Anais Nin's Under A Glass Bell : From Interior Fatality To Psychological Motion, John Harty

Master's Theses

Most of the critic ism on Anais Nin has been an overview of her entire work. Under A Glass Bell is included but, to my knowledge, no one has explored each individual story deeply enough since Nin herself recommends Under A Glass Bell as the book to begin with when reading or studying her works. Ibelieve that her recommendation is correct because Under A Glass Bell contains the nucleus of themes which she conc entrates on in all of her works, including the Diaries.

Often the Romans had to rely on a post-marital propinquity for the development of love which normally precedes marriage.

With such judicial intimidation, the Attorney-General was able to secure a verdict of guilty for the crown.

Coke's independent nature helped make the …
