Balancing Rosie And June: A Study Of Lynchburg College Postwar Alumnae And The Impact Of The Feminine Mystique, Dinah Watson
Balancing Rosie And June: A Study Of Lynchburg College Postwar Alumnae And The Impact Of The Feminine Mystique, Dinah Watson
Undergraduate Theses and Capstone Projects
In 2003, the movie Mona Lisa Smile debuted describing the frustrations that many college women may have faced in the years after World War II. Wellesley College was the elite all-female institution that openly and proudly prepared its young women with the proper rules of etiquette and correctness. Despite Wellesley’s own excellent academic reputation, its close proximity to the prestigious single-sex male college, Harvard, made it even more appealing and convenient for the Wellesley girls to find a “suitable” husband. The novice young art instructor, Katherine Watson, was unique in that she wanted to offer her students not only a …
From Man To Meteor: Nineteenth Century American Writers And The Figure Of John Brown, Amanda Benigni
From Man To Meteor: Nineteenth Century American Writers And The Figure Of John Brown, Amanda Benigni
Theses, Dissertations and Capstones
On November 2, 1859, John Brown laid siege to the Federal Arsenal at Harper’s Ferry, then Virginia, in an effort to seize weaponry which he planned to employ in a full scale slave insurrection. From the moment he entered the public eye during his brief trial and execution, John Brown and his legacy were figured and refigured by prominent writers and thinkers of the time. The result of this refiguring was an image under constant metamorphosis. As the image of John Brown cycled through the Civil War, it moved further and further from the actual man and became a metaphor …
Appalachian Literature And The "Red-Headed Stepchild Of Publishing:" The Writings Of Victor Depta And The Cultural Work Of Independent Presses, Kristopher Clifford
Appalachian Literature And The "Red-Headed Stepchild Of Publishing:" The Writings Of Victor Depta And The Cultural Work Of Independent Presses, Kristopher Clifford
Theses, Dissertations and Capstones
Over the past couple of decades, Appalachian literature has developed a strong and close relationship with independent publishing, showing the latter to be an important medium for the expression for Appalachian voice. As the attempted consolidation of the book trade into a corporate, bottom-line oriented, high-profit industry minimizes the publication of books with mere "regional" appeal at the same time that the cultural products of Appalachia, as a region, continue to be marginalized through the continued deployment of stereotypes and attitudes of inferiority, Appalachian writers find it difficult to have their books published and distributed by major publishing houses. As …
I Am Prosper, I Am Ariel, I Am Caliban: A Metatheatrical Approach To Neil Gaiman’S The Sandman, Leah E. Haydu
I Am Prosper, I Am Ariel, I Am Caliban: A Metatheatrical Approach To Neil Gaiman’S The Sandman, Leah E. Haydu
Theses, Dissertations and Capstones
In this paper, I use a primarily close-reading approach to examine the metatheatrical elements of William Shakespeare’s representation in Neil Gaiman’s comic book series The Sandman. This involves examinations of individual panels throughout three different issues of the series in order to uncover how Shakespeare is presented, as well as how he, in turn, affects the presentation of other characters, and how these both affect the view which the reader might form of not only Shakespeare, but of Gaiman himself. In doing so, I establish the existence of a new, related genre: metacomics. Similar to metatheatrics, this approach relates …

It is suggested that Brown created a gothic fiction that was intended to be a critique on the American Revolution by using murder narrratives present during the time to create his characters. Gothic fiction consists of many elements such as setting arechetypal characters, terror, emotion, psychological turmoil and language use.
The Beaded Web: Metaphor And Association In John Edgar Wideman's Sent For You Yesterday, Joel Wesley Kilpatrick
The Beaded Web: Metaphor And Association In John Edgar Wideman's Sent For You Yesterday, Joel Wesley Kilpatrick
Theses Digitization Project
This thesis looks at how Wideman takes advantage of the associative function of metaphor, creating a vast network, or web, or interconnected images. In deviating from linguistic norms, and growing steadily from page to page, this web causes the novel to appear symbolic. It also appears to have a symbolic meaning of its own, possibly representing the intricate social and spiritual connections that comprise the novel's fictional community of Homewood.
Engaging The Eighties: Ethics, Objects, Periods, Kevin L. Ferguson
Engaging The Eighties: Ethics, Objects, Periods, Kevin L. Ferguson
Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects
This dissertation examines a recent decade in American history whose unique notion of self-periodization generated important questions of ethical engagement and withdrawal. Situated during a time of an increasingly complex relationship between literature and theory, thinkers in the 80s self-consciously shifted towards making claims about their present moment which were based on the logic of rupture, and which thus created an either-or logic of pessimism or optimism in response to this rupture. These kinds of self-periodizing notions generally are collected under the rubric "postmodernism" and the first chapter deals with a transatlantic movement between theorists such as Fredric Jameson and …
