Abstract:

This thesis looks at the life and works of Daphne du Maurier in the context of the inter-related ideas of religion, psychology and politics. Throughout, I use a methodology based on the concept of the palimpsest. But I also use theory provided by Jung, Plato and Nietzsche – all of which were known to du Maurier to a greater or lesser degree. Other theory is used occasionally, but only as it suggests itself in the context under consideration. The ideas of ‘Resurrection, Renaissance and Rebirth' give the thesis a structure and a theme. The interaction of Christianity and Paganism is also examine

Abstract:

Includes bibliographical references (leaves 69-70).<br>Daphne du Maurier has long been considered chiefly as a writer of popular fiction. She is celebrated as a masterful constructor of plot and acclaimed for her ability to infuse novelistic narrative with a nameless and pervasive frisson of unease, but it is only recently that critics have begun seriously to investigate the shadowy complexities of her widely-read novels. In this thesis, three of du Maurier's best-known works 'Jamaica Inn', 'Rebecca' and 'My Cousin Rachel' are examined using psychoanalytic theory and close textual analysis tog

Abstract:

This essay is a reading of Daphne du Maurier’s 1938 novel Rebecca from a queer theoretical perspective. The analysis discusses the fluidity of the character Rebecca, who despite being dead haunts almost every page. She embodies both masculine and feminine traits and is suggested to have had a sexual relationship with her housekeeper. Furthermore, this same-sex desire plays an important part in the sexual awakening of the novel’s young protagonist, who develops an obsession with Rebecca. The essay also looks at Manderley, the gothic estate where most of the plot takes place. Manderley is a plac

Abstract:

The conflict between essentialist and constructionist standpoints constitute the primary division between proponents of lesbian literary theory and queer theorists. While essentialists view identity as fixed and innate, constructionists consider identity to be the unstable effect of social conditioning. Lesbian theorists argue that the destabilization of all identity categories, accomplished by queer theory, serves to undermine the importance of ?lesbian? as a political identity. However, the success of queer theorists, such as Judith Butler and Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick, in challenging the hegemo

Abstract:

Den här uppsatsen behandlar huruvida det finns ett multipelt auteurskap och om termen auteur kan appliceras på andra filmskapare än regissören. Utifrån syftet ställdes sedan två frågor: Vilken roll har manusförfattaren jämfört med regissören när det kommer till auteurskap över en film? Samt frågan om på vilket sätt ett multipelt auteurskap skulle kunna formuleras? För att undersöka dessa frågor användes sedan en komparativ metod där romanen Rebecca jämförs med dess filmiska adaptation samt filmens manus. Baserat i fallstudien av Rebecca (1940) diskuteras sedan regissörens roll gentemot filmman

Abstract:

My research explores Alfred Hitchcock’s use of adaptation and the impact that this has on his status as an ‘auteur’. The aim, through looking at a cross section of his work, is to produce the basis for an adaptation model that could be used to examine his entire body of work, accounting for all influences, extratextual references, intertextualities, sequels, remakes and most importantly, other authors. By exploring Hitchcock’s use of the theatrical (a subject that is often ignored) and his lesser earlier films, we can begin to form the foundations for this model. By looking at his adaptation o

Abstract:

Syftet med denna studie är att studera hur Du Mauriers roman Rebecca och filmatiseringen baserad på denna skiljer sig åt med inriktning på dialogerna. Genom att tillämpa en stilanalys från Hellspong kommer stildragen från respektive dialog påvisas och kompareras. Analysen visar att dialogerna är väldigt lika vad gäller stildrag och att dialogernas funktion skiljer sig åt. Resultatet antyder dels att det krävs olika stilar för att förmedla olika teman, dels att stil inte är bunden till innehållet samt att medierna påverkar dialogernas funktion. Slutsatsen är att stilen inte går att ändra på om

Abstract:

In the reading of the servants in examples from the period 1920-1950, the servant question is invoked to expose the workings of class. The servants in these narratives of Bowen, Green, Taylor, Waugh, Mansfield and Panter-Downes, lady’s maids, housekeepers, nannies, a butler and a chauffeur, are in thrall to the collective structures of societal ordering, and reluctant with respect to social mobility. Class was not fully being negotiated in this period, in fact little change was visible. Fer example intimacy, such as that between the lady’s maid and her mistress, meant that class confrontation

Abstract:

The aim of this essay is to investigate the meaning and importance of the female friendship within Ellen Moers tradition and theory regarding the female gothic. In this essay, I argue that the female friendship has played an important role in the portrayal of the Gothic fiction as socially critical of women’s position in the society, mainly by examining the two works Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier and Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn. The essay is also interested in how the female gothic has developed over time and whether the notion can be applied while analysing more contemporary gothic, and thus, c
