Dante vs Milton: Hell, Sin, and Satan by Noah Moore on Prezi. Lives of the Poets. How James Joyce's Daughter, Lucia, Was Treated for Schizophrenia by Carl Jung. The life of James Joyce’s schizophrenic daughter Lucia requires no particular embellishment to move and amaze us.
The “received wisdom,” writes Sean O’Hagan, about Lucia is that she lived a “blighted life,” as a “sickly second child” after her brother Giorgio. As a teenager, she “pursued a career as a modern dancer and was an accomplished illustrator. At 20, having abandoned both, she fell hopelessly in love with [Samuel] Beckett, a 21-year-old acolyte of her fathers.” The American Novel Since 1945: A Free Yale Course on Novels by Nabokov, Kerouac, Morrison, Pynchon & More. Taught by professor Amy Hungerford, The American Novel Since 1945 offers an introduction to the fertile literary period that followed World War II.
The course description reads: In “The American Novel Since 1945” students will study a wide range of works from 1945 to the present. The course traces the formal and thematic developments of the novel in this period, focusing on the relationship between writers and readers, the conditions of publishing, innovations in the novel’s form, fiction’s engagement with history, and the changing place of literature in American culture. The reading list includes works by Richard Wright, Flannery O’Connor, Vladimir Nabokov, Jack Kerouac, J. The Lost Colours of the Chameleon - Kindle. George Orwell: What is Fascism? Of all the unanswered questions of our time, perhaps the most important is: ‘What is Fascism?’
One of the social survey organizations in America recently asked this question of a hundred different people, and got answers ranging from ‘pure democracy’ to ‘pure diabolism’. In this country if you ask the average thinking person to define Fascism, he usually answers by pointing to the German and Italian régimes. But this is very unsatisfactory, because even the major Fascist states differ from one another a good deal in structure and ideology. It is not easy, for instance, to fit Germany and Japan into the same framework, and it is even harder with some of the small states which are describable as Fascist. A collection of pamphlets, mainly political, formed by George Orwell. English During the mid-1930s and 40s George Orwell became an avid collector of pamphlets.
His astounding collection, totalling more than 2,700 items and dating from around 1915 to 1945, was donated to the British Museum Library at Orwell’s request by his widow, Sonia Orwell, in 1955.

Literature in ELTThe use of literature in the ELT classroom is enjoying a revival for a number of reasons. Having formed part of traditional language teaching approaches, literature became less popular when language teaching and learning started to focus on the functional use of language. However, the role of literature in the ELT classroom has been re-assessed and many now view literary texts as providing rich linguistic input, effective stimuli for students to express themselves in other languages and a potential source of learner motivation.

The place is called the Convergence. Castles in the Air: 8 Gentle Quotes by Transcendentalists. America’s religious streak took off in an odd direction in the early 19th century as Transcendentalist philosophers and writers began tending to a sorely under-nourished part of our national identity, channeling that world-famous revolutionary spirit toward gentler, more introspective aims.
“Resist much, obey little,” wrote Walt Whitman, his metaphor tinged with musket-fire but his message pointing directly toward the reader’s pursuit of his or her essential self. On what would have been the poet’s 198th birthday, we’ve assembled a flight of memorable words scribbled by Whitman’s brothers- and sisters-at-arms in the Transcendentalist movement.

Thompson reviews ‘Wordsworth and Coleridge’ by Nicholas Roe · LRB 8 December 1988. Wordsworth and Coleridge: The Radical Years by Nicholas Roe Oxford, 306 pp, £27.50, March 1988, ISBN 0 19 812868 1 ‘I am of that odious class of men called democrats,’ Wordsworth wrote to his friend William Mathews in 1794.
Much the same can be said of Coleridge, on the evidence of his letters and publications of the mid-1790s. By the early decades of this century, British, French and American scholarship concurred in finding both poets to be, in the 1790s, republicans and advanced reformers, who then suffered disappointment in the course of the French Revolution and, in different ways and at different times, changed their minds. George McLean Harper’s William Wordsworth: His Life, Works and Influence (1919) set a coping-stone on the scholarship of that period. In subsequent decades, despite much patient editorial scholarship, the matter of the poets’ ‘revolutionary’ youth has been obscured and marginalised. 'Howl' by Allen Ginsberg (with subtitles) - HQ. [ Walt Whitman ] I CELEBRATE myself, and sing myself, And what I assume you shall assume, For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.

I loafe and invite my soul, I lean and loafe at my ease observing a spear of summer grass. My tongue, every atom of my blood, form'd from this soil, this air, Born here of parents born here from parents the same, and their parents the same, I, now thirty-seven years old in perfect health begin, Hoping to cease not till death. Creeds and schools in abeyance, Retiring back a while sufficed at what they are, but never forgotten, I harbor for good or bad, I permit to speak at every hazard, Nature without check with original energy. I believe in you my soul, the other I am must not abase itself to you, And you must not be abased to the other. Loafe with me on the grass, loose the stop from your throat, Not words, not music or rhyme I want, not custom or lecture, not even the best, Only the lull I like, the hum of your valved voice.
The 100 best novels: No 76 – On the Road by Jack Kerouac (1957) In 1855, a young American poet named Walt Whitman announced, with typical gusto, that “the United States themselves are essentially the greatest poem”, and made good on this claim in a landmark collection of poems, Leaves of Grass, transforming America’s literary imagination for ever. When, exactly 100 years later, Jack Kerouac began to hammer out the typescript of his own masterpiece, he was consciously responding to Whitman’s challenge “to express the inexpressible”.
This would become Kerouac’s lifelong ambition and it expressed itself as On the Road. The book would be an ur-text for the James Dean decade. To Kerouac, Whitman’s “I hear America singing” was almost an epigraph. The Beat Body: Exploring the Influence of Walt Whitman's Ethos on Beat Literature and Counterculture.
