  • Winslow Homer and Women’s Bathing Practices in Eagle Head, Manchester, Massachusetts (High Tide)

    Elizabeth Block, Elizabeth L BlockARTICLEAmerican Art2018

    Winslow Homer’s Eagle Head, Manchester, Massachusetts (High Tide) has been treated by art historians over the past fifty years as an unsettling and mysterious painting, one that does not meet expectations of a conventional seashore scene. Critics at the National Academy of Design’s spring 1870 exhibition reacted in a similar way when they objected to the overt depiction of women in wet bathing costumes and with undone hair. When the publishers of…

  • The Vigour of Prophecy

    Elizabeth Block, Elisabeth HenryARTICLEThe Classical World1991Cited by: 6

    Nothing in the Aeneid more evident to each generation of readers than the interaction of time levels throughout the poem s structure.Elisabeth Henry argues that the interrelation of these different levels of awareness in the narrative is a major subject of the poem. There are also national or collective memories, embodied in names or institutions, that Virgil links to the people and places of his legendary narrative. Thus, though Aeneas story is …

  • Carmen 65 and the Arrangement of Catullus' Poetry

    Open AccessElizabeth BlockARTICLERamus1984Cited by: 17References: 11

    While the metrical arrangement of the Catullan corpus has seemed to many scholars too artificial and inartistic to have been the poet's own choice, this opinion is now being challenged, in part because recent studies have shown that the collections could have been included in one roll, or Liber , and thus may be read as a single structure. Critics increasingly have sought the principles of organization in thematic correspondences or in the format…
