Growing Pains: The Transformative Journey From A Nascent To A Formal Not-For-Profit Venture, Avery C. Edenfield, Fredrik O. Andersson
Growing Pains: The Transformative Journey From A Nascent To A Formal Not-For-Profit Venture, Avery C. Edenfield, Fredrik O. Andersson
English Faculty Publications
This article examines how a social venture transitions from nascent to formal status and argues that the transformation of the organization set in motion by establishing formal boundaries is a deeply profound one. Drawing from the nonprofit and social entrepreneurship literature on what prompts and energizes individuals to initiate new not-for-profit ventures, and linking it to a notion of revolutionary crisis as organizations emerge and develop, we seek to illuminate and explore the tension, and its consequences, between nonprofit entrepreneurs and the organization they create as the new venture transitions from nascent to formal. We do this by presenting the …

Afterparty, Patrick M. Werle
Afterparty, Patrick M. Werle
Creative Writing Programs
Afterparty is built on the question, “Can one overcome the past?”...I think. While the work flows on a loose timeline, I do not intend the manuscript to be a story. As the poems drift in and out of time periods; childhood, adolescence, fatherhood, I hope that this is also a collection that can be opened in the middle or paged through and still be successful. Of course, as the artist, I would love for people to take the journey beginning to end. And I also believe that poetry collections should be able to have a reader jump in at any …
Tropes Trump Politics, Aaron Berkowitz
Tropes Trump Politics, Aaron Berkowitz
Capstones
This critical essay examines the use of tropes and themes in modern comic books and how they are used to protest President Donald Trump’s policies, actions and supporters. It begins with a detailed history of tropes used in comic books and how some of the first superhero comic book writers created these tropes in order to protest the social injustices of their times. It shifts to the first trope, the “compromised hero” where a hero is turned evil. It is used in “Secret Empire,” a book where Captain America turns evil and takes over the presidency. His rise to power …
Digital Resources For Scottish Neo-Latin Literature, Ralph Mclean
Digital Resources For Scottish Neo-Latin Literature, Ralph Mclean
Studies in Scottish Literature
Provides an annotated guide to the Scottish neo-Latin texts and translations now available in two major digital projects, the Philological Museum (University of Birmingham) and Bridging the Continental Divide (University of Glasgow), with briefer notes on other related print and digital resources, commenting on the importance of fully-annotated editorial and translation projects now fewer students and researchers can tackle such texts in the original Latin.
Thomas Carlyle, Sartor Resartus (1834), Kathryn Chittick
Thomas Carlyle, Sartor Resartus (1834), Kathryn Chittick
Studies in Scottish Literature
Argues that Thomas Carlyle's fictional autobiography from the 1830s deserves recognition as one of the most experimental of Scottish novels and suggests some ways in which it anticipates a fictive self-consciousness often thought of as post-modern.
Matthew Fitt, But N Ben A-Go-Go (2000), Caroline Mccracken-Flesher
Matthew Fitt, But N Ben A-Go-Go (2000), Caroline Mccracken-Flesher
Studies in Scottish Literature
Puts forward Fitt's "challenging, haunting novel," "a dystopian, coming of age, scientific-detective-police procedural-medical romance," written in "lyrical/acerbic Scots," as "thrawn, readable, un-put-down-able," and a "darkly plotted challenge to family dynamics."
Tom Scott As Religious Poet: 'The Paschal Candill' In Context, Richie Mccaffery
Tom Scott As Religious Poet: 'The Paschal Candill' In Context, Richie Mccaffery
Studies in Scottish Literature
Discusses the religious beliefs and writings of the Scottish poet Tom Scott (1918-1995), both as a continuing concern and during a period of explicitly Catholic belief in the 1950, examining in detail his Catholic poem 'The Paschal Candill' in relation to his much more widely-recognized political comments.
Fresh Air: Michel Faber, Under The Skin (2000) With A Comment On Trainspotting, Tony Jarrells
Fresh Air: Michel Faber, Under The Skin (2000) With A Comment On Trainspotting, Tony Jarrells
Studies in Scottish Literature
Comparing Faber's treatment of the Scottish Highlands (his only novel set in Scotland) with a Highland incident in Welsh's Trainspotting, arguing that in Faber the Highlands are "not merely some representation of a romanticized past," but also "represent this present moment,... marked by the class conflicts and near political hopelessness" seen in Welsh, but also "a strong sense of beauty and an appreciation for the environment."
Jackie Kay, Trumpet (1998), Marie Hologa
Jackie Kay, Trumpet (1998), Marie Hologa
Studies in Scottish Literature
Argues that Kay's acclaimed novel about a celebrated black jazz trumpeter, who is transgender, presents "an alternative construction of masculinity to the stereotypical Scottish 'hard man' of tartan noir, " dealing with "questions of identity that go beyond Scottishness," and unmasking "the emptiness of normative categories like gender, sexuality, ‘race’ and ethnic origins in a postmodern ... society."

