The Follies Incident To Human Nature: Susanna Moodie's Life Story As Spiritual Autobiography In "Rachel Wilde," "Flora Lyndsay," "Roughing It In The Bush" And "Life In The Clearings", Susan Yvonne Greenfield Jan 1990

The Follies Incident To Human Nature: Susanna Moodie's Life Story As Spiritual Autobiography In "Rachel Wilde," "Flora Lyndsay," "Roughing It In The Bush" And "Life In The Clearings", Susan Yvonne Greenfield

Digitized Theses

Most critics of Moodie's work have assumed that her response to emigrating remained a negative one. They generally seem to agree that the reactions she shows herself as experiencing in 1832-33, still hold valid for the woman she was when she published her autobiographical stories. Moreover, it is generally held that Moodie's portrayal of herself is naive.;This thesis suggests that it is actually interesting to see in Moodie a woman who viewed herself as flawed and who portrayed herself as such throughout her four exercises in life writing--"Rachel Wilde" (1847-48), Flora Lyndsay (1854), Roughing It in the Bush (1852) and …


Anne Hebert: Recherche D'Une Identite, Revolte Prometheenne Lecture Intertextuelle De Sa Poesie, Kathleen Elizabeth Kells Jan 1990

Anne Hebert: Recherche D'Une Identite, Revolte Prometheenne Lecture Intertextuelle De Sa Poesie, Kathleen Elizabeth Kells

Digitized Theses

Aucune synthese critique n'ayant ete faite des poemes d'Anne Hebert regroupes pour la plupart dans trois recueils--Les Songes en equilibre (1942), Le Tombeau des rois (1953) et Mystere de la parole (1960)--, la presente etude propose d'en entreprendre une. Ce faisant, elle decouvre dans le premier de ces trois recueils un reseau fixe d'associations du genre decouvert par Charles Mauron dans l'oeuvre de Mallarme. Or, ce meme reseau associatif se maintient a travers les deux recueils qui suivent mais en y subissant certaines modifications importantes quant a l'evolution de la poesie hebertienne. Aussi le reseau associatif dans Les Songes en …


"Veracity Of Vision": Narrative Perspective In William Morris's Prose Romances And Political Fictions, Isolde Karen Herbert Jan 1990

"Veracity Of Vision": Narrative Perspective In William Morris's Prose Romances And Political Fictions, Isolde Karen Herbert

Digitized Theses

This dissertation explores the dialectical relations between narrative and perception in Morris's 1856 tales, his overtly political fictions, and his late fantastic romances (The Glittering Plain, The Wood Beyond the World, and The Water of the Wondrous Isles). The tales in The Oxford and Cambridge Magazine (1856) initiate Morris's attempts to alienate the reader from conventional modes of perception: narrative positions which elude traditional boundaries between life and death, past and present, and subjective and objective reformulate preconceived ideas about linguistic representations of time and space. In the political romances, (The Pilgrims of Hope, A Dream of John Ball, News …


"This Land, Too, Has Its Own Springs": The Northern, Spiritual Vision In W W E Ross's Poetry, S B. Matthews Jan 1990

"This Land, Too, Has Its Own Springs": The Northern, Spiritual Vision In W W E Ross's Poetry, S B. Matthews

Digitized Theses

Recently published correspondence between Ross and Gustafson and between Ross and Smith, as well as newly available unpublished material, has made a re-evaluation of the body of Ross's work necessary. The evidence now suggests that spiritualism and occultism were essential to Ross's thought from very early in his poetic career, and that the deceptively simple poems of the Canadian north for which he is best known participate in his overall vision of the operation of the supernatural in the natural world.;The thesis reviews what is known of Ross and of his poetic achievement and then suggests a new way of …


Anne Hebert: Le Statut Du Sujet Desirant Et Du Sujet Parlant Dans L'Oeuvre Romanesque, Silva Helena Da Jan 1990

Anne Hebert: Le Statut Du Sujet Desirant Et Du Sujet Parlant Dans L'Oeuvre Romanesque, Silva Helena Da

Digitized Theses

Notre these propose une analyse du statut du sujet de l'oeuvre romanesque hebertienne en tant qu'entite desirante et parlante. Seront ici sondes les mecanismes textuels les plus propices a une comprehension du sujet en tant que phenomene traverse par des forces desirantes face aux pratiques discursives dans lesquelles il s'insere definitivement en tant qu'identite sociale. Si, au niveau de l'enonce, il sera question de sonder le rapport entretenu par le sujet vis-a-vis de la parole aussi bien que les lignes majeures de la representation de sa trajectoire desirante telles que relevees par une psycho-critique, il s'agira d'autre part d'explorer le …


Robert Kroetsch's Open Field: A Study In Canadian Postmodernism, James R. Snyder Jan 1990

Robert Kroetsch's Open Field: A Study In Canadian Postmodernism, James R. Snyder

Digitized Theses

Critics of Robert Kroetsch's fiction have praised his willingness to take risks employ new and difficult forms, but many of the same critics decried this openness and difficulty of form when it was carried to an extreme in his later novels. This thesis considers the development of Kroetsch's work from the perspective that his latest, most adventurous work is also his best and most typical. The focus of the thesis is Kroetsch's fiction, with relatively brief examinations of his poetic and critical works, chiefly in terms of how they pertain to the direction his fiction takes.;Kroetsch's main theme is the …

Authorial Introductions: Presentations Of The Self As Author In Prefaces And Autobiographies. (Volumes I And Ii)., Laurie Frances Leach Jan 1990

Authorial Introductions: Presentations Of The Self As Author In Prefaces And Autobiographies. (Volumes I And Ii)., Laurie Frances Leach

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

This dissertation examines the prefaces and autobiographies of creative writers as "authorial introductions," textual spaces in which writers present themselves to their readers as authors. It consists of three main parts. Part One concerns autobiographical prefaces by two writers, Nathaniel Hawthorne and Mary Shelley, who did not write autobiographies and who were defensive about the autobiographical content of their prefaces. Both writers were ambivalent about authorship and hesitant about bringing themselves "forward in print," but within the limits of their prefaces, they were able to speak autobiographically and portray themselves as authors. Part Two examines the autobiographies and prefaces of …

An Overview Of Bibliotherapy And Its Applications In The Elementary Classroom, Kerry Sue Abernathy

All Graduate Projects

Bibliotherapy has been used for many years as an aid to the healing process. The concept of using literature to promote mental health has been increasingly accepted as a valid therapeutic method in recent years. Bibliotherapy has, in the past, been used primarily with adults. This study will focus on recent developments to help children grow and develop a positive self-concept through literature. Book lists have been compiled from the many children's books available on the subjects of death and dying, illness, divorce, fears, handicaps, blended families, single parents, friendship, physical development, family relationships, attitudes and values, emotions and feelings, …
