Polyphony and the anxiety of influence in the fiction of Henry James
Get PDFJames'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
Roderick the Last of the Goths (1814) de Robert Southey: estructura, análisis y traducción
No full textThis paper analyses the most relevant work written by the English poet Robert Southey: Roderick the Last of the Goths. With this poem, written in 25 cantos, the author gained a reputation with his contemporary critics that raised him over Milton’s Paradise Lost. After presenting a brief introduction to Don Rodrigo’s figure, that inspired Southey, and also to that of this minor Lake poet and his forays into Spanish history, the present study provides an analysis of the poem and the translation of Canto II, “Roderick in Solitude”, composed of 246 lines in free verse. The translation in alexandrines will allow us to maintain the same elegance and atmosphere of the original poem.Trabajo que analiza la obra más relevante del escritor inglés Southey: Roderick the Last of the Goths, poema escrito en 25 cantos y por el que su autor recibiría los elogios más encendidos de la crítica contemporánea, que lo llegaría a encumbrar por encima de Paradise Lost de Milton. Tras una breve introducción a la figura en que se inspira Southey, el rey Don Rodrigo, así como al menor de los poetas lakistas y sus incursiones en la historia de España, llevamos a cabo un análisis del poema, para traducir posteriormente el canto segundo, “Roderick in Solitude”, formado por 246 versos libres, que traducidos en alejandrinos, lo que nos permite conservar toda la elegancia y atmósfera del poema original

Molecular ecology of plant cell wall hydrolysis by mixed cultures of Ruminococcus albus 8, Ruminococcus flavefaciens FD-1 and Fibrobacter succinogenes S85
No full textA total of 6 specific oligonucleotide probes were designed for the Ruminococci, 3 targeted to sites on 16S rRNA of Ruminococcus albus and 3 targeted to sites on 16S rRNA of Ruminococcus flavefaciens. A subspecies probe for Fibrobacter succinogenes S85 (Stahl et al., 1988) and a eubacterial kingdom probe (Stahl and Amann, 1991) also were used. Bacteria were grown as monocultures, dicultures and in triculture on cellobiose, cellulose and alkaline hydrogen peroxide-treated wheat straw to study competition among the three bacterial species on these substrates. The cellubiose-grown cultures were incubated at 39\sp\circC for 10 hours and sampled hourly. The cellulose and alkaline hydrogen peroxide-treated wheat straw-grown cultures were incubated at 39\sp\circC for 70 hours and sampled every 8 hours. Ribosomal RNA was extracted from all the samples, blotted on nylon membranes and hybridized with labelled \sp{32}P probes. The membranes the were exposed to films. Results showed that R. albus 8 inhibited the growth of R. flavefaciens FD-1 when grown as a diculture on cellubiose or cellulose. However, R. albus 8 was outnumbered by F. succinogenes S85 on cellobiose but not on cellulose. R. flavefaciens FD-1 outnumbered F. succinogenes S85 on both cellobiose and cellulose. In the triculture, R. flavefaciens FD-1 was inhibited, R. albus 8 appeared to dominate during early incubation (12-48 hours) on cellulose, while F. succinogenes S85 became predominant during the late incubation phase (60-70 hours). On alkaline hydrogen peroxide-treated wheat straw, F. succinogenes S85 grew better than either R. albus 8 or R. flavefaciens FD-1. However, R. flavefaciens FD-1 was present in low numbers throughout the incubation period unlike on cellobiose and cellulose. The results on cellobiose and cellulose suggest that R. albus 8 produced a substance that inhibited the growth of R. flavefaciens FD-1.Made available in DSpace on 2011-05-07T12:23:49Z (GMT).

On English Pygmies and Giants: the Physical Stature of English Youth in the late-18th and early-19th Centuries
Get PDFThe physical stature of lower- and upper-class English youth are compared to one another and to their European and North American counterparts. The height gap between the rich and poor was the greatest in England, reaching 22 cm at age 16. The poverty-stricken English children were shorter for their age than any other European or North American group so far discovered, while the English rich were the tallest in their time: only 2.5 cm shorter than today’s US standards. Height of the poor declined in the late-18th century, and again in the 1830s and 1840s conforming to the general European pattern, while the height of the wealthy tended rather to increase until the 1840s and then levelled off
Arthur William Upfield: a biography
Get PDFThis dissertation is an exhaustive account of the life and work of Arthur William Upfield (1890-1964). It is presented as a critical biography and narrates the life of the writer, in his socio-cultural milieu, from birth. It also positions Upfield as a writer who dealt with issues of Aboriginality at a time when this was a singularly polemical subject. My work is informed by the theory of Zygmunt Bauman and others and is posited in the context of late-modern biography theory.
English-born, Upfield arrived in Australia in 1911 and took work in the bush, serving overseas with the Australian army at the outbreak of World War I and marrying an Australian army nurse in Egypt. Returning with his wife and son to Australia in 1921 he intermittently carried his swag until he was employed patrolling the Western Australian number 1 rabbit-proof fence for three years to 1931. By that time he had published four novels, including two crime novels featuring his fictional creation, the part-Aboriginal, part-European, Detective-Inspector Napoleon Bonaparte ('Bony'), arguably the first fully-developed character in Australian popular fiction.
Leaving the fence, Upfield settled with his family in Perth and wrote full-time until joining the Melbourne Herald in 1933. Retrenched, he resumed career writing to be further interrupted by a war-time intelligence posting in 1939. In 1943 the first Bony mysteries were published in America, where Upfield's critical success was maintained until his death. In 1945 he left his wife for Jessica Uren, to whom he remained devoted.
Upfield's in all twenty-nine Bony novels, many of which have been translated across eleven languages, afforded him notable success both at home and abroad, in good part due to his descriptive gifts and the uniqueness of his fictional character, the part-Aboriginal Bony
