Abstract:

This study identifies environmentalist themes in the fiction and nonfiction of Sarah Orne Jewett, Kate Chopin, and Willa Cather and argues that these ideals are interdependent upon the authors’ humanistic objectives. Focusing on these three authors’ overlapping interest in topics such as women’s rights, environmental health, and Native American history, this dissertation calls attention to the presence of a frequently unexplored but distinct, traceable feminist environmental ethic in American women’s regional writing. This set of beliefs involves a critique of the threats posed by a patriarc

Abstract:

This thesis re-examines the purpose and value of New England women's local color fiction, asserting that local color functions as the groundwork on which the standards and practices of literary realism are based and as the way that nineteenth-century women writers could promote their domestic ministry. Furthermore, the thesis maintains that Stowe, Freeman, and Jewett utilized literary realism to publicize alternative theologies and progressive communities.

Abstract:

English<br>Ph.D.<br>There remains in Hawthorne criticism today, despite critical rediscovery of his texts in terms of the public sphere, an echo of denunciation that he did not do the cultural work that his contemporaries did, that he "distrusted" and "punished" women, and that his work is irrelevant to today's young readers. He has been largely neglected, as well, by contemporary environmental critics who have found nature in his texts to be insufficiently mimetic. This ecocritical reading of Hawthorne in conjunction with that of Catharine Maria Sedgwick and Sarah Orne Jewett resolves these c

Abstract:

By the mid 1800s, American feminism began gaining momentum. Politicians, scientists, and clergymen all responded to the evolving call for reforms. More and more people adopted the view that women were oppressed by a male-centered society, and most women were isolated within the home. Women writers belonged to a small group of women whose voices had cultural weight and they had to negotiate between the demands of their writing and audience and their involvement and interest in the women's movement. At the turn of the century, Sarah Orne Jewett, Zitkala-SÌŒa, and Charlotte Perkins Gilman

Abstract:

Although Willa Cather's My Antonia and Sarah Orne Jewett's The Country of the Pointed Firs have been highly regarded by numerous literary critics, neither text conforms to conventional expectations for narrative content or structure. Episodic in construction, the novels lack such traditional narrative ingredients as conflict, action, drama, and romance. Furthermore, explicit connections between episodes and stories related within the narratives are not drawn for the reader. Formalist and structuralist critics have approached the problem of structure in Cather and Jewett's works by employing co

Cette thèse se propose d’étudier comment, des années 1870 au tournant du XXe siècle, les récits des écrivains-femmes de Nouvelle-Angleterre, ceux de Sarah Orne Jewett notamment, vont choisir de récrire le lieu Nouvelle-Angleterre – territoire et locus littéraire –, à l’heure où, de centre symbolique de la nation, la Nouvelle-Angleterre devient région, non plus site d’une certaine généralité américaine, mais couleur locale. En optant pour un genre et un objet désormais considérés comme mineurs, ces écrivains-femmes vont faire de la place que leur désignent la nation et les lettres un « lieu » c

Abstract:

Though her early writing owes much to nineteenth-century American Realism, Willa Cather experiments with male and female literary traditions while finding her own modern literary voice. In the process Cather gives nature an ambivalent role in My Ántonia, O Pioneers!, and Death Comes to the Archbishop. She produces a tension between rivers and gardens, places where nature and culture converge. Like Mary Austin and Sarah Orne Jewett, Willa Cather confronts the boundaries between humans and nature.

Abstract:

Nineteenth-century women were a mainstay in the New England literary tradition, both as readers and authors. Indeed, women were a large part of a growing reading public, a public that distanced itself from Puritanism and developed an appetite for novels and magazine short stories. It was a culture that survived in spite of patriarchal domination of the female in social and literary status. This dissertation is a study of selected works from Nathaniel Hawthorne, Sarah Orne Jewett, and Mary E. Wilkins Freeman that show their fiction as a protest against a patriarchal society. The premise of this

Abstract:

Scholarship has firmly established that the short story cycle is well-suited to representations of community. This study considers eight North American examples of the genre: four by Canadian authors Stephen Leacock, Duncan Campbell Scott, George Elliott, and Alice Munro; and four by American authors Sarah Orne Jewett, Sherwood Anderson, John Cheever, and Joyce Carol Oates. My original idea was to discover whether there were significant differences between the Canadian and American cycles, but ultimately I became far more interested in the way that all of the cycles address community formation

Abstract:

Sarah Orne Jewett's spiritual beliefs, fostered by Theophilus Parsons and influenced by the culture around her, permeated her early fiction and can be seen as late as "The Foreigner." Her relationship with Professor Theophilus Parsons of Harvard College was rich and proved fundamental to her development of spiritual tenets, especially Swedenborgianism. Parsons was instrumental not only in Jewett's personal development, but also in her growth as a young writer. He helped her to sort out his and Swedenborg's ideas, as well as offered her guidance to the publishing world of Boston in the 1870s. J

The high regard for Jewett’s New England portraits has remained virtually constant. She is much lauded for her artistic control about regional subjects. Besides the post-war decay of rural New England, Jewett’s work is suffused with interest in women’s issues. She challenges the polarized gender system, and in her writings, she looks bey

Abstract:

Situated at the crossroads of literary studies, ecocriticism and political theory, Active Enchantments explores a strain of thought within American literature that understands life in all of its forms to be generated not by self determined identities, but by interconnectedness and self abandonment. I argue that this interest led American writers across the nineteenth century to develop theories of subjectivity and of politics that not only emphasize the entanglement of the self with its environment, but also view this relationship as structured by self overcoming. Thus, when Emerson calls such
