The Garden, a PJ Harvey Discussion Site

DrDark wrote: I like the TBYML cover since it displays the first hints of Polly's artistic as well as literary bent. I'm sure Polly and Maria were familiar with the famous Millais painting. ...

this painting is on display in the Tate Britain museum, which I didn't know before I visited (in April, on my PJ-motivated trip to London), so it was twice as nice a surprise to find Millais' "Ophelia" there, totally without expecting it.

Wow, amazing the relation between Polly's character in TBYML and Ophelia, never thought about that before

Here's a link to Mark Mazzullo's paper about PJ:

Someday I'm going find a way to get this.

^ Ever visit the SF library?

How can I read the rest of this dark? If your trying to find a way to get it I take it that it hasn't been published or is unavailable? Is this archive the only way to gain access to it? sorry to fire a bunch of questions at you but I NEED to read the rest of it!

It's available for sale for $15 via Cambridge Journals:

If your library carries Popular Music from 2001 (Vol 20) you might be able to see it. Here's the citation:

Revisiting the Wreck: PJ Harvey's Dry and the Drowned Virgin-Whore

If you click the "access options" in the "want the full article" sidebar in the link I posted above you'll see the JSTOR archives are available at many libraries (including the SF public, which I don't get to very often). Whether you could print it as well as view it from a library terminal is an open question. My local community college is shown as a JSTOR participant as well as the local state college (I'm not a student at either), but not my local public library.

Somebody here must be a student with access to a library that is a JSTOR participant. I'd sure like to read the whole 17 page (!) article. You can see a fair number of google hits for it if you google for "PJ Harvey Mark Mazzullo", including another (academic) writer referencing Mark Mazzullo's paper:

Most bizzarely, Mazzullo once delivered a version of his paper (in english with a Japanese translator) to a Japanese audience as part of some environmental conference. It's still there in the form of 4 real video links (at the bottom):

There's an awkward (and almost hilarious) silence at the end as the Japanese audience grapples with what they've just heard.

Thanks for the info Dark, it's appreciated. I'd love to read the rest! You're probably right about students here at the garden. If not I see York University here in Toronto on the list that may be a road in for me. Now i'm off to a Japanese conference

You're welcome! If anybody does manage to get their hands on this paper, please let us know!

I just checked my school and all it's entities and i got nothing
