The Nuclear Family from Wellington to Hiroshima: Eithne Wilkins's ‘Oranges and Lemons’
This is a recuperative essay addressing the work of Eithne Wilkins (1914–75), a poet with a strong presence in journals of the 1940s and 1950s, but now mainly remembered as the first translator (with her husband Ernst Kaiser) of Musil's The Man Without Qualities. I argue for her importance as a largely forgotten late modernist, and examine her major poetic sequence ‘Oranges and Lemons’, possibly the only long poem published by an English woman wr…

In this analysis, the theory explains how Hezbollah has successfully managed to recruit new members and convince them to perpetrate terrorist attacks. The essence of a…

Catastrophe and Trauma: A Response to Anita Rupprecht
Anita Rupprecht's paper in this number, the first detailed discussion of the role of the Zong massacre in abolitionist writings to be published, raises a number of interesting questions. Perhaps the boldest suggestion is that the Zong served, in its above-decks visibility, as a stand-in for the below-decks invisibility of an experience of which there are almost no eyewitness accounts left by those who experienced it: the Middle Passage itself. In…

"A Good Word for Winter": The Poetics of a Season
THE winters of New England can be bitter, and the climate has a bite only rarely felt in England since the harsh winters of the late seventeenth century. The snow tends to lie on the ground longer in the Atlantic northwest, so that the land thaws instead of gradually blossoming. The first American settlers were not slow to notice this fact, and the season has, I believe, become involved in American writing in a unique way. The snows of winter hav…
