Public Housing For The Elderly : The Relationship Of Selected Physical Standards To Resident Satisfaction, Kathleen L. Zoellner

The design of buildings can have an important effect on the persons who live and move around in them. In the United States there has been experimentation with a variety …
Martha Ostenso : Romance Versus Realism, Laura Bosch
Martha Ostenso : Romance Versus Realism, Laura Bosch
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Martha Ostenso’s career as a novelist can be summarized as one of overnight success, loss of reputation, and finally obscurity. Still, her life, coupled with her fiction, provides a paradoxical and fascinating story. It might even be viewed as representative of the emerging consciousness of the American woman during the early part of the twentieth century. In 1924, at the age of twenty-four, she was awarded the highest sum ever granted a North American author for a first novel; by the time of her death in 1963, she was virtually an unknown and unreputed as a serious author. The following …
