“The architect builds visible history.”
. . . The speaker is architectural scholar Vincent Scully. His famous quip is endorsed by every poet, playwright, and painter on earth whenever they set to work, because the arts are all to do with construction. And their building materials are the letters, words, ideas, images, colors, and sounds that somehow show usthe confusing and helter-skelter version of our petty-pelting lives. There’s magic in the web of it.
But the thing is these bits must always suggest more than they say, which puts pressure on us --the audience, the readers, the viewers, the listeners-- to join up the dots. Our job is to ask the tough question: “What is this about in the deepest sense?” And then work out an answer. It’s our duty as intelligent humans to engage with and challenge appearances to uncover the actual truth. “Then let them anatomize Regan; see what beats about her heart.” We all need to take on board just what Shakespeare still wants us to see and do.
You can spot this in just about any art gallery. Visitors head for a Van Gogh landscape, say (1889), expecting to feast on comforting nature, but instead are confused by a forest of sketchy, arthritic branches. Clearly, those trees are in pain. That’s because they were portrayed by a troubled soul confined to a hospital. What should be a bright sky is as watery and droopy as a pensioner’s runny eyes and liver-spotted hands. The tree branches are akimbo and might well have been gnashed by some afflicted and disgruntled patient. This is no pretty picture. Instead, it’s a text about man’s inhumanity to man. Say your prayers.
It's the same with A.E. Housman’s poem, Loveliest of Trees (1896):
“Loveliest of trees, the cherry now Is hung with bloom along the bough, And stands about the woodland ride Wearing white for Eastertide.
“Now, of my threescore years and ten, Twenty will not come again, And take from seventy springs a score, It only leaves me fifty more.
“And since to look at things in bloom Fifty springs are little room, About the woodlands I will go To see the cherry hung with snow.”
With Housman, it's no use acknowledging the trees are beautiful or even sublime, without also noticing that Nature, every spring, is also a time bomb. And it’s saying you have only a paltry 50 more chances before your death to witness the glorious bloom. And that number declines by one every April. Much obliged, AEH.
Recently, I saw the 2022 play Andy Warhol in Iran by Brent Askari. It’s to do with a 1976 trip by the controversial pop artist and “influencer,” who had been invited to Iran by the Shahto take some polaroid snapshots to be used in royal family portraits and celebrity promo prints. But in Askari’s two-character version, Andy is instead kidnapped by a young Iranian revolutionary and given a virtual AP course on radical politics. In effect, this play is a duet between a “whatever” celebrity and a young, intense Jacobin—each learning from one another (like Huck Finn and the slave Jim). When you consider it, the play is all about demolishing barriers and boundaries; and on how investigating The Other mainly teaches us about The Self. Mind you, the text of the play utters none of what I’ve just written here. You, the audience, have to listen and learn it off your own bat.
SO IT IS with every annual publication of the Paper Shell Review , a showcase for undergraduate scholars seeking clarity amidst the fog.
First up for 2024 is Annabelle Law, a senior at the University of Exeter (UK), whose “Imaginary, Frivolous, and Nauseating: Feminine Domestic Space and the Boundaries of Liminality in the Early Eighteenth-century,” looks at what the Enlightenment thought of women, judging by the public and private spaces that were devised for their exclusive use.
This is followed by Ned Tagtmeier, a junior at the University of Chicago, whose paper, “Incantation as Linguistic Disruption: Magic in Postcolonial Literature,” questions the use of crazy magic in the midst of the mostly rational Enlightenment.
Next, James Sullivan, a senior at the University of Exeter (UK), examines “Mental Illness and Literary Form in the Writings of Sylvia Plath.” He shows that Plath uses prose to write about depression in her novel The Bell Jar (1963) but uses poetry for that depression in Ariel (1965). As the man said, “The poetry is in the pity.”
In “God’s Wayward Creation: A Profile of Satan,” Ella Herr, a junior at the University of Maryland, College Park, surveys Satan’s views of good & evil and mankind. As it happens, the most powerful witness may well be Lucifer himself: “I myself am Hell.” It’s tough for Satan. The Lord God can be a real hard-liner. Who’d want to be in the dock with Him as the beak?
