James Ricketts, Jr. to Susan Niemcewicz, August 23, 1805
No full textJames Ricketts Jr. wrote from Hammersmith, England to Susan Niemcewicz in Elizabethtown, New Jersey. James had penned six letters to his aunt, Susan but surmised that she had not received any of them. James recounted his and his family’s 28-day voyage to Weymouth, England where they had an opportunity to see the King’s yacht, which was painted in an elegant style, and all of the hull was gilt with gold. James described their encounter with French Privateers. At first daylight after arriving at Weymouth, they were roused by a gunshot. After making his way upon deck, he saw a sloop. Another shot whistled past them. They were alarmed at first but their Captain reassured them that he would not let anything happen to their boat if he could help it. James was immediately discharged for cartridges and began loading guns. They were certain it was French Privateers. James’ mother, Sarah, and his sister, Maria, asked the Captain not to fight. The Captain decided to stay idle for a day until a privateer came on board their ship and demanded the Captain come on board their ship with his papers, which he declined. James went on to describe his stay in England at Mr. Bell’s home, which was not very large but very beautiful. The walls were painted with very handsome landscapes and the ceilings were painted like clouds. Mr. Bell also had a handsome green house and everyone stopped to look at the avenue as they passed. James rode through Hyde Park and commented on how beautiful the Kensington Gardens were. St. Paul’s Church was elegant. James was frustrated with the boys selling shoe strings and watch chains and how they continuously asked him to make a purchase after he repeatedly told them no. James discussed mutual friends and acquaintances and asked that Susan remember him kindly to their family and friends in Elizabethtown.
People mentioned: King George III, Mr. and Mrs. Otto, Mr. Bell, Sarah Ricketts, Maria Ricketts, and Mr. Jackson.
Places mentioned: Weymouth, England, Hyde Park, Kensington Gardens, St. Paul’s Church.

'His unspoken natural centre': James Tiptree Jr as the 'Other I'
No full textThroughout literary history, a number of women writers have taken on male nom de plumes. Critics and other observers have noted the ways in which these names have been adopted for pragmatic reasons: in order to provide women with avenues for publication that enhance their reputations as (male) writers, and protect their identities as (female) daughters, sisters, wives and mothers.
Alice B. Sheldon created James Tiptree, Jr in 1967. In this paper, I argue that Tiptree, or ‘Tip’ as he was known to his friends, was not merely a nom de plume. Rather, Tip was a fully realised identity—Alice’s alter ego, or ‘Other I’—a well-known and respected writer who maintained epistolary relationships with other writers, editors, publishers, and readers.
In Seymour Chatman’s, Coming to Terms, he writes that the act of reading is “ultimately an exchange between real human beings, [which] entails two intermediate constructs” (Chatman, 75). This paper examines the ways Tip’s identity, as revealed in his creative works and in his letters, disrupts the gender-normative structure of this ‘exchange’, particularly in terms of the assumed correlation between the gender of the Implied Author and that of the ‘real human being’ he is (mis)recognised as being

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
