This article addresses the role of space in re-imagining a case of
essentialist society as collective gender paranoia of biological
reconciliation, as presented in Margaret Cavendish‟s The Convent of
Pleasure (1668). Using the institution of the R
oman Catholic
convent, Cavendish‟s play interrogates biological polarity and
disavows establishing reversed gender hierarchies of empowerment
and subservience. To this effect, the play suggests a communal
psychosis, being delusively constructed by antagonistic biological
differences that generate both sexes‟ denial of cyborg or hybridized
dualism in their gender identification. In this regard, the presented
argument addresses several critical lacunae in the scholarship of The
Convent of Pleasure.
This paper aims at studying realism in the feminist novel in both
Jordan and Palestine. It starts by giving a thorough definition of realism
and what it means, within exactly the domain of literary criticism. As in
other literary trends and approa
ches, there seems to exist an evident
discrepancy among these viewpoints, that is to say in how these schools
view realism. Realism appears to be prevalent in the Jordanian and
Palestinian novel, as a result of various factors. Furthermore, a number of
effects from within the literary movement itself participated in the
dominance and the materialization of this trend.
This research tries to focus on Jahili Orations: oral,
written and Documented. These three cases are the
most important cases. Arabic Literature men of letters
are busy with them.
This study is an attempt to view the concept of 'obscurity' as reflected
in two fictions belonging to two different writers with different
intellectual ideologies and artistic backgrounds.
As the present study shows, each novel betrays its own type of
obscurity and careful inspection illuminates both the conscious and
unconscious manifestations of this topic as well as their grounds.
This paper aims to examine William Beckford's Vathek (1786) in
terms of the major impacts that have helped him to compose such a
novel. The three main factors that influenced Beckford are: his
experience during his residence at Fonthill Abbey; his
interest and
readings in translations of the Arabian tales, The Arabian Nights; and his
combination of fantasy with the soberly sensual grace of Eastern imagery.
Despite the fact that Vathek is an eccentric short novel, it is based on a
realistic protagonist, Al-Wathek (A.D.815-846), the 9th Caliph of Abassid
dynasty, known for his love of food, and his knowledge in music, poetry,
astronomy and logic.
