Northrop Frye and Others
This book, based on extensive archival and historical work, identifies and brings to light additional and littlerecognized intellectual influences on Frye, and analyzes how they informed his thought. These are variously major thinkers, sets of texts, and intellectual traditions: the Mahayana Sutras, Machiavelli, Rabelais, Boehme, Hegel, Coleridge, Carlyle, Mill, Jane Ellen Harrison and Elizabeth Fraser. In each chapter, dedicated to Frye’s connection to a specific influence, Denham describes how Frye became acquainted with each, and how he interpreted and adapted certain ideas from them to help work out his own conceptual systems. Denham offers insights on Frye’s relationship with his historical and intellectual contexts, provides valuable additional context for understanding the work of one of the 20th century’s leading scholars of literature and culture. Includes over 20 photos, tables and figures, as well as a chapter on Frye’s personal relationship with Elizabeth Fraser.
Speaking in Tongues and Dancing Diaspora
Tropes ranging from Houston Baker's "bluesman," to Henry Louis Gates' "signifyin'" to Geneva Smitherman's "talkin' and testifyin'" to bell hooks' "talking back" to Cheryl Wall's "worrying the line" all affirm the power of sonance and sound in the African American literary tradition. The collection of essays in Speaking in Tongues and Dancing Diaspora contributes to this tradition by theorizing the preeminence of voice and narration (and the consequences of their absence) in the literary and cultural performances of black women. Looking to work by such prominent black female authors as Alice Walker, Sherley Anne Williams, Toni Morrison, Zora Neal Hurston, among many others, Mae G. Henderson provides a deeply felt reflection on race and gender and their effects within the discourse of speaker and listener.
The O'Neills of County Cork
The first record for an O'Neill in Ballynoe/Conna area of the civil parish of Fermoy is for Timothy Neale, b. 1666 in County Tyrone, probably the son of Eoghan O'Neill. The first O'Neill of record in Ballydaniel, civil parish of Ardagh, was Philip, originally from County Tyrone, also. Thomas O'Neill, brother of Philip, settled in Knockadoon (Warren), Ballymacoda,civil parish of Kilmacdonogh, in 1702. Daniel O'Neill, son of Thomas, settled in Monagurra, Shanagarry, civil parish of Kilmahon, County Cork. Many descendants live in the United States as well as County Cork. Other surnames dealt with briefly include Cashman, Chaplin, Garvey, Hayes and Power. Eugene O'Neill (1888-1953), American playwright, his daughter, Oona (1925-1991) and her husband Charles Chaplin (1889-1977), are among the notable members of this family.
