Why wonder is the most human of all emotions – Jesse Prinz. When I was growing up in New York City, a high point of my calendar was the annual arrival of the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus — ‘the greatest show on earth’.
My parents endured the green-haired clowns, sequinned acrobats and festooned elephants as a kind of garish pageantry. For me, though, it was a spectacular interruption of humdrum reality – a world of wonder, in that trite but telling phrase. Wonder is sometimes said to be a childish emotion, one that we grow out of. But that is surely wrong. As adults, we might experience it when gaping at grand vistas. First, let’s be clear what we’re talking about. These bodily symptoms point to three dimensions that might in fact be essential components of wonder. English contains many words related to this multifarious emotion.

Why Study Critical Controversies about The Tempest? Controversy Suppressed: One Student's Experience A student we know tells the following story about studying Shakespeare's The Tempest in two different college courses: "In my freshman year, I took a Comparative Literature course in which we read Shakespeare's Tempest.
The professor took a very different approach to Shakespeare than my high school teachers had. For her, Shakespeare was not a transcendent genius we students were supposed to worship but a historical figure implicated in the politics of his time. William Shakespeare: Is "The Tempest" Shakespeare's answer to "Dr. Faustus" Shakespeare's The Tempest 'was intended as a musical' Jonathan Holmes, the artistic director of Jericho House, also said Shakespeare should have shared credit for the play with Robert Johnson, a composer and lute player.
In a two-year research project, Mr Holmes claims to have unearthed proof that the playwright worked with Johnson as equals on the play, which was penned in 1610 and 1611 and is believed to the last work that Shakespeare wrote alone. The Tempest tells the story of a Prospero, the exiled Duke of Milan, and his attempts to restore his daughter Miranda to her rightful position, using illusion and skilful manipulation. In his research, Mr Holmes points to unexplained musical references in every scene to back up his theory. The conclusions – which will be spelt out in a study released next month – were given a cautious welcome by academics.

Written in the midst of World War II after its author emigrated to America, "The Sea and the Mirror" is not merely a great poem but ranks as one of the most profound interpretations of Shakespeare's final play in the twentieth century.
As W. H. Groundbreaking Book: For the Time Being (featuring "The Sea and the Mirror") by W.H. Auden (1944) Born in England in 1907, Wystan Hugh Auden grew up in Birmingham, England and started writing his earliest poems in the late 1920s.
The impassioned intensity of the tone of his verse as well as his affiliation with Christ Church, Oxford introduced Auden to the public as a political poet and prophet. In the late 1930s, Auden attempted to distance himself from this characterization, and eventually moved to the United States in 1939. In 1940, after already residing in Brooklyn Heights for one year, W.H. Auden made his application for U.S. Citizenship, which would be finalized in 1946.
Hear Sylvia Plath Read Fifteen Poems From Her Final Collection, Ariel, in 1962 Recording. “Add to the available accounts of Plath (there are so many) this, please: nobody brought a house to life the way she did.”
So writes Dan Chiasson in a February New Yorker piece commemorating the fiftieth anniversary of Sylvia Plath’s death. Chiasson’s plea is made all the more poignant by his careful readings of the tenderness—amidst the pain and horror—in Plath’s final collection, Ariel, which she left sitting on the kitchen table to be found along with her body. (The collection has recently been restored to correspond to Plath’s final wishes). Chiasson’s refocusing of Plath’s legacy feels necessary, given that, as James Parker writes in The Atlantic, “Her short life has been trampled and retrampled under the biographer’s hoof, her opus viewed and skewed through every conceivable lens of interpretation.” It is sometimes difficult to connect with work—even with that as stunningly accomplished and resonant as Plath’s—through this thick haze of sensationalism and cult fandom.

Who’s afraid of “The Tempest”? As part of the state-mandated termination of its ethnic studies program, the Tucson Unified School District released an initial list of books to be banned from its schools today. According to district spokeperson Cara Rene, the books “will be cleared from all classrooms, boxed up and sent to the Textbook Depository for storage.” Facing a multimillion-dollar penalty in state funds, the governing board of Tucson’s largest school district officially ended the 13-year-old program on Tuesday in an attempt to come into compliance with the controversial state ban on the teaching of ethnic studies. The list of removed books includes the 20-year-old textbook “Rethinking Columbus: The Next 500 Years,” which features an essay by Tucson author Leslie Silko.
Recipient of a Native Writers’ Circle of the Americas Lifetime Achievement Award and a MacArthur Foundation genius grant, Silko has been an outspoken supporter of the ethnic studies program.
