Herrick's Wild Civility, Martin Corless-Smith

English Literature Faculty Publications and Presentations

When one reaches for a book to take on a trip there might be any number of reasons for making a choice, but undoubtedly preeminent for me is company. I find that more often than not I take Herrick. And I have wondered why this is. Part of the reason is that he is at once familiar, and so I bring the familiar with me as one might a friend, but he remains somewhat enigmatic. I have been reading his Hesperidesfor longer than I care to recall, and it is not as if I haven't finished reading it so …

'Mother, Wife, And Queen': Tennyson's (Varying) Dedication To Queen Victoria, Patrick G. Scott

Faculty Publications

Discusses the literary precedents, manuscripts, composition, and biographical context for Tennyson's poem "To the Queen," first published in Match 1851, and argues that Tennyson's attitudes toward Queen Victoria and to his role as Poet Laureate were more nuanced and more conflicted than most critics have recognized.

Distancing The Past: New Forms Of Discomfort With Aids In The U.S, John C. Hawley

English

In his Introduction to this collection, Gustavo Subero makes reference to the AIDS Quilt, a reference made especially significant since the year 2012 marked its 25th anniversary. The whole quilt had been last displayed in 1996; in the summer of 2012, 8.000 panels were rotated each day in the National Mall in Washington, DC. The quilt, composed of thousands of 3’ x 6’ panels (intentionally the size of a human grave), currently consists of over 48.000 panels honoring more than 94.000 individuals who have died of AIDS. In the early days of the quilt, in the 1980s and 1990s, the …

Shakespeare's The Merchant Of Venice & The 'Productions' Of National Identity In The Face Of The Other, Eder Jaramillo

Department of English: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research

This examines the development of England’s national identity from the middle to the end of the sixteenth century, and specifically the role that its nascent imperial projects in the New World play in that development. As the questions of nationhood surface during Mary’s turbulent reign, these in turn prompt England’s ambivalence in openly emulating a proposed Spanish colonial model. This ambivalence is turned into a positive strength during the reign of Elizabeth I, where the question of her marriage becomes an essential tool to keep foreign powers guessing and hoping for an alliance. My analysis of England’s developing imperial identity …

Between The Man And Beast: Reactions To Evolutionary Science In Alfred, Lord Tennyson's Idylls Of The King And T. H. White's The Once And Future King, Mary Feldman

Masters Theses

The development and popular acceptance of evolutionary theory in the nineteenth century, of which Charles Darwin was perhaps the leading voice, produced perhaps the greatest cultural cataclysm of the Modern age. It held theological and philosophical implications beyond the scientific realm, profoundly impacting the humanities as well as science. The Arthurian legend, a story that has been told and retold for centuries before and after Darwin, offers us a unique opportunity to examine how a preexisting story was radically altered in the light of evolution. Alfred, Lord Tennyson's Idylls of the King and T. H. White's The Once and Future …

Bridging The Cultural And Educational Gap Between Humanitarian Groups, Researchers, And The Ghanaian People, Aaron Yates, Dr. Beverly B. Zimmerman

Journal of Undergraduate Research

During the summer of 2002 I did quantitative research with the HART organization (Humanitarian Aid Relief Team) in Ghana on the spread of Buruli Ulcer (BU). I found that there were cultural barriers that prevented the Ghanaian people from understanding Western concepts of medicine and receiving needed treatment. I have done further qualitative research this year in order to develop a mutual understanding that will help bridge the cultural and educational gap between foreign humanitarian groups (such as HART) and the Ghanaian people. During our research trip to Ghana we found a high incidence of Buruli Ulcer in the village …

Images Of Womanhood In J.R.R. Tolkien’S The Lord Of The Rings, Joy Mcmurray, Dr. Steve Walker

Journal of Undergraduate Research

J. R. R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings continues to rise in stature in the literary world, but it also sustains a significant cultural impact: it was one of the most widely read and influential novels of our time even before the blockbuster films were released. Authors and critics also acknowledge Tolkien’s work as a major influence on the recently expanded fantasy genre, and it is difficult to find a fantasy novel that does not contain significant elements and assumptions initiated by Tolkien. Thus, between these books and his own books, Tolkien has had and will have a great …

Consciousness At The Back Of Things: Hope In Thomas Hardy’S The Dynasts, Andrea Lewis, Dr. C Jay Fox

Journal of Undergraduate Research

Thomas Hardy was one of the most successful and significant writers in England during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Though his mother wanted him to pursue a career as an architect, Hardy gave up his position as a draughtsman while in his early twenties when he began to find more success as a writer. By his death at age 87, Hardy had published fourteen novels, several short stories and plays, and hundreds of poems.

Memoir On A Lds Family Of Sisters, Margaret Holsinger Manchak, Dr. Louise Plummer

Journal of Undergraduate Research

Creative nonfiction has recently become a popular genre of serious literary merit. What exactly is it? True stories using scenes, dialogue, close, detailed descriptions and other techniques usually employed by poets and fiction writers on any subject. This gives the writer great flexibility and power, especially in the LDS context, to tell stories that have purpose and meaning beyond the experiences of the writer. These stories can strike a more universal chord. Memoir falls under the umbrella of creative nonfiction. It is a piece of autobiographical writing drawing from the past. I have undertaken to write a memoir with my …

The Saints Of Southern India, Shauntelle Rowberry-Pallett, Dr. Lance Larsen

Journal of Undergraduate Research

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has had a presence in India for over 100 years. Yet, few people outside of India know anything about the members of the church in India. I first met the LDS church members in India in January of 1999. I was intrigued and inspired by these members who were willing to leave family, friends, religions and homes to join the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I was inspired by this initial visit and with the assistance and encouragement of Dr. David R. Rowberry and President Neal Twitchell, a former mission …

The Marginal Utility Of Student Writing, Seth Andrew Killingbeck, Dr. Kristine Hansen

Journal of Undergraduate Research

Because of a widespread concern that students fail to genuinely comprehend the subject material they study, during the 1980s many American academics began to advocate simple British instructional tools emphasizing writing. Contemporary literature and conversations refer to these tools as Writing Across the Curriculum (WAC), Writing in the Disciplines (WID), and Writing to Learn. Each of these related initiatives seeks to improve the educational quality of students by encouraging them to write more about classroom topics. Underlying pedagogical theory and empirical evidence indicate that, when implemented properly, increased student writing benefits students not only in their own comprehension, but in …

It’S A Sin To Kill A Mockingbird: The Depiction Of Law And Lawyers In Adolescent Literature, Shannon Johnson, Dr. Jesse Crisler

Journal of Undergraduate Research

Until a few years ago, scholars had done little research on legal themes in fiction, especially adolescent fiction. Lately, however, interest in the relationship between law and literature has increased. Law professors are starting to use works of literature in their teaching. English professors are sponsoring courses on legal themes in literature and the rhetoric of law. But in all the excitement of these new trends, little has been said about the relationship between law and adolescent literature.
