Abstract:
While crediting William Wordsworth'stutelage in his 1887 essay “Books Which Have Influenced Me,” Robert Louis Stevenson indicates that the poet's contribution to his writing is difficult to pin down: “Wordsworth should perhaps come next. Every one has been influenced by Wordsworth and it is hard to tell precisely how” (164). Seeking to understand this relationship, I examined Stevenson's copy of Wordsworth'sThe Poetical Works(1858) at the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library at Yale University. Stevenson's penciled markings, cross-references, and annotations fill the six-volume set, indicating careful and repeated reading over many years. Stevenson purchased the edition as he was entering adulthood in Edinburgh, and kept it with him until the end of his life in Samoa. While Stevenson's marginalia cannot be precisely dated, the handwriting alongside Wordsworth's poetry ranges from the large sloped script of his early years (1870--1874) to the smaller, more rounded and upright letters he used in the final period of his life (1890–1894). Given this record and the frequency and depth of Stevenson's allusions to Wordsworth in his fiction, essays, and letters, it is surprising that no study of the relationship has been undertaken. In recent book-length studies of Romantic influences on Victorian writing, Stevenson is rarely mentioned, and never in connection with Wordsworth. Even Stephen Gill's encyclopedicWordsworth and the Victoriansmakes no reference to Stevenson.

Abstract:
A sudden scholarly interest in Robert Louis Stevenson has resulted in a good many publications — his collected letters, a brief life by Ian Bell, a more authoritative life by Frank McLynn, and a very full biography of Fanny Stevenson, the American woman who lived with the writer for the last twenty years of his life. Besides informing us about the Stevensons, this outpouring says a good deal about where biography is now, in the mid-1990s.

Abstract:
During the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, epidemics ravaged South Pacific islands after contact with Westerners. With no existing immunity to introduced diseases, consequent death tolls on these remote islands were catastrophic. During that period, a succession of significant Anglo-Western writers visited the South Pacific region: Herman Melville, Robert Louis Stevenson, Louis Becke, Jack London, and Fredrick O’Brien. In a remarkable literary conjunction, they each successively visited the Marquesas Islands, which became for them a microcosm of the epidemiological disaster they were witnessing across the Pacific. Instead of the tropical Eden they expected, these writers experienced and wrote about a tainted paradise corrupted and fatally ravaged by contact with Western societies. Even though these writers were looking through the prism of Social Darwinism and extinction discourse, they were all nevertheless appalled at the situation, and their writing is witness to their anguish. Unlike the typical Victorian-era traveller described by Mary Louise Pratt as the “seeing-man”, who remained distanced in their writing from the environment around them, this group wrote with the authority of personal felt experience, bearing witness to the horrific impact of Western society on the physical and mental health of Pacific Island populations. The literary voice of this collection of writers continues to be not only a clear and powerful witness of the past, but also a warning to the present about the impact of ‘civilisation’ on Pacific Island peoples and cultures.

Abstract:
In the late 1880s, around the time he decided to settle on the Samoan island of Upolu, Robert Louis Stevenson's writing began to take a strikingly different shape as he attempted to infuse it with the flavor of his new surroundings. “When Stevenson traveled to the margins of the empire,” John Kucich observes, “he suddenly found new ways of organizing his narratives” (59). His novel-length Pacific works The Wrecker (1892) and The Ebb-Tide(1894), both nominally co-authored with his stepson Lloyd Osbourne, made a marked departure from the dominant models for representing imperial space and themes provided by his own Treasure Island (1883) and by H. Rider Haggard's King Solomon's Mines (1885), and they were generally met by critics with bemusement and disappointment. One reviewer of The Ebb-Tide began by observing, “It certainly has no claim to a place with those romances which are already ranked among the classics of our tongue,” and concluded sorrowfully: “This is not the Stevenson we love, but it is something to be read and remembered, nevertheless” (qtd. in Maixner 458, 59). While recent critical interest in Stevenson's Pacific fiction has tended to focus on works such as “The Beach of Falesá” (1892) and the portrayal of cultural encounter, The Wrecker in particular continues to be held in low regard. As Stephen Arata summarizes, [M]ost critics have dismissed it as overly diffuse, shapeless, and more than a little self-indulgent – the closest thing to a loose baggy monster that Stevenson ever produced. Frank McLynn's assessment is representative: while The Wrecker, he says, is “in some ways the oddest and most intriguing” of Stevenson's novels, it is finally a failure because it lacks a “proper story structure” and because “there are far too many diversions and irrelevancies that clog the action.” (par. 7) Yet the fact that The Wrecker and The Ebb-Tide are not only Stevenson's two longest Pacific-themed works of fiction, but are also marked by similar structural elements and thematic preoccupations, suggests the value of reconsidering their centrality to his engagement with the increasing western domination of the region in the last decades of the century.

