Abstract

Anglo-Saxon literature and culture, and their subsequent appropriations, unite the essays collected here. They offer fresh and exciting perspectives on a variety of issues, from gender to religion and the afterlives of Old English texts, from reconsiderations of neglected works to reflections on the place of Anglo-Saxon in the classroom. As is appropriate, they draw especially on Hugh Magennis' own interests in hagiography and issues of community and reception. Taken together, they provide a 'state of the discipline' account of the present, and future, of Anglo-Saxon studies. The volume also includes contributions from the leading Irish poets Ciaran Carson and Medbh McGuckian. Dr Stuart McWilliams is a Newby Trust Fellow, Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities, University of Edinburgh. Contributors: Ciaran Carson, Mary Clayton, Ivan Herbison, Joyce Hill, Malcolm Godden, Chris Jones, Christina Lee, MedbhMcGuckian, Stuart McWilliams, Juliet Mullins, Elisabeth Okasha, Jane Roberts, Donald Scragg, Mary Swan, John Thompson, Elaine Treharne, Robert Upchurch, Gordon Whatley, Jonathan Wilcox.

Abstract

"In this book, a renowned literary critic explores the various ways we have thought about scholars and scholarship through the ages. Why is it, Nuttall asks, that in the nineteenth century the life of the mind becomes equated with a kind of death in life?" "A. D. Nuttall focuses on three people, two real and one fictitious: the classical scholar Isaac Casaubon, who lived from 1559 to 1614; Mark Pattison, rector of Lincoln College, Oxford, in the nineteenth century; and Mr. Casaubon in George Eliot's Middlemarch. The three are intricately related, for Pattison was seen by many as the model for Eliot's Mr. Casaubon, and he was also the author of what is still the best book on Isaac Casaubon." "Nuttall provides a provocative interpretation of Middlemarch, arguing that it contains an anti-feminist thesis ("This is a young woman with highfalutin ideas who really needs some strong sex from a man to straighten her out.") coexisting with a feminist thesis ("The life of the mind, unsuccessfully essayed by Mr. Casaubon, is tragically withheld from his wife, Dorothea."). He shows that at nearly the same time Middlemarch was being written, Mark Pattison was recording in his Memoirs his own introverted intellectual life and self-lacerating depression. Pattison's book on Isaac Casaubon leads Nuttall back to this earlier figure, a great and fulfilled scholar who personifies the ideal of detailed, unspectacular truthtelling, an ideal often imperiled in our own culture, remarks Nuttall. He ends the book with a meditation on morality, sexuality, and the virtues of scholarship."--Jacket.

Abstract

The Fragile Scholar examines the pre-modern construction of Chinese masculinity from the popular image of the fragile scholar (caizi) in late imperial Chinese fiction and drama. The book is an original contribution to the study of the construction of masculinity in the Chinese context from a comparative perspective (Euro-American).
