, the conflicts
in the novel. And since most of James's tales in the eighties
and nineties -are about 'masters - and acolytes, the anxiety of
influence remains central. Chapter Four is a study of 'The
Author of Beltraffiol' and 'The Lesson of the Master'. Again the
characters' manipulations are a crucial focus in a way that
G6rard Genette's terminology helps to illuminate. The fact that
the ephebe is the author-thinker emphasizes the inextricability
of the Bakhtinian and the Bloomian in James. Just as
polyphony offers a different focus for explicating the poetics
of James's fiction; so the ephebal conflict provides the basis
for a fresh perception of James's own artistic struggle