Abstract:
The following paper explores the sanctity of the late eighteenth-century High Church Anglican layman, William Stevens (1732—1807), as seen through the eyes of his biographer, Sir James Allan Park (1763–1838). A largely unstudied figure, Stevens, a prosperous London hosier who dedicated most of his adult life to philanthropic, theological and ecclesiastical concerns, arguably represents one of the most important figures within pre-Tractarian High Churchmanship. Park was a close friend of Stevens. A judge of the Common Pleas and a founding member of Stevens’s ‘Club of Nobody’s Friends’, Park shared Stevens’s interest in theology and church-related concerns, even publishing in 1804 a short discourse directed towards young people, on the need for a frequent reception of Holy Communion. In focus here is a facet of Stevens’s life that came to be closely associated with his many achievements as a lay divine and activist within the pre-Tractarian Church of England, namely, his personal sanctity; this was marked by a close connection between faith and works, a strict dedication and devotion to the Church of England’s services and sacraments, and a rejection of’enthusiasm’ in its pejorative sense — all of which he held while maintaining a strong sense of cheerfulness and zeal. A portrait of sanctity that conforms to what is known about pre-Tractarian spirituality, the Memoirs may additionally be viewed as offering a representative understanding of what constituted holiness for this Anglican tradition.

Abstract:
A presente dissertação tem como objetivo estabelecer um diálogo entre três obras da literatura britânica do século XIX: o romance Frankenstein (1818), da autora Mary W. Shelley; a novela O Médico e o Monstro (1886), de autoria de Robert Louis Stevenson; e o romance A Ilha do Dr. Moreau (1896), de H. G. Wells. Tal comparação será feita com base nas convenções advindas dos gêneros Gótico e Ficção científica, presentes nas obras. Como principal alicerce teórico para a definição de gêneros entendem-se as considerações de Tzvetan Todorov, que defende que os gêneros são inevitáveis como horizonte de interpretação, além de serem entidades em constante mudança numa cadeia de influências através da qual novos gêneros são criados a partir de outros pré-existentes. O presente trabalho parte desse pressuposto para determinar de que maneira os gêneros Gótico e Ficção científica estão presentes nas obras, observando como os traços do Gótico, ao se adaptarem através do tempo, deram lugar a convenções ainda semelhantes, mas que já apontavam para o que posteriormente seria considerado um novo gênero literário. Primeiramente, são feitas considerações sobre conceitos de gênero textual/literário através do tempo, as quais mostram o quanto seu estudo permaneceu constante. A seguir são definidas certas convenções dos dois gêneros, assim como o modo como dialogam entre si. A segunda parte do trabalho analisa as duas primeiras obras em ordem cronológica, Frankenstein e O Médico e o Monstro, de maneira a perceber a predominância de convenções do Gótico – especialmente relacionadas ao conflito interior dos personagens, como o "duplo" – ao mesmo tempo que a emergência de temas da ciência, como os de criador/criatura e ambição científica. O último capítulo verifica como a primeira fase da Ficção científica de H. G. Wells em geral e A Ilha do Dr. Moreau em particular resgatam convenções dos dois gêneros supracitados, ao mesmo tempo servindo como consolidador das convenções do último. Conclui-se, portanto, que houve uma evolução que possibilitou a emergência de um novo gênero ligado ao contexto histórico das obras, o que legitima a consideração dos gêneros como entidades mais livres e não restritivas, que podem estar presentes em diversas obras ao mesmo tempo e ampliar seu horizonte de interpretação.
This thesis establishes a dialogue among three books from 19th century British literature: the novel Frankenstein (1818), by M. W. Shelley; the novella Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1886), by Robert Louis Stevenson; and the novel The Island of Dr. Moreau (1896), by H. G. Wells. This comparison is made based on the specific Gothic and Science fiction conventions present in the books. The main theoretical support for the definition of genres employed here comes from Tzvetan Todorov. The author argues that genres are inevitable as horizons of interpretation, entities in constant change which tend to create new genres from pre-existent ones, in a chain of influences. This thesis considers this supposition to determine how Gothic and Science fiction make themselves present in the works analyzed, in a way that Gothic traits, being adapted through time, give way to similar but yet innovative conventions, which subsequently would be considered a new literary genre. Primarily, considerations concerning the concept of genres through history are made, all of which show how this study was kept constant. Hereafter, certain conventions regarding both genres are defined, as well as the manner they dialogue amongst themselves. The second part of the thesis is dedicated to the analysis of Frankenstein and Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and establishes the predominance of Gothic conventions – especially the ones related to the inner conflict of the characters, such as the "double" –, while considering the emergence of scientific themes, such as the creator/creature relationship and scientific ambition. The last section verifies how the first cycle of H. G. Wells' Science fiction in a broad sense, and The Island of Dr. Moreau in a strict sense, reemploy conventions of both genres, serving to consolidate the latter. Therefore, it is concluded that there was an evolution which enabled the emergence of a new genre, considering the historical contexts and the books analyzed. This consideration justifies genres as wide-ranging, non-restrictive entities, which may be present in various works simultaneously and broaden their horizon of interpretation.

