Senior Theses and Projects
This thesis focuses on the medieval texts of Chaucer’s “Wife of Bath’s Prologue and Tale” and The Book of Margery Kempe.

Although Goudge had no professional training in psychology, her characters engage in what today would be labeled …

Edna St. Vincent Millay: Artisan Of Violent Feminine Agency, Carolina Galdiz
Senior Theses and Projects
For decades, scholars have understood Edna St Vincent Millay in two fairly distinctive patterns as either a classical romanticist or ephemeral rebel.

What critics have failed to see in her poetry are the potent sinister undertones that claim violence as a means to power.
