Full textAbstract:
This study examines the forces which shaped the main character--Tess Durbeyfield--in Hardy's novel in terms of the effects which her alcoholic family had upon her mental and emotional potential and which ultimately become the determining factors in her self-destruction. Using the elements and patterns set forth in the literature regarding the dynamics of the alcoholic family, I attempt to show that Hardy's novel may best be understood as the story of a woman whose life and destiny are controlled by the consequences of her father's alcoholism. This interpretation seems to account best for many elements of the novel, such as Tess's destruction, and provides a rich appreciation of Hardy's technique and vision.

We adjust physical variables in such a way as to minimize this noise and achieve a photometric precision limited in large part by shot noise. Ultimately, the goal is to demonstrate in the lab, by analyzing photon data generated by LED simulated stars and using relative photometric techniques, that TESS CCDs and electronics are capable of performing photometry at the 100ppm (parts per million) level as required by the goals of the space mission. In our investigation, we are limited by unusually high readout noise in the CCD electronics but still able to achieve reliable sub-200ppm level photometry in the lab.<br>by Lulu Liu.<br>S.B.

Full textAbstract:
Planetary Nebulae (PNe) are the product of Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) evolution. Evolved from Solar-like intermediate mass stars (0.8 – 8M), they have a hot, radiating core that ionizes the gas of the expelled envelope, producing a glowing nebula. The core eventually evolves into a white dwarf (WD), following the WD cooling track. Complex, aspherical morphologies are observed in PNe and binary central stars (CSs) have been the favoured explanation for deviations from spherical symmetry. Finding and characterizing the population of binary CSs is thus important to understand the physics behind their morphologies. The objects of this study are Hen3-1333, Hen2-113 and Hen2-47, all with WolfRayet (WR) CSs that commonly exhibit fast, dense stellar winds. All exhibit multipolarity in their young nebulae, Hen3-1333 has a disk and dual-dust chemistry, while the other two have central stars offset from the geometric centre of their nebulae. The objects were chosen because most of these features, especially multipolar morphologies, are not well represented amongst PNe with known binary CSs. Here we develop a quantitative time-series analysis to determine whether these objects have binary CSs and develop constraints to permissible orbital parameters. The High Resolution Spectrograph (HRS) of the Southern African Large Telescope (SALT) was used to collect échelle spectroscopic data over 3 years and The Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) was used to obtain photometric data for the objects. The medium resolution (MR) mode (R ≈ 40000) was chosen and 58, 60, and 35 spectra were collected for Hen3-1333, Hen2-113 and Hen2-47, respectively, with an average S/N of 40 at 4495 Å. The TESS data had continuous sampling (30 min cadence) recorded for an orbit length of 27.4 days. Using cross-correlation and Gaussian line fitting, radial velocity (RV) time-series were compared to lightcurves determined from the TESS data. Lomb-Scargle periodograms were used to search for periodic variability in the RV and photometry time-series data. The results were discussed based on short (0 – 10 days), intermediate (10 – 103 days) and long (103 – 104 days) orbital period ranges. Compatible scenarios for each range were estimated by combining observational constraints with different parameters expected for assumed companion star types. The quantitative variability analysis excludes short orbital period binary systems, suggesting that if their multiple features are due to binary interactions, the most likely case is the long orbital period range. If the variability observed is due to a companion, rather than pulsations from the CS, the companion masses, 0.10 – 1.36 M for Hen3-1333, 0.043 – 1.27 M for Hen2-113 and 0.077 – 1.36 M for Hen2-47, correspond to main sequence stars and dwarfs.

D., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Department of Physics, 2019<br>Cataloged from student-submitted PDF version of thesis.<br>Includes bibliographical references (pages 213-229).<br>Giant planets play a fundamental role in shaping the architecture of planetary systems and the formation and evolution of smaller planets. Over the last few decades, over 1000 giant planets have been discovered outside the Solar System, yet many open questions remain about their formation and evolution histories. How do close-in giant planets -- the so-called "hot Jupiters" --<br>reach orbits as short as < 0.01 AU, where they could not have accreted their gaseous envelopes? How do many hot Jupiters attain radii larger than predicted by standard models of planetary structure? How do giant planets form, and what determines their final masses? To answer these questions, we need to amass a large and diverse population of giant planets that will allow us to uncover their evolution histories through both case studies and statistical analyses. In this thesis, I focus on the discovery and characterization of unusual systems that may provide some insight into the pasts of giant planets. In particular, I present detailed analyses of systems that have not been subject to the overwhelming tidal forces capable of erasing many traces of orbital evolution.<br>These include young systems that may still be actively undergoing planetary migration, giant planets with wider orbits than most hot Jupiters, and planets orbiting predominantly radiative stars, which exert weak tidal forces. Some of these newly discovered planets have spent their entire lifetimes near the stellar irradiation threshold at which giant planets become larger than expected, and are valuable in constraining planet inflation models. Some are also favorable targets for transit spectroscopy to study the atmospheres and chemical compositions of giant planets. Although these discoveries do not by themselves answer the questions posed above, they represent a necessary step toward that goal. I also develop methods and tools to further expand our collection of known giant planets using data from the K2 and TESS space missions.<br>After demonstrating the traditional human vetting approach to planet candidate identification, I present two convolutional neural networks, AstroNet-Triage and AstroNet-Vetting, capable of automatically performing triage and vetting on TESS light curves. These are the first machine learning-based classifiers to be trained and tested on real TESS data, and can rapidly and accurately eliminate false positives. These models not only allow humans to focus on the strongest planet candidates instead of false positives, but also identify candidates in an unbiased, homogeneous manner so as to facilitate planet occurrence rate calculations.<br>by Liang Yu.<br>Ph.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis: S.M., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Department of Physics, 2015.<br>Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.<br>Includes bibliographical references (pages 151-155).<br>Optical time-domain astronomy is in the midst of significant developments due to new instruments, data processing techniques, and space missions. The Kepler mission has identified thousands of exoplanet systems with the transit technique, allowing the first statistical analyses of the exoplanet population. The upcoming Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) mission will complement Kepler by identifying the brightest transiting exoplanet systems on the sky. These planets will offer the most insight into their radius, mass, and composition. At approximately the same time that TESS launches, the Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (aLIGO) will reach full operation, allowing the detection of gravitational waves from the mergers of compact objects out to hundreds of Mpc. Finding the electromagnetic counterparts to gravitational-wave sources, which may appear as kilonovae events, will give far greater insight into these mergers. While the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope will be a capable facility for following up triggers from gravitational-wave observatories at [lambda] < [mu]m, a wide-field infrared telescope operating at [lambda] > [mu]m would complement its capabilities. In this Thesis, I first describe a simulation of the TESS mission. The simulation predicts TESS should find hundreds of small transiting planets; those with the brightest host stars will be favorable for radial-velocity determinations of their masses and spectrophotometric measurements of their atmospheres. However, approximately half of the transit-like signals that TESS detects will turn out to be astrophysical false-positives arising from stellar eclipsing binaries. I will discuss how planets can be distinguished from eclipsing binaries using the TESS data and a ground-based follow-up campaign. Secondly, I describe the development of InGaAs detectors for near-IR imaging and photometry. These detectors are a less-expensive alternative to the HgCdTe detectors in current use, enabling wide-area IR surveys and IR observations with small telescopes to take place. Using camera hardware that I designed and constructed, I have tested InGaAs detectors as they have matured into an appropriate technology for near-IR time-domain astronomy. I will discuss their possible use for following up the TESS detections and gravitational-wave triggers.<br>by Peter William Sullivan.<br>S.M.

These patients struggle in establishing a border between themselves and significant others, which is itself fundamental to a deeper construal of their own existence. They are being treated within the Conversational Model of psychotherapy. The model is strongly oriented to techniques based on language and linguistic evidence and thus offers a linguistic site at which the study of the complex interaction of self and language can be made tractable.--Within a broad corpus of transcribed audio recordings of patient-therapist discourse, the principal focus of my linguistic study is the Conversational Model's claims about three conversational types-Scripts, Chronicles and Narratives. According to Meares, they present 'self as shifting state in the therapeutic conversation' (1998:876). The thesis investigates a selection of texts to represent these three conversational types, which I have chosen according to the claims in the Conversational Model literature. It tests the evidence of Meares' claims concerning the semantic characteristics which distinguish the three conversational types, as well as the linguistic evidence concerning the claims of change in the self in particular the presentation of 'self as shifting state' (1998:876). To achieve the levels of complexity required for this linguistic study of self, this thesis uses Systemic Functional Linguistics, which has a social, interactional orientation and a multidimensional and in particular, multistratal approach. The research demonstrates that therapeutically relevant aspects of the self can be productively described, across linguistic strata, in a consistent and reproducible way as a construction of meaning. The meanings which speakers offer in wordings can provide a reliable index for evaluating the emergence and maintenance of self. The Conversational Model's 'conversations' are confirmed as linguistically distinguishable text types and the research further shows that key terms of the Conversational Model can be defended theoretically on the basis of linguistic evidence, for example, the contrastive linearlnon-linear. Together the findings describe the complexity in the tale of self.--This investigation of the Conversational Model data also tests the claims of a functional linguistics at the same time that it evaluates the Conversational Model with respect to that model's consistent appeals to language as evidence. It establishes an opportunity to extend the dialogue between linguists and practitioners of the Conversational Model: the tools of the one group increase the reflective capabilities of the other.<br>Mode of access: World Wide Web.<br>xx, 385 p. ill

Full textAbstract:
Esta dissertação aborda a relação entre os conceitos de fronteira e de extinção na representação da tradição e da modernidade rural no romance de Thomas Hardy, Tess of the DUrbervilles, publicado em 1891. Em três partes, a pesquisa busca conhecer e indicar alguns limites e problemas de dois elementos da estética hardyana apresentados pela crítica como fundamentais: a idealização romântica do espaço natural e da personagem rústica por meio do uso de alegorias (bíblicas, mitológicas), apelo ao sentimento da natureza, recurso às fantasias e crenças locais , bem como o realismo empregado pelo autor na representação do cotidiano da vida e do trabalho rural que se conjuga com as prerrogativas da modernização, comuns de seu tempo. A pesquisa, então, chama a atenção para uma via estética singular nesse romance de Hardy, que parece bascular as fronteiras das duas medidas mencionadas e dá ao autor uma posição artística não exclusiva, mas bastante interessante e rica, que coopera para a compreensão das formas de representação e interpretação da realidade rural no fim do século XIX.<br>This dissertation approaches the relationship between the concepts of border and extinction on the representation of the traditions and the rural modernity in the romance written by Thomas Hardy, Tess of the DUrbervilles, published in 1891. Divided in three parts, the research seeks to know and point some limits and problems in two elements of Hardys aesthetics presented by the critic reviews as fundamentals: the romantic idealisation of the natural space and of the rustic personage through the usage of allegories (biblical and mythologys), appeal to the nature sentiment, recourse to fantasies and local behaves as well as realism employed by the author in the representation of the quotidian of life and rural work which marries with prerogatives of common modernisation at his time. The research, so, claims the attention to a singular aesthetic path in this Hardys romance that seems to tilt the boundaries of the two mentioned measures and gives the author an artistic position, non-exclusive, but interesting and rich enough to cooperate to the comprehension of representation models and interpretation of the rural reality at the end of the nineteenth century.

