Cotton Mather's "Magnalia Christi Americana" And Rehearsed Spectacles Of New England History, 1820-1862, Christopher Daniel Felker
Cotton Mather's "Magnalia Christi Americana" And Rehearsed Spectacles Of New England History, 1820-1862, Christopher Daniel Felker
Doctoral Dissertations
The decade from 1820-30, is a time recognized by many as a cultural moment when a truly "national" identity and its probable origins focused the attention of intellectuals. Part One of the dissertation examines the key moments in Magnalia dedicated to a political and historical appraisal of Puritanism in New England. In Part Two, I consider three works written after the publication of the Robbins edition: Nathaniel Hawthorne's "Grandfather's Chair" (1839); Harriet Beecher Stowe's The Ministers Wooing (1859); and Elizabeth Drew Stoddard's The Morgesons (1862). These works best illustrate the Magnalia's politically astute display of the accordance between a writer's …
Arcadia Disjointed: Confrontations With Texts, Polemical, Utopian, And Picaresque., Deborah Ann Jacobs
Arcadia Disjointed: Confrontations With Texts, Polemical, Utopian, And Picaresque., Deborah Ann Jacobs
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
Beginning with the historical example provided by the extended text of the Popish Plot, that is, by the polemical press battle which raged during this major threat to Charles II's Restoration government, I identify what I term a narrator/narrative disjunction. The narrator/narrative disjunction occurs when the narrator or teller relates one story, while the narrative he or she relates suggests or strongly intimates that the narrator should be adjudged less than reliable. In the course of this exploration, I read several Tory polemical texts on the Popish Plot, including Dryden's Absalom and Achitophel, not as literary works, but rather as …
Voices Of The Self In Daniel Defoe's Fiction: An Alternative Marxist Approach., Zaixin Zhang
Voices Of The Self In Daniel Defoe's Fiction: An Alternative Marxist Approach., Zaixin Zhang
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
The alternative Marxist approach to literary criticism in the present study consists of three "vocal" modes of interpretation: the public voice, the private voice, and the homeless voice of the self. The public voice represents authorial visions of the ideological real projected by dominant ideology that covers up the "objective" real, while the private voice corresponds to the authorial conscious or unconscious insertion into radical ideology that turns the "objective" real into the ideological real. However, the homeless voice of the self obliterates any ties with history and authorial ideology. A personification of the Marxist "particular interest" of the self, …
Forged Ties: The 'Comitatus' And Anglo -Saxon Poetry., Leslie Ann Stratyner
Forged Ties: The 'Comitatus' And Anglo -Saxon Poetry., Leslie Ann Stratyner
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
The focus of this study is the illumination of the most unchanging and consistent aspect of Anglo-Saxon poetry: the poetic representation of the ethos of the warrior band. The ideals of the comitatus offer a contributing, if not controlling, structure to nearly the entire corpus of Anglo-Saxon poetry. That warband could attain no finer poetic representation than Beowulf and "The Battle of Maldon," which, in presenting not only positive but negative models of behavior, best exemplify the ideals of the comitatus as embodied in Anglo-Saxon verse. Chapter 1 examines the institutions and practices of that masculine circle as illustrated in …
Character Education Through Secondary School Literature Classes, Mary Elizabeth Curfman
Character Education Through Secondary School Literature Classes, Mary Elizabeth Curfman
UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations
Perhaps because of a lack of knowledge about American history and tradition, American youth are disconnected from society and feel little moral obligation or responsibility to others. While American public schools traditionally taught values and ethics, most no longer do so in any consistent or systematic fashion; This thesis will defend a synthesis of the thinking of certain influential moral philosophers and learning theorists on the nature of moral character and its development. Since its recommendations are for improving character education in public secondary school literature classes in the Clark County School District, Las Vegas, Nevada, the thesis will also …
A Brooding Eloquence: Amplification And Irony In Marlowe's Dramas., Jeffery Galle
A Brooding Eloquence: Amplification And Irony In Marlowe's Dramas., Jeffery Galle
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
My subject is the relationship between rhetoric and the range of possible reaction to Marlowe's protagonists in his five major plays--Tamburlaine I and II, Doctor Faustus, The Jew of Malta, and Edward II. In a very broad sense, I conceive of the rhetoric of each play in terms of opposing rhetorical forces, amplification and irony, and attempt to account for the relative intensity of amplification and irony in each play as I study the rhetoric of the protagonist. One strategy, amplification, entails the investment of a major character with logical arguments from invention, effective arrangement of ideas from disposition, and …

Faulkner, Truth, And The Artist's Directive: A Reading Of "A Fable"., Bobby Lynn Matthews
Faulkner, Truth, And The Artist's Directive: A Reading Of "A Fable"., Bobby Lynn Matthews
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
