In the UK, at least, his work has undergone a revival and the themes of his great plays remain resonant, even though, in many respects, they are historically specific. The relationship between literature and history-whether conceived as a symbolist or allegorical relationship-together with an instance of the past invading the present, is brought out in a compelling episode in Miller’s autobiography, Timebends, and offers a way of talking about those inter-connections in The Crucible.展开更多

Brock have proposed their transportation-imagery model of narrative persuasion. They argue that a narrative can evoke imagery in readers＇ mind and then transport readers into the narrative world the author has created, in the course of which the author can persuade readers of the beliefs he＇s put into the narrative. This paper employs this model to rethink how Arthur Conan Doyle persuades his readers of British imperialism in his ＂The Speckled Band＂. First, this model considers the vividness of the narrative and readers＇ participatory response as key factors in readers＇ transportation. The narratives of ＂The Speckled Band＂ are picturesque, and Sherlock Holmes＇ inferential process has reinforced readers＇ participatory response. On the other hand, detective fiction usually has the theme of how the detective/law and order beats the criminal/chaos. That is, Doyle persuades his readers that the British Empire will prevail in ＂The Speckled Band＂ when Holmes, representing the British imperialism, solves the case and kills Dr. Roylott, who represents the evil and savagery in the British colony. According to Green and Brock＇s model, it simply means that there are two narratives （i.e., one is about how the law of the British Empire is challenged, and the other is about how the British Empire＇s stability is restored）, and two complementary transportations before Doyle can successfully persuades his readers. However, if we closely read ＂＇The Speckled Band＂, we can learn that Holmes, who should have represented British law, is guilty of trespassing or taking the law into his own hands. In other words, the complementarity of the two transportations is compromised. Thus, we can conclude that it is highly questionable whether or not Doyle can transport his readers into the bosom of the British Empire.展开更多

For Foucault, heterotopia is a paradox because it is paces that are both real and placeless. Twain＇s novel is a time travel story, which juxtaposes the temporalities of the 6th and 19th centuries. In the story, Hank, the hero, is allowed access to Camelot, King Arthur＇s court. Above all, he has introduced to it quite a few elements of modem technology and civilization. So far Twain seems to have complied with Foucault＇s heterotopology. That is, there is a textual heterotopia created in his novel. However, the last principle of Foucault＇s heterotopology states that a heterotopia can be comparable to a utopia because of its contrastive function. A typical time travel story has the same contrastive function as well. That is, in either case there should be a utopia, a dystopia, or a mixture of them. However, Twain＇s novel fails to contrast the 6th century with the 19th century simply because the heterotopia Hank has created leaps from a utopia to a dystopia. It is at this point where Twain has deviated from heterotopology. The shifting nature of this heterotopia not only disables its contrastive mechanism but also jeopardizes its thematic clarity. Most of all, it indicates that Twain has a considerably ambivalent attitude towards the industrial civilization, and that as a consequence, he is indecisive about the direction of this novel.展开更多
