Wallace Stevens, Communism, and the Artistic Imagination
In his lectures and poetry across pre- and postwar America, Wallace Stevens evinced an increasingly fervent anti-communist stance. In several seminal poems, including “A Duck for Dinner,” “A Dish of Peaches in Russia,” “Description without Place,” and “Mountains Covered with Cats,” Stevens addressed aspects of life in the Soviet Union, as well as what he perceived to be communism’s assault upon the creative imagination. For Stevens, this strident…
The Beatles
The first episode of The Beatles: Get Back debuted on November 25, 2021—which might be the only undeniable certainty of the endeavor. The three-episode docuseries enjoyed near-universal acclaim, sweeping almost every awards competition in which it was nominated, including the collection of five coveted Primetime Emmy Awards. The Beatles: Get Back was directed by Peter Jackson, the esteemed filmmaker behind The Lord of the Rings trilogy (2001–3) a…

Pinter’s Apprenticeship and the BBC
Drawing on unpublished materials from the BBC Archives, this article provides scholars with vital new contexts for understanding Harold Pinter’s late 1950s and early 1960s attempts to transform his very earliest radio dramas—“Something in Common,” A Slight Ache, A Night Out, and The Dwarfs—into radio broadcasts. The material in the form of memoranda from script readers and producers to whom scripts were sent reveal considerable internal dissent w…
Introduction
In many ways, the Beatles' ninth and longest studio album is their most enigmatic release. Originally loosed upon the world as The Beatles in November 1968, the so-called White Album is easily the most contentious and least understood masterwork among the band's unmatched artistic corpus. As the essayists in this special issue demonstrate, we are only just beginning to understand the LP's unique creative achievements.In contrast with the band's p…

The Long and Winding Road from Blake to the Beatles
Reconsidering Performative Autobiography
Theorizing the Beatles' expansive musical text as an evolving autobiographical narrative affords us with a valuable means for exploring the performative aspects of autobiography. Through their increasingly literary productions from the early1960s to their creative demise in 1969, the Beatles represent the very act of performative life-writing itself: by authoring the text of their lives via their music, the Beatles engaged in a self-conscious eff…
Campus Xenophobia and the Multicultural Project

Perspectives
James Cameron's Titanic (1997) made cinematic headlines with its mammoth production budget and its equally staggering worldwide theatrical profits. Audiences, however, generally revisited the film time and time again because of its unabashedly sentimental narrative, rather than for its remarkable special effects. In sharp contrast with such action films as The Terminator (1984) and True Lies (1994), Cameron employs an overtly sentimental style in…
Unmasking Another Villain in Conrad Aiken's Autobiographical Dream
The role of British poet and novelist Martin Armstrong as a fictionalized character in Conrad Aiken's controversial volume Ushant remains unexplicated in the mélange of criticism dedicated to unraveling the vague threads of Aiken's autobiography. Once Aiken's treasured guide and friend, Armstrong terminated his twenty-year friendship with Aiken in 1929 when he married Aiken's estranged first wife, Jessie McDonald. Using unpublished personal corre…
Felix Holt, the Radical
Felix Holt, austere, idealistic, and passionate, is pitted against the self-satisfied local landlord Harold Transome in this story set in a Midland borough at the time of the Great Reform Bill of 1832. Every class of society is included in Eliot's vivid picture of political ferment
