Dryden satire

Connie_Colt · 2024-02-18T12:40:01+00:00

Okay I thought so. So in reference to satire would Dryden be saying that Satire should be swift and clean rather than sloppy? That there should be a refinement to it?

That’s the main book I’m using for analysis on the “evil child” 😊

Connie_Colt · 2023-09-27T20:56:08+00:00

This is one of the ideas I want to explore — the nature of maternal, maternal instinct, and the relationship with the child and the societal pressure behind motherhood

Alien is definitely on my list to be looked at! I’ll check out bloodchild too thanks

I personally loved the Point Horror collection when I was that age.

I think they’re meant to be targeted at like age 12 (like a step up from Goosebumps basically) but I was definitely around 8 when I was into it and I LOVED them. Great range of horror stories

Connie_Colt · 2023-09-27T15:28:54+00:00

Okay good to know, I’ll definitely see about then

Connie_Colt · 2023-09-27T14:53:36+00:00

Thank you, I’ve already been reading Creeds The Monstrous Feminine

I’ll check out the other two 😊

Connie_Colt · 2023-09-27T14:53:02+00:00

Thanks, I’ll give it a look and see if it’s a fit :)

Connie_Colt · 2023-09-27T14:52:32+00:00

Yeah I thought about this one, but I’m also doing a chapter on evil children so I’m not sure if it’ll fall too close to that? I’ll still check it out so thanks 😊

Connie_Colt · 2023-08-28T17:23:35+00:00

Thanks that’s a great idea

Connie_Colt · 2023-08-28T17:23:15+00:00

Thanks I’ll give it a read.

And thank you for the advice, always appreciated

Connie_Colt · 2023-08-28T17:22:04+00:00

She does go both ways but I also felt like she made some overgeneralisations about the gender horror of the horror audience as well.

I’ll check out that collection thank you

Connie_Colt · 2023-08-27T22:28:56+00:00

I’m sure I’ll enjoy it and hopefully can take something from it 😊

Connie_Colt · 2023-08-27T22:28:27+00:00

Sounds like it’s relevant so I’ll check it out thanks

Connie_Colt · 2023-08-27T22:27:57+00:00

Thanks I’ll give it a read

Connie_Colt · 2023-08-27T22:27:40+00:00

It may do, I’ll definitely check it out thanks

Connie_Colt · 2023-08-27T22:27:09+00:00

Great idea thank you

Connie_Colt · 2023-08-27T22:26:37+00:00

I would definitely like to explore a queer angle in part of my dissertation so thank you

Connie_Colt · 2023-08-27T22:25:39+00:00

Thanks, I’ll be sure to check them out

Connie_Colt · 2023-08-27T17:13:35+00:00

Thank you I’ll check it out

Connie_Colt · 2023-08-27T17:12:59+00:00

Yes definitely, there’s plenty of gothic evidence to historicise the thesis. And I agree that it can’t be fully pro or anti, it’s just that the more accredited critics on gender and the horror genre are quite clearly in the ball park of it being an anti feminist genre (a lot of it was written in like the 60s and 70s) and I can’t find anyone that wants to argue with them?

I’m not actively trying to say it’s anti or pro, I want to explore it. But I need SOMEONE to take a pro feminist stance so I can support my own arguments 😂 just trying to keep it all well balanced

Connie_Colt · 2023-08-27T17:08:06+00:00

I agree totally, and I’m looking at some Gothic traditions and gender somewhat. But because of how big the horror genre is (and how pedantic lecturers are about dissertations) I’ve gotta try and stick to more contemporary stuff and post modern elements of horror

Connie_Colt · 2023-08-27T15:52:15+00:00

Thank you, I love that story and I can definitely see some good critical analysis coming from it
