Jonathan Senchyne deposited Print Culture in the group
LLC 19th-Century American on MLA Commons 8 years, 9 months agoThoreau’s relation to print culture was complicated and at times contradictory, but from his writing life to his family business, he was shaped by it. Scholars note that he was both successful and a failure as a professional author. He published books and articles made possible by technological changes in papermaking and printing to his west on t…[Read more]

John Edward Streamas replied to the topic post 9/11 american poetry in the discussion
Twentieth-Century American Literature on MLA Commons 8 years, 9 months agoI would love to see your proposal. My email address is <streamas@wsu.edu>, and you may just send it that way if you’d prefer. We’ve avoided the word “confessional,” and I think that’s wise. I don’t think Gluck is a conventionally confessional poet, yet she’s less “historical” and public than, say, the Lowell of the 1960s. Because several new books…[Read more]

Twentieth-Century American Literature on MLA Commons 8 years, 9 months agoI did not respond to your answer quickly because I thought you were busy with the study of An Eye For An Eye. You are, definitely, right in assuming that the subject position of the speaker in October makes him/her incapable of making any political comments. But it also enables him/her to contemplate on post-traumatic self and human life in its…[Read more]

Twentieth-Century American Literature on MLA Commons 8 years, 9 months agoI haven’t read everything in the anthology yet, but am curious about October. Gluck seems to be one of those “nature” poets who really isn’t writing about flora and fauna but about the self, but that makes political comment feel distant, uncommitted. She’s saying, not “I am deeply wounded by the deaths of those refugees” but “I am deeply wounded…[Read more]

LLC 19th-Century American on MLA Commons 8 years, 9 months agoThis paper examines textiles as an indicator of social class in the sentimental novels of the American long 1850s. Publications such as Godey’s Lady’s Book (1830) and Lady’s World of Fashion (1842) are credited with creating the ties between social status and textile quality. Yet, domestic novels of the long 1850s such as The Discarded Daugh…[Read more]

Twentieth-Century American Literature on MLA Commons 8 years, 9 months agoThank you for making me familiar with A Tale for the Time Being. You made a significant point about lived time and narrated time both of which post 9/11 poetry entails. A poem like “Messages from the Sky: September 11, 2001” by Fred Moramarco, which captures a number of messages from the 9/11 victims in direct speeches, is a brilliant example of…[Read more]
