Conrad expresses the theme of both Nostromo and A Flag for Sunrise: “The scrupulous and the just, the noble, humane, and devoted natures; the unselfish and the intelligent may begin a movement—but it passes away from them. They are not the leaders of a revolution. They are its victims: the victims of disgust, of disenchantment—often of remorse. Hopes grotesquely betrayed, ideals caricatured—that is the definition of revolutionary success.”

Melville’s linguistic style is well known for its ungrammatical, or solecistic, sentences, which have long been attributed to his lack of education or inadvertent oversights. Against this conventional view, John Bryant (2001) and Michael S. Kearns (1983) regard grammatical errors in Melville’s full-length novels as rhetorical devices, which urges a broader reconsideration of solecisms in Melville’s short pieces. The metrical aspect of his short story “The Piazza” suggests the author’s acute awareness of rhetorical usage in the story’s construction, and so if solecism is to be regarded as a consciously rhetorical feature of Melville’s style, then his deployment of the device in the story may be taken as evidence of its broader use in his short pieces as well as novels. This article focuses on solecisms in Melville’s “The Piazza,” and argues that their usage is intentional and rhetorical.

abstract :I present a new reading of Toni Morrison's Home by viewing this novel through a cognitive lens. Drawing on findings in cognitive science and developmental psychology, I argue that Cee's "theory of mind" (aka "mind-reading" capacity) going awry is behind her tragic fate of being abandoned and suffering from physical and mental trauma. I also argue that her mind-reading proficiency improves thanks to the education from the community women by means of incorporating her into their intermental unit (to use the term introduced by Alan Palmer), thus forming a social mind. This essay aims to offer new interpretations of one of Toni Morrison's later novels, on the one hand, and to prove the explanatory power of cognitive approaches to literature, on the other hand.

abstract:Divided into two parts, this article argues that Jacqueline Trotter's neglected anthology, Valour and Vision (1920, 1923), contains much of interest and significance. Assembled just after the 1918 Armistice, the eventual British canon of Great War poets had not yet emerged. Anthologies have been particularly influential for understanding the War from British perspectives, yet little attention has been given to how editors went to work. Letters in the Hugh Walpole Collection at the King's School, Canterbury, preserve letters to Trotter from the poets or their representatives. These throw new light on the canon and anthology formation. The article analyses and discusses the material in this archive for the first time. Divided into six sections, biographical details of Jacqueline Trotter are followed by sections on what the letters reveal about the chronological arrangement and choice of poems; the charitable aim and issues of copyright; setting poems in context; and contributors' own views on war poetry.

abstract:This review article assesses three recent books by Jonathan Bate: Radical Wordsworth; The Poet Who Changed the World; How the Classics Made Shakespeare; and Shakespeare and Ovid. Bate is a poet-minded biographer and a biographer of poets. His work is considered from the perspective of a practicing poet engaged with Shakespeare and Wordsworth and what I consider Bate's pioneering quest for roots. Bate examines "the source of Ovid's intense appeal, to the ancients and to Shakespeare." Individual poems and plays discussed include those by Ovid, Shakespeare, and Wordsworth. Shakespeare's early Venus and Adonus and The Rape of Lucrece reflect Shakespeare "emerging …as the untiring psychopathologist of desire."

Ethical literary criticism, a highly original and self-contained critical approach proposed by Nie Zhenzhao, has witnessed a robust development in both China and parts of the world ever since its debut in 2004. Many Chinese and foreign scholars of considerable stature have gravitated toward this vigorous theory and produced a multitude of academic outcomes. These efforts have culminated in the publication of five works, namely A Study on the Theory of Ethical Literary Criticism, Ethical Literary Criticism of American Literature, Ethical Literary Criticism of English Literature, Ethical Literary Criticism of Japanese Literature, and Ethical Literary Criticism of Chinese Literature, drawing a fruitful conclusion to the major project of “Ethical Literary Criticism: Theoretical Construction and Critical Practice Studies” sponsored by the Chinese National Social Science Foundation. The five-volume canon serves as a milestone, marking the greatest development and perfection of ethical literary criticism that is of both Oriental and Occidental characteristics.
