"Brighton Possesses All The Requisites ... For Either Amusement Or Dissipation": Frivolity In Jane Austen's Pride And Prejudice, Heather Weis
Pride and Prejudice: The Bicentennial
Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice describes the city of Brighton cursorily, but it is a subject well worth investigating, as it is the setting for an important plot point and prospects of a trip to the city create such a furor among the inhabitants of the Bennet house.

Rules Of Engagement: Mr. Darcy's Courtship In Jane Austen's Pride And Prejudice, Victoria Lane
Pride and Prejudice: The Bicentennial
Jane Austen's novel Pride and Prejudice (1813) is most commonly regarded as a story of love. The narrative does indeed follow a marriage plot line, Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet do fall in love and get married, but where within the narrative do we see any true sentiment revealed? The linear plot stretches from beginning to end; from their first meeting to their inevitable marriage. The space between must then be filled with the act of courting; each party's attempt at establishing a connection. However, the majority of the development of the relationship between Elizabeth and Darcy is devoid of …

Framing Eve: Contemporary Retellings Of Biblical Women For Young People, Elizabeth Gillhouse
Theses and Dissertations
This dissertation examines the ideological implications of re-visioning Bible stories for young readers in order to negotiate changing cultural attitudes regarding gender. I begin by exploring three theories of retelling traditional narratives including John Stephens and Robyn McCallum's discussion of "reversion," Adrienne Rich's concept of "re-vision," and the Jewish tradition of biblical Midrash. Stephens and McCallum's term "reversion" emphasizes the inevitable cultural influence that occurs during the process of retelling an existing narrative. Rich's discussion of "re-vision" advocates an active attempt on the part of feminists to re-see traditional narratives that have historically been used to oppress women. The Jewish …

Are Guatemalan K’Ekchi Mormons Really Protestants? A Comparative Look At K’Ekchi Stories, Robert E. M. Spencer, Dr. John Hawkins
Journal of Undergraduate Research
With blackness surrounding us both, Oscar stumbled over the words. Here I was living in the highlands of northern Guatemala, in a dirt floor shack, sitting on my wooden board bed, listening to the struggles of a Mayan man trying to read by candlelight. He was the product of’ Mayan tradition, Catholicism, Protestantism, and Mormonism. With such a mixture I wondered what I would discover, what were the stories that shaped his and his family’s lives? Were they traditional stories? biblical? from a new source? or did his semi-literacy create a barrier to his learning of any stories?
