This title offers new research into cultural afterlife of Dante in nineteenth-century literature, culture and the visual arts. The figure of Dante's Beatrice can be seen as a cultural phenomenon or myth during the nineteenth century, inspiring a wide variety of representations in literature and the visual arts. This study looks at the cultural afterlife of Beatrice in the Victorian period in remarkably different contexts. Focusing on literary representations and selected examples from the visual arts, this book examines works by Dante Gabriel Rossetti and Christina Rossetti, George Eliot, Alfred Lord Tennyson and Walter Pater as well as by John Ruskin, Maria Rossetti and Arthur Henry Hallam. Julia Straub's analysis shows how the various representations of Beatrice in literature and in the visual arts reflect in meaningful ways some of the central social and aesthetic concerns of the Victorian period, most importantly its discourse on gender. This study offers fascinating insights into the Victorian reception of Dante by exploring the powerful appeal of his muse.

This monograph explores transatlantic literary culture by tracing the proliferation of ‘new media,’ such as the anthology, the literary history and the magazine, in the period between 1750 and 1850. The fast-paced media landscape out of which these publishing genres developed produced the need of a ‘memory of literature’ and a concomitant rhetoric of remembering strikingly similar to what today is called a cultural memory debate. Thus, rather than depicting the emergence of an American national literature, The Rise of New Media(1750–1850) combines impulses from media history, the history of print, the sociology of literature and canon theory to uncover nascent forms and genres of literary self-reflectivity and early stirrings of a canon debate in the Atlantic World.

Transatlantic literary studies have provided important new perspectives on North American, British and Irish literature. They have led to a revision of literary history and the idea of a national literature. They have changed the perception of the Anglo-American literary market and its many processes of transatlantic production, distribution, reception and criticism. Rather than dwelling on comparisons or engaging with the notion of ‘influence,’ transatlantic literary studies seek to understand North American, British and Irish literature as linked with each other by virtue of multi-layered historical and cultural ties and pay special attention to the many refractions and mutual interferences that have characterized these traditions since colonial times.This handbook brings together articles that summarize some of the crucial transatlantic concepts, debates and topics. The contributions contained in this volume examine periods in literary and cultural history, literary movements, individual authors as well as genres from a transatlantic perspective, combining theoretical insight with textual analysis.

Anthology from the year 2024 in the subject American Studies - Literature, , language: English, abstract: This anthology contains four term papers. The first paper delves into the acclaimed work of literary realism, "e;The Great Gatsby"e; by F. Scott Fitzgerald, and its cinematic adaptation by Baz Luhrmann in 2013. Rather than debating fidelity or artistic superiority between literature and cinema, the focus is on exploring adaptations as autonomous artworks. The narrowed scope centers on the examination of elements of unreliable narration in "e;The Great Gatsby"e; and how they are transposed onto the screen in the 2013 adaptation. The aim of the second paper is to analyze what message F. Scott Fitzgerald as a modernist writer tries to convey to his readership through the employment of the theme of adultery in his 1925 novel "e;The Great Gatsby"e;. Most importantly, based on the assumption that committing adultery fulfils different functions in the novel, it presents Daisy Buchanan s and Myrtle Wilson s motivations pushing them to do it. The "e;Great Gatsby"e; seems to tell a story about a typified American Dream, a young man who was able to escape poverty and living a high-class lifestyle. But after all it cannot be easily determined if it is a story that represents the American Dream or if the Dream he had changed into a Nightmare. The third text presents the American Nightmare in the novel with specific symbols that play an important role, his failure and the price he had to pay for his dream. Is Gatsby s economic success nevertheless a realization of the American Dream? It is important to ask that question because often "e;The Great Gatsby"e; is mainly associated with the American Dream and its typical lifestyle. How did Gatsby make his way up to the top? And how important is wealth, success and his social status really in his opinion? In the fourth text those questions will be given a closer look at.