Full textAbstract:
The Master Thesis “Translation Strategies Used in Translating Tess Gerritsen’s Medical Thrillers: Paulina Kruglinskienė’s Translation of the Novel The Surgeon and Jonas Čeponis’ Translation of the Novel Life Support” analyses two novels written by Tess Gerritsen (The Surgeon and Life Support) and their Lithuanian translations by Paulina Kruglinskienė and Jonas Čeponis. The following hypothesis was raised: translation by using an equivalent item and low localization strategy are the most popular and useful translation strategies in translating medical terminology. The aim of this paper is to find out what translation strategies are the most popular while translating medical terminology in Paulina Kruglinskienė’s and Jonas Čeponis’ translations of Tess Gerritsen’s medical thrillers. These particular translators were chosen for this analysis due to the following reasons: they are the main translators of Tess Gerritsen’s novels into the Lithuanian language (both have transated six novels each), what is more, they both have medical background as well as long experience in translation. The purpose of this paper is to find out whether Paulina Kruglinskienė and Jonas Čeponis use similar translation strategies while translating medical terms into the Lithuanian language and how these strategies influence the quality of translation.
The theoretical part analyses various aspects related with the translation of Tess Gerritsen’s medical thrillers: genre theory, features of thriller...

Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited.<br>The United States Navy uses a number of different systems to predict underwater acoustic transmission loss for operational forces. Historically, these systems have used different acoustic models and supporting databases, resulting in significantly different predictions. Major efforts to
bring all acoustic models and databases under configuration control in the Oceanographic and Atmospheric Master Library (OAML) have reduced, but not eliminated, differences in acoustic predictions. Comparisons of 1600 transmission loss runs from the AntiSubmarine Warfare Tactical Decision
Aid (ASWTDA) and the Tactical Environmental Support System (TESS) were made in the Mediterranean and Sea of Japan for the months of January and July. All inputs to the acoustic models were provided by the respective system databases. Significant differences between ASWTDA and TESS in the areas investigated are evident in regions of complex bathymetry, and these differences become more acute with higher freuency.

