\"What line should the critic follow in explicating, unfolding, or unknotting . . . passages? How should the critic thread her or his way into the labyrinthine problems of narrative form?--from chapter I In this brilliant and engaging book, one of America's leading literary critics explores the intricacies of narrative theory. Using the image of Ariadne's thread, which was given to Theseus to carry into the labyrinth so that he could find his way out, J. Hillis Miller traces out the \"line\" so often associated with narrative and writing in general. In the process he illuminates the nature of literature as well as the nature of narrative. Considering a wide range of texts from Western literature over the last two centuries--in particular Meredith's The Egoist, Goethe's Elective Affinities, and Borges's \"Death and the Compass\"--Miller explores the way rhetorical devices and figurative language interrupt, break into, delay, and expand storytelling. He also illustrates these rhetorical disruptions of narrative logic in his own work. In its four chapters--about the role of line, character, interpersonal relationships, and figurative language in narrative--Miller's study encounters in its own language the problems it discusses, as concepts and words are scrutinized for their diverse meanings and resonances. Demonstrating that every narrative, including this one about the nature of narrative, has divergent lines and multiple motives and uses, Ariadne's Thread tells its story and enacts its subject at the same time.

This was a rather elaborate setup of yarn going all through my room. I love playing with ideas that require prior handy work and good thought. www.chrisvphoto.tumblr.com

We search the world to acquire incredible fabrics that will illuminate your sunrise or sunset wedding and cast a golden glow on you as you whisper your vows to your beloved. For the modern bride who knows what she wants and won’t settle for anything less. So versatile, this easy-to-wear gown provides so many options. Handcrafted of shimmering silver threads on sheer soft ivory tulle, you can choose to wear the gown with or without the slip dress which we offer in three tones and in any length you choose; or perhaps you’d prefer a bodysuit? You call the shots, we make it happen. Please note that we can also make changes to the design - remove the sleeves, make a different v-neck or back, etc. Please message us if you would like to make any changes to the design since this will require an extra fee and confirmation from our production team. Due to the exclusivity of this fabric, this style is extremely limited. We recommend securing your gown as soon as you know it’s the one in order to reserve the fabric and the production time for you. Unfortunately, people are bringing to our attention and we are coming across large fast fashion companies copying our designs using cheap, low-quality fabric. Boom Blush is a company based in New Zealand and our dresses are only available on our Etsy site or our website www.boomblush.com. All our dresses are made of luxurious laces, designed and embroidered for our brand in small quantities and produced ethically and efficiently to minimize the impact on the environment. We are taking legal action again sellers copying our designs and would appreciate if you would send us any links to copies you find. Processing time. The time required to prepare an order for dispatch varies with each request. Typically it varies between 2-6 months because each dress is made by hand and not mass-produced in a factory. Timing depends on several factors – your wedding date, availability of fabrics, and the status of our current production schedule. Further to the above, we recommend having at least one month between the scheduled delivery date and the wedding date to ensure that you have time to attend to any alterations that may be necessary. Rush orders are available for a shorter timeframe, please contact us. Measurements. Measurements will be advised upon order. A detailed measurement guide will be provided as it is advised to get your measurements professionally taken at a seamstress/tailor and then send them through to us. This will allow the production team to determine the best size for you. All dresses are produced in a standard size range set by Boomblush (size 6-16 UK) and to your height. Please note plus sizes will be discussed individually as they require more detailed measurements. What happens if I lose or put on weight? Alterations are always do-able if you lose or put on a bit of weight (maximum 4cm). However, we can place the order within the current size range to reserve the fabric and confirm the measurements later (no later than 6 weeks before you need your dress). How will it be shipped? All wedding gowns are shipped by FedEx and the delivery takes 3-5 working days, no matter where in the world you are. We understand how important the ordering of your wedding gown is and our team are there for you throughout the entire process.
