SUMMARY:Philomela at the Fin de Siècle
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Tara Thomas\, 2020–21 Karmiole Fellow\n\nhttps:/
 /youtu.be/8is1yVM9sYk\n\nTara Thomas is the recipient of the 2020–21 Ken
 neth Karmiole Endowed Graduate Research Fellowship. This one-month fellows
 hip\, established through the generosity of Kenneth Karmiole\, is availabl
 e to all graduate students for research at the Clark Library\, using archi
 val and printed book materials\, on any subject.\n\nIn this talk\, Dr. Tho
 mas presents her fellowship research\, which examines Oscar Wilde and Mich
 ael Field’s engagement with the Philomela myth from Greco-Roman mytholog
 y. Wilde engages with the myth in “The Burden of Itys” (1881) and his 
 short stories\, most notably The Nightingale and the Rose (1888). Michael 
 Field (Katharine Bradley and Edith Cooper) expands the myth in “Procne\,
 ” “Philomela\,” and “Tereus” (1901)\, an unpublished dramatic tr
 ialogue that pays tribute to Wilde’s earlier adaptations. Dr. Thomas exp
 lores how both authors (and their illustrators) draw heavily from Ovid’s
  Metamorphoses to adapt the myth to queer ends\, strengthening Ovid’s cr
 itique of heteropatriarchal violence and transforming homosocial into homo
 erotic bonds.\n\nTara Thomas recently completed her Ph.D. in Literature at
  UC Santa Cruz\, where she teaches Victorian literature and composition. S
 he is the media manager and education programs assistant at the Dickens Pr
 oject. She has work in Studies in Walter Pater and Aestheticism and an art
 icle currently under review at Victorian Poetry. Her talk comes from her d
 issertation project\, “Queer Decadent Classicism: Late-Victorian Represe
 ntations of Ancient Roman Literary Culture.”
