Jaffre Aether wrote a new blog post Writing with Machine Reading in the group
Digital Humanities: 3 years, 5 months agoIn working with Voyant Tools, I cannot help but reflect on how machine reading can also make us better (or maybe not better, but different) writers. To start exploring how I feel about writing in conjunction with […]

Jaffre Aether edited the blog post A Language of Expression and Action: Speech Acts and Coding in the group
Digital Humanities: 3 years, 7 months agoI ran into the concept of speech-acts last semester, and while finding the thought interesting, I did not find it relevant at the time. But I find the concept revived once more as our class begins writing in […]

Jaffre Aether wrote a new blog post Victorian Literature and Emotion in the group
Nineteenth-Century Studies: 3 years, 10 months agoI suppose the most interesting thing I learned about Victorian Literature this semester was just how emotional it can be. I had already read Middlemarch prior, and was touched at the emotion and sentiment risen […]

Jaffre Aether wrote a new blog post Spaces in Victorian England: Wuthering Heights and Reuben Sachs in the group
Nineteenth-Century Studies: 3 years, 10 months agoI’ve touched on the concept of space in Victorian England before, but the fact that it keeps coming up is quite interesting. In this case, Wuthering Heights and Reuben Sachs are both books that are emblematic of […]

Jaffre Aether wrote a new blog post Death in Love: Wuthering Heights and The Ballad of Reading Gaol in the group
Nineteenth-Century Studies: 3 years, 10 months agoBetween these two texts, there is the notion that to love something is to necessitate a killing of that something. And in both cases, I cannot help but wonder if the love causing death is because the love is […]

Jaffre Aether wrote a new blog post Class and Culture: Wuthering Heights and Great Expectations in the group
Nineteenth-Century Studies: 3 years, 11 months agoAs I had discussed in my comment for Tuesday’s reading, the ontology of gentility is a major topic within Great Expectations, and I think beyond Great Expectations, it is a major topic in Wuthering Heights as […]

Jaffre Aether commented on the post, Chapter 42, on the groupblog
Marginalia 3 years, 11 months agoIt is quite hard to not empathize with Abel in this paragraph, and for that matter, paragraph five as well. For all in all, Abel is the epitome of the man who was offered no chances, and accordingly, found no […]

Jaffre Aether wrote a new blog post Liminality in Great Expectations and Wuthering Heights in the group
Nineteenth-Century Studies: 3 years, 11 months agoWhile everything about Ms. Havisham is greatly interesting, nothing could be more fascinating about her than the clocks that surround her. These clocks are not ticking, but rather, are stuck on a specific time […]

Jaffre Aether wrote a new blog post Social Networks in Great Expectations and London in 1819 in the group
Nineteenth-Century Studies: 3 years, 11 months agoOne part of Great Expectations that I found interesting was Pip and his family’s experience with the convicts, and specifically, Pip feeding the convict. Of course, Pip feeding the convict was done out of fear, […]

Jaffre Aether wrote a new blog post On Social Darwinism: Charles Darwin and E.P.’s “The Many and the Few” in the group
Nineteenth-Century Studies: 3 years, 12 months agoFirst, it should be noted that Charles Darwin was not the eminent proponent of social Darwinism, and it did rise later on in the century, but the connection is too choice to not be made. With that said, there was […]

Jaffre Aether commented on the post, Gosse, Father and Son, on the groupblog
Marginalia 3 years, 12 months agoThis passage intrigues me since it appears to best represent the effects of Darwin and Lyell on the general public, which is to say, an ultimately revelatory and indigestible one. Also, there is something deeply […]

Jaffre Aether wrote a new blog post The Interpellation of Cathy Earnshaw and Heathcliff into Capitalist Victorian England in the group
Nineteenth-Century Studies: 4 years agoOne aspect of Wuthering Heights that is deeply interesting is the accruement of wealth and status, and the subsequent disillusionment with these material objects, by both Cathy Earnshaw and Heathcliff. To wit, […]

Jaffre Aether wrote a new blog post A Book Inside a Book: Wuthering Heights, Self-Referential Narratives, and Death in the group
Nineteenth-Century Studies: 4 years agoFrom the outset of Wuthering Heights, the most interesting event in the beginning chapters was Lockwood’s discovery of Catherine’s diary. However, the fascination lies not in the act, but rather, in how […]

Jaffre Aether wrote a new blog post The impact of setting in William Blake’s “London” and Emily Bronte’s “Wuthering Heights” in the group
Nineteenth-Century Studies: 4 years agoOne area of connection (through disconnection) that interests me is the setting in William Blake’s “London” and Emily Bronte’s Wuthering Heights. Insomuch as how these two interact, I find it necessary to note a […]

Jaffre Aether edited the blog post Carlyle’s “Captains of Industry” in conjunction with George Eliot’s “Margaret Fuller and Mary Wollstonecraft” in the group
Nineteenth-Century Studies: 4 years agoOne intersection of Carlyle and Eliot’s text I find particularly interesting is their discussion of virtue. Yet, their discussions of virtue are not linked in agreement, but rather disagreement, with Eliot’s text […]

Nineteenth-Century Studies: 4 years, 1 month agoThe two themes of Victorian literature I would like to explore is how the burgeoning Industrial Revolution was represented by the authors of their time, and in addendum, if these authors addressed the rise of […]
