Tatter's Lecture on Intertextuality in the Gardens at Stowe

from JoeUser Forums
I was glad to see so many of you at my Provost Forum presentation Thursday morning, and especially that most of you sat right up front. I am going to give you a choice on how to respond to my presentation. One, you may write about what you found to be the most interesting intertextual relationship at Stowe and why you found it interesting. Two, you may write about an instance of intertextuality between one of the poems you are reading for class and one of the short stories you have read in previous weeks. Be sure, in each case, to be specific in your examples and to explain why the intertextual relationship is significant. The heart of good writing is the details. I look forward to reading your responses.

What I thought was most interesting about the lecture was the intertextuality itself. I had never really thought of the concept in writing, but especially in the gardens. I thought the way you brought everything together and were able to relate it to novels or poems was amazing. If I had looked at the pictures without your explanations of what I was seeing, I would have just seen pretty statues in a pretty garden. I now look at art and literature in a different way, because I am able to see beyond the meaning of work itself.
