21st Century Literature: Now through History

Madison Conference -- March 24, 2007

James Madison University, Harrisonburg, VA

             "These imponderables are what I am finally concerned
with =96 our sense of the ground under and around us, our ...sense of
where is it in time we find ourselves=85 [O]ur relation =96 individually
and collectively =96 to the idea of past, present, and future has been
radically modified. A great many people now live with the feeling
that both the historical and the personal past exist on the other
side of a widening gulf, while the future seems to press down
with a palpable urgency."

  Faith and the Body: Victorian Evangelicals
   
  "Occasionally peeping inside the leaves to see that Venus's arm was not broken, [Sue] entered with her heathen load into the most Christian city in the country by an obscure street running parallel to the main one, and round a corner to the side door of the establishment to which she was attached. Her purchases were taken straight up to her own chamber, and she at once attempted to lock them in a box that was her very own property; but finding them too cumbersome she wrapped them in large sheets of brown paper, and stood them on the floor in a corner." – Thomas Hardy, Jude the Obscure, 1895

  "Angry Young (Wo)Men": Theatrical Violence as Ethical Debate

In late 1995, two significant events changed the theatrical landscape:
John Osborne (Look Back in
Anger) died, and Sarah Kane's play Blasted premiered at the Royal Court
Theatre in London. The timing
was somewhat serendipitous—as one of the original "Angry Young Men"
left this world, one of the "New
Brutalists" made her mark on it.