Full textAbstract:
Shoulder arthroplasty surgery has shown remarkable progress during the last few decades. A number of factors affect postoperative range of motion, pain and prosthetic durability. Among these factors, the length of the lever arm and joint stability is the ones that can be altered by the selected prosthetic component. It is uncertain how much of the normal anatomy needs to be re-established. Stemless prostheses with total reliance on metaphyseal fixation were introduced in France in 2004 (TESS, Zimmer Biomet). The goals were to avoid stem-related complications. Stemless implants have other potential benefits, including the ability to restore shoulder anatomy. Study I: This is a prospective cohort study of 49 patients with one of two versions of the TESS prosthesis (anatomical or reverse) with clinical and radiological follow-up ranging from 9–24 months. The TESS prosthesis showed short-term results that were comparable with other shoulder prosthetic systems. Study II: This is a prospective comparative non-randomised study of 37 patients (40 shoulders) who underwent TESS reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) with a follow-up ranging from 15–66 months. We found a significant improvement in functional outcome and reduction of pain in both stemmed and stemless groups. Glenoid overhang influenced the occurrence of scapular notching (SN). Study III: This is a radiological study showing that CT had a good reliability and reproducibility in estimating LHO. Study IV: This is a prospective radiological study of 69 patients (70 shoulders) with primary osteoarthritis (OA) who had undergone stemless total anatomical shoulder arthroplasty (TSA). This study showed that stemless anatomical TSA could be useful in restoring shoulder anatomy. Study V: This is a prospective study of 44 patients with OA who had undergone stemless anatomical TSA with a clinical and radiological follow up ranging from 12 – 50 months. Our study showed that LHO reconstruction close to the anatomy of a healthy contralateral shoulder improved shoulder function. Stemless anatomical TSA help to restore LHO. Increasing LHO may have a negative effect on shoulder function at three months but had no effect at 12 months. The main conclusions of this thesis are: 1. TSA (anatomic and reverse) using stemless humeral components is reliable if bone quality is adequate. The complication rate is comparable with other shoulder prosthetic systems. 2. Glenoid overhang decreased complications in RSA. 3. LHO measurement on AP radiographs is less reliable and underestimates the distance when compared with CT. 4. Stemless TSA could be of help in reconstructing shoulder anatomy. 5. Shoulder reconstruction close to the anatomy of a healthy contralateral shoulder improves shoulder function.<br>Axelprotes kirurgi har visat avsevärd utveckling under de senaste decennierna. Ett antal faktorer påverkar postoperativt rörelseomfång, smärta och proteshållbarhet. Bland dessa faktorer utgör längden av hävarmen och ledstabilitet de faktorer som kan ändras genom val av proteskomponent. Det är osäkert om den normala anatomin måste återupprättas. Oskaftad protes med eliminering av humerusstamm och tillit till metafysär fixering introducerades i Frankrike år 2004 (TESS, Zimmer Biomet). Målen var att undvika stam relaterade komplikationer. Oskaftat implantat har andra potentiella fördelar, inklusive möjligheten att återställa axelnsanatomi. Syftet med denna avhandling var: (1) Att undersök radiologisk stabilitet av oskaftade axelproteser. (2) Att studera effekten av protes placering vid omvänd axelartroplastik både radiologiska och kliniskt utfall. (3) Att studera tillförlitlighet av mätningen av den laterala humeral offset (LHO), avståndet mellan processus coracoideus till laterala kanten av tuberkulum majus, med användning av CT eller röntgen. (4) Att studera oskaftad axelprotes förmåga att återställa axelnsanatomi. (5) Att studera den kliniska betydelsen av LHO återställning i för det funktionella resultatet efter axelartroplastik. Studie I: Detta är en prospektiv kohortstudie av 49 patienter med en av de två versionerna av TESS (anatomisk eller omvänd) med klinisk och radiologisk uppföljning från 9-24 månader. TESS protes visade lovande resultat på kort sikt med komplikationer som var jämförbar med andra axelprotessystem. Studie II: Detta är en prospektiv jämförande icke-randomiserad studie av 37 patienter (40 skuldror) som opererades med TESS omvänd axelartroplastik med en uppföljning från 15-66 månader. Vi fann en signifikant förbättring av funktion och minskning av smärta i både skaftad och oskaftad grupper. Glenoid overhang bedöms påverka risken för scapular notching (SN). Studie III: Detta är en radiologisk studie som visade att CT hade god tillförlitlighet och reproducerbarhet att mäta LHO. Studie IV: Detta är en prospektiv radiologisk studie av 69 patienter (70 skuldror) med primär artros som hade genomgått oskaftad total anatomisk axelprotes. Denna studie visade att oskaftad axelprotes kan vara till hjälp att återställa axelnsanatomi. Studie V: Detta är en prospektiv studie av 44 patienter med unilateral primär artros som hade genomgått oskaftad total axelprotes med en klinisk och radiologisk uppföljning från 12 - 50 månader. Vår studie visade att LHO rekonstruktion till den friska axeln förbättrar axelfunktion. Oskaftat implantat kan vara av hjälp till att återställa LHO. Ökad LHO kan ha en negativ effekt på axelnsfunktion vid tre månader, men denna effekt påvisade ej vid 12 månader. De viktigaste slutsatserna i denna avhandling är: 1. Oskaftad total axel artroplastik (anatomisk och omvänd) är tillförlitlig om benkvalitén är god med komplikationer som var jämförbar med andra axelprotessystem. 2. Glenoid overhang minskar komplikationer vid omvänd axelartroplastik. 3. LHO mätningen på röntgen är mindre tillförlitlig och underskattar avståndet jämfört med CT. 4. Oskaftad axelprotes skulle kunna vara till hjälp för att rekonstruera axelnsanatomi. 5. Axel rekonstruktion inom anatomi till att efterlikna anatomi på den friska kontralaterala axeln förbättrar axelfunktion.

碩士<br>立德管理學院<br>應用英語研究所<br>94<br>Abstract
The thesis is based on the concept of determinism to explore the forces that contribute to the heroine’s death in Thomas Hardy’s Tess of the D’Urbervilles. The novel has often been read as a tragedy of fate. The heroine, Tess is the victim of this fate and a number of crucial coincidences occur which create difficulties for her and which eventually lead to her death.
Tragic fate is the central force leading to the heroine’s death; however, Tess’ death can not be simply explained by fate; this becomes clear if we investigate the incidents which happen to the heroine. Other forces pervade this novel, namely social forces around Tess, which also are instrumental in the outcome. With this in mind, my thesis intends to explore these other forces that contribute to the heroine’s death. As we shall see, these forces contributing to the heroine’s death can also be explained through the concept of determinism.
The thesis is divided into three chapters. In chapter one, the first sort of determinism is connected to traditional views that attributes the heroine’s death to fate. In chapter two, I treat the determinism connected to social forces which posits that the heroine’s death is brought about by a moral determinism. Finally, in chapter three, the last form of determinism, also connected to social forces, views the heroine’s death as a function of economic forces.
In conclusion, these forms of determinism can also be seen as contributions to Tess’ death. By moving from the individual’s fate to social forces, the scope of my thesis becomes progressively more inclusive. People can not control and foresee the accidents caused by fate, but in society, there are lots of socially-based rules create rigid thinking among people, and also cause pain and oppression. The harm of these social forces is more inclusive than the determinism centered in the fate of the individual human being alone.

