Seminar paper from the year 2009 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Comparative Literature, grade: 1,7, University of Heidelberg (Anglistisches Seminar), course: American Romanticism and the "Invention" of Tradition, language: English, abstract: Common themes of American Romanticism were sentimentalism, primitivism and the cult of the noble savage, political liberalism, the celebration of natural beauty and the simple life, idealization of the common man and an interest in the picturesque past. Additionally, an interest in the supernatural or in "the crepuscular heart of mystery" (Hart 725) was a widespread topic used by romantic authors. The latter used the supernatural to deal with the disorienting situation of 19th cen-tury American culture, which was not only pressured by the frontier experience but also by an un-ease concerning the experiment of democracy, the virtual nonexistence of a developed American society and racial issues especially relating to slavery and the Native Americans. Additionally, the occupation with the supernatural showed the American romanticists' concern with the "culture's occupation with death in an increasingly secular, individualistic, and scientific age". Two romantic authors that tried their hand as supernatural tales are Washington Irving and Ed-gar Allan Poe. In their supernatural tales ghosts, ghouls, vampires and other mysterious beings as well as inexplicable phenomena make their appearance. Some of these appearances can be ration-ally explained; others are clearly of supernatural origin. The reader of supernatural tales usually chooses one or the other explanation. However, sometimes the reader hesitates between the two. Stories, in which the latter is the case, are according to Tzvetan Todorov's definition situated in the fantastic. In my opinion Washington Irving's tales Rip van Winkle and The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and Edgar Allan Poe's The Fall of the House of Usher belong to different literary g

Ormond, Julia was born on January 4, 1965 in Surrey, England.
Graduate, Webber Douglas Academy Drama Art, 1988. Attended, West Surrey College Art and Design.
Ms. Ormond was seen on television in Traffik (89, Alastair Reid). Young Catherine (91, Michael Anderson), and Stalin (92. Ivan Passer), and that led to the year in which she had three lead parts: Guinevere in First Knight (95, Jem Zucker); Legends of the Fall (95. Edward Zwick); and Sabrina (95, Sydney Pollack). Isn't that enough in the way of opportunity or exposure, even if Ormond showed promise in The Baby of Macon (93, Peter Greenaway); as the dentist who falls for prisoner Tim Roth in Captives (95. Angela Pope); Nostradamus (94, Roger Christian)?
However, once the curtains had started to close—as it were—Ms. Ormond showed a tougher and much more interesting persona in at least the first half of Smith’s Sense of Snow (97, Bille August). If she’d done that first and avoided the black hole of Sabrina, who knows what might have happened? She was also in The Barber of Siberia (98, Nikita Mikhalkov) and did a voice in the TV Animal Farm (99, John Stephenson). Of late, she has done notably little: The Prime Gig (00, Gregory Mosher); Varian’s Whr (00, Lionel Chetwynd) for TV; Resistance (02. Todd Komarnicki).