Robin Jenkins, The Thistle And The Grail (1954) With A Comment On Sunset Song, David E. Latane
Robin Jenkins, The Thistle And The Grail (1954) With A Comment On Sunset Song, David E. Latane
Studies in Scottish Literature
Recommends Robin Jenkins's story of a Scottish football (soccer) team, Drumsagart Thistle, and its quest to win the Scottish Junior Cup, as "a marvelous compendium of Roy of the Rovers improbabilities, Our Town ethnography, critiques of gender relations, subtle and broad satire, and laugh outloud comedy."
Writing On The Margins: Luke Sutherland, Venus As A Boy (2004), Manfred Malzahn
Writing On The Margins: Luke Sutherland, Venus As A Boy (2004), Manfred Malzahn
Studies in Scottish Literature
Recommends Sutherland's "epiphanic" short novel, which received rave reviews on publication, as a novel that should have been "an almost mandatory selection" for the BBC poll ballot, suggesting that it was excluded, not only because of length, explicit language, and violence, but because its island setting and depiction of "the fuzzy margins of sexual and racial identity" made it wrongly seem peripheral to the Scottish "mainland and mainstream."
The Scotch Bard And 'The Planting Line': New Documents On Burns And Jamaica, Clark Mcginn
The Scotch Bard And 'The Planting Line': New Documents On Burns And Jamaica, Clark Mcginn
Studies in Scottish Literature
Based on newly-identified documents, reexamines Burns's plan in 1786 to emigrate to Jamaica to take a job on a Scottish-owned slave plantation, and the timing and circumstances of his eventual decision to stay in Scotland, concluding that Burns "kept his options open to the last moment," and that the new documents might mean Burns "sought to prosper from chattel slavery," and "only dropped the opportunity because a better offer came along, not because of any moral scruples."
'Not In Egerer'? (Some Of) What We Still Don't Know About Burns Bibliography, Patrick Scott
'Not In Egerer'? (Some Of) What We Still Don't Know About Burns Bibliography, Patrick Scott
Studies in Scottish Literature
Briefly reviews developments in Burns bibliography since J.W. Egerer's Bibliography of Robert Burns (1964), examines the kinds of material that Egerer aimed to include and exclude, and presents a series of brief case-studies illustrating the desirability of additional research, especially on early publication in non-book formats, for obtaining a fuller picture of Burns's textual history and readership.

Maine Literature 101: A Course For High School Seniors, Courtney Hawkes
Maine Literature 101: A Course For High School Seniors, Courtney Hawkes
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
In various schools across the state of Maine are teachers devoting their classroom time to exploring the rich history of Maine. At the high school level, many schools now offer at least an elective course in “Maine Studies” and Maine state standards require that local history is covered to a certain extent in high school history. Missing from these courses, however, is a study of Maine’s literature. Literature puts a realistic face to the events of history in a way that helps students see through the eyes of the people from that time period. Literature reveals internal emotions and conflicts …

Venturing A Little Further: Margaret Elphinstone, The Sea Road (2000), Matthew Wickman
Venturing A Little Further: Margaret Elphinstone, The Sea Road (2000), Matthew Wickman
Studies in Scottish Literature
Proposes that Margaret Elphinstone’s historical novel about Gudrid of Iceland, an eleventh-century female explorer of Greenland and North America, is "a novel for many seasons: the eleventh century, the early and late twentieth, and far into the twenty-first," judging it "one of the great Scottish novels about the unknown," and "perhaps the nation’s greatest contribution to the modern zeitgeist."
Eric Linklater, Private Angelo (1946), Gill Plain
Eric Linklater, Private Angelo (1946), Gill Plain
Studies in Scottish Literature
Recommends Linklater's novel about World War II in Italy as "a book that cherishes national difference while utterly condemning nationalism," "as much a book for 2017 as it was for 1946," and "a sharply observant satire dissecting the male vanity, national hubris and hypocrisy behind the 'logic' of war."
