Is It Literary Theft?: Looking at Writing in R.F. Kuang’s “Yellowface”

by Unknown's avatar

I read R.F. Kuang’s Yellowface over the summer, with the intention of adding it to my “Lost Voices in American Literature” course. After reading it, I was very interested in the discussion that would arise when we finally discussed the book in class.

Epideictic Rhetoric, Athletes, and Veterans: A National Discourse: Part II

by Unknown's avatar

Note: This is the second part of the paper I presented at the 2012 Rhetoric Society of America conference in Philadelphia. Looking at the obituaries for Ted Williams, in relation to other baseball players who lost parts of their careers to military service, we can see that the focus, as of 2002, rested on his military service as well as his baseball accomplishments.
