   Abstract = {The dead come to life in the bodies of the living – not
             just in resurrection but also in theatre. Corpus Christi
             theatre fully understands the complexity of this
             interrelationship in the palpable apparitions of
             Christ-the-actor to audiences in the Resurrection sequences
             of the York cycle. The earliest Middle English forms of the
             word “theatre” identify it as “a place for viewing,
             sight or view”; likewise the word for vision is during the
             very period of the performance of the York cycle, going
             through crucial changes, from meaning the “action or fact
             of seeing or contemplating something not actually present to
             the eye, a mystical, supernatural insight” to the “act
             of seeing with the bodily eye; the exercise of the ordering
             of the faculty of sight.” The origins and development of
             the “quem queritis” dialogue, so ostentatiously
             revisited in the York Resurrection play, are obscure and the
             evidence complex and contradictory.},

   Abstract = {<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>Beginning in the
             1870s, the short-lived fad of “Authors’ Carnivals”
             swept through American cities. At each carnival, hundreds of
             locals costumed themselves as famous literary characters,
             performing amateur theatricals and tableaux vivants based on
             their favorite books. Unexpected character combinations
             frequently appeared on the same stage. Shakespeare’s
             Falstaff stood beside Dickens’s Little Nell;
             Longfellow’s Hiawatha rubbed shoulders with Old Mother
             Goose. For attendees, these events offered peculiar thrills.
             Similar to today’s fan conventions and cosplay events,
             participants engaged their cherished texts anew through
             physical enactment. Meanwhile, spectators could witness the
             totality of their reading experiences within a single shared
             space. Amateur play suddenly brought so many literary works
             to three-dimensional life—and all at once.</jats:p>
             <jats:p>Despite their amusements, however, the carnivals
             also fell short of loftier goals. First, organizers sought
             to advance a definitive literary canon in America, but they
             only affirmed Eurocentric texts that no longer dominated the
             marketplace. Second, the events might have produced an
             innovative form of theater, yet clumsy staging and
             spectatorial disorientation stymied these efforts. Thus, the
             authors’ carnivals left behind not only a legacy of
             spectacular fandom but also one of squandered cultural
             potential.US authors’ carnivals finally demonstrate[d]
             both the possibilities and the shortcomings of the
             nineteenth-century cultural imagination. . . . [D]espite
             their estimable amusements . . . the carnivals ultimately
             proved resistant to the literary and theatrical cultures
             they intended to bolster.</jats:p>},

   Abstract = {This article examines how Stephen Sondheim persistently and
             profoundly probed the second act of life, especially the
             years of middle age. I didn’t know it when I began
             discovering Sondheim’s works as an adolescent, but his
             lyrical insights prepared me for ageing. He proffered a map
             and showed the risks of ‘the road you didn’t take’,
             while also evincing the profound ambivalence that
             accompanies the examined life. Time registers itself anew
             – through its disappearing act – in one’s sinew and
             memory alike. Ageing variously enables some things and
             disables others; it forces one to grapple with various kinds
             of deaths – material and metaphoric – from small to
             shattering. Sondheim’s musicals stage these forays into
             ageing, and in what follows I explore how his works offer a
             prismatic view of middle age and beyond. Sondheim evinces
             how part of ageing deals with consequences – it is less
             about the road you didn’t take than the one that you did.
             And while a character in Follies (1971) implores us to
             ‘never look back’, much of Sondheim’s canon is about
             the wisdom gleaned from looking back, usually from the
             gimlet-eyed perspective of age and experience.},

             Pompey the Great through his use of the adjective magnus at
             least twice in his Bellum Civile. In each instance, the
             wordplay contributes to (1) evoking the memory of Pompey's
             past triumphs and (2) exploring the gulf between past
             reputation and present reality. By focussing on this
             particular wordplay, the article contributes to a wider
             discussion of Caesarean language and wit as well as to
             studies of Caesar's art of characterization.},

             modes of thought that, while scorned by normative aims and
             logics, produce new perspectives, habits, and, perhaps,
             avenues for individual fulfilment in an otherwise absurd
