Keeping in mind that “to discourse” first meant “to run, move, or travel over a space”, today’s readers and spectators can still examine the twists and turns of seductive Shakespearean discourses pervaded by irregularities, amplification, irony and perversion. …”

Newman the Preacher by Paul Chavasse

But emphasis is placed above all on the underlying aim of all his preaching, summed up in the formula of Fr Henry Tristram, one time superior of the Birmingham Oratory which Newman founded: for Newman, preaching must constitute an incentive not only to ‘living better’ but also to ‘praying better’. …”

“This loose, drifting material of life:” Virginia Woolf’s Diaries and memoirs as Private Epitexts by Annalisa FEDERICI

“…A thorough analysis of these texts, which Genette labels “private epitext,” shows that they can be considered as an important creative current parallel to her mainstream criticism and fiction; they also reveal the image of an author for whom life and art were so inextricably interwoven that the creative process enacted in fiction is the object of constant reflection amid the recording of memories, states of mind and daily incidents. The public appearance of the private epitexts has aroused great interest for the insights they afford into Woolf’s life and works, but has also determined a reductive interpretation of them as a mere adjunct to her novels and essays. …”

Proserpine upon the Coin: Melville’s Quest for Greek Beauty in “Syra” by Bruno Monfort

“…No preconceptions of the kind encroached upon such lives, never idealized and hardly in keeping with prevailing notions of the picturesque that kept haunting the poet’s and the reader’s minds. The past is thus reconstructed as pure aesthetic enjoyment of life materialized by a coin engraved with the head of Proserpine, a hint at Winckelmann’s conception of what beauty was like when experienced by the Ancient Greeks. …”
