Unraveling A. S. Byatt’s “Racine and the Tablecloth”
A. S. Byatt’s story “Racine and the Tablecloth” (1987) has received little critical attention, even though it appears at a pivotal moment in her career. Nonetheless, Byatt herself highlighted its importance when she published “Arachne” (2000), a reflection on Ovid that further articulates the inspirations and themes of the earlier story. Considering these two texts as companion pieces, this article sets out to unravel Byatt’s metaphor of the text…

The psychology of guilt as debt is a recurrent theme in Tim Wintonâ s fiction. A number of scholars have recently examined the theme of haunting in Wintonâ s Cloudstreet (1991), arguing that the ghosts which appear in the story represent an engagement with Australiaâ s colonial past, in particular the mistreatment of its Indigenous peoples. The latest of these, Michael R. Griffiths, highlights the shortcomings of Wintonâ s treatment of this theme…

The Seating of the tun
Hieroglyphic and comparative linguistic evidence indicate that a Lowland Maya stela cult had been in existence, with monuments being erected predominantly or exclusively at the end of the 360-day year, in Late Preclassic times. These data corroborate Hammond's (1982) evidence for Late Preclassic stela erection. With his demonstration that the stela cult was associated with public architecture and a sacrificial burial at Cuello, the inference that…
