Making Equals

In particular, we celebrate Paley's extensive use of female narrators, especially the character of Faith Darwin, who appears in and narrates a majority of Paley's stories. But this celebratio…

Her concern is not the inclusion of female writers into the canon; rather, she analyzes how the metaphors of woman and feminine function in Puritan religious and literary discourse to represent both the otherness of spiritual experience and the ways in which race and class function to keep the other in marginalized positions. Schw…

Transcendental Sacramentals
IT is altogether appropriate that Emerson resigned from the ministry and took up his new but analogous calling in literature as a result of a controversy over the sacrament of the Lord's Supper. As heir to a religious, intellectual, and personal history haunted by sacramental controversy, he wrestled with sacramentalism's broad implications for the very basis of representation--the relationship of visible/ natural sign to invisible/supernatural s…
