Discourse networks 1800/1900

TL;DR: The authors examines three moments in the reception of literature: the relation between the writer and his or her context, the reader and his/her context, and the original context of the writer.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider the appropriation and mutation of Michel Foucault's archaeological method and argue that it can only reify, rather than dispel, the image of the so-called man.

TL;DR: In this paper, a complementary model for Watt's interpretive tension emerges as we investigate how Beckett uses the writings of the German-trained Scottish psychologist Henry Jackson Watt, once his spectre is raised, furnishing the reader with ample new opportunities to read Beckett, ample new temptations to misread.

TL;DR: Radloff and Murko as discussed by the authors were two of the earliest observers of oral epic to have provided substantial firsthand documentary accounts of performances they witnessed in the traditions within which they worked, and both are frequently cited in debates surrounding the role played by oral epic in the twentieth-century form of the Homeric Question.