The old general in A Fable embodies the resolution of questions about the relation of art and life that Faulkner evoked in his invention of Quentin Compson in The Sound and the Fury and pursued in a series of subsequent characterizations. This artist-figure motif discloses Faulkner's implication of the relation in the modern crisis of faith. Faulkner images in narrative fiction what Nietzsche asserts in discourse, namely, the need for a reversal of the Platonic valuation of eternal "truth" (ideality) over art. The characterization of Quentin shows the potentially terrible consequences of man's propensity for mythopoeic invention, as Quentin's unconscious …
Patterning The Past: History As Ideology In Modern Southern Fiction., Deborah Wilson
Patterning The Past: History As Ideology In Modern Southern Fiction., Deborah Wilson
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
In this study, I analyze the modes of historical representation in works by Robert Penn Warren, William Faulkner, Eudora Welty and Ellen Douglas. In the chapter on All the King's Men, a novel that exemplifies the masculine historical perspective of traditional Southern literature, I show how Warren defines history as a process moving toward a predetermined end and then structures the narrative so that the women characters are constantly positioned outside that definition. In the second chapter, I begin with Eudora Welty's The Robber Bridegroom, examining the ways she alters the traditional story line of American history by drawing attention …
Dominance, Marginality, And Subversion In French (Post)Colonial Discourse., Suzanne Mary Chester
Dominance, Marginality, And Subversion In French (Post)Colonial Discourse., Suzanne Mary Chester
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
This dissertation examines a selection of fictional texts by Marguerite Duras, Andre Gide, Assia Djebar and Tahar ben Jelloun. In my readings of these colonial and post-colonial narratives, I explore the textual strategies which transform marginalized positions based on colonialism, gender, sexual orientation and class into positions of dominance. In Gide and Duras, for example, this is evident in their complicity with dominant ideologies of colonialism. By contrast, the second section of the dissertation focuses on the oppositional strategies in the work of Djebar and ben Jelloun, two post-colonial writers from North Africa. Here, I analyze the ways in which …
Self And Power: Political Reconstruction In The Drama Of Christopher Marlowe., Patricia A. Brown
Self And Power: Political Reconstruction In The Drama Of Christopher Marlowe., Patricia A. Brown
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
Christopher Marlowe created Renaissance drama as we think of it today. Marlowe's princely protagonists are studied here not as sovereigns responsible for the general well-being of their subjects, but as ambitious characters who use power to control their personal environment. Seen from this viewpoint, the dramatic function of the central characters is either to develop a new stance toward the idea of public authority or to refashion an old one. Instead of attending to governance, they attempt to encompass all existence within themselves: Tamburlaine the world conqueror; Edward and Dido, public rulers whose private relationships transform their public positions; the …
Writing And Modernity: Colette's Feminist Fiction., Lezlie Hart Stivale
Writing And Modernity: Colette's Feminist Fiction., Lezlie Hart Stivale
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
My choice of Colette's fiction as the subject of critical analysis is one occasioned not only by the richness of her literary corpus, but also by the marginalization of Colette's work as "natural" or "feminine" within the French literary canon. While much has been written on Colette, consideration of her personal life has overly influenced the critical evaluation of her works. I break with the prevalent biographical trend in Colette criticism by approaching seven of her novels from feminist perspectives informed by deconstruction, narratology and psychoanalysis. These productive readings reveal multiple destabilizing effects. A close reading of Cheri locates sites …
Questioning Authorship In Twentieth Century Literary Autobiography., Donna Marie Perreault
Questioning Authorship In Twentieth Century Literary Autobiography., Donna Marie Perreault
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
This dissertation, "Questioning Authorship in Twentieth-Century Literary Autobiography," provides readings of narrative autobiographies by some of this century's most prominent and rebellious professional writers. Individual chapters interpret the autobiographies of Jean-Paul Sartre and Richard Wright, Gertrude Stein, Simone de Beauvoir, and Zora Neale Hurston. The autobiographies that I read variously represent the transformation of a writer into an author and collectively problematize the personal and literary authorizations effecting this transformation. I examine how these narratives put into question both processes of authorization and the cultural contexts in which they occur, contexts which, diverse though they are, all valorize and regulate …
A Reading Of "A Good Man Is Hard To Find" And "A Curtain Of Green": The Influence Of Parable On Flannery O'Connor And Eudora Welty., Allison Carol Chestnut
A Reading Of "A Good Man Is Hard To Find" And "A Curtain Of Green": The Influence Of Parable On Flannery O'Connor And Eudora Welty., Allison Carol Chestnut
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
A Good Man is Hard to Find by Flannery O'Connor and A Curtain of Green by Eudora Welty are short story cycles harmonized by their marked imitation of the style and structure of parable. O'Connor added stories after initially sending the collection to the publisher and then rearranged them accordingly; her work represents a completed cycle. Welty's collection, published in an order different from their individual publications and their original placement in an early typescript, is an arranged cycle. Moreover, parabolic style and structure unify each cycle. A parable typically is a brief story told in the past tense, usually …
