Oliver Goldsmith and His Relation to the Theory of British Drama in the England of His Time
No full textThe purpose of this thesis is to discover the relationship of Oliver Goldsmith to the sentimental movement in progress in the England of his time. The author has endeavored to present a clear picture of the times with reference to the theatres, the type of audiences, and popular tastes. In a general way the writer has gone into the period before Goldsmith, which is known as the period of the Restoration and before that into the age of Puritanism. Under the heading of Restoration Drama is included a discussion of the Comedy of Manners and its chief adherents, Etherege, Wycherly, and Congreve. The author also attempted to show the influence of sentiment on the writers of the period and upon their audiences and the source of this movement. In a later chapter the author has discussed in detail The Older Tradition in Goldsmith and Sheridan ; the influence of each upon the sentimental drama and their contribution to modern drama. As a conclusion an attempt has been made to trace briefly the success of Oliver Goldsmith with regard to his efforts to crush or completely quell the sentimental movement

No full textThe priority for ideas and philosophy related to "Network Theory" have been traced back and documented by Braun(2004),and credit goes to Karinthy(1929).The IT has empowered to realise it, as the most practical phenomena and it is no more a humour. The OAI (Open Archives Initiatives)and ACIS (Academic Contributor Information System)are progressive in the direction ,which may lead to realise the "Collective Genius" at global level. Focus of present study is on Author-Self-Archiving (A-S-A)Metadata of the 983 Eprints in the Live Archives of the E-LIS (EPrints of Library and Information Science),which were approved till 7th July 2004.The A-S-A Metadata was used for librametric analysis. Self-explanatory bibliographics are illustrated.The highlights include: Conference papers (34%); highest approval, June 2004 (28%); published archives (76%);not refereed (52%); not in public domain (60%); highest self-archiving-author (De Robbio, Antonella).The Nos. of EPrints having single JITA domain specifications were: Theoretical and general aspects of libraries and information(27); Information use and sociology of information(80);Users,literacy and reading(13);Libraries as physical collections(30);Publishing and legal issues(57);Management(13);Industry, profession and education(36);Information sources, supports, channels(113) ; Information treatment for information services, Information functions and techniques (101); Technical services libraries, archives and museums(25); Housing technologies(1); Information technology and library technology(92); and Inter-domainery (395) i.e. having specifications of two or more than two JITA classes

No full textThe Moral Self in Eighteenth-Century Poetry: A Study in the Poetics of Gray, Goldsmith, Cowper and Yearsley
No full textThis thesis explores one aspect of the ‘inward turn’ that is a significant feature of English poetry in the later eighteenth century. It claims that a representative group of poets construct an authorial ‘self’ in which the personal pronoun ‘I’ becomes an authoritative guarantor of social and moral judgements. It suggests that this move was a response to Lockeian ideas of personal identity and economic individualism which were subsequently refined and developed by theoreticians such as David Hume and Adam Smith such that the ‘self’ was conceived not merely as the site of the sensorium but also the site of moral judgement.
It identifies Thomas Gray as the initiator of this development, arguing that his earlier poems, and particularly his Elegy, were revolutionary in their attempts to accommodate Locke’s ideas as a means of combating both the fissiparous nature of the literary market place and the hegemonic practices of the aristocratic class. The reception of the Elegy led Gray to believe he had failed, but his construction of the ‘swain’s’ dual identity who both judges and is judged was to resonate in the persona of Goldsmith’s narrator of The Deserted Village. Goldsmith’s essentially conservative outlook meant that this poem was fractured and it was not until Cowper’s The Task that a fully coherent realisation of Gray’s poetics was achieved.
The thesis finally considers Ann Yearsley’s work, arguing that her construction of a ‘self’ as narrator and social judge was fraught with difficulty both because of her position as a female labouring-class poet, and because of the repressive response to the French Revolution. The concluding chapter draws together the implications of the preceding chapters

Tradição e apropriação: El hacedor (de Borges), remake de Fernández Mallo
No full textThe cultural scene suggests that the figure of the author occupies an ambivalent position in the contemporary world. While we cannot so easily dismiss the author’s name and the function it plays in the relationship it has with the literary text, we have been dealing with incidents and works that demonstrate a certain amount of detachment and slipping in the author function, suggesting a reinvention of the mode of inscribing signatures. This essay aims at reviewing one such case, that of El Hacedor (remake), by the Spanish writer Agustín Fernández Mallo. Identifying in this text a compositional strategy that recycles ideas and images already present in the work of Jorge Luis Borges, it is easy to see how such a writing procedure profits from theoretical foundations suggested in the notions of “uncreative writing”, as elaborated by Kenneth Goldsmith and “unoriginal genius”, investigated by Marjorie Perloff. Accordingly, my hypothesis is that the “creative appropriation” in operation can be seen as a strategy of redimensioning of the modes of understanding the dynamics of authorship in the literary system, compromising, by extension, the notions of work, of originality, and the very concept of literature.O cenário cultural espalha indícios de que a figura do autor ocupa no contemporâneo uma posição ambivalente. Ao mesmo tempo em que não podemos nos descartar tão facilmente de seu nome e da função que exerce na relação que mantém com o texto literário, já convivemos com episódios e obras que demonstram um desprendimento, um deslizamento dessa mesma função, sugerindo uma reinvenção do modo de inscrever assinaturas. Assim, a comunicação quer apostar no comentário de um estudo de caso em particular: trata-se de El hacedor (de Borges), remake do escritor espanhol Agustín Fernández Mallo. Identificando nesse texto uma estratégia de composição que recicla ideias e imagens já presentes na obra de Jorge Luis Borges, é fácil ver como tal procedimento de escrita ganha fundamento teórico se consideramos as noções de “escrita não-criativa” tal como elaborada por Kenneth Goldsmith e “gênio não original”, investigada por Marjorie Perloff. Nesse sentido, a hipótese é que a “apropriação criativa” em operação pode ser considerada como uma estratégia de redimensionamento dos modos de entendimento da autoria na dinâmica de forças do sistema literário, comprometendo, por tabela, a noção de obra, de originalidade e o próprio conceito de literatura
Collecting metadata from institutional repositories
No full textThe purpose of this article is to review metadata issues identified in recent research carried out in Scotland on services based on metadata aggregation via OAI-PMH, and to examine the role of collection-level description in managing ingest to harvested repositories, subsequent harvesting by secondary aggregators, and the contextualisation of institutional and aggregated repositories in the wider information retrieval environment. The paper reviews the output of several projects involving institutional repositories and collection-level description in Scotland. Collection-level description is a useful tool for aggregator services, but further work is required to accommodate information about the manipulation of metadata sets. Communities need to consider how best to incorporate structured collection information within the OAI-PMH for their specific purposes. The paper shows the importance of recent developments in collection description metadata for implementors of OAI-PMH services, building on the simple placeholders for such metadata allowed by the protocol
