![]() ![]() The second section looks at the special attention Wordsworth pays to the visual and material nature of print media in light of a new form of technology, namely the lithograph. Central to this section is the role that the awareness of media plays in the type of poetry Wordsworth envisions. The first explores the extent to which Wordsworth emphasizes the materiality of language in the age of print. ![]() This paper is divided into three sections. The prevalence of such self-reflexive elements in the Lyrical Ballads ultimately suggests that this focus on medium and materiality is central to the project of Romanticism as conceived by Wordsworth. ![]() This new focus on the materiality of language urges Wordsworth to pay special attention to the visual and material nature of print media, as evidenced by the “Preface” and his personal letters. 1 It is this corporeality, this materiality of the printed and written word, that drives Wordsworth to pay special attention to the material tools of writing through the addition of new titles like “Lines written with a Slate-Pencil upon a Stone” and “Lines written on a Tablet in a School” to the second edition. In the Endnotes to the Lyrical Ballads, Wordsworth mentions the existence of words “not as symbols…but as things,” emphasizing the material existence of the poet’s language through his use of italics (“Endnotes” 200). ![]() In this paper, I argue that, beginning with the second edition of Lyrical Ballads, Wordsworth puts forth a conception of language as being materially affected by its medium. ![]()

Could our beliefs be causing us to make girls smaller, slower, and less powerful? but absent from most discussions is the possibility that a social construct like, I don’t know, maybe patriarchy is playing a role. We’ve all heard the immutable biological factors - skeletal structure, testosterone, lung capacity, etc. This got me thinking about the carved-in-stone “reality” that the vast majority of men are supposedly bigger, faster, and stronger than the vast majority of women. They not only took on the 19,974-foot high Huayna Potosi Mountain in Bolivia but did so while dressed like, um… well, women (read: traditional Aymara clothing). Recently, a group of Aymara women amazed the world by doing something unexpected. ![]() ![]() ![]() There is an immediate air of mystery and an impending sense of doom that made me excited to keep reading.

Thank you to Michael Joseph for the invitation to take part and the gifted ARC. Today is my stop on the blog tour for this sensational debut. ![]() ![]() The novel centers on Nicholas Urfe, a callow Oxford graduate who falls in love with and then leaves an Australian woman named Alison Kelly. Though The Magus is largely forgotten now, in the mid-twentieth century it was a best-seller beloved by the intelligentsia as a thumping (if very long) good read, and a postmodern puzzle box. Fowles wants to destroy master narratives, but he’s too fascinated with mastery to do it. The novel is a tour de force of iconoclasm, the very excessive omnipotence of which reminds the reader that the Puritans who smashed stained glass windows were at least as reverent as their targets. ![]() ![]() ![]() It’s no real surprise, then, that when John Fowles’ 1965 novel The Magus puts a stake through its all-knowing father, He just comes back as an equally wise-ass zombie. Killing God is easy it’s keeping him in the grave that’s the hard part. ![]() ![]() ![]() Laughing at the gossip instead of getting upset by it. Having people not like you is a risk you have to take to be real, and I'll take that over being fake any day. That I don't always get along with everyone. Falling in love with the idea of a person, instead of the actual person. Some things are best left to the experts, and hair dye is one of them. At-home highlights and DIY hair extensions. So many moms and teenage daughters don't get along-we just have to realize it's nothing personal on either side. ![]() ![]() All those times I scrawled "I HATE MY MOM" in my journal. After her rise and fall from early childhood stardom, barely eking her way through high school, a brief stint as a Hooters waitress, going through thick and thin with her mom/manager, and resurrecting her acting career as Santana Lopez on Glee, Naya emerged from these experiences with some key life lessons: Whether it's with love and dating, career and ambition, friends, or gossip, Naya inspires us to follow our own destiny and step over-or plod through-all the crap along the way.

In a letter from 1946, Orwell wrote, "I dare say it's unfair in some ways and inaccurate in some details, but much of it is simply reporting what I have seen". Nonetheless, Orwell's harsh portrayal of colonial society was felt by "some old Burma hands" to have "rather let the side down". A British edition, with altered names, appeared a year later. īurmese Days was first published "further afield," in the United States, because of concerns that it might be potentially libelous that the real provincial town of Katha had been described too realistically and that some of its fictional characters were based too closely on identifiable people. Set in British Burma during the waning days of empire, when Burma was ruled from Delhi as part of British India, the novel serves as "a portrait of the dark side of the British Raj." At the centre of the novel is John Flory, "the lone and lacking individual trapped within a bigger system that is undermining the better side of human nature." The novel describes "both indigenous corruption and imperial bigotry" in a society where, "after all, natives were natives-interesting, no doubt, but finally.an inferior people". Burmese Days is the first novel by English writer George Orwell, published in 1934. ![]() ![]() ![]() Use the educator resources below to teach about the importance of conservation and how today’s students-and tomorrow's leaders-can make an impact. Although Jane stopped doing fieldwork in 1986, she is still hard at work today, traveling approximately 300 days a year, raising awareness and money to protect the chimpanzees and their habitat through her nonprofit organization, the Jane Goodall Institute (JGI), and JGI’s youth program, Roots & Shoots. For the first time ever unabridged and read by the author, this audiobook is a testimony of true humanity-filled with adventure, life lessons and hope for our world. ![]() She’s also inspired leaders in business, politics and culture to change their. These insights altered the way we understood our place in the natural order and Jane’s work opened doors for other women in science. Jane Goodall is an expert on alpha males for decades, she’s been studying them in chimpanzee communities. ![]() During her time there, she made several observations about chimpanzee behavior that challenged conventional scientific theories held at the time, including chimpanzees are omnivores, not herbivores chimpanzees make and use tools and chimpanzees have complex social interactions. In the 1960s, with no formal academic training, Jane Goodall ventured into the forests of what is now Gombe Stream National Park in Tanzania, to observe chimpanzees in the wild.

"Does your mother know what you do in libraries?" I countered. He leaned forward, bringing his face close to mine. I mean, sure, he was like super popular and great at football, but I hadn't realized just how far his charm extended until I followed him deep into the bookshelves. "No one calls you that." And now I know why, I silently added. "My schedule says Roman." He pointed at the paper I was given. "Hey, Rimmel." He started, speaking my name like he'd said it a hundred times before. But only because it got me one step closer to my bag. "I guess I didn't." He agreed and pulled out the chair beside him for me to sit in. So much for thinking I was impervious to his charm. "You didn't even ask for my name," I blurted out. “Maybe we could try this again?" he asked, turning on the charm. ![]() |
