{"title":"Spinning Gold: Nuggets, Narratives, and Raw Materials in the Victorian Gold Rush","authors":"A. Buckland","doi":"10.1086/724555","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1086/724555","url":null,"abstract":"In this essay I take up Jane Bennett’s invitation to “think slowly” the idea of matter as “passive,” “inert,” and “raw” by focusing on a specific—and overlooked—material category: the “raw material.” Taking as a case study the gold mined in Victoria, Australia, in the 1850s and beyond, I argue that the “raw material” is not an inevitable “fact” of nature, simply awaiting its inevitable transformation into capital. Instead, it is a narrative construction deliberately designed to suppress or erase (often violently) the sheer range of alternative meanings the same matter might hold. Gold is an especially useful material for exploring this idea, since it is a key example of Marx’s “primitive accumulation,” a resource extracted explicitly in order to construct a new settler colony. It is also a material with a long history of fabulation and fantasy. Reading Charles Reade’s settler-colonial novel It Is Never Too Late to Mend (1856) alongside the Indigenous writer Kim Scott’s Benang: From the Heart (1999), I argue that the novel is a particularly adept form for registering the multiple, rich alternative stories we might tell (or that have long been told) about “raw materials” and their dissonant, recalcitrant meanings.","PeriodicalId":45201,"journal":{"name":"MODERN PHILOLOGY","volume":"120 1","pages":"474 - 496"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47234935","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The contributors, that is, have become collaborators in a shared argument, so that the volume models the social and textual work of women’s friendship that it explores. As Lochrie and Vishnuvajjala make clear in their introduction, there is quite a scholarly history of engaging with friendship.1 But these engagements have focused primarily on friendships among men and on a public, Ciceronian definition of amicitia. Consequently, the editors and contributors to this volume argue, women’s friendships—even when not deemed theoretically impossible—have been recognized mostly as exceptions that prove the rule of an inherent masculinity. What happens, then, when gender is taken into consideration? In what different textual encounters might friendship among women become visible? And if masculine friendship is ideologically aligned with masculine virtue, essential likeness, and public politics, where—in what forms and practices—might women’s friendships reside?The collection’s conversation plays out in three movements. The first, “Varieties of Spiritual Friendship,” roots the discussion in what may be the most visible examples of friendship, those in monastic communities and witnessed by texts associated especially with visionary spirituality. Jennifer N. Brown’s “Female Friendships and Visionary Women” starts by reconsidering three cloistered women whose vitae and correspondence (as well as visions) are relatively well known—the twelfth-century Hildegard of Bingen, the fourteenth-century Catherine of Siena, and the women commemorated in late medieval schwesternbücher—and how textual evidence of their lives and careers both echoes and varies from male models of spiritual friendship as theorized by Aelred of Rievaulx, stressing the women’s participation in supportive communities of teachers, students, scribes, and monastic sisters. Brown then uses her analysis to shed light on records concerning the lesser-known post-Reformation English Sister Marie. In the following chapter (“The Foundations of Friendship: Amicitia, Literary Production, and Spiritual Community in Marie de France”), Stella Wang similarly thematizes the “vibrant networks” (37) through which women supported each other, looking for their presence in Marie’s descriptions of the historical Ely of La Vie Seint Audree and the fictional abbeys of Le Fresn","PeriodicalId":45201,"journal":{"name":"MODERN PHILOLOGY","volume":"102 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135801773","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Foregrounding fascination with the mercurial and protean energies of architectural conversion, rather than charting more familiar processes of ruination, nostalgia, and loss, the article emphasizes the religious polyvalency of Barabas’s converted house and connects its thresholds to the performance of conversion in different contexts. The Jew of Malta, I argue, makes imaginative use of the complex dilemmas posed by converted structures, making visible the uncomfortable and inconvenient instabilities that they manifest.","PeriodicalId":45201,"journal":{"name":"MODERN PHILOLOGY","volume":"120 1","pages":"419 - 443"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42092531","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"New Light on the “Lunacy” of Sir George Buc","authors":"J. Doelman","doi":"10.1086/724366","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1086/724366","url":null,"abstract":"This essay presents new information from a manuscript newsletter of John Castle about the final year of Sir George Buc (1560–1622), historian of Richard III and Master of the Revels: his oft-noted “madness” was manifest as manuscript-based investigation of rabbinic sources that led to his denial of Jesus as Messiah. Such was the gravest form of apostasy in early Stuart England, and if legally pursued would likely have led to Buc’s execution. The official verdict of “lunacy” thus spared Buc’s life and conveniently spared the court the embarrassment of such a figure at its heart. Such a judgment was consistent with broader tendencies to treat various strains of heterodoxy as “madness.” The essay also considers this reported conversion in the context of more general interest in Hebraic sources in the 1610s and 1620s (and the attendant fears of “Judaizing”). The account of Buc’s situation is credible, in light of the general reliability of its source (Castle was a deputy clerk of the Privy Seal) and Buc’s well-known tendency to contrarian scholarly positions, as most famously evident in his history of King Richard III.","PeriodicalId":45201,"journal":{"name":"MODERN PHILOLOGY","volume":"120 1","pages":"548 - 562"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42180415","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Apostrophe as Play in Seventeenth-Century Lyric","authors":"G. Pertile","doi":"10.1086/724563","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1086/724563","url":null,"abstract":"This article offers a renewed consideration of the figure of apostrophe in seventeenth-century literature by focusing on a genre in which it is especially prominent: lyric poetry on the Creation. Drawing on Jonathan Culler’s account of apostrophe’s “effects of presence,” it shows that Renaissance poets apostrophize the created world not merely to praise it as something outside and before them, but also to channel the power that created that world into the rhetorical present of the poem. In readings of Italian, French, and English poems, the article argues that poetry’s own linguistic vitality, conferred by the “event” of apostrophe, becomes in these texts a proxy for the event of Creation itself, in which God’s word breathes life into matter—Creation understood, however, not as harmony or fixed order but as a power of free play. At the same time, the article is attentive to the ways in which the powers of apostrophe shift in different cultural contexts. In English poetry in particular, the overt exuberance of apostrophe’s “effects of presence” as seen in continental poetry turns inward, reflecting the creative power of a mind cut off from external Creation rather than recapitulating it. But the article shows that despite these differences, apostrophe’s function as a fundamental medium of rhetorical power—and as a means of negotiating the divide between human and divine forms of Creation—is a constant across lyric written in several languages at a time when national literary traditions are often thought to be diverging.","PeriodicalId":45201,"journal":{"name":"MODERN PHILOLOGY","volume":"120 1","pages":"444 - 473"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42435569","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
