The dangers of biographical criticism
2008-03-04 17:25:00 The Little Professor enters into a back-and-forth discussion about literary criticism based on biographical details, providing some Brontë examples. Particulary Charlotte Brontë's Mr Brocklehurst as compared with its 'original', William Carus-Wilson:When we say that Charlotte Bronte based Mr. Brocklehurst on William Carus Wilson, for example, what do we actually mean? Yes, there's a real person named William Carus Wilson, and yes, CB had him in mind when she came up with Brocklehurst. But:We don't know Carus Wilson (unless we're immortal, vampires, or otherwise undead);We don't know what very young CB thought of CW; we only have adult CB's recollections of life at Cowan Bridge, as mediated through Mrs. Gaskell;We do know that CB admitted that Brocklehurst was a deliberately exaggerated, one-sided take on Wilson. What we don't have, in other words, is the original personal experience (if it were even possible to have such a thing) that would make such biographical knowledg...

2008-01-20 23:36:00 I have serious work left to do catching up with my mid-life crisis. Exhausted by my struggle to maintain middle-class decency, this was my one legitimate chance to slip into infamy, disrepute and disorderliness. Cavorting and guzzling, spinning roulette wheels and plucking g-strings, my life would have found meaning through despair and desolation that characterizes ...

Confessions is an autobiographical book by Jea...
2007-08-21 19:05:00 Confessions is an autobiographical book by Jean-Jacques Rousseau. In modern times, it is often published with the title The Confessions of Jean-Jacques Rousseau in order to distinguish it from St. Augustine of Hippo's Confessions, the book from which Jean-Jacques Rousseau took the title for his own book. Covering the first fifty-three years of Rousseau's life, up to 1765, it was completed in 1770, but not published until 1782, four years after Rousseau's death. The Confessions is divided into two parts, each consisting of six books. Rousseau alludes to a planned third part, but this was never completed. Though the book is somewhat flawed as an autobiography ? particularly, Rousseau's dates are frequently off, and some events are out of order ? Rousseau provides an account of the experiences that shaped his influential philosophy. For instance, the parts of his own education he liked best are clearly present in his account of ideal education, Emile: Or, On Education. Rousseau's ...

An Autobiographical Account of the Persecution of Sudanese Christians
2005-08-22 23:48:00 An Autobiographical Account of the Persecution of Sudanese ChristiansWilliam O. Levi, The Bible or The Axe (Enumclaw, WA: Winepress Publishing Co., 2004). ISBN 1-57921-732-X $19.95 335 ppReviewed by: Forrest W. Schultz Of all the accounts I have read of the persecution of Christians in the Sudan, the newly published book The Bible or the Axe is the best because it is a first-hand account written by a Sudanese Christian based on his own personal experiences. It affords the most recent example of the all-important principle that the best way to teach something is by means of a story about a person who has experienced it. For anyone who is serious about wanting to know what is happening now in the Sudan and the events which led up to it, this book is “must” reading. The story it tells is very moving and very well written, and holds the readers attention until almost the end. Unfortunately, the ending is poorly written because it depart...