'Some big bootlegger?'"e; At this moment in the novel nobody would have guessed that Tom was right. During the time of Prohibition many newly rich people earned their money from the bootlegging business, selling illegal alcohol out of their back doors. And Jay Gatsby is one of them. But is Gatsby's economic success nevertheless a realization of the American Dream? It is important to ask that question because often The Great Gatsby is mainly associated with the American Dream and its typical lifestyle. Parties, money, expensive cars and women dressed in the typical fashion of the Golden Twenties . But there is much more behind Jay Gatsby s story. How did he make his way up to the top? And how important is wealth, success and his social status really in his opinion? In the following those questions will be given a closer look at. At first a definition and the history of the American Dream will be given. Then there will be some general information about the Prohibition. The next point is about Gatsby s wealth and his success with a special focus on his illegal affairs. Afterwards Gatsby s reputation in society, also concerning his wealth and illegal means will be analysed.

Essay from the year 2018 in the subject History of Europe - Ages of World Wars, grade: 1,0, Cardiff University, course: German literature, language: English, abstract: Germany under the regime of Hitler and the Nazis was without a doubt the darkest period of German history. But although the number was small, some Germans indeed tried to resist National Socialism. This essay will deal with this minority of Germans. It aims to answer the question of how much resistance there really was in Germany. Because even though the resistance was small, and they were unable to overthrow Hitler's regime, it is still a relevant topic to discuss and historians have not settled on one opinion yet. The essay will foremost deal with the question of what forms of resistance there were and what impact they had. But to answer these questions, the essay will start with the question What is resistance? , as this is not an easy term to define. The main part of the essay deals with the different forms of resistance which will be analysed by giving examples of people and groups who represented individual forms of resistance. The essay will focus only on the most important forms and events as not all of them can be covered in the size of the essay. The last point will deal with the importance of resistance to the Nazi regime and what impact it had, which is also connected to the question, why the resistance was not bigger.

Essay from the year 2018 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Applied Geography, grade: 1,0, Cardiff University, language: English, abstract: In 2019 Britain faces an important change concerning not only their politics and economy, but also their environment. On June 23, 2016 UK citizens voted to leave the European Union by 51.9%. But why does this change also concern the environment? The EU's record on environmental issues is arguably one of its greatest achievements. As soon as the UK is leaving the European Union they will no longer have the European environmental protection laws and policy which means they are forced to form their own which can cause lots of changes. Many people fear that this will be a negative consequence of the Brexit. Are those fears that Brexit will have a negative impact on the environment justified? This is the question this essay is mainly concerned with. In a fast-growing society like ours which is endangered by climate change and other environmental issues it is important to take care of the essential factors that make living like this possible. Every country is in need to amend laws and a strict environmental policy which enables us to live on in our environment for as many more years as possible and to ensure other generations a future. The environmental policy of the European Union is strict but it shows that those countries are the top environmental friendly countries. Now that the United Kingdom is planning on leaving the European Union, it is questionable whether their new environmental policy will be able to stand up to European standards.

Document from the year 2018 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 2,3, Cardiff University, course: English literature, language: English, abstract: "e;Brother Jacob"e; shows an example of the representation of sugar in a small town in Britain itself, whereas "e;The Journal of a West Indian Proprietor"e; rather represents the sugar production and life on the plantations in the colonies. This essay will look at different representations of sugar in the two works and will compare them to each other. There is something about sugarcane, he isn t what he seem--- . At first sight the sweet pleasure of sugar as we know it today and as we use it in our every-day life, might seem nothing but that, an innocent pleasure. But in times of the British colonies, where the history of sugar begins, it was so much more than that. The background of sugar is marked by oppression and violence. George Eliot s "e;Brother Jacob"e; and Matthew Lewis "e;Journal of a West India Proprietor"e; are just two examples of literature which tell us about the representation of sugar and which make it clear that sugar isn t what it might seem. Both books have been released in the 19th century, with one difference though. "e;Brother Jacob"e; was written after the Emancipation Act took place whereas Lewis "e;Journal"e; was written years before. The two stories show different representations of sugar under the light of slavery and colonialism. Since the 17th century sugar plantations in the West Indies were the main source of work and profit. As the West Indies were British colonies, many British businessmen became plantation owners. Their slaves worked under different conditions for their masters, most of them suffering a lot. But when the sugar was imported into Great Britain nothing reminded about the brutal way in which it was produced anymore. "e;On July 28, 1833, the Emancipation Act was passed in England, to take effect on August 1, 1834, but it emancipated only children under six, and apprenticed domestic and non-field workers to their former masters for a period of four year and plantation workers for six years . This was a huge step against slavery. But still the slaves had to stay on the sugar plantations and some of them still worked under bad conditions.