In the last Paper Shell essay, Annie Sidranksy, a Senior at Yale University, uses a Modern poet to reply to a Romantic one, in “Fantasy and Reality in the Confinements of Wordsworth and Brooks.” It’s all to do with optional (a nun’s cell) versus compulsory (public housing) confinement.
Literary study is all about discovering new truths and challenges to old assumptions, which once mattered but are suddenly beside the point. It’s always a new landscape, with us stumbling about looking for fresh, useful answers. At heart, it’s about how you relate to the art and how the elastic artreciprocates.
I can imagine just such a debate:
Artist/Poet/Playwright: “That’s not what I meant at all!”
Scholar : “Dude, you never knew what you meant! That was your genius!”

General essays, fantasy and reality in the confinements of wordsworth and brooks.
In “Nuns fret not at their Convent’s narrow room,” William Wordsworth writes of the freedom found within voluntary confinement. He follows this line of reasoning to explain that artistic possibilities are offered within the confines of the sonnet—the form of “Nuns fret not.” Nearly 150 years later, Gwendolyn Brooks writes of a different kind of confinement, one which is imposed.
Milton’s Satan of Paradise Lost is a tortured character, wanting to experience good, but unable to escape the Hell that permeates his environment and his mind. As a living justification for the suffering and dissent of those who have fissured from Christian dogma, the base assumption within the narrative that this dogma is legitimate creates circular reasoning as to the upholding of God and the discrediting of the opinions of blasphemers.
In Eliza Haywood’s Fantomina (1725), Richard Steele and Joseph Addison’s The Spectator (1711-1712, 1714), and Jonathan Swift’s “The Lady’s Dressing Room” (1732), all three writers present female communities and private feminine space, but play with the boundaries of the public sphere in order to convey these spaces as liminal to suit their purposes.
The grammar turned and attacked me. Adrienne Rich, “A Valediction Forbidding Mourning”
Sylvia Plath explores mental illness in her poetry collection, Ariel, and novel, The Bell Jar, though the different literary forms of each affect her representations of the nuances of depression and anxiety. Plath’s poetry style is confessional, and so, she wrote to understand her own mind, stating in a 1962 radio interview: “I don't think I could live without [writing poetry]. It's like water or bread, or something absolutely essential to me.

BALTIMORE -- Some of the state's historical sites are in the process of being brought to life, with the help of University of Maryland researchers.
Through augmented reality, people can now see the historic Oakley Cabin as it was. The cabin became a home to freed African American families after Maryland's emancipation in 1864.
To celebrate Juneteenth, WJZ took a trip to the cabin to see how it all works.
The Oakley Cabin initially was built to house slaves, but after the state's emancipation, became one of the first homes for freed African Americans.
It stands as a reminder of what life was like at that time.
"Seeing a wood cabin like this is not that special, for all practical purposes. But, what makes it important, is the history of the place and the experiences of the people that lived here," said Stefan Woehlke, post-doctoral associate of historical preservation at UMD.
Woehlke is largely part of the effort to help people see what the cabin was really like: setting up eight QR codes all around the cabin.
By scanning them, people can go inside the cabin, or see how things would've been set up outside, with the help of 3D models in augmented reality.
Woehlke used terrestrial laser scanning and photogrammetry to scan everything -- the cabin itself, objects inside, and the surrounding area.
There's also audio embedded, available in seven different languages.
Rachel Wilkerson, a UMD graduage student studying historic preservsation, helped in the effort.
She said this makes the cabin's history more accessible.
"The public can just come here and scan a QR code, get into the story and learn about it without having to wait," Wilkerson said. "Something liek this is a great way to reach the public and get people into history."
Woehlke agrees, especially since tours at the site are on a limited schedule. Free tours with historical interpreters are available on the second and fourth Saturdays from April to October, running from noon to 4 p.m.
"60 hours an entire year is not enough to really share the history of Oakley Cabin," Woehlke said.
With the work for Oakley Cabin done, the goal is to do with this more historical places.
"We really wanted to be able to use Oakley Cabin as sort of a testing ground to build all the foundations that need to expand and bring these technologies to other sites in the county," Woehlke said. "To share a broad range of different stories from all the different people who have lived in Montgomery County over centuries."
Aside from Montgomery County, UMD is also working with Prince George's County to bring augmented reality to historical sites.
