William Kloefkorn : His Works And His Women, Jane Jensen Pierce
William Kloefkorn : His Works And His Women, Jane Jensen Pierce
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Kloefkorn's poetry explores the relationship between people and their land, an integral part of the psyche of a people whose livelihood depends upon this relationship. His first book of poetry, Alvin Turner As Farmer, deals almost entirely with learning to live with the land instead of trying to dominate it. After writing poetry on other subjects, Kloefkorn returns to this theme in Platte Valley Homestead, his eleventh collection, as he incorporates both the river and the land as learning experiences for the Midwestern farmer. In other collections, he goes beyond farm people and writes of small-town life, especially as it …

Adrienne Rich:"Re-Membering" Women's History And Language, Polly Heins
Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Her striving to define and to integrate these two aspects of her life have caused her during the more producing changes poetry to undergo a profound metamorphosis than 30 years that she has been writing, in both the style and content of her work. In style, Rich progresses from a traditional metered rhyme scheme through a series of experimental forms that reflect her changing perception of self and society. She finally arrives at a fluid free verse that mirrors her acceptance of her own power as woman and poet. In content, Rich's …
Dialect Geography In South Dakota : The Eureka Dialect, Christie Steiger Delfanian
Dialect Geography In South Dakota : The Eureka Dialect, Christie Steiger Delfanian
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
In the late nineteenth century, diverse social and economic conditions in Europe caused immigration to America. The European experiences of these pioneers continued to influence their reactions against the pressure to assimilate into a Midwestern culture. Of the German people who settled in the Dakotas, the German Russians, particularly those who homesteaded in the Eureka, South Dakota area, formed one of the most culturally cohesive communities. When two major railroad companies were recruiting settlers for the Eureka area, the Germans from Russia were looking for an escape from the increasing pressure to blend into Russian society. These Germans originally had …
Upwards And Onwards :Women's Search For Authenticity In The Novels Of Charlotte Bronte, Jean Mcgruer
Upwards And Onwards :Women's Search For Authenticity In The Novels Of Charlotte Bronte, Jean Mcgruer
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
There is much in Bronte's novels that is autobiographical: one cannot help but notice the similarities between her small, plain, and often painfully shy heroines and their creator. They are teachers and governesses, they are women who long to be loved and cherished, they have strong beliefs. This study is not intended to be biographical, however, for there is much in her heroines that does not reflect Bronte. Women of Bronte's background, educated gentlewomen, often lacking financial security, rarely had many options for employment, and even fewer for a career. They were seamstresses, companions, governesses, teachers. They were often poorly …

Survey data, interviews, and State Fair results were collected to test hypotheses generated by exchange network analysis. Both clubs and counties varied in the degree to which they had implemented …
Comparison Of Two Phosphorus Tests On Calcareous Soils Of Eastern South Dakota, Mohamed Ali
Comparison Of Two Phosphorus Tests On Calcareous Soils Of Eastern South Dakota, Mohamed Ali
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Phosphorus is an important nutrient in crop production, since many soils in their native state do not contain sufficient available phosphorus to maximize crop yield. Now, more than ever, the importance of an adequate supply of plant nutrients to insure [sic] sufficient crop production is being recognized. Soil scientists and agronomists are continually striving to overcome nutrient deficiencies as well as use improved management practices in order that yields may more nearly approach the genetic limit of crop plants. Phosphorous forms sparingly soluble compounds with divalent and trivalent cations in soils. Therefore, the amount of P in the soil solution …
