Analysis of the Narrative Strategies in The Scarlet Letter

Nathaniel Hawthorne was an American psychosocial novelist, also known as the Shakespeare of America, who wrote many classic works during his lifetime. Among them, The Scarlet Letter is one of the representatives of romantic novels, and is also his outstanding masterpiece.

A Legend of Christina Rossetti’s “Song” in China

“Song: When I am Dead, My Dearest”, a poem by the 19th-century British poetess Christina Rossetti, has been translated into more than one Chinese version and cherished by Chinese admirers since the beginning of the 20th century, among which modern poet Xu Zhimo’s translation is most well-known. Xu’s translation was later set to a song by the Taiwanese singer Luo Dayou and was popularly sung, even by the leading actress in TV series. The translations of the “Song” have also been anthologized into textbooks in colleges, middle schools, and primary schools and so have been widely read by Chinese students. The “Song” is now by no means an unfamiliar poem to Chinese literature lovers, music fans, TV audiences, and students; rather, it has created a legend of reception of foreign poems in China.

Dramaturgy: Exploring the Elements of Shakespearean Tragedy with the Perspectives of R. Srinivasa Iyengar

R. Srinivasa Iyengar has presented his views on William Shakespeare’s art of dramaturgy in his noteworthy work; Shakespeare: His World and His Art. It was published in 1964 and was received enthusiastically by lovers of literature. The work has finally been divided by Iyengar into fifteen chapters. The purpose of present study is to discuss Iyengar’s view on Shakespeare’s tragedy in detail. His love for the Shakespeare’s artistic sense was cherished by his mother who was fond of literature specially of Shakespeare. He received a book Tales and Travels by Hugh Laurence as second prize when he was in fourth class (1916-1917). It was signed by the principal, K.C. Viraraghava Iyer and the family has still preserved it. Iyengar loved great literature and so, generally speaking there were no favorites as such in his literary world. But two names were very close to heart: William Shakespeare and Sri Aurobindo. His first encounter with Shakespeare was through reading Charles and Mary Lamb’s Tales from Shakespeare in1922. The impact of this first encounter with Shakespeare lasted through his life time. Such was his phenomenal memory that long after he gave up reading due to loss of vision, just a year prior to his passing away, he could name the character, act and scene from all the plays of Shakespeare when just a single line from any of the plays represented in The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations (1941) was read out to him. He loved teaching Shakespeare’s plays and had acquired an enormous amount of matter on the subject. It was natural that the approaching quarter centenary of the Bard of Avon galvanized him into action.

“Literature Museum Libraries” at the Junction of Cultural Heritage, Literature, Museum and Library Concepts

This study relates to the literature museum libraries, which are exclusive to Turkey as a library model. One of the essential library applications in Turkey in recent years, literature museum libraries are authentic hybrid institutions. Library, museum, library museum house or museum library are not adequate concepts to define them. The literature museum library is a new library concept after synthesising these concepts. Since having been founded in 2011 by the Libraries and Publications Department of the Turkish Ministry of Culture and Tourism, literature museum libraries are designed as to offer services to writers, critics, publishers, translators and literary NGOs in particular and the whole public in general; in a fashion to provide a new concept to the society with different content and meaning than traditional libraries and museum librarianship. Literature museum libraries are cultural places where works of local writers and poets, who communed with the region after being born or living for long years there, are exhibited alongside the objects of the writers and the works written about these writers and poets, in addition to books and manuscripts that are suitable for museum librarianship. Students, researchers, and literature lovers are chosen as the fundamental user group, and the presentations and services are designed according to this group. In their collections, there are art and literature works, which are contemporary and aesthetic, as well. Reflecting their cities’ written and oral literary culture and cultural heritage where there are educational, cultural, and artistic events in this regard, literature museum libraries are spaces flourishing the city’s literary and aesthetic culture. Literature museum libraries perform various missions in regard to preserving, sustaining, exhibiting the cultural heritage and bringing it into the public’s service. This study probes library, museum, literary museum home and museum library concepts first before evaluating the literary museum in Turkey in general. The study also includes various examples from the services and events of the seven literature museum libraries in Turkey.

Introduction Fiction and truth, learning and literature: Interdisciplinary perspectives

Literature and fiction, in various forms, both textual and oral, have an undeniable place in human growth and education: they are a constitutive part of our reality. This raises the question: how and what do we learn from fiction? Even when fiction does not mirror reality directly, can it still, explore, express, and teach us about the world? If so, how? In this special issue education becomes something of a link between the fictional and the real. Approaching fiction to learn from it, or learn with it, enables us to examine our experiences and to transform them in our everyday lives. The special issue, if perhaps for the most part indirectly, testifies to the various ways love of literature often expresses love of truth. Not because all the articles describe or use the notions of “truth,” “fiction,” “literature,” and “learning” in the same way, but because they offer an extension of these concepts.

