Abstract:

Over the course of Shakespeare’s career, plays written for the commercial theatre were increasingly being published and read as literary works. This dissertation argues that Shakespeare’s own complex response to the changing status of dramatic texts can best be discerned in his engagements with the figure who represented vernacular literary authority itself, Geoffrey Chaucer. Renaissance readers venerated Chaucer as a prodigious polymath, a proto-Protestant, and, above all, the authoritative founding father of English literature. Whereas ambitious early modern poets like Edmund Spenser were ea

Abstract:

This thesis explores representations of the child in contemporary literature, culture, and criticism. The authors and texts considered are primarily British and post-1979, but the thesis situates them within the context of post-war cultural history, and particularly in relation to changes to perceptions of the ‘post-war’ itself in the 1980s. From these texts, representations of the child that dramatise the child’s entrance into authority as a problem for the adult, one characterised by symbolic or actual violence, ground a case that the child is required to correlate with a recognisable image

Abstract:

More than eighty years after the death of its author, Kafka fiction continues to stimulate diverse critical interest: only Shakespeare has generated more publications, more biographies or indeed more PhD theses. In recent years, scholarship has recognised the irreducible, polysemantic nature of Kafka’s writing as a stimulus for this regenerative criticism. Another factor is the author himself, along with his well-known biography. Particularly in published monographs, Franz Kafka’s life story has attracted almost as much attention as the fiction he produced. Thus, unusually for a writer whose w

Abstract:

Theoreticians of the early novel have canonized as realistic those fictions that portray the desirous individual in sustained tension with his or her social environment. Such fictions bring irreconcilable and subversive voices into conflict, and privilege a strongly linear, teleological plot. This critical focus has contributed to the dismissal of a substantial body of eighteenth-century British fiction which adopts alternative structures in order to express different ideological alignments. In particular, a study of pairs of works by authors who may in the first case be relative unknowns, but

Abstract:

In “The Contest of Marriage: Domestic Authority in Victorian Literature”, I argue that depictions of engaged and newlywed couples in the Victorian novel consistently dismantle the concept of marriage, depicting the process of two individuals attempting to become one couple as a tenuous and even dangerous project to be undertaken during the nineteenth century. By looking at works where the decision to marry comes at the beginning of the novel rather than the conclusion, I examine the ways in which different novelists document and anatomize the consistent failures in the theoretical underpinning

Abstract:

This thesis examines the relationship between pedagogy and print in early modern England. I argue that while print held great educational opportunities, it also presented intense pedagogical challenges. Writers had to overcome the difficulties of teaching a remote, anonymous readership and deal with the problematic status of their pedagogical publications as commodities. These difficulties forced writers to employ sophisticated rhetorical strategies in order to facilitate instruction and privilege their educational ideals, resulting in a level of expressive activity in their writings which h

Abstract:

This study offers a feminist reading of Katherine Anne Porter's Miranda stories and includes in its discussion "Old Morality," "Pale Horse, Pale Rider," and the stories of The Old Order as well as the "implicit" Miranda stories "Flowering Judas" and "Holiday." Focusing on questions of gender politics, the study traces the ways the representatives of patriarchal culture within Porter's texts attempt to circumscribe Miranda in traditional gender roles and examines the extent to which Miranda succeeds in asserting her independence. Central to the analysis is the argument that gender politics do n

Abstract:

I explore how the structure of Barbara Kingsolver’s The Poisonwood Bible invites the reader to accept narrators’ authority in different ways depending on their temporal situatedness. I examine how a retrospective, extradiegetic perspective contrasts with limited, homodiegetic and intradiegeitc perspectives among female narrators. I analyze the strengths and weaknesses of each approach, as well as how they shape one another. I discuss how the intersection of these voices develops the identity and enhances the authority of each narrator. Kingsolver employs polyvocality to bring female voices out

While these authors bring rape to the foreground as they explore massive social change and systemic brutality, Courtemanche, Sidhwa and Coetzee differ significantly in their treatment of sexual violence.

However, interdisciplinary research in nineteenth-century painting and literature often focuses on the rich selection of works from the second half of the century.

No author from antiquity has had more influence on modern perceptions of the ancient poet, Ennius, than the late-Republican orator, Cicero. Indeed, Cicero helped transform the image of Ennius from that of a poet to an auctor, an authoritative source. Likewise, at the hands of Cicero, Ennius’ Annales was portrayed in a variety of ways, ranging from a work with scientific credibility, to a text actively involved in the transmission of Roman culture. This thesis aims to explore the ways in which Cicero constructed the authority of Ennius and his Annales through a close analysis of the citations i
