Escallonia Hedge: Medea Redux. I eat my children. Or not.
http://escalloniahedge.blogspot.com/2009/06/medea-redux-i-eat-my-children-or-not.html
Wednesday, June 10, 2009. Medea Redux. I eat my children. Or not. I realized I didn’t even give the bare premise of Winnie and Wolf. Last post. So I’ll do it here and get back to WW. I wrote the following last Sunday, along with the title of this post:]. But who can think of re-doing when everything is sun and happiness outside! What a lovely day. Chocolate, book-browsing, coffee, gardens, Kate Bush revisits, oooooh! Not to mention looking forward to watching adaptation of Passage to India. Which should ...

Escallonia Hedge: I Just Love This Poem
http://escalloniahedge.blogspot.com/2009/06/i-just-love-this-poem.html
Wednesday, June 17, 2009. I Just Love This Poem. This poem was distributed in my Canonicity class some time ago, as an example of what is (as it turns out, a reasonably well-known) bad poem. We had to say if it was 'bad' or not and why. In the right mood, I might cry to this. And then I might cry some more for being wretched enough at having been emotionally provoked by something so ludicrous. Is it wrong for me to take pleasure in this, both sincerely and for its comic value? From The Gallery of Pigeons.

Escallonia Hedge: Winnie and Wolf. Or, I Am Filled with Regret and Self-Reproach For Regret Upon Having Finished This Book.
http://escalloniahedge.blogspot.com/2009/06/winnie-and-wolf-or-i-am-filled-with.html
Monday, June 1, 2009. Or, I Am Filled with Regret and Self-Reproach For Regret Upon Having Finished This Book. PS Proceed only if you wish not to read— Winnie and Wolf. First off, let’s be fair and acknowledge some things: 1) I was attracted by the book’s cover and decided to read it on the basis of this and of having read the author’s The Victorians. 2) My reading started off somewhat sceptical though optimistic because I had been reading this review. So now I’m blogging it. . I’m striking into t...

Escallonia Hedge: March 2009
http://escalloniahedge.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 4, 2009. Before I talk about Aurora Leigh , here’s the second paragraph of Woolf’s essay “Aurora Leigh” (read aloud in my Brownings class yesterday, said to be FAMOUS). . Keep in mind that Woolf is writing from the literary perspective of 1932. Fate has not been kind to Mrs. Browning as a writer. . Nobody reads her, nobody discusses her, nobody troubles to put her in her place. . One has only to compare her reputation with Christina Rossetti’s to trace her decline. . I can only pict...

Escallonia Hedge: April 2009
http://escalloniahedge.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 10, 2009. Woolf and the Body. I have been thinking lately about Woolf and the body. Thinking about this I am of course reminded of a frequently cited passage in On Being Ill. On the body as a pane of glass:. L]iterature does its best to maintain that its concern is with the mind; that the body is a sheet of plain glass through which the soul looks straight and clear, and, save for one or two passions such as desire and greed, is null, and negligible and non-existent. When we are getting our...

Escallonia Hedge: December 2008
http://escalloniahedge.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 31, 2008. I’m still slogging through Hermione Lee’s eponymous biography of Edith Wharton (2007), having picked it up last May and returned to it sporadically up until . . .well, now. . Don’t get me wrong—it’s a wonderfully written biography. . But I can’t help feeling that, even with this issue of available materials and with the possible ways in which the biographer’s craft can enhance the reader’s interest in the subject, the attraction of the reader to the biogr...I realize my fe...

EXPERIMENTAL SHORT VIDEOS - WORKS IN PROGRESS. Tuesday, July 28, 2009. This post is about "inspirational" images (orphans) and ideas that exist in my files, but have no place to go until the 'Ah Ha' experience kicks in. A suggested blogger meme might start the ball rolling for one of these orphans, or one of them might be found to be inspirational and begin to tickle another blogger's creative juices. There is so much in the blog world that is inspirational. Creativity works differently for different peo...
