This anxiety about the limits of mainstream acceptance and the persistence of anti- Semitism in late twentieth- century America revolves around maintaining civility, a notion already evident in The Merchant's portrayal of Jewish and Christian acts, attitudes, and values.","PeriodicalId":44154,"journal":{"name":"TEXAS STUDIES IN LITERATURE AND LANGUAGE","volume":"65 1","pages":"1 - 29"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46801069","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The paradoxical tensions between the sacred and the profane in Donne's love poems, in particular, provide Beckett with a framework for shaping his own characters' ambivalent attitudes toward erotic and romantic desire in a way that formulates a critique of the conventions of Petrarchan love poetry and of the theme of love in literature in general.","PeriodicalId":44154,"journal":{"name":"TEXAS STUDIES IN LITERATURE AND LANGUAGE","volume":"65 1","pages":"30 - 57"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43606515","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Indeed, their home in Paris was a social epicenter of expatriate modernism. This article reads Stein's experimental literature of 1908 to 1920 to understand the identificatory and relational processes that the affordances of the domestic space make possible. It situates the queer in Stein as a domestic phenomenon, arguing that queer bonding and identity formation happen, for her, most meaningfully in the home.","PeriodicalId":44154,"journal":{"name":"TEXAS STUDIES IN LITERATURE AND LANGUAGE","volume":"64 1","pages":"339 - 366"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47931455","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

But we argue that because Conrad provides so little access to Stevie's mind there is much ambiguity concerning his role that has previously gone unremarked. Stevie may be an unwitting victim, but there are also a number of suggestions that he knows what he is doing when he places the bomb. Stevie, unlike the nominal revolutionaries in the novel, is the one character who actually performs a revolutionary act. In this contrast between possible unwitting victim / possible witting actor and witting nonactor, Conrad considers the question of who is a revolutionary.","PeriodicalId":44154,"journal":{"name":"TEXAS STUDIES IN LITERATURE AND LANGUAGE","volume":"64 1","pages":"437 - 454"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42861549","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