碩士<br>國立高雄師範大學<br>英語學系<br>87<br>Abstract:
Hardy grappled intellectually with modern situation, and incorporated his observations of Victorian society into his works of art. In his art, he refered to a modernist theme and treated it with great ambiguity. The modernist theme indicates the alienation of intelligent and sensitive individuals from everyday life and society. For modernists, it was their intellectual honesty that forced them to live without a sense of Providence. The ache of modernism, so to speak, is the ache of modern dislocation of intellectual radicalism. Above all, Hardy bodied forth an imperative that to commit oneself to life on the premise of a freer and more personal morality is to accept the ache of modern dislocation, without the sustaining optimism of older rationalists and without dangerous anodynes of a compromising reconceived piety and morality distilled from the discredited code of mysticism.
The main concern of the thesis is to convey the inconsistencies of feelings and thoughts of Hardy and his protagonists. They all lived in a transitional age when the immense system of institutions, established dogmas, customs, and rules, derived from past times, was incompatible with modern needs, the sense of want of correspondence between the forms of modern Europe and its spirit, between the wine of the eighteenth and the nineteenth centuries. Regarding it, Hardy embodied ‘the ache of modernism’ in his most impressive novel, Tess of the d’Urbervilles, to shed light on his insight that all intellectual invention might eventually become new wine in old bottles. Therefore, through his complex and ambivalent attitudes toward his intellectual figures, he conveyed a fear, for he had no alternative for Arnold’s idealist formulations of what the perfected life might be. Apropos, Hardy always said that he was not trying to argue anything in his novels, but to put down his impressions of life. In this respect, ‘the ache of modernism’ which Angel Clare detects in Tess Durbeyfield also refers to the intermediate generation’s nameless fear of life, or at least of the fierce and the cruel in life.
This thesis is divided into five chapters. Chapter One is the introduction, in which the causality of Hardy’s agnostic temperament is shown. His ambivalent feelings toward the great changes of the age are detected in his later novels and are labeled as ‘the ache of modernism’ in Tess of the d’Urbervilles. Chapter Two is a brief introduction to the historical background of Victorian society after the 1870s so as to illustrate Hardy’s modernist temperament in representing the contradictory consciousness of an intermediate class. Chapter Three analyzes the causality of ‘the ache of modernism’ within Hardy’s heroes and heroines. Chapter Four is devoted to scrutinizing how the author/narrator leads us to experience both his sense of uncertainty and discontinuity in the transitional age and his idea of artistic reconciliation through death. Chapter Five comes to a conclusion. Due to Hardy’s outstanding artistic gift, modern man’s ambivalent sentiment and the in-between consciousness are well projected into both his heroes and heroines in the novel. All in all, by experiencing the conflicts within Hardy’s later novels and his men and women, we readers of the late twentieth century can readily sympathize with them for their spiritual ache, thereby enabling us to rethink of the postmodern situation.

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>國立臺灣科技大學<br>應用外語系<br>105<br>In the field of literary translation, the issues of equivalence of the translated texts toward the original work have been argued upon through decades by different scholars. Should the translated texts be highly accordant with the original ones? To which extent and aspect of the original works should the translated texts keep equivalent? For these questions, there are no certain answers till now. Therefore, inspired by House’s description of “equal value” in translation, the researcher carries out this study, aiming at exploring the real definition of “equal value” in literary translation, as well as the paramount principle on translating literature.
Tess of the D’Urbervilles is one of the most representative novels written by Thomas Hardy, which chronicles the tragic history of the female protagonist Tess. The story is set against the backdrop of Victorian England when females suffer great discrimination and patriarchal indictment. Tess’s downfall reflects the female powerlessness in face of male persecution. Through the depiction of the injustice done to Tess, Hardy aims to criticize the predominant ideologies of the late 1800s’s Britain such as rigid religious dogma and ethics, worship and superstition of the aristocratic lineage, double standard in judging male and female behavior, etc. In 1895, this novel enjoyed great popularity throughout the whole Europe with its German, French, Russian, and Italian versions. It was also translated into Chinese by many scholars. However, given the cultural differences and insufficient knowledge of Victorian England, the ordinary reader encounters huge difficulty in appreciating the beauty and philosophy of Thomas Hardy. The researcher is keenly aware of such insufficiency and decides to make an in-depth exploration and analysis of the existing Chinese translations of the novel. Instructed by Nida’s dynamic equivalence, Newmark’s communicative translation, Koller’s pragmatic translation, and Liu Miqing’s style theory on translation, the researcher chooses three Chinese versions, and analyzes translation strategies and methods. Through the comparative study of the Chinese translations, the researcher locates the essential passages and elaborates on the deeper meaning beneath and investigates whether the Chinese translations accurately convey the messages and themes Hardy aims to capture. With a solid analysis of the upsides and downsides of the Chinese translations, the researcher hopes to make contributions to the understanding of Hardy's pioneering vision and critique of the Victorian England, facilitating the general readers’ understanding of the essential ideas in Tess of the D’Urbervilles.