Abstract:
Cette étude concerne trois oeuvres britanniques du dix-neuvième siècle : Frankestein or the Modern Prometheus (M. Shelley : 1831), The Strange case of Dr. Jekill and Mr. Hyde (R. L. Stevenson : 1886) et The Picture of Dorian Gray (O. Wilde : 1891). Dans ces textes, le personnage éponyme se trouve très tôt ou déjà confronté à une projection de lui-même, une créature fantastique qu'il a appelée de ses voeux. Le lecteur est alors invité à suivre ce face-à-face à travers le regard d'un récepteur intradiégétique. Il s'agira de mettre en lumière le rôle-clé de ce personage (principal ou secondaire). Cheminant sur les traces de ce guide, nous analyserons la refondation du personnage éponyme comme phénomène et comme expérience pour montrer que le système de refondation du sujet prend racine dans la construction du discours narratif. A cette fin, les outils de la linguistique énonciative, de la narratologie et de la lexicologie seront employés. Par ailleurs, la réception et la refondation comme expériences seront mises en parallèle avec l'acte de lecture du public réel, d'une part, et avec l'autoréflexivité de la littérature, d'autre part

Abstract:
Ce mémoire étudie les épitomés de la figure doppelganger en trois romans britanniques gothiques du XIXe siècle: Frankenstein de Mary Shelley, Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde de Robert Louis Stevenson et Dracula de Bram Stoker. En utilisation avec les sources secondaires dont The Origin of Species et The Descent of Man de Charles Darwin, et The Uncanny de Sigmund Freud, je soutiens que le doppelganger symbolise les conventions sociales et les angoisses des hommes britanniques dans les années 1800. Grâce à un examen des représentations physiques et métaphoriques de la dualité et de la figure doppelganger dans la littérature primaire, je démontre que la duplicité était courante au XIXe siècle à Londres. En conclusion, les doppelgangers sont des manifestations physiques gothiques de terreur qui influencent les luttes avec bien séance, des répressions des désirs et des craintes de l'atavisme, de la descente et de l'inconnu dans le XIXe siècle.
This thesis investigates the representations of the doppelganger figure in three nineteenth-century British Gothic novels: Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, Robert Louis Stevenson’s Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Using Charles Darwin’s The Origin of Species and The Descent of Man, and Sigmund Freud’s The Uncanny, I argue that the doppelganger symbolizes social conventions and anxieties of British men in the 1800s. By examining the physical and metaphorical representations of duality and the doppelganger figure in literature, I demonstrate that duplicity was commonplace in nineteenth-century London. I conclude that the doppelgangers are physical Gothic manifestations of terror that epitomize nineteenth-century struggles with propriety, repression of desires, and fears of atavism, descent, and the unknown.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis is an investigation of the way in which the painter May Stevens (b. 1924) synthesizes her personal experiences and political philosophy to form complex and enduring works of art. Primary data was accumulated through an extended interview with May Stevens and by examining her works on exhibit in New York and Boston. An analysis of selected works from her "Big Daddy" and "Ordinary/Extraordinary" series revealed how her personal feelings about her own family became entwined with larger political issues. As an important member of the feminist art movement that evolved during the 1970s, she celebrated this new kinship among women in paintings that also explored the contradictions in their lives. In more recent work she has explored complex social issues such as teenage prostitution, sexism, and child abuse in a variety of artistic styles and media. This study investigates how May Stevens continues to portray issues of international significance in works that consistently engage the viewer on a personal, almost visceral level.

