Why Mystery And Detective Fiction Was A Natural Outgrowth Of The Victorian Period, Sharon J. Kobritz
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This Master Project presents evidence showing why mystery and detective fiction flourished during the Victorian period and argues that this enduring genre was a natural outgrowth of this time.

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Zimbabwean Land And Zimbabwean People: Creative Explorations., Joshua Caine Anchors
Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The disputes and issues discussed in this piece are very realistic and awareness is raised as to the historical nature and racial dimensions of the current land disputes in Zimbabwe. "Dubious," the second piece, is …

Ghetto Regionalism: Place, Identity, And Assimilation In The Fiction Of Abraham Cahan, Sui Sin Far, And Zitkala-Sa, Tabitha Adams Morgan
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
My thesis is an exploration of turn-of-the-century immigrant and minority fiction. I deal specifically with the marginalization of minorities who live in ghettos, how and why such a demarcated place and space informs their social identity, and the function and ramifications of the assimilation process on those individuals, as shown in the fiction of Abraham Cahan, Sui Sin Far, and Zitkala-Sa.