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>國立中正大學<br>外國語文學系<br>84<br>The purpose of this thesis is to discuss how Tess, the heroine
in Thomas Hardy's Tess of the D'Urbervilless, expresses her
subjectivity under the suppression of maless, the condemnation
of social conventions and in her being identified with mythicl,
Biblical and ritual archetypes. The first chapter discusses the
manifestation of Tess's subjectivity in her interaction with
Alec and Angel from the perspective of feminism. The second
chapter explores Tess's subjectivity in terms of her
interaction with the society. Being stereotyped as a fallen
woman, Tess suffers the prejudice of social conventions and the
damnation of Christian dogmas. The third chapter discusses Tess'
s subjectivity in her being identified with mythical, Biblical
and ritual archetypes. Tess's being raped by Alec is
correlative with Persephone's being kidnapped by Hades to the
underworld. Because of this incident, Tess transforms from an
innocent girl to a mature woman. Furthermore, Tess becomes a
Demeter woman because she bears an illegitimate child--Sorrow.
Then, in Talbothays, Tess is regarded as the representative of
of Eve. There, Tess seems to rehabilitate her virginity.
Afterwards, like Artemis, who asserts her selfhood resolutely,
Tess kills Alec in order to regain Angel's love and to
dissociate herself from Alec's influences. At last, being
caught in Stonehenge, an altar of the sun god, Tess is like a
surrogate victim, who is sacrificed for the sake of removing
vicious cycles out of a community.

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>國立政治大學<br>西洋語文研究所<br>79<br>This thesis is an exercise in looking backwards to the genre of Victorian
long fiction with a studied perusal on Thomas Hardy's two major novels--
Far from the Madding Crowd(1874),and Tess of the d'Urbervilles(1891).FMC
is a novel of sheer observation narrated by a "close observer"whose accur-
ate eye sets the final authority.Looking from the vast,unintelligible uni-
verse,we are all diminished to the tiny frames of human beings that live
out their intense lives in the ancient Wessex.Narrator,character,and read-
er are alike:all are blended in a mutual dependence on the eye that sees.
Alertness and analysis are attenuated and disarmed.This feeble ploy rarely
appears in Tess,where the constitutive aspects of looking at Tess is an
interplay among the narrator's gaze of strong sympathy and excessive anxi-
ety,the character's shifting,often partial modes of looking,and the reade-
r's aborted following of the heroine,who is finally de-possessed from rea-
derly attention.An awareness of the singularity of the two tale-tellers's
preoccupation explains various paaarent shortoomings of the two novels.An
ability to see this way derives as much from the reoognition of one's own
identity as a fellow to the voice being heard as it does from isolating t-
he peculiar characteristics of the voice itself.In the act of attending to
a voice other than our own,we accept our common humanity.The moment we ag-
ree to listen,to give that voice authority,we implicate ourselves.

Full textAbstract:
The dissertation is based on Hardy's representation of Victorian working-class women's experience, exemplified by the heroine of Tess of the D'Urbervilles (1891), in the radically gendered nineteenth-century society. Physical mobility as metaphor and metonymy in the novel stands for the transgression and subversion of patriarchal influence and is revealed as having a complex significance in relation to gender distinction. Hardy subverts Victorian norms of femininity through Tess's movements from one physical space to another in her struggle for freedom and autonomy. However, Hardy's inability to transcend completely the conventions of his society is apparent in the way Tess is literally destroyed in her quest for autonomy, respect and contentment. A study of the novel reveals Tess as a victim of the wearing and destructive impact of social and economic realities that Hardy does not adequately questioned. Finally, the novel follows the conventional realist pattern where the transgressive heroine is punished in the end.<br>English Studies<br>M.A. (English)

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>國立成功大學<br>外國語文學系碩博士班<br>100<br>Historians have researched on the social positions of women in the Victorian era. Many novelists from that time also portray the society’s unfair treatment of women in their works. Thomas Hardy, for example, delineates the relationship between the two sexes, which reflects women’s inferior status to men, for his male characters constantly impose conventional standards upon the female characters. Nevertheless, in Tess of the d’Urbervilles, Hardy also presents a supportive relationship among women through depicting the heroine’s interactions with her female co-workers. The support network prompts them to provide Tess with spiritual consolation. The rapport among these women is essentially helpful for Tess to go through her miserable experiences, especially after Angel abandons her. Therefore, this thesis aims to investigate the theme of female bonding in Hardy’s Tess of the d’Urbervilles. I will approach this issue by adopting Sharon Marcus’s perspective of the correlation between female friendship and marriage, Laurie Buchanan’s view of the heroine’s search for identity, Tess Cosslett’s concept of the “assimilation in traditional womanly roles,” and Judith Bryant Wittenberg’s idea about women’s mutual support. This thesis posits that through depicting female bonding in Tess of the d’Urbervilles, Hardy conveys his sympathy for women’s mistreatment in his society. In addition, the reconciliation between Tess and Angel, at the close of the novel, can be viewed as a happy ending because with Angel’s love and his understanding, Tess eventually finds her peace of mind. But such a happy ending may not be possible without the female bonding between Tess and her co-workers, which prompts the heroine to write to her husband, thus bringing his change of heart and spiritual growth.

