En «Canto a Teresa» y El diablo mundo (del que constituye una sección importante), igual que en algunos otros poemas suyos, Espronceda expresa su «titánico» desafío a los poderes y los mores de la tierra y del cielo. Desarrolla muchas imágenes mixtas de ángeles y demonios para caracterizar sus relaciones con Teresa Mancha, igual que para explorar su propio carácter como hombre y como poeta. Participa así en una larga tradición de pintar a la mujer como ángel y demonio, la que ganó un especial valor corriente en su propio siglo. En efecto, Espronceda intenta efectuar un «marriage of heaven and hell», al estilo de Blake, en su poesía. Además, el poeta se refiere a unos versículos del capítulo 14 del Libro de Isaías, los que tratan de Lucifer y su caída. Ironiza sobremanera el texto de la sagrada escritura, para desarrollar sus retratos de Teresa y de sí mismo con (y sin) ella. En tales alusiones Espronceda soempre revela su ambivalencia y su «anxiety of influence» no resueltas, tanto en lo estético como en lo ético.

This paper examines the undervalued role of Herbert Spencer in Sidgwick's thinking. Sidgwick recognized Spencer's utilitarianism, but criticized him on the ground that he tried to deduce utilitarianism from evolutionary theory. In analysing these criticisms, this paper concludes that Spencer's deductive methodology was in fact closer to Sidgwick's empiricist position than Sidgwick realized. The real source of Sidgwick's unhappiness withSpencer lies with the substance of Spencer's utilitarianism, namely its espousal of indefeasible moral rights.

Rashbam's approach to Rashi's commentary on the Torah is characterized by contrasts: originality and continuity, independence and dependence, open admiration and flagrant aggression. Scholars have clarified various aspects of this complex stance, yet their analyses do not provide a comprehensive explanation for it. This article argues that Rashbam's approach to Rashi's commentary is not based on methodological principles alone, but also includes an emotional element that is in part unconscious. To analyze these complex emotional elements of the text, the article uses a theoretical model that demonstrates that the ambivalence reflected in the text is not unusual, and in fact can be found in relationships between other writers— “the anxiety of influence,” as formulated by Harold Bloom. This conclusion sheds new light on Rashbam's commentary, including several of its more well-known passages.

I believe it is fruitful to let the wheels of intertextuality rotate fully in order to see how the interplay of influence works in unexpected ways. Sometimes the most profound influence is the one you discover afterward, not the one you find immediately. (Umberto Eco, ‘Borges and My Anxiety of Influence’...
