Marcus Farner is a 25-year-old office worker living in Oakland, CA. Unbeknownst to most of his acquaintances, he comes from an abusive, impoverished rural upbringing which he tries his best to conceal. He and his long-time best friend, James "Jamie" Galvez, share a terrible secret: the murder of Amber Fiedler, a girl they had known all their lives, at the hands of their high school classmate Dominic Roberts. Neither the girl's body nor the murder weapon (most likely Dominic's shotgun) were ever found, and for that matter, the murderer himself seems to have disappeared into the wilderness. But now, however improbably, Dominic has resurfaced in a nearly unrecognizable guise, with little apparent memory of his crimes. Marcus, Jamie, and Jamie's girlfriend Erica Hoffmann - who until now has been kept in the dark regarding the two men's tragic past - must each navigate a treacherous psychological terrain of their own - which for Marcus, may mean committing an act just as irrevocable as Dominic's.
This volume traces the modern critical and performance history of this play, one of Shakespeare's most-loved and most-performed comedies. The essay focus on such modern concerns as feminism, deconstruction, textual theory, and queer theory.
Native American literature has always been uniquely embattled. It is marked by divergent opinions about what constitutes authenticity, sovereignty, and even literature. It announces a culture beset by paradox: simultaneously primordial and postmodern; oral and inscribed; outmoded and novel. Its texts are a site of political struggle, shifting to meet external and internal expectations. This Cambridge History endeavors to capture and question the contested character of Indigenous texts and the way they are evaluated. It delineates significant periods of literary and cultural development in four sections: “Traces & Removals” (pre-1870s); “Assimilation and Modernity” (1879-1967); “Native American Renaissance” (post-1960s); and “Visions & Revisions” (21st century). These rubrics highlight how Native literatures have evolved alongside major transitions in federal policy toward the Indian, and via contact with broader cultural phenomena such, as the American Civil Rights movement. There is a balance between a history of canonical authors and traditions, introducing less-studied works and themes, and foregrounding critical discussions, approaches, and controversies.