I offer a cloud of observations about language and art. I will prioritize my questions about how language operates in art, the way it functions within my own studio practice, and locate aesthetic interstices throughout. There will be insights gleaned from the various orderers of order (Lacan, Saussure) and orderers of disorder (Derrida, Agamben), walks in terra-incognita, and even some poetry on my part. I will take this chance to orient myself among different structures and deconstructions that have piledup around language, aesthetics and art.

Abstract:
Due to their inclusion of characters or objects that are the result of scientific investigation or subject to scientific scrutiny, Frankenstein, Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, and “The Colour Out of Space” are works that may be classified as science fiction. However, despite these narratives’ engagement with scientific practice, at crucial moments when scientific description would be expected, it is prominently absent. This report investigates the effects of these absences within the narratives and suggests that such absences do not appear due to the author’s unfamiliarity with the science of her or his era, but rather serve the positive purpose of creating the effect of the sublime through horror, which is most effective when the reader is forced to confront the unknown or unreadable. To corroborate this hypothesis, this report also examines the treatment of certain hybrids within the three stories and the way that the terror they inspire seems to rely on the ways in which they mingle the known with the unknown and resist coherent description. Overall, this report seeks to illuminate the complex interaction of the known and the not yet known that has enabled a fruitful interaction between science fiction and horror as genres since the inception of science fiction as a definable genre.

Abstract:
This chapter explores coalitions that Latin American feminists forged in opposition to Doris Stevens. After the 1928 conference, Stevens became the chair of the Inter-American Commission of Women. Many Latin American feminists, including Clara Gonzoz (one of the first appointed to the Commission), Ofelia Dom쭧uez Navarro, and Paulina Luisi, found that Stevens’s commitments to anti-imperialism were thin, and that she ran the Commission unilaterally, excluding Latin American feminists’ countervailing ideas. Stevens controlled the Commission finances, participants, and agenda, which she focused exclusively on the Equal Rights and Equal Nationality treaties. Spanish-speaking feminists in turn forged stronger bonds with each other and promoted their own feminismo prࢴico, defined by solidarity around local struggles, anti-imperialism, and promotion of women’s social and economic rights. Dom쭧uez became a pivotal mouthpiece. Disillusioned with Stevens after the Commission’s 1930 meeting in Havana, Dom쭧uez became infuriated several years later when Stevens criticized her for not promoting women’s suffrage during the Cuban revolution against Machado. Dom쭧uez, who had been imprisoned by this dictatorship, penned a fiery response to Stevens and disseminated their correspondence throughout the region. This insurgency, and the friendships between Dom쭧uez, Gonzoz, Luisi, and others would be the seedbed for a Latin-American-led inter-American feminism.

