Abstract:

This thesis in concerned with literary stylistics and the interpretation of literary texts in an EFL context. It has the ultimate pedagogical objective of helping non-native students of English to become sensative to stylistic features and functions and later to perform stylistic analysis and stylistic interpretation of texts. For its significance in stylistics, and as the concentration is on literary composition, the element of 'literariness' is investigated first. This results from the interaction of the stylistic patterning of language and the stylistic functions created at different levels

Abstract:

The investigation of Fitzgerald's equivocal success, of the decisive change in Britain's recent cultural perspective, involves raising questions around canon-formation, the consolidation of a national identity, strategies of writing, and the politics of reading. I have found it necessary to examine aspects of theme, form, genre and context in Fitzgerald's writing, focusing successively on convention and subversion in her work. This 'doubleness' has generated the two-part structure of the present thesis, the first book-length study of Fitzgerald's work. Part One examines the canonical literarin

Abstract:

This thesis investigates three major areas in the background of Edward Lear's literary nonsense: the parodic relationship with text and genre of early children's literature, the trends behind Lear's innovative illustration style, and the "nonsense" child construct manifest within the genre, which I claim is, in many ways, an expression of the Romantic conception of the child. The first chapter explores the parodic basis of nonsense. Most literary nonsense is referential; it often begins by inhabiting a genre or individual work, but what it does to the original is debatable. Some critics see no

Abstract:

This dissertation examines the literary and historical contexts of four collections of medical material from Anglo-Saxon England. These collections are widely known under the titles Bald's Leechbook, Leechbook III, the Lacnunga, and the Old English Pharmacopeia. As medical literature, these texts have tended to be primarily approached through the lens of the history of medicine or cultural history and folklore. However, as textual compositions carefully engaging with learned culture, these texts are relevant to the wider literary history of the period. The aim of this thesis is to examine thes

This thesis presents a series of case studies demonstrating that literary biography and literary criticism concerning writers who abused alcohol or who lived in relationships with those who abused alcohol can be enriched by an interdisciplinary appreciation of contemporary addiction theory. It begins with an overview of the various constructions of addiction to alcohol and to other substances and activities, ways of thinking about harmful dependencies which have dominated Western attitudes since the eighteenth century.

Abstract:

This thesis re-evaluates the work of the neglected Austrian novelist Franz Nabl. Nabl’s reputation has long been overshadowed by the prestige of Jung-Wien, denigrated by inaccurate association with the Heimatroman, and even unjustly tarnished by his appropriation during National Socialism. My work aims to correct these misconceptions, demonstrating that his best fiction merits rehabilitation not only in its own right, but also for the important questions it raises about conventional narratives of Austrian literary history.

Abstract:

The early 9th century Carolingian manuscript of the Epistola Anne ad Senecam was discovered by B. Bischoff in the Archiepiscopal library of Cologne and published by him 1984. It is a short, incomplete Latin text of some ninety lines that Bischoff identified as a late antique Jewish missionsschrift addressed to certain unidentified fratres. There is little agreement in the current literature on the identity of the author or the addressee(s), nor on the date of its composition, and it has been proposed that the text is in fact Christian.

This thesis examines a formative period of William Robertson Smith's life, from his entry in 1866 to New College, Edinburgh, as a theological student, until 1881, when he became joint editor of the <I>Encyclopaedia Britannica</I> following his deposition from the chair of Hebrew and Old Testament Literature at Aberdeen Free Church College. The aim of the thesis has been to explore a number of the less well-known and relatively neglected influences upon Smith's thinking during those years and to relate the interaction of these with the more familiar factors of his personality and early educatio

The primary focus of this thesis is the development of narrative transportation theory. Narrative transportation has been acknowledged as the immersive experience associated with reading for pleasure. This was later extended to include re-enactments (Escales, 2004), media (Green, Brock and Kaufman, 2004), education (Moyer-Guse, 2008), video games (Baranowski et al., 2008) and social media (Van Laer and De Ruyter, 2010).

This thesis locates James Macpherson's The Poems of Ossian (1760-1763) within a range of contexts in order to come to a more fully integrated conception of text in context than has frequently been the case previously. It argues that Macpherson scholarship has been dogged by issues of authenticity and cultural identity one step removed from the works Macpherson wrote. This has led to a situation in which Ossian is viewed as an important cultural artefact but one whose textual source, and therefore significance, has frequently been misrepresented and misunderstood.

Abstract:

This thesis studies 'I am' on the lips of the Johannine Jesus. Although previous studies of this phrase have discovered many formal parallels, insufficient attention has been devoted to the function of the words in John. Thus there is a danger of imposing on the Gospel ideas that are foreign to it. The "I am" sayings should first be studied in the Gospel context to determine their function there. It is then possible to delimit any background material in terms of its relation to John's use of the phrase.

Abstract:

1 Peter 3:18-22 records Christ’s proclamation to the “imprisoned spirits.” Interpreting this passage has challenged even the most competent exegetes. Earliest interpretations understood these imprisoned spirits as the souls of humans to whom Christ preached during his “harrowing of Hades” between his death and resurrection. Augustine identified them as the humans living prior to the flood who were heralded to by the pre-existent Christ through the person of Noah.
