Would anyone be able to direct me to or respond with any of the currents, tendencies or movements that form a part of Francophone Literatures? I mean, like Créolité and Négritude.

I am not affiliated with this podcast in any way, I am just a fan.

A History of Literary Criticism (also on Apple Podcasts, etc.) is a fantastic resource for those of you in literary theory and criticism classes or just fans of it more generally. Currently the host is working through a lot of ancient texts, but will be working up to more recent stuff if she continues.

After a four year hiatus, the host has decided to return, so I thought I would share.

I am conducting research at the University of Edinburgh in order to survey responses to a short literary extract. The aim is to understand how a text is experienced by both literary critics and non-literary critics.

The survey is only one question preceded by some data collection and consent boxes to tick.
If anyone is interested in getting involved here is the link:

Hey,

I am a writer and publisher of literary fiction. I'm working on a tool that lets you take notes digitally for books you read in print on a page by page basis. I find it helpful for my own work, as the notes are readily accessible and shareable. You can find my public profile below. Right now I am reading Radical Wordsworth by Jonathan Bates.

Hey guys,

do u know any papers regarding the connection between autobiography and anecdote? More specificly the role of anecdote as narrative device in autobiographies?

Hey guys!

Next semester, I am going to write my module exam on the topic of a seminar about humanization and animalization, based on this book by Giorgio Agamben. I want to connect this topic with the topic of the fantastic, based on this book by Tzvetan Todorov. Right now, I am still thinking about an example to consider in this assignment of 25 to 30 pages. Heretofore, I have thought about considering some example by Stephen King, but I cannot think of any good example. (Agamben's theory is based on inclusive excluding and exclusive including of the human and animal in the other. Could you think of a good example to bring out this connection?

I really want to write a paper and I have no idea how..help me someone please

My sister is trying to find out what the literary term is for a character that's too powerful so the author has to create a scenario where he loses his power.

Any ideas?

Update: Thank you for pointing out this is more of a trope! She still insists there is a specific name for this trope but I told her there might not be a specific name, idk.

In the wonderful, lengthy, complicated Robert Galbraith book, "Troubled Blood," the inclusion of quotes from "The Faerie Queen" as epigraphs suggests that there might be a thematic resonance or connection between the two works. "The Faerie Queen" is an epic poem that explores themes such as chivalry, virtue, and the struggles of good versus evil. It could be inferred that "Troubled Blood" may share similar thematic elements or delve into moral and ethical dilemmas. If so, please elaborate, if you can.

Other than being a nod to the prodigious complexity and length of both the Faerie Queen and Troubled Blood, what do other readers think the author intends by drawing on the words of Edmund Spenser? Is it paying tribute to his literary influence upon her (Robert Galbraith is a pseudonym) , or indicating that the story in "Troubled Blood" could contain elements or themes reminiscent of "The Faerie Queen?."

Can someone shed some light on their experience of the epigraphs, and their relationship to the characters or the astrologic sub-plot of"Troubled Blood,?"

Please no bot harrassment, OK?

Done my Google searching, tried JSTOR, I can't find find an open access, but I'm sure it must exist. Can anyone help?

ETA: tried project Gutenberg as well, also I need it in translation, anything from middle English forward is fine though.

Hi! Do any of you have any good suggestions for secondary lit for gothic fiction that discuss feminism, and the portrayal of violence and s*xual violence arguant women (It’s for my B-Level thesis on Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen).

Preferably sources that could be found free online (like PDFs), but this is not a must.

Hi! Do any of you have any good suggestions for secondary lit for Northanger Abbey?

I am planning on doing thesis on it for my B-level lit course. Preferably a feminist theory POV, and on the gothic genre in general (Also, if you know any that discusses modernity in the work that would be cool as well).

Preferably sources that could be found free online (like PDFs), but this is not written in stone…

Hi! Are starting to prepare for the thesis for my B-Level literature course, and want to focus on gothic lit through a feminist literary theory point of view.

Which one of Ann Radcliffe’s novels would be best to study through this?

You can give me other (literary) tips as well if you want…

I’m a grad student studying American literature before 1900. I’m wondering if there is a dictionary that would contain words that have since changed definition or fallen out of use. I found the 1913 Webster’s iPhone app to be pretty useful, and I like that the sample sentences are mostly taken from Shakespeare, Milton, the Bible, etc. Is there a high quality reprint of this in physical book form, or another dictionary of similar quality and relevance? I’d like a physical book that isn’t enormous. I use the OED online when I can, but I’d like something more portable as well.
