The seventh sonnet of the second series of The Sonnets to Orpheus performs an allegory of this gentle dying that a good life is—cut flowers laid out on a garden table are tended by girls' hands. The allegory extends to the poet's writing, which is a version of the girl's ministrations, just as the form of the sonnet is a rendition of the gentle arrangement of the flowers on the table. Flowers and humans, Rilke claims, have a special kinship in their brevity, their vulnerability, their need for gentleness. Perhaps writing or reading a poem, such are the implications, can be an exercise in gentleness, for poems, too, are brief and vulnerable.","PeriodicalId":44453,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF MODERN LITERATURE","volume":"45 1","pages":"77 - 92"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47180107","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}

Countering widespread critical and theoretical tendencies to overlook women’s contributions to gift discourse and to essentialize generosity as an inherently “ feminine” gift, Colesworthy places literary studies and sociology in productive dialogue that achieves an effective balance between historicization and theoretical rigor. Throughout the book’s five chapters, she examines a diversity of texts, including novels, memoirs, and sociological treatises, with a particular focus on Marcel Mauss’s The Gift: The Form and Reason for Exchange in Archaic Societies, Virginia Woolf’s Mrs. Dalloway, Jean Rhys’s After Leaving Mr. Mackenzie, Gertrude Stein’s Ida A Novel, and H.D.’s The Gift.","PeriodicalId":44453,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF MODERN LITERATURE","volume":"45 1","pages":"180 - 183"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46404352","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}

Eliot was captivated by marine life forms, particularly creatures that cling. From the “ragged claws” of ancient crustaceans to the firm foothold of the “delicate algae and the sea anemone,” Eliot’s writing is full of creatures whose instinct is to “ hold on tight” while the sea tosses them about. Eliot’s marine imagery is bound up with his thinking about the enabling possibilities of attachment—an idea that runs counter to his longstanding critical reputation as a poet of detachment. From his early reading of biological texts to his late critical writing, Eliot’s work demonstrates a recurrent interest in attachment that serves to complicate and enrich our understanding of his aesthetics.","PeriodicalId":44453,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF MODERN LITERATURE","volume":"45 1","pages":"21 - 38"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41749130","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}

In order to suggest the dynamic lives that poems lead as aesthetic object-events, each chapter of Lyric in Its Times offers close readings that combine the analysis of poetic rhythm with attention to poems’ material rhetoric of stone, rock, and glass. Readings center on poets of the New York School and St. Ives, Cornwall but reach back to the Renaissance and often discuss poetry alongside visual art. Wilkinson sketches lyric poetry’s aesthetic forcefulness across time and elucidates how objects like stone contribute to aesthetic effects.","PeriodicalId":44453,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF MODERN LITERATURE","volume":"45 1","pages":"189 - 193"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47313953","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}

A Twilight Story” (1909) stumbles upon a portal into a three-dimensional photographic world—the uncanny “ bygone spaces” that cause him to veer between “ fear” and nostalgic “rapture.” These emotions are contradictory but also inseparable, which becomes clear when the narrator’s experiences are read through the lens of Walter Benjamin’s concept of aura. The story as a whole prefigures Benjamin’s “definition of the aura as the aura of distance opened up with the look that awakens in an object perceived”: the photograph in “Stereoscope” is endowed with a gaze, at once threatening and beguiling, that saps the protagonist’s agency. Because Ivanov’s text seeks to enact the protagonist’s adventures for the reader, the“Twilight Story” not only testifies to the enduring power of the photographic image, but also showcases the auratic possibilities of language.","PeriodicalId":44453,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF MODERN LITERATURE","volume":"45 1","pages":"53 - 71"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41857022","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}

Like the table, the table-cloth had profound significance for Woolf, who used it to engage in early twentieth-century debates regarding the nature of reality, perception, and representation. In To the Lighthouse and beyond, the table-cloth elucidates Woolf’s philosophical position—her awareness of dramatic shifts in the epistemology of science, her references to the philosophy of mathematics, and her faithful commitment to a fabricated reality. Ultimately, the Ramsays’ table-cloth is an essential part of Woolf’s project to “reach what [she] might call a philosophy” that was built primarily on her own terms and no one else’s.","PeriodicalId":44453,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF MODERN LITERATURE","volume":"45 1","pages":"39 - 52"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43104380","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 distortion of statist control, argues Snaza, requires the redirection of attention to include situations of literacy that are more affective than conceptual or symbolic. Animate Literacies is a work of refusal whose broad theorizing and engagement with classic works generates a politics of collective energies not to be foreclosed by anthropocentric logics and mandates. The argumentative nuances of more-than-human collisions, of erotics, and of pleasures demonstrate Snaza’s imaginings of how to renegotiate, bewilder, and animate understandings of literature and living.","PeriodicalId":44453,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF MODERN LITERATURE","volume":"45 1","pages":"173 - 179"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47257716","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 short story “Octet” can be seen to pose a question about its own value, or status as art, in a similar way to avant-garde provocations such as Piero Manzoni’s Artist’s Shit. Stanley Cavell analyzes the experience of uncertainty that modernist art causes for its audience; in the absence of agreed criteria, there is no obvious way to know what “counts” as art. The absence of criteria also causes a crisis for sincerity—we have no way of knowing if an artist means their artwork. For Wallace, questions about the sincerity of his work are woven into questions about whether it “counts,” since he seems to have taken seriously Tolstoy’s claim that only sincere works of art should count as art.","PeriodicalId":44453,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF MODERN LITERATURE","volume":"45 1","pages":"72 - 89"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48888875","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}
