Abstract:
Abstract: Great Plains literature has long been dominated by the pioneer ideal put forth by authors such as Willa Cather. This essay claims that a thread of contemporary authors of the region are now challenging these myths and creating works that engage a repressed history of the Great Plains through a use of the Gothic genre. In her three collections of Wyoming stories, Annie Proulx creates a sober picture of the region that focuses on painful aspects such as isolation, violence, and an unforgiving landscape. Her fiction makes use of a wide range of Gothic tropes and builds on the tradition

Abstract:
Short story plays a key role to understand the fiction or prose. It's to be said that the short story infuses as a magical in the mind of a reader when it is read simultaneously. It compels the reader to understand the aestheticity of life and truth. This article demonstrates a critical analysis of the great Brahui writer "Gul Bangulzai" entitled as "darda Ata Gwachi. This story basically presents shadow of real life of the Brahui- Balochi people in Balochistan.

Abstract:
Arthur Conan Doyle is rarely considered a master of spy fiction, but several Sherlock Holmes stories were highly influential in the development of this genre in the late Victorian and Edwardian periods. This paper examines three of these stories – ‘The Naval Treaty’, ‘The Second Stain’, and ‘The Bruce-Partington Plans’ – and shows how they use the topography of London to explore themes of secrecy, concealment, and political power. Holmes investigates place and space in two ways: he discovers what happens behind the closed doors of government buildings like the Foreign Office in Whitehall and t

This qualitative study comparing three separate English-language versions of a single Dakota cultural myth "Iktomi" presents a novel systematic approach for analyzing Native American folk tales to understand how stories function as tools of transmission of cultural information and knowledge. The method involved coding character traits according to type with regard to representation, ability, or attribute to ascertain patterns among the codes and elucidate character roles and relationships, reorganizing the coded traits into paired polarized correspondences to clarify relationships among traits

Abstract:
My thesis is a novel-length work of historical fiction entitled Thickwood. The novel can be situated within the context of great/interior plains literature, given its substantial focus on the Thickwood Hills, the northern remnant of the Missouri Coteau. This transition zone between the plains and the mixed boreal forest is an area of geographical and cultural tension. Within this drainage system of the Saskatchewan Rivers, Europeans traded for food and furs with First Nations and Métis peoples, leading to the signing of Treaty 6 and the formation of First Nations Reserves.

Abstract Chapter 3 offers a detailed appreciation of Beckett’s great postwar novel trilogy, Molloy, Malone Dies, and The Unnamable, in the context of Beckett’s experiences during the German occupation of France, and his mother’s gradual decline from Parkinson’s disease. His turn to writing in French first-person narration coincided with the birth of the Beckettian character, who wanders or waits for death in states of physical deterioration and mental inventiveness. The mixture of comedy and pathos in these novels comes from the characters’ humanly adaptive responses to the bizarre circumstanc

The conclusion of Empire of Ruins recalls the book’s examination of ruin photography as it relates to modernity—the traumas of war and climate change. But it places that narrative within a larger context by relating this theory of American ruins to a historical conjunction between ruins and revolution that has been visible in European history for centuries. Most notably, it is visible in Hubert Robert, who painted ruins during the French Revolution, and in Joseph Gandy, who depicted John Soane’s Bank of England as a future ruin, emerging from the financial crisis of the 1820s.
