The Indian Captivity Narrative: An American Genre, Richard Van Der Beets

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The vast body of Indian captivity narratives is known mostly to historians, anthropologists, and collectors of Americana. In the rare instances where informed scholarship has turned its attention to the narratives, emphasis has been upon the historical and cultural rather than the literary value of the tales. The Indian captivity narrative has been most commonly viewed as but a thread in the loose fabric of American cultural history, consisting of several "popular," sub-literary genres shaped and differentiated largely by the society for which the narratives were intended. The intention in this study is not so much to overturn that view …

Relationship Between The Narrator And The Black Knight In Chaucer's "The Book Of The Duchess.", Louise Adele Bing

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 1970 - 1979

An examination of the dream-vision form and the Hiddle English lyric clarifies the role relationship in Chaucer's The Book of the Duchess, a relationship not fully clarified by past scholarship. In the dream vision a conventional pattern establishes the relationship between the narrator and his superior guide and, in the English lyric form, the "chanson d'aventure," the narrator encounters a sorrowing figure who provides enlightenment through the explanation of his sorrow. Chaucer employs the dream vision's conventional pattern and, in the dream portion of the poem, he makes use of the "chanson d'aventure" form with the added complexities of his …

Character Development In Representative Victorian Novels, George T. Mitchell

All Master's Theses

This is a study of how characters are developed in five

representative Victorian novels. Character is studied on the

basis of a moral stance which motivates actions. Because the

concept of the moral stance is primarily dependent upon the

individual character, the characters in this paper are studied

in relation to themselves. There are many events and relationships

in the novels which are not discussed here , aspects of

the respective narratives which would illumine other interpretations

but which are irrelevant to this particular study.