In the summer of 1699 James Stevenson received an unexpected visitor. Stevenson had been keeper of the Advocates Library, late seventeenth-century Edinburgh’s centre for legal and historical scholarship, since 1693 but now he found himself in the role of novice instead of master. Over two June afternoons his guest, one ‘Mr. Fleming’, taught Stevenson how to date medieval handwriting and even examined many of the library’s manuscripts himself, determining their ages and correcting the descriptions made by Stevenson and his predecessor James Nasmyth. A few days later the stranger had vanished from Edinburgh, leaving Stevenson with only a baffled recollection of an unusually erudite ‘foraign travelled man’....

Abstract:
Birds comprise one of the most storied figural sites in Anglo-American poetry—and particularly in the Romantic genealogy that runs from Keats’s nightingale, Shelley’s skylark, and Poe’s raven to the birds that appear centrally in many of Wallace Stevens’s most important poems. Drawing on the work of Jacques Derrida, this chapter will explore how in the bird topos of Stevens, the lines of animal studies and posthumanism cross in a way that subordinates the problem of the animal other to a more radically inhuman or ahuman otherness that is not limited to animal and human bodies, but in fact “traverses the life/death relation” (to use Derrida’s phrase). And this fact, in tandem with Derrida’s speculations on Heidegger and Defoe in the The Beast and the Sovereign, enables us to understand the peculiar quality of Stevens’s “ecological” poetics.

Abstract:
This chapter considers a range of Scottish writers associated with the late-Victorian romance revival – Stevenson, Conan Doyle, Lang, Barrie, Jacob and Buchan– and examines the ways in which each writer’s work contributed to cultural revivalism in Scotland. After identifying a key context that many revivalists felt was inhibiting the health of Scottish nationality – the Highland-Lowland cultural divide – the chapter goes on to scrutinise the various ways that Stevenson’s writings interrogated that divide and attempted to demonstrate greater national connection between the different geographies and cultures of Scotland. While his correspondent, Arthur Conan Doyle, was less directly aligned to Scottish cultural revivalism, we witness his concerns with Anglocentrism in The Mystery of Cloomber and The Lost World, the latter of which reflects his changing views around the question of Home Rule. The latter sections of the chapter consider some of the ways in which we can link the work of Lang, Barrie, Jacob and Buchan to fin-de-siècle Scottish cultural revivalism.

Abstract:
“Jekyll and Hyde” is a phrase known to many, though few have read the short novella published in 1886. It is far more likely that people have encountered the phrase during conversation or in one of its numerous adaptations. In fact, the Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson is the most adapted story of all time, even exceeding such texts as Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, Charles Dickens’s A Christmas Carol, and Shakespeare’s The Tempest (Rose 1996). The idiom “Jekyll and Hyde” usually refers to someone or something that manifests its opposite tendency in different contexts. Colloquially, it does not always carry an explicit chemical connotation. But, in the more than 100 stage, movie, television, and cartoon adaptations (for a continually updated list, see Dury 2006), Jekyll is nearly always transformed into Hyde after ingesting or injecting a chemical formula of his own manufacture. For this reason, it is the single most important example of chemical self-experimentation in the movies. Nearly all of the dramatic Jekyll and Hyde adaptations have important scenes in which the mirror is used as a research tool. After Jekyll transforms into Hyde for the first time, he determines that the experiment was a success by looking into a mirror. He sees the monstrous Hyde in the reflection and knows that he, Jekyll, no longer looks like himself. It is very likely he no longer even feels viscerally like himself. The transformation scene, preceding the mirror scene, often shows Jekyll painfully grimacing, shaking, or groaning. The mirror scene is the point of full realization. We can conclude that Jekyll’s mind, though now contained in the persona of Hyde for the first time, is still able to internalize this realization with a scientist’s thinking process. As the story progresses, however, Hyde becomes increasingly more powerful and uses the mirror for self-satisfied confirmation that he has trumped Jekyll yet again. The mirror is the axis on which the status of the Jekyll and Hyde character flips. The mirror scene initiates an understanding that Jekyll and Hyde function as a paired unit.

