Exploring Duffy’s Poetry in Voyant
Posted: December 7, 2011 Filed under: Announcements Comments Off on Exploring Duffy’s Poetry in VoyantIf you want to get a head start on exploring The World’s Wife and Mean Time in Voyant, here’s what you need to know.
- Choose one of the different tools from Voyant.
- Read about how the tool works by clicking on “more documentation.”
- Click on “use it” when you’re ready to start doing the analysis. The screen you’re taken to will look like this:
- Paste one of the following URLs for the text that you want to analyze into the text box:
- Mean Time: http://briancroxall.net/duffy/MeanTime.txt
- World’s Wife: http://briancroxall.net/duffy/worlds_wife.txt
- Both volumes together: http://briancroxall.net/duffy/DuffyPoemsFullText.txt
- Click “reveal.”
- Sit back and think about what you’re seeing.
If you’re interested in thinking about Duffy’s poetry as a whole, using the full text of both volumes combined is the choice you want. If you want to compare MT and TWW, you should consider using two different browser tabs so you can switch back and forth between what you’re seeing.

Blogging about Duffy

Preliminary Participation Grades
Posted: November 10, 2011 Filed under: Announcements Comments Off on Preliminary Participation GradesAs I said at the beginning of class today, I’ve gone ahead and given you a score for your participation in the class, which you can see in Blackboard. This is the score that you’d receive if today had been the last day of class. I will be erasing these scores by Tuesday, and they will have no necessary reflection on your score at the end of class. This is intended as an opportunity for you to check in on where you are and to think about where you would like to be at the end of the semester.
You can certainly chat with me in office hours if you’ve got questions.

Combined Mrs. Dalloway Maps
Posted: October 4, 2011 Filed under: Student Posts Comments Off on Combined Mrs. Dalloway MapsThe work that the whole class did on the Mrs. Dalloway maps was really pretty amazing, and I wanted to be sure that everyone had access to the finished projects. As such, I’ve combined all of the maps into a single KMZ that you can download and compare.
Good work, all!
Reading Assignment Updates for Thursday
Posted: October 4, 2011 Filed under: Student Posts Comments Off on Reading Assignment Updates for ThursdayDue to our shifts last week, we’re going to make some adjustments in the reading for Thursday.
- Read afternoon for at least 90 minutes.
- Read Tim Carmody’s “10 Reading Revolutions Before E-Books“
- Do not read Kirschenbaum’s essay on afternoon.
For your blog post, you must write about afternoon. But don’t think that that means we won’t talk about Carmody.
I’ve updated the class calendar to reflect these changes.