碩士<br>國立中山大學<br>外國語文學系研究所<br>88<br>In 19th-century Britain, women as compared with men, did not have equal professional and educational opportunities; therefore, they were often outside the center of politics and the economy, and were regarded as being subordinate in the household. This Woman Question had been fervently discussed in the press since the 1880s. And it was Ouida who “christened” the “New Woman” for this new class of women in 1894 from Sarah Grand’s essay “The New Aspect of the Woman Question.” The “New Woman” was abhorred by traditional British society and condemned as a temptress who, so it observed, tended to satisfy her own sexual needs, regardless of social mores and household responsibilities. In contrast to “the good angel in the house” or “the proper lady,” the New Woman was accused of neglecting her female virtues of a selfless housewife, wife, mother, and daughter. Traditionally, women were economically dependent, and that was the reason why the grace of a Victorian proper lady lay in her submission to social morality, but not in her assertion of individualism. Since she was only considered part of the family instead of herself, it was important for a woman to be a virgin before marriage in order to guarantee her chastity and loyalty to her husband. According to Mona Caird, the ideal of virginity was worshipped in order to reinforce the idea that women’s virginity belonged to their husbands-to-be instead of to themselves. This ideology satisfied the male possessive attitudes toward their wives. In her essay, “Marriage,” Caird related virginity to marriage as a historically situated institution, which was temporary and challengeable. So once the gender barrier between the male master and the female housekeeper was questioned and even dismissed, women could claim the same freedom of choice, both of their life and of their bodies. With the intensification of capitalism and the individual economic unit, women seemed to represent men’s property. It was in this skewed relationship between the two sexes that the feminine ideal was erected and institutionalized in order to maintain masculine domination. From a man’s point of view, a modest woman, or a proper lady, should repress her sexual desire so that she would seem to have no desire for men at all. The basic reason for women to suppress their desire was because the Victorians regarded human desire as solely masculine; in other words, they saw women as the objects of desire, not the agents from which the desire originated. Women’s subordinate position constrained their individualism. In this way, women became selfless and functional.
The loss of virginity out of wedlock was the primary cause of a woman’s tragedy. This happened to two of Hardy’s “New Woman” heroines, Tess d’Urbervilles and Sue Bridehead. The two heroines were chosen to represent the New Women because both of them, to a large extent, acted against the decorum of a traditional proper lady. Tess of the d’Urbervilles dealt with the relationship between men and women and the problems in conventional marriage. Presenting the emancipation of the heroine Sue, Jude the Obscure dealt with the inequality women suffered in marriage and the possible solution of “free union” (couples living together out of wedlock) as an alternative to conventional marriage. “Free union,” as this novel suggested, was a means of accommodating sexual relations with fairness to both sexes and with a more permanent relationship than traditional marriage. Hence Tess and Jude the Obscure were designated as the New Woman novels whose protagonists--Tess and Sue--illustrated the predicament encountered by the New Woman on her way to emancipation.
In order to penetrate into the male psychology toward virginity in the two novels, I will delineate the different attitudes toward female virginity through the seventeenth to the nineteenth century in England to provide a historical perspective. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries the legal status of women remained family-oriented, which was based on the precepts of Roman law. The Puritans deplored adultery and further stressed the importance of virginity. Compared with the Puritans, the Evangelicals further idealized female nature as morally more self-restrained than men’s. On a larger social scale, the religious ideals of the Evangelicals helped reinforce the social hierarchy. Because if the poor and women embraced those ideals largely to gain spiritual salvation, their governors could thereby control their labor and productivity by means of propagandizing morality. In the Victorian society, women tended to obey the rigid law and conformed to their narrowly defined domestic roles. To this dogma much had been contributed by the Puritans and the Evangelicals, from whose doctrines the ideal of a dutiful wife arose. The entire social machinery helped promote this censorship on female sexuality and individualism, while consolidating male authority simultaneously. Women, realizing that they could hardly alter the male-centered society, considered the best policy as submission and conformity to the traditional values so as to gain social acknowledgement.
Hardy’s presentation of Tess aroused severe criticism, because he refused to condemn her for her misbehavior. Instead of making Tess a completely helpless victim, Hardy endowed her with her own sense of strength to protect herself against the misfortunes. Sue practiced the New Woman ideal of “free union,” and she herself was a well-learned student of philosophy. Sue felt herself doomed as a fallen woman, with the loss of all her extra-marital children murdered by the legitimate child of her lover. That was the reason why she considered it a compromise with the society to return to her legal husband. New Woman heroines became the scapegoats of the social machinery, in which patriarchal value was the center and women’s rights were cast aside. Hardy reflected this feminist issue on the two different New Woman heroines, especially their relationship with the men around them.
Readers might feel ambivalent toward both Tess and Sue, who were far from evil but were degraded. Finally, both of them were executed, Tess physically while Sue mentally. Tess paid her price for love and justice, but Sue gave up love and justice for shelter.
In the thesis, I will, first of all, discuss the differences between the so-called New Woman and the proper lady in the context of Hardy’s two novels, Tess and Jude. I will discuss Tess’ and Sue’s desires, centering on their suppressed sexuality. In the first chapter, “’New Women’ in the Victorian Era,” while examining the function of a proper lady, I will also delineate the origin and exhibit the traits of the so-called New Woman. In the second chapter, “Tess’ Subjectivity and Revenge,” I shall re-evaluate Tess’ tragedy by focusing on her sense of responsibility and her New Woman subjectivity. In addition, Tess’ murder of Alec will be interpreted as a New Woman’s revenge on male chauvinists. In the third chapter, “Sue’s Experiments of ‘Free Union’ and the Final Defeat,” I will argue that Sue epitomizes a typical New Woman in her advocacy of “free union” and her subsequent defeat by traditional society. In the conclusion, in addition to my personal feedback on the New Woman issue, I will make comparison between Tess and Sue as the unconventional New Woman heroines and discuss Hardy’s intention in portraying the two heroines the way they are.