Abstract:
The title of this chapter is an aphorism from Adagia by Wallace Stevens. What this metaphorical conjoining could mean is unpacked as a further introduction to the complexities surrounding the relationships that poets and poetry may have with money, the theme illustrated by an article by Charles Simic. This aphorism being a form of metaphor, the metaphorical grounding of the book’s exploration is developed here. Stevens’s aphorism has been widely commented on, and a discussion of it includes references to poems by Dana Gioia and William Matthews, as well as remarks by the fictional poet in Humboldt’s Gift. The aphorism is then interpreted in the light of its poet’s two essays on insurance claims, which leads into a discussion of his poem ‘Attempt to Discover Life’, a lyric that concludes with a reference to Cuban currency.

Abstract:
James Cochran Stevenson Runciman (SR) lived a long life, which may be brought to order by identifying four overlapping phases. In the first, SR, went up from Eton (where as a Colleger he transferred from Classics to History) to Trinity College, Cambridge, in 1921 at the age of eighteen, graduating (double first) in 1924, where he was fellow (1927–38, honorary fellow from 1965) and University lecturer (1932–8). His grandfather's death in 1938 allowed SR to choose to become an ‘independent scholar’, a second phase which never ended. But a third phase supervened from 1940–7, SR's more fruitful equivalent of Edward Gibbon's service with the Hampshire Militia in 1759–62. It was a period of independence and maturity away from home. The British Academy's election of SR to its fellowship in 1957 marks the beginning of a fourth phase. It came after the conclusion of SR's greatest uncommissioned work, A History of the Crusades, 3 vols. (Cambridge, 1951–4).

Abstract:
This lecture discusses form, which is a term that has multiform meanings and is contradictory. It looks at the sense of form found in the works of Sylvia Plath, Elizabeth Bishop, and Anne Stevenson. Form is not simply as a matter of formal technique, but as an object in a tradition that goes back to Victorian aestheticism's playful commodifications of its own formal pleasures. It states that the sense of elegy may be greater or lesser, depending on the poem.

Abstract:
PZT nanofibers are piezoelectric and can produce a relatively high electrical output under strain that is useful for self-powered nanogenerators. To obtain maximum power output from these devices, their internal impedance needs to be matched with their applicable load impedance. Electrical impedance measurements of PZT nanofibers were performed using a variety of methods over a frequency spectrum ranging from DC to 3.0 GHz. These methods include Conductive AFM and Scanning Microwave Impedance Microscopy. Nanofibers formed by electro-spinning with diameters ranging from 3 to 150 nm were collected and measured. The nanofiber impedance was extremely high at low frequency, decreased considerably at higher frequency and varied with nanofiber diameter as well. The results are applicable for the analysis of many types of nanogenerators and nanosensors including those produced at Stevens.

Abstract:
The movement of a fluid represents a fundamental phenomenon with many practical applications in a variety of engineering disciplines. The losses incurred in pipes, ducts and fittings and the characteristics of the corresponding fluid flow patterns are core subjects of undergraduate engineering courses in fluid mechanics. These courses are typically accompanied by laboratory components that aim to help the students in visualizing and understanding the complex theoretical concepts. Conducting hands-on experiments in undergraduate laboratory courses with large student enrollment imposes significant strains on the fiscal, spatial and personnel resources of the educational institutions. Therefore, virtual and remote laboratories are rapidly being adopted in engineering education across the globe as a compelling tool for enhancing the laboratory experience of students residing on campus as well as beyond the local campus. This paper will discuss some recent developments that were accomplished as part of a multi-disciplinary research project on online laboratories at Stevens Institute of Technology with funding from the National Science Foundation. Here, a remote laboratory setup is presented, which was developed by retrofitting a commercially available air flow rig with remote control and remote monitoring capabilities. The resulting system enables the students to access the experimental apparatus via the Internet in real time from anywhere at anytime and to conduct several laboratory exercises, including the calibration of a flow meter based on an orifice plate that is inserted into the air stream, the exploration of the flow development in a straight pipe and the determination of the free-flow velocity profile after the outlet. This remote experiment setup and/or a previously developed interactive virtual flow rig simulation module can be used in the laboratory part of the fluid mechanics course to complement hands-on experiments where the students are present in the actual laboratory facility.
