Jane Austen And A Biographical Study Of The Historical Narrative Process, Serena Young
Jane Austen And A Biographical Study Of The Historical Narrative Process, Serena Young
Electronic Theses, Projects, and Dissertations
Jane Austen, beloved national literary icon of Great Britain, is world-renowned for her fiction. Biographers have attempted to authentically piece together her life and often, try to connect her narrative to when and how her fiction was written, as well as point out circumstances within her personal life and speculate their influence on her work. Literary analysts and critics that have examined the historical narrative process, Hayden White and Kevin Gilvary, have found that the way in which a historical account is presented plays a significant role in how history is understood and perpetuated. When examining Jane Austen’s life, many …
Interdisciplinary Lesson Plans To Study Art And Romantic Poetry (1775-1837), Luz Elena Ramirez
Interdisciplinary Lesson Plans To Study Art And Romantic Poetry (1775-1837), Luz Elena Ramirez
Q2S Enhancing Pedagogy
Enhanced Pedagogy funding has supported the design of three interdisciplinary lesson plans for California State University, San Bernardino students to study the relationship between art and Romantic poetry (1775-1837). Following the scholarship of Stuart Henry, William Condee exposes the problem in academe of “disciplinary hegemony.” Henry argues that “disciplines have come to control content, pedagogy and the organization of higher learning. Disciplines. . . become systems of power that control resources and access to dissemination” (Henry qtd. in Condee 4). Disciplinary hegemony fractures lines of continuity between subjects. My project seeks to facilitate a robust engagement with art and ancient …
Nashe’S Poem For Ferdinando Stanley, Lord Strange, Jennifer Andersen
Nashe’S Poem For Ferdinando Stanley, Lord Strange, Jennifer Andersen
English Faculty Publications
This article makes a case for the dedication of "The Choise of Valentines" to Ferdinando Stanley, Lord Strange, and explores some of its ramifications for the interpretation of the poem. Beyond the significance of this identification for the poem, establishing the dedication to Lord Strange and Nashe’s participation in elite literary coteries would also be more broadly significant for Nashe studies.
To Speak Or Not To Speak: The Implications Of Silence In Shakespeare's Hamlet, Margaret Rose Jones
To Speak Or Not To Speak: The Implications Of Silence In Shakespeare's Hamlet, Margaret Rose Jones
Theses Digitization Project
This thesis explores the function and importance of silence throughout William Shakespeare's play Hamlet. Along with analysis of Shakespeare's text, this thesis also reviews and analyzes three film versions of the play: Laurence Olivier's 1948 production, Kenneth Branagh's 1996 production, and Michael Almereyda's 2000 production. All of these showcase various depictions of silence while working with the same Shakespearian text and plotline. Throughout the text and film analyses this thesis explores three areas in which silence plays an important role: refusal to join a conversation, emotional distress rendering someone silent, and societal limitations placed on the individual. This thesis attempts …
Satire's Club: Reality, Reason, And Knowledge In Joseph Andrews, Heather Anne Law Davis
Satire's Club: Reality, Reason, And Knowledge In Joseph Andrews, Heather Anne Law Davis
Theses Digitization Project
Satire has been credited with possessing the power to deconstruct the distinctions we make between opposing concepts and thus lead us to reevaluate established views. Structuralist Ferdinand de Saussure claimed that language relies on sets of opposites, or binary pairs, to create meaning. Building on this idea, deconstructionist Jacques Derrida explored the hierarchies he believed were inherent in all binary pairs, arguing that on concept in each pair occupies a superior position in our consciousness.
Eugenic Discourse In The Work Of D.H. Lawrence, Christopher Lawrence Cotton
Eugenic Discourse In The Work Of D.H. Lawrence, Christopher Lawrence Cotton
Theses Digitization Project
Eugenic discourse is apparent in the work of many writers in the early 20th century, but is especially explicit in D.H. Lawrence's novel, Lady Chatterley's Lover, as well as his private letters. A close reading of these works illustrates Lawrence's attempts to grapple with his advocacy of eugenic.

Allusion As Form: The Waste Land And Moulin Rouge!, Stacy Magedanz
Allusion As Form: The Waste Land And Moulin Rouge!, Stacy Magedanz
Library Faculty Publications & Presentations
Allusion is usually considered a literary technique, but relatively little attention has been paid to the notion of allusion as a literary form. In this essay, I attempt to describe the allusive form based on two prominent examples, T. S. Eliot’s Waste Land and Baz Luhrmann’s Moulin Rouge! Though radically different, the two works embody distinguishing characteristics of the allusive form. These are intertextuality, or a dependence upon outside sources for sense and significance; heightened and self-conscious artificiality; a confrontational attitude toward the audience; elitism, based on the exclusivity of allusions; appropriation of multiple cultures; and pervasive anachronism. Though prone …
From Darwin To Dracula: A Study Of Literary Evolution, Erin Alice Lamborn
From Darwin To Dracula: A Study Of Literary Evolution, Erin Alice Lamborn
Theses Digitization Project
Argues that, without the publication of Charles Darwin's "Origin of Species," Bram Stoker's novel "Dracula" and Oscar Wilde's novel "The Picture of Dorian Gray" would not have been written with their distinct style and themes, as evolution clashes with degeneration and female power (and the sexuality derived from that power) clashes with the new science. Stoker and Wilde combine the science of the late 19th century with the characters of their imaginations. Natural and sexual selection plays a part in these characters' core development. The mixture of sexuality, science and power in these two novels all combine to formulate what …
Public Justice And Private Mercy In Measure For Measure, Stacy Magedanz
Public Justice And Private Mercy In Measure For Measure, Stacy Magedanz
Library Faculty Publications & Presentations
As the only one of Shakespeare’s plays to carry a biblical title, Measure for Measure draws on an explicitly Christian body of thought about law, mercy, justice, and the right exercise of authority. The pervasive influence of the Sermon on the Mount (Matt. 5–7) over Measure for Measure’s action has led many critics to interpret the play as a straightforward Christian allegory where Mercy pleads before God in a grand Last Judgment.1 Another group, perhaps in reaction, has found in the play a subversion of the expected outcomes of justice, or even a radical subversion of all authority.2 During the …