1930년대 부산·경남 시 동인지와 로컬리티 - 『소제부 제일시집』 과 『생리』를 중심으로 -

Literary coterie magazines, such as 『Chamsae』, 『Toseong(土聲)』, 『Sojebu (掃除夫)』 and 『Saengli(生理)』, were published in Busan and Gyeongsangnam-do from 1920s to 1930s. Their members were young lovers of literature who resided in the area of Busan or Gyeongnam and tried to create literary discourse and a local field for literature in those places. They were sharing humanistic locality of those days. In other words, they were sharing the temporality and placeness of Busan and Gyeongnam in 1920s and 1930s during the Japanese colonial era, and their experiences, understanding and discourse.<BR> Among them, 『Sojebu(掃除夫)』 and 『Saengli(生理)』 were the literary coterie magazines published mainly by Yu Chi-hwan in 1930s. Its members were interacting through a Tongyeong youth club, 『Toseong(土聲)』, Busan student anti-Japanese movement and so on. The indirect resistance expressed through the early poems of Yu Chi-hwan and Jang Eung-du was not irrelevant to their exchange. In this thesis, the understanding of the reality in the literary works and the social activities of the members of 『Sojebu(掃除夫)』 and 『Saengli(生理)』 were analyzed together, and the locality and the meanings of the literary coterie magazines in Busan and Gyeongnam in 1930s were examined.

Jack but Not John Barth

Jack but Not John Barth R. L. Friedman (bio) I’ve never met John Barth. Jack Barth I know, but John Barth remains a stranger. In 1976, two of my high school English teachers invited me to join them at Emory University for a reading by famed novelist, John Barth. My love of literature was fiery at age 17, which inspired their thoughtful invitation. Barth was a renowned author and even a cult figure, winner of the National Book Award in 1973 for Chimera. One of the teachers suggested I read that work before the Emory event. I tried. I tried again. But the allusions to Dunyazad, Perseus, and Bellerophon were so far beyond my base of knowledge, I was intimidated long before we stepped out of the car on the Emory campus. The auditorium was standing room only. Barth was famous at a time, I suspect, when students cared to tackle complex literary works and try to out-read one another (a phenomenon rendered with wry observance in a passage from The Floating Opera). For literate college students, knowing the intricacies of The Sot-Weed Factor or Giles Goat-Boy was essential. Gaps in one’s ultra-literacy mattered. Before the program began, students chatted fervidly about Barth’s works: the allusions behind New Tammany College, the picaresque bawdiness of Ebenezer Cooke’s adventures, and Ambrose, the sperm who narrates his passage towards the creation of a life. Several commented that Barth helmed the Writing Seminars department at his alma mater, Johns Hopkins. When he was introduced and began reading excerpts from Chimera, I marveled at his attributes: ultra-tall and beyond slender, his bald pate seemed to house a supercomputer. His tone was playful, less like an academic and more akin to a jazz artist riffing on exciting themes. The erudite wordplay enthralled the audience but zoomed so far over my head it cracked the ceiling—all of which inspired me to jump into the author’s works, absorbing them in chronological order. And since the first novel, The Floating Opera, concerned the adventures and existential musings of a Johns Hopkins alumnus, this tidbit added to a growing roster of feedback pointing me towards Baltimore. I figured it out: I would attend Johns Hopkins as an English or Writing Seminars major, and study under John Barth himself. I enrolled at Hopkins. [End Page 169] Then came my first Writing Seminars class. I don’t recall my submission or why the grad student teacher held it in such low regard, but the force of her criticism wounded me far out of proportion to her intents. Hypersensitive, I couldn’t take it. Never again did I take a Writing Sems class outside of playwriting (which was taught by a delightful chemistry professor with a love of theater and no expectations for artistry). Barth was quite a presence on campus. Whenever he strolled by, students whispered in awe. Whenever he held readings, the venues rocked with undergraduates, grad students, teachers, and the wider community. One of my favorite college memories occurred when the novelist and essayist John Gardner came to Hopkins to read from his works. The packed audience in Shriver Hall had come to witness an intellectual scrum. Supporters of Gardner adhered to his belief in literature as a necessary moral force. Supporters of Barth decried any boundaries imposed on literary efforts, preferring the self-referential play of metafiction—of stories acknowledging themselves as fictional forms. What I didn’t know was, regardless of their differences, Barth and Gardner were friends with mutual respect for the other’s output. Gardner read from his work, then opened the floor for questions. And who should raise his hand first but Barth, who challenged Gardner’s conceptions. Gardner smiled, knowing he was behind enemy lines, and quietly outlined his disregard for metafiction. Barth queried further. Gardner reiterated his views, citing examples of what he deemed moral literature versus experimental works. The audience understood that the answer to this dispute lay in their own hands: read what grabs, moves, and entertains you. Which made the give and take between these two giants seem like its own metafiction: we were observers but also participants. I...
