Willa Cather and Dutch Golden Age Painting
This essay argues that the American regionalist writer Willa Cather was deeply influenced by Dutch Golden Age painters in the compositional strategies of her short stories. Looking at Cather's ‘Coming, Aphrodite!’ (1920), the essay examines the geometric composition of the work, the orthogonal planes used throughout it, and the symbolism of the story to argue that it offers a self-conscious visual experience. The essay makes the case that Cather'…
Crossing the water
With the advent of transnationalist literary studies and its emphasis on questioning naturalized versions of nationalism, the idea of Cather as the celebrant and elegist of American values is ready for revision. Indeed, recent scholarship which has disinterred the political aspects of Cather's writing informs such new readings as it reveals a writer cogitating and critically engaging with the realities of social, political and cultural change. Th…
The Transnational Epic in America
This article explores the roots of the epic fiction of John Updike and Philip Roth. The author makes the case that each writer has been profoundly influenced not only by great American forebears such as Emerson and Melville, but by a European tradition that stretches back to Homer, Virgil and the classical epic, and also by the example of James Joyce, whose great work Ulysses recast the epic for the modernist age. Looking closely at such works as…
Excavating 'Underworld', disinterring 'Ulysses' Don DeLillo's dialogue with James Joyce
This article examines James Joyce's Ulysses (1922) as an unacknowledged intertext of Don DeLillo's 1997 epic Underworld. After identifying a series of overlaps in the writing modes and philosophical outlook of both writers, the article proposes that DeLillo uses the methods and adopts the motives of Joyce in the consolidation of his own epic of the United States. The scope of the article is threefold. First, it examines the role and the nature of…
The Bard of American domesticity
This essay attends to the recent interest in transnationalism within the discipline of American Studies as focused, primarily, upon the nineteenth century. It argues that studies of transnationalism must expand to attend to those later, twentiethcentury writers which America designates as representative . John Updike is identified as such a writer and his Rabbit Angstrom series is reconsidered as akin to the epic, a quintessentially European form…
