Structure and kinematic evolution of the Duke River fault, Southwestern Yukon
No full textIn southwest Yukon, the boundary between the Alexander terrane and Wrangellia corresponds with the Duke River Fault. In this paper, we report on observations of the Duke River Fault from four localities in southwest Yukon, and provide new constraints on (1) Permian regional metamorphism within the Alexander terrane, (2) Cretaceous ductile deformation along the Duke River fault and (3) post-Miocene brittle deformation along the fault. Within these areas, the Duke River Fault juxtaposes imbricated, pervasively foliated and folded greenschist-facies rocks of the Alexander terrane southwest of the fault against sub-greenschist-facies, less deformed rocks of Wrangellia. Multiple lines of evidence from this region indicate the Alexander terrane has been juxtaposed against Wrangellia along a southwest-dipping thrust fault. 40Ar/39Ar dates from muscovite, that grew during faulting or have been reset by motion along the Duke River Fault, range from 79 to 105 Ma, suggesting that ductile movement along the fault is at least as old as Cretaceous (Albian to Cenomanian). This phase of faulting is interpreted as the local expression of Cretaceous shortening which has been documented the length and width of the Cordillera. Cretaceous structures along the Duke River Fault are overprinted by brittle deformation that affects rocks as young as Miocene (or Pliocene?). The Duke River Fault appears to be accommodating present day transpression through uplift and reactivation of the thrust fault.The accepted manuscript in pdf format is listed with the files at the bottom of this page.

The Author of the Alexander Romance
No full textThis paper, which is based on a portion of the introduction of the author’s edition of Il Romanzo di Alessandro (Mondadori: Fondazione Valla 2007), surveys the generic components of the Alexander Romance in an attempt to arrive at a definition of the work. The argument builds on Merkelbach’s categorisation of elements and uses Fusillo’s insight into the novel as an ‘encyclopaedic genre’ to propose that ‘historical novel’ is not, as Hägg contended, a misnomer for the work. The main components I discuss are: ‘life’; praxeis; chreiai; Cynic elements, including choliambic poetry and utopian perspectives; and the Egyptian aspects of the narrative. A concluding jeu d’esprit offers a characterisation of the putative author, his antecedents and his process of composition.Richard Stoneman was for 25 years editor for classics at Croom Helm and then Routledge. In 1997 he was appointed an Honorary Fellow in the department of classics, University of Exeter. After retiring from publishing in 2006 he has been pursuing his researches on the Alexander legends and teaching a course on the subject at Exeter. His Penguin translation of the Alexander Romance was published in 1991, and a volume of translated Legends of Alexander the Great appeared from Everyman in 1994. Also in 1994 he co-edited Greek Fiction with John Morgan. His edition of the Greek recensions of the Alexander Romance was published (volume I) by the Fondazione Valla in 2007 – volumes II and III will follow over the next few years – and his Alexander the Great: A Life in Legend appeared from Yale University Press in spring 2008. He is the author of a number of other books on Greek history and travel, and is writing a book on oracles
