Sexuality in Steinbeck's The Chrysanthemums Reading over this excellent story once more, I am again filled with the same emotion (if it can be called that) that I experienced when first reading it.

So concerned about these details, he sent scouts to theatres to check these conditions had been met. I recall seeing a letter regarding Kubrick’s drama ‘Barry Lyndon’ sent to the projectionist discussing similar conditions. So before we reach the first section of the film and as the lights go down in the theatre, Kubrick begins to prepare the audience. In the now
Michèle Roberts’s The Looking Glass The understanding of history as a linear and unproblematic narrative, dominated by kings and queens, warriors and heroes, has long been denied by women writers. As Linda Anderson argues, these events ‘take on a different meaning, a different configuration when we begin to see through them – in both senses – to women’s concealed existence in the private sphere of family and home’ (Anderson, p.130).

In 1801 the Irish Constitution was annulled in

According to Hutcheon, a healthy piece of postmodern fiction “paradoxically uses and abuses the conventions of both realism and modernism, and does so in order to challenge their transparency” (53). Similarly, the contradictory nature of “[postmodernist] discourses – both theoretical and practical – need the very myths and conventions they contest” (48). Taken completely out of context, Hutcheon

Nyasha is so worried about forgetting because it’s not there for her to remember.