Seminar paper from the year 2017 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Comparative Literature, grade: 2,7, University of Constance, course: British and American Studies, language: English, abstract: This work focuses on the question of identity in the novel "e;Wide Sargasso Sea"e;. Antoinette, the female protagonist of Jean Rhys' novel "e;Wide Sargasso Sea"e;, is struggling with those questions of her identity all her life. As a Creole girl, who lives in Jamaica during post-colonialism, she finds herself caught between two identities not knowing where she belongs. On the one hand, there is the black community which she knows and grows up with, on the other hand the white community which her mother tries to be a part of and forces Antoinette to fit into as well. This life between two contrasting cultures forces Antoinette into a situation of confusion and doubt which makes her question not only where she belongs but if she belongs at all. It drives her into a crisis which she is not able to escape. Jean Rhys published her novel in 1966. "e;Wide Sargasso Sea"e; tells the story of Antoinette Cosway who is also, known under the name of Bertha, a character of Charlotte Bronte's novel "e;Jane Eyre"e;. In "e;Wide Sargasso Sea"e; Rhys is giving Bertha/ Antoinette a story and a reason why she became mad in the first place. The story starts in her childhood and moves on to the marriage to Mr. Rochester. The last part is set when she is already imprisoned by her husband and is setting the house on fire which accords with the story told in "e;Jane Eyre"e;. For the background of the novel it is important to know that Rhys herself grew up in a situation like Antoinette s. She as well had troubles with identifying herself when she grew up. So Rhys shares part of Antoinette s history which is probably why she was that interested in telling her story which is completely uncared-for by Bronte.

Essay from the year 2018 in the subject Literature - Comparative Literature, grade: 2,7, Cardiff University, course: English literature, language: English, abstract: This essay will aim at answering the following questions and it will compare the different representations of African American identity in the three short stories. Is there a difference in the representation of black identity if it is contested by a white writer? The question is if Faulkner's representation of African American identity as a white author is more influenced by stereotypes than Wright's or Baldwin's. Or might some of these stereotypes actually be part of the black identity? For almost two centuries the short story has been part of the American literary tradition. It is one of the most essential literary genres of American culture. But it has been just as important to African American culture. Richard Wright and James Baldwin are two of the most well-known African American short story authors. They represent African American identity and culture in their short stories from the black point of view. William Faulkner, whose story will be analysed in this essay together with the ones of Wright and Baldwin, represents African American identity from a white author s point of view. This essay will look at a variety of ways in which African American identity is contested in three short stories by these three authors. The stories the essay will deal with are Wright s story The Man Who Was Almost a Man, written in 1961, Baldwin s Sonny s Blues from 1957 and William Faulkner s That Evening Sun which was published for the first time in 1931, but also appeared in 1950 which is the version this essay relies on. Black writers have often been "e;neglected or misread because of their race "e;, as Byerman argues, therefore it is interesting to take a look at the ways black identity is represented and contested in those stories.

Essay from the year 2018 in the subject Literature - Comparative Literature, grade: 1,3, Cardiff University, course: German literature, language: English, abstract: "e;He had drunk only one glass of the wine. Emilia Galotti lay open on his desk"e; (Goethe 2004). When Werther commits suicide at the end of Goethe's novel Die Leiden des jungen Werther, Lessing's play Emilia Galotti lies next to him on his desk. The fact that it is opened, lets the reader assume that Werther had read the book, perhaps just moments before his suicide. It makes it seem of importance to Werther and it might have been relevant for his decision to commit suicide. But that is just one assumption which can be made. For the reader, it is interesting to know what Goethe wanted to tell us by including Lessing's work in his novel. It does not seem much of a coincidence that Lessing's work appears at the most important scene of the novel. This leads to the question this essay is concerned with. What is the relevance of Lessing's play for Goethe's novel? Did Lessing's play influence Goethe or is he actually criticizing Lessing by including the play in his novel? And going even further: What is the relevance of the play for the state of mind of Storm and Stress writers/artists in general? There are several possible assumptions to those two questions so some of them will be presented and analysed in this essay although not all of them can be covered.
