..., with Some London Scenes They Shine Upon (Lon- don: Chapman and Hall, 1859), 192 – 205. Sala’s etiology of the arcades (which may at some points be facetious, since in Twice round the Clock [n. 29 below] he finds an origin of clubs in the Druids) sees the “Oriental...

... in the Elizabethan Club at Yale. The evident point of the story is Greenblatt’s rejection of formalism, represented as a snobbish elitism. The Elizabethan Club is “all-male, a black servant in a starched white jacket, cucumber sandwiches and tea’’ (p. 1). In view of Greenblatt’s absorp tion in colonialism...

... advert to this, it makes the trumping of Belinda’s club depend partly on the Baron’s skill in discarding. All the more reason why Pope should suppress the drawing from the stock and emphasize the appearance from the third player’s hand of Pam, the jack of clubs, which suggests to Belinda that he...

... and argues that there is no real difference between Dunton’s journal and Defoe’s writings in the Review involving the Scandal Club. What bothers me about Starr’s approach is that he does not discriminate. Defoe’s connection with Dunton’s journal belongs entirely to the realm of speculation...

.... The rustic with his wooden club may frequently surpass the noble warrior in military prowess, but, being a plebeian, he cannot legitimately aspire to the badges of the knight-the sword and the lance. On the contrary, the adolescents are usually knights in the making, who resort to unorthodox...

... digressions on digression and in its digressions from them and its false returns, we may again hear the criticism of Cowper’s own Nonsense Club days and of Churchill’s style. But it seems highly unlikely that Cowper would rather “creep” to truth, since earlier in the poem he has said that true conversation...

... an essay on “Georg Heym und der ‘Neue Club”’ by Gunter Martens. Particularly regrettable is the complete lack of any comment on the schism in the Neue Club of February, 191 1, which is merely mentioned in passing (p. 399) without any allusion to the fact that Heym was the direct cause and center...

... as ‘a waiter out of work,’ by others as ‘an extraordinary tide-waiter,’ i.e., one not regularly employed.’ But while Sheridan was composing The Rivals in the autumn of 1774,2 Robert Mackreth, a former billiard-marker and waiter at White’s Club, was attracting attention as the new member for Castle...

... consists of the multitude of brief tracts more in the nature of timely broadsheets than extended political controversy. Of this kind are such works as Short Character of His Excellency Thomas Earl of Wharton (1711), Some Advice to the Members of the October Club (1712), Letter to a Whig Lord...

... by the Boston Press Club and booked through the Redpath Lyceum Bureau. They were introduced by Mark Twain, who amused the audi- ence with an anecdote claiming that P. T. Barnum had discovered Riley and Nye when they were “orphans”joined at the chest: Now at that time, before the severance...

... of the period. One of the most interesting features of the Scots Magazine, a fea- ture which reflected clearly the public’s demand for political news, was the “Proceedings of the Political Club,” which was lifted bodily from the London Magazine each month, starting in July, 1739. The editors...

...’ Club appears twice (pp. 63,84), in preference to the Scriblerus Club, which is named only once (p. 92), yet Gulliver originated in the latter, not the former. Davis has Swift talk to WalY ole in 1727 (p. 71), but, as I recall, this sort of discussion began in 1 26 (see biographies of Swift...

... of this study speaks for the values of the Saturday Club, and there is no hint that Hawthorne as man or as writer was out of harmony with Holmes, Emerson, or Longfellow. Not enough is made of the elder James’s observation that at a Saturday Club dinner Hawthorne “had the look all the time...

... on Woolf, one that, although widely praised, is far more limited, cranky, and un- even than DiBattista’s. This process is, perhaps, less that of the productive in- dustry than that of paying one’s dues at the social club. As clubmen and clubwomen frequently proclaim, not all members are fools, 396...

Australian literature was traditionally excluded from the global Romantic and realist “clubs” in the nineteenth century on the grounds of being too peripheral, not good enough, but from the global modernist “club,” rather...

...). In each case we have the rhetorical claim of an insight, a bright reclassification, without more than words to back it. What beside their names is the basis for contrasting, as exclusive “Tory” and tolerant “Whig” groups, the Scriblerus Club and the fictional Spectator Club, instead...

... the National Book Award sparked a major controversy (see English 2005 : 147–52). By the 1990s Morrison’s iconicity created the effects of secondary commodification familiar from institutionalized avant-gardes or consecrated museum objects. In 1996 she appeared on Oprah Winfrey’s Book Club as a charismatic...
