W. Winnicott to discuss how ideas about motherhood play into Berryman’s poetic self-fashioning. in song 14, Berryman asserts the poet’s need to banter with the mother and so discover the writing self as paradoxically reactionary and autonomous. By looking at one aspect of confessional poetry, the writer’s fundamental relationship to his mother, this article argues for a rethinking of the seemingly masculine poetics of John Berryman. it discusses the ways in which not only Berryman but robert lowell as well collaborate with their mothers, represent motherhood as transcending gender and biology, and suggest that mothers and ideas about mothers play into poetic self-fashioning. this article contributes to an understanding of confessional writing as self-exploratory, uncertain of its own status, and mediated by analysts, parents, and texts, rather than as titillating self-disclosure.","PeriodicalId":41712,"journal":{"name":"Pacific Coast Philology","volume":"51 1","pages":"22 - 4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/PCP.2016.0009","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66526001","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Leaska, which contains Woolf ’s early journals from 1897 to 1909. The division this has set up between Woolf ’s “early” (pre-1915) and “mature” (1915 and after) diaries, and the separations between diary years in each of the first five volumes published, map well onto Woolf ’s life and professional career, and have inevitably and understandably come to guide readers’ mental conception of Woolf ’s development. The early diaries show Woolf prior to her becoming a published novelist; 1915 marks the year of publication for her first novel, The Voyage Out, and also fittingly marks the year in which Woolf ’s diary entries resume after a mysterious five-year diary blank. Becoming Virginia Woolf, however, questions these facile divisions. Barbara Lounsberry uses her own categorization system: Woolf ’s early diaries from 1897 to mid-1918, where Woolf tested the waters and Reviews","PeriodicalId":41712,"journal":{"name":"Pacific Coast Philology","volume":"51 1","pages":"107 - 110"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/PCP.2016.0005","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66525948","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Admittedly, there are moments of disappointing repetition throughout the book; some portions of chapters read more like annotated inventories of literary works than a cohesive, progressive argument; one wonders about the noticeable absence of an application of Levinasian ethics to this project’s theoretical underpinnings; and the reader is left to consider how Pielak’s argument would play out in less canonical, less male-authored works of Romanticism. But the stunning and elegant readings of, for example, Clare’s “On Seeing a Lost Greyhound in Winter,” Byron’s “Inscription on the Monument of a Newfoundland Dog,” and Wordsworth’s “Fidelity” more than make up for any such quibbles. This book is a welcome addition to research collections focused on animal studies, Romanticism, philosophy of mind, and even posthuman studies. Pielak ultimately presents his readers with a telling fable of how we must continue to engage the animal body as a text against and through which to read ourselves—to return to and remember our humanity.","PeriodicalId":41712,"journal":{"name":"Pacific Coast Philology","volume":"51 1","pages":"129 - 134"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66525959","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

That is, not just assimilating this theme to new forms, but having the forms themselves change” (134). O’Neill’s response is sharp and challenges the very assumptions on which the continuity/ disruption debate rests. He replies, “Look, if you think that 9/11 is an unprecedented chapter in human experience, then yes, maybe you need an unprecedented form to write about it. . . . Let’s put it another way: Let’s say 9/11 had been foiled . . . would we say that the current form of the novel was perfectly satisfactory?” (134). O’Neill points to the most important role this volume plays in 9/11 studies. It unearths little known 9/11 texts and tests them in new ways against ideas of globalism, transnational cultural connections, and the new imperialism of the United States. These new analyses, read against the backdrop of the special relationship between the United States and the UK, serve to show us a major gap in the field but also teach us to question the initial frames within which we rush to understand any major phenomena. In her concluding remarks Miller asks if we have instead of recovering from the horror of the attacks amplified them (12). In her final analysis we see the actual value of this volume. Miller’s contributors, in her words, refuse “to choose between the theories of trauma or spectacle” or “between the plight of the victim and the problem of figuring and understanding responsibility for violence” (12). In a field flooded with books looking at 9/11 through any number of narrow lenses, this one stands out, because it offers what anyone studying a disaster ten years on needs. Miller states it well, “Critical variety is essential for any great understanding of this catastrophic event” (12).","PeriodicalId":41712,"journal":{"name":"Pacific Coast Philology","volume":"51 1","pages":"112 - 116"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/pcp.2016.0010","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66526011","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
