Falbo focuses on a specific archive that reveals about the connection between an emerging literary discourse--the discourse of Romanticism--and representations of literature as a special, a-historical, category of writing. But looking closely at these early editions of Samuel Taylor Colridge's "The Ancient Mariner" also says something about how the teaching of literature came to be separated from the teaching of reading and writing.
PROVO -- Europe's most ancient manuscript is more legible now than at any time since it was burned and buried more than 2,300 years ago, thanks to the work of two Brigham Young University researchers. In April, Roger T. Macfarlane and Gene A. Ware visited Greece for two weeks of intense efforts to recover hidden writing on the Derveni papyrus, a scroll dating to around the reign of Philip II of Macedonia, father of Alexander the Great.
PHILADELPHIA -- Weathered and pitted with the passage of 3,000 years, a rock slab found in southern Mexico shows clear evidence of a script that anthropologists say is the oldest writing ever found in the Western Hemisphere. In Friday's issue of the journal Science, researchers identified the carved symbols as those of the Olmec civilization, an urbanized people who lived along the Mexican Gulf Coast from about 1200 B.C to 400 B.C.
WASHINGTON -- For 2,000 years Judas has been reviled for betraying Jesus. Now a newly translated ancient document seeks to tell his side of the story. The "Gospel of Judas" tells a far different tale from the four gospels in the New Testament. It portrays Judas as a favored disciple who was given special knowledge by Jesus -- and who turned him in at Jesus' request.
Once Lanny Fields started writing "Emperor: A Romance of Ancient China," his writing literally took over. Characters took over the story. They took unexpected turns in their conversations. They did things Fields didn't expect them to do.
Titles can deceive. Perhaps pandering to the trendy "new Gospel" works coming out, Janet Soskice lays out for the reader the almost heroic ventures of two wealthy twin sisters who traveled five, no, six times to St. Catherine's monastery in Sinai to study ancient Gospels hidden beneath the writing on the pages of a book which revealed the early origin of written Gospels. Writing over earlier writing produces what is called a palimpsest. Even in modern times, to save paper, we sometimes write over earlier works. To save sheepskin vellum and precious early paper, palimpsests were common.
Last weekend I drove past a couple doing some yard work, planting chrysanthemums around their mailbox. Fall-blooming mums add that additional season of blooming garden interest few other flowers provide in such a spectacular manner. I have considerable appreciation for these members of the Asteraceae family - kin to cosmos, daisies, sunflowers and zinnias - that both herald the beginning of the beautiful weather of autumn and are still blazing when cold winds begin blasting. I'm just not quite ready to give up on summer, and chrysanthemums always mark the beginning of its end in my mind. Chrysanthemum's origins are hazy, but it is believed the flower has been cultivated for more than 2,500 years. References to the plant's golden flowers in its early single form appear in ancient Chinese...
