Manipulating Mythology in Ancient Athens

Jerome Ruddick It is hard to imagine how influential Greek mythology was within Ancient Greece.

Irony and Political Education in Northanger Abbey

PERSUASIONS ON-LINEV.21, NO.1 (Winter 2000)Irony and Political Education in Northanger Abbey Jane Austen’s politics have formed one of the most persistent battlegrounds of modern criticism of her novels. The question of whether her novels advocate conservative Toryism or a more subversive position (feminism or broader Jacobinism) is one of the main planes of cleavage along which one can divide Austen scholarship. Northanger Abbey, as the earliest of Austen’s novels to be completed and the one...
