War Upon The Land: Military Strategy And The Transformation Of Southern Landscapes During The American Civil War [Review], Julia Stringfellow

In Lisa M. Brady’s War Upon the Land, the title alone introduces the reader to the idea that there was a third side involved in the Civil War–the agricultural environment of the South. Brady’s book provides a detailed look at the American South in the midst of the Civil War and the impact of environmentalism, a widely unexplored subject until now. The author explores the idea that the Union Army was successful in defeating the Confederacy due to the environment working in their favor.

Melusine; Or The Noble History Of Lusignan, Donald Maddox, Sara Sturm-Maddox

Donald Maddox

Jean d’Arras’s splendid late fourteenth-century prose romance Melusine – written for Jean de Berry, the brother of King Charles V of France – is one of the most significant and complex literary works of the later Middle Ages. The author, promising to tell us “how the noble and powerful fortress of Lusignan in Poitou was founded by a fairy,” writes a ceaselessly astonishing account of the origins of the powerful feudal dynasty of the Lusignans in southwestern France, which flourished in western Europe and the Near East during the age of the Crusades. The spellbinding story of the destinies of ...

Letters From Madwomen In The Attic, Evan Gaydos

Antonian Scholars Honors Program

This project is a creative and contemplative look into women and their voice (or lack thereof) found throughout literature, specifically in conjunction with the idea of madness. Both in their respective stories and in the realm of readers these characters are often viewed as mad, crazy, or insane. However, here the three characters, Cassandra of Troy, Ophelia, and Bertha Mason-Rochester, are allowed to speak about their experiences, revealing the method to their madness. Cassandra shows how she tries the best she can given the circumstances of a god’s curse. Ophelia is in league with Hamlet in his plot to ...