Full textAbstract:
The myth of the disobedient woman, along with patriarchal myths of virginity, provide writers with what appears to be a natural alliance between womanhood and fiction. This alliance, not natural but artificial, is between man and fiction using woman's virginally "empty" form as a metaphorical space in which the writer creates himself and his stories.
In The Portrait of a Lady, Tess of the D'Urbervilles, The Great Gatsby, The Sun Also Rises, The Sound and the Fury and The French Lieutenant's Woman male novelists use disobedient women to tell surface narratives which appear to be about their female heroes but which are actually about the needs, desires and fears of the male writers, narrators, characters. The story of the woman hero, when it exists, lies buried in the margins of the male stories, moving in secret contradiction below the surface reflection of the male story.
The surface narrative of The Portrait is built on a series of misunderstandings of Isabel's ideas and intentions. She is judged based on these misunderstandings rather than on what she herself achieves. Similarly, Hardy's surface narrative obscures the fact that Tess is a fierce woman whose individuality leads to her end on the gallows.
Daisy provides the perfectly silent, compliant form for tales told by Nick, Gatsby, and Fitzgerald. While Brett tells the story that Hemingway gives her to tell, she also maintains great individual power.
Caddy is usually seen as the means to a fuller understanding of her brothers, or, more recently, as a blank mirror reflecting male desire. Though she is used in both these ways inside the novel she is also a character with a strong voice and a story that I believe Faulkner meant us to hear. Sarah, often viewed as a feminist, actually has no story nor voice. Fowles's story is of man's fear of woman s power to "make" man in her image.
These authors write fantasies of control that they cannot maintain. Depending on the author, what emerges is either a strong woman who tells her own story or the secret story of the writer.

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>國立成功大學<br>外國語文學系<br>104<br>This thesis explores the theme of sympathy in George Eliot’s Adam Bede and Thomas Hardy’s Tess of the D’Urbervilles. It investigates the challenges to traditional religion in the nineteenth century brought about by the new developments in science, such as evolutionary theories and archeological discoveries, and other rationalist thinking to highlight the concept of sympathy as the two novelists’ call for a return to the humanistic values of religion. The novelists’ concerns about the limitationsof traditional religion are manifested in their depiction of ineffectual or even impotent religious figures. Nevertheless, the two authors also portray in a subtle way the admirable human attributes of these representatives of religion.
In reaction to the religious crisis of their time, Eliot and Hardy, both influenced by positivist thoughts, promote the concept of sympathy as a remedy to the inadequacy of religion. So they highlight how the return to the humanistic values of religion can help amend the difficult situation. In Adam Bede, through the interactions between the religious leaders and Adam, Eliot traces the titular character’s development of sympathy. Similarly, in Tess of the D’Urbervilles, Hardy depicts Angel’s improvement through his development of a sympathetic understanding. In the case of Adam, thanks to the support and companionship of Rector Irwine, he is spiritually regenerated from the suffering experiences resulting from Hetty’s love affair with Arthur. Eventually, Adam is able to forgive both Hetty and Arthur. As for Angel, his gradual acquisition of a sympathetic understanding helps him to accept Tess despite her imperfection. To conclude, Eliot and Hardy consider sympathy, with which people can be more tolerant, understanding and respectful, as a possible solution to the religious problems of their time.

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>國立成功大學<br>外國語文學系碩博士班<br>90<br>Realism and naturalism dominate the nineteenth and the early twentieth centuries literature, and the works of Thomas Hardy (1840~1928) and Theodore Dreiser (1871~1945) reflect these trends. In general, critics agree about the similarities in technique that realism and naturalism share while also agreeing that realism and naturalism are significantly different from each other. Interestingly, Hardy’s Tess of the D’Urbervilles and Dreiser’s Sister Carrie both focus on the heroines’ experience and adventure, and both works are subjects of controversy.
Hardy is considered one of the greatest novelists in English literature. His work resembles that of earlier Victorian novelists in technique, while in subject matter it daringly violated literary traditions of the age. Basically, Tess of the D’Urbervilles is a powerful exploration of the conflict between Victorian social convention and the forces of human love and sexuality. On the other hand, Dreiser is admired as one of the principal American exponents of literary Naturalism. In his novels, Dreiser sought to present a detailed and realistic portrait of contemporary American life. Sister Carrie was unique in American fiction because it departed sharply from the gentility and timidity that characterized much realistic fiction during the nineteenth century.
This thesis intends to explore the similarities and differences between these two novels in terms of characteristics of realism and naturalism. We can see both authors share something similar in technique while at the same time they view such issues as love, society, man, nature, determinism, and evolutionary conception with different viewpoints. Therefore, we can recognize their similarities, but must distinguish significant differences. Finally, this thesis is divided into five chapters. Chapter I is the introduction of the following chapter II, III, IV, and the first half part of Chapter V. Chapter II discusses the similarities in technique between these two novels. In Chapter III and Chapter IV, I focus on Hardy’s and Dreiser’s different evolutionary viewpoints that are explored in these two novels. The first half of Chapter V discusses the differences emerging from the same issues in both novels, and the other half is the conclusion to wrap this thesis up.
