Swinburne’s The Statue of John Brute
Author: Fabio Ciambella
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 152751045X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 97
Book Description
Wrongly believed to be a parodic divertissement by the nineteenth-century English poet Algernon Charles Swinburne, The Statue of John Brute reveals itself as a highly interesting intertextual universe where echoes from Shakespeare, the Restauration drama, Beckford, Gothic fiction, and many other sources of inspiration mix together in an extremely short but explosive text. At the heart of this volume is an absolutely original analysis of this relatively unknown text, meant to acknowledge its paramount importance as Oscar Wilde’s source for his well-known The Picture of Dorian Gray. While trying to confute the hypotheses put forward by critics from the 1920s and 1930s who believed The Statue to be a fin-de-siècle parody of Wilde’s Aesthetic masterpiece, this study anticipates its date of composition by almost twenty years – through an accurate bio-literary and corpus-stylistic analysis – thus recognising it not as a parody, but as a possible hypotext of Dorian Gray.

If You Can't Trust Your Mother, Whom Can You Trust?
Author: Leonard Shengold
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 0429914725
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 275
Book Description
The main theme of this book concerns the continuing psychic centrality of parents for their children. Several chapters examine an author and his works, outlining that author's relationships with parents, good-and-bad, and making descriptive comments about these based both on information gleaned from the author's life and writings as well as from observations found in autobiographies, biographies and critical works. Since these studies in part concern stories of child abuse and deprivation, the book predominantly illustrates bad parenting that seems to have contributed to the child's psychopathology. Yet in most cases there has also been an evocation by the trauma and deprivation of adaptive and even creative reactions--this positive effect also of course largely attributable to concomitant good parenting--and yet there are some cases where little of this seems to have existed and yet the children still turn out to be able to make something of themselves. The conditions that make for psychic health in a traumatized childhood are mysterious and can't always be accounted for.

The Quest for Shakespeare
Author: Jeffrey Kahan
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319487817
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 186
Book Description
This book traces the formation and impact of the New Shakspere Society, created in 1873, which dedicated itself to solving the mysteries of Shakespeare’s authorship by way of science. This promise, however, was undermined not only by the antics of its director, Frederick J. Furnivall, but also by the inexactitudes of the tests. Jeffrey Kahan puzzles out how a society geared towards science quickly devolved into a series of grudge matches. Nonetheless, the New Shakspere Society set the bibliographical and biographical agenda for the next century—an unusual legacy for an organization that was rife with intrigue, enmity, and incompetence; lives were ruined, lawyers consulted, and scholarship (mostly bad) produced and published.
