A year later, she added \u003Cem\u003EUlysses \u003C\/em\u003E(1922) notes from Robert Gorham Davis\u0027s course. When she traveled to Cambridge as a Fulbright Scholar, she brought this guidebook along, filling its final pages with the essence of David Daiches\u0027s 1956 lectures. As a student, Plath also recorded some of her first impressions of Joyce\u0027s prose in her copy of \u003Cem\u003EPortrait of the Artist \u003C\/em\u003E(1948), which is now housed in Emory University\u0027s Manuscript, Archives, and Rare Book Library. When she later prepared to teach Joyce as an instructor of first year English at Smith in 1958, Plath grappled with her youthful identification with \u201cthe book I dreamily campus-wandered with myself, some five years ago, the Portrait of The Artist, word-encanting, descanting. . . . to organize: how to present, vividly\u201d (\u003Cem\u003EUnabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath \u003C\/em\u003E321). Plath\u0027s teaching notes reshape the contents of her Joyce notebook and reflect that she consulted such essays as Hugh Kenner\u0027s \u0022The Portrait in Perspective\u0022 (1948), which Drew had cited. Plath also annotated a teaching copy of \u003Cem\u003EPortrait of the Artist\u003C\/em\u003E in the \u003Cem\u003EPortable James Joyce \u003C\/em\u003E(1955), which is with her Joyce notebook and teaching notes in Indiana University\u0027s Lilly Library.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EFirst-year Brittain Fellow Amanda Golden\u0027s analyzes these artifacts together for the first time to argue that the material history of Plath\u0027s reading is emblematic of the potential for postwar writers\u0027 libraries and teaching notes to enable new histories of modernism in academic institutions.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EGolden\u0027s interest in Plath is also evident in a review she recently published of\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EMarsha Bryant\u0027s \u003Cem\u003EWomen\u0027s Poetry and Popular Culture \u003C\/em\u003E(Palgrave, 2011) in \u003Cem\u003ETulsa Studies in Women\u0027s Literature. \u003C\/em\u003EHer review, recently published in \u003Cem\u003ETulsa Studies in Women\u0027s Literature, \u003C\/em\u003Eobserves that Marsha Bryant\u0027s \u003Cem\u003EWomen\u0027s Poetry and Popular Culture\u003C\/em\u003E is a vital contribution to women\u0027s poetry studies and postwar poetry studies. Bryant begins by engaging the vexed, often pejorative, responses to \u0022women\u0027s poetry\u0022 and poets\u0027 writing about popular culture. Analyzing different facets of the popular in each chapter, including material, visual, periodical, consumer, film, and media cultures, Bryant builds on the historical methods of the new modernist studies. In five chapters devoted to H. D., Stevie Smith, Gwendolyn Brooks, Sylvia Plath, and Ai and Carol Ann Duffy, Bryant addresses the complex relationship between popular contexts and the form of twentieth-century Anglo-American women\u0027s poetry.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":[{"value":"\u0022Transnational Portraits: Sylvia Plath Teaching James Joyce\u0022"}],"field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":"","uid":"27725","created_gmt":"2013-03-04 18:05:05","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 03:13:44","author":"Carol Senf","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2013-03-04T00:00:00-05:00","iso_date":"2013-03-04T00:00:00-05:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"196781":{"id":"196781","type":"image","title":"Amanda Golden","body":null,"created":"1449179906","gmt_created":"2015-12-03 21:58:26","changed":"1475894848","gmt_changed":"2016-10-08 02:47:28","alt":"Amanda Golden","file":{"fid":"196445","name":"golden_amanda.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/golden_amanda_4.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/golden_amanda_4.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":22064,"path_740":"http:\/\/tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/golden_amanda_4.jpg?itok=ytOPRiGu"}}},"media_ids":["196781"],"groups":[{"id":"1283","name":"School of Literature, Media, and Communication"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"60401","name":"James Joyce"},{"id":"171258","name":"Sylvia Plath"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:amanda.golden@lmc.gatech.edu\u0022\u003Eamanda.golden@lmc.gatech.edu\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
