Publicación Of the Awefull Afterlife of Cats: From the Illustrated Book to the Stage(Universidad de Valladolid, 2023-10-18) Díaz Morillo, EsterOld Possum’s Book of Practical Cats (1939) de T. S. Eliot adquirió mayor popularidad tras ser adaptado a musical por Andrew Lloyd Webber (1981). El entretenimiento popular fue para Eliot una fuente de inspiración, lo que hace especialmente interesante examinar el proceso contrario: ver cómo su poesía ha inspirado otras artes y cómo esta adaptación ha interpretado o transferido el ritmo y sentido del humor de Practical Cats. Este artículo se centra en cómo el musical Cats de Lloyd Webber está en continuidad con las teorías de Eliot sobre drama, música y baile, especialmente influenciadas por el music hall.Publicación For Evermore’: An Examination of Musical Ekphrases of E. A. Poe’s ‘The Raven(Universidad de Sevilla, 2023-10-04) Díaz Morillo, EsterThis article analyses the transfer of poetic language into music, focusing on Edgar Allan Poe’s celebrated poem “The Raven” (1845). After a theoretical study on poetic language and theoretical questions regarding transmediation, I look into different pieces of instrumental music directly inspired by Poe’s lines. To this end, I draw on ground-breaking research regarding media transformation by authors such as Lars Elleström, whose work provides the theoretical framework, and, most especially, Siglind Bruhn, who has written about the relation between poetry and music, and who coined the term “musical ekphrasis”. Finally, I argue that these composers transmediate Poe’s “The Raven” by using musical devices similar to those employed by Poe in his poem. Particularly important for this analysis will be compulsive repetition and variation as strategies of the musical ekphrasis, and the re-presentation of the uncanny in music.Publicación La emigración irlandesa decimonónica tras la gran hambruna, parte intrínseca del carácter irlandés(UNED Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia (España), 2020-12-30) Díaz Morillo, EsterA lo largo de la historia han tenido lugar episodios de grandes crisis que transformarían irremediablemente la vida de millones de personas. Uno de estos acontecimientos fue la gran hambruna producida en Irlanda entre 1845 y 1851, uno de los eventos más trágicos de nuestra historia contemporánea que dejaría profundas huellas en su población. Uno de sus efectos más graves fue la oleada migratoria sin precedentes que llevó a numerosos irlandeses especialmente hasta las costas norteamericanas. Este artículo pretende, por tanto, estudiar la migración irlandesa producida por la gran hambruna y las características especiales que mostró y que la hizo distinguirse del resto de olas migratorias europeas decimonónicas. La «nueva Irlanda» que se conformaría en lugares como Estados Unidos nunca perdería su vínculo con la isla y dejaría un legado imborrable en ciudades como Nueva York y Chicago.Publicación The Pre-Raphaelites and their Keatsian Romanticism: An Analysis of the Renderings of The Eve of St Agnes and Isabella(Universidad Complutense de Madrid, 2020-11-24) Díaz Morillo, EsterThis research examines the influence of Romantic poet John Keats on the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, a Victorian artistic and literary movement. The aim of this paper is to prove how Keats became, moreover, a major connecting link between Romanticism and the Victorian era, thus enabling the continued existence of certain Romantic aesthetic features until the beginning of the twentieth century. In that sense, we will explore how this influence took shape and we will analyse Pre-Raphaelite works of art which have as source of inspiration some of Keats’s well-known poems (“Isabella; or, The Pot of Basil” and “The Eve of St. Agnes”). This examination will allow us to perceive the manner in which these artists devised their pictorial style based on Keatsian pictorialism in poetry, with a special emphasis on the significance of medievalism, and the beauty and sensuousness of his verses, and how they were transferred into their canvases.Publicación Making Herstory: A Reading of Miller’s Circe and Atwood’s Penelopiad(Association of Young Researchers on Anglophone Studies, 2020-12) Díaz Morillo, EsterThis article is concerned with herstories and the retelling of myths. For the purpose of the present research, we will analyse Madeline Miller’s Circe and compare it to Margaret Atwood’s The Penelopiad. North-American author Madeline Miller gives voice to goddess and sorceress Circe, protagonist of this book inhabited by other Homeric characters. For its part, The Penelopiad is a novella written by Canadian author Margaret Atwood in a series of rewritings of myths. In this book, based on the Homeric Odyssey, the focus is turned to Penelope, wife of Odysseus, who tells us her story from the Hades, as well as to her maids, hanged by Telemachus after Odysseus’s return. Both books are, therefore, related to Greek mythology and, more precisely, to Homer’s Odyssey. Both authors aim at retelling those myths through a female perspective, making use of herstory in order to do so. Analysing the novels from the perspective of feminism, we will see how the authors make their revisions of a canonical work in order to give voice to previously silenced voices in history how they present their female characters by calling myths into question, and, therefore, by challenging male authority and patriarchal society.Publicación Consumption of the Female Body in Illustrated Editions of Christina Rossetti’s ‘Goblin Market(Universidad de Almería, 2025-05-15) Díaz Morillo, EsterChristina Rossetti’s “Goblin Market” (1862) places a great emphasis on the female body, where ravenous consumption of the forbidden fruit is associated with loss of purity. The poem has haunted the imagination of numerous artists, several of them representing the female body in a sexualised manner for voyeuristic purposes, while others refusing to commodify the female body and its experience of suffering. From a feminist perspective and through close reading, this article aims to explore how artists have portrayed the sexual connotations of Rossetti’s “Goblin Market” and their choices when depicting voracious appetite, (sexual) violence and the decaying of the female body.
