Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
The emerging field of creative writing studies has provided new conceptions of creative writing's role within the English discipline.

Trans-Relational Poetics And Outsider American Modernist And Postmodernist Poetry, Anna Elena Eyre
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
This dissertation is concerned with how language mediates the relationship between self and other, and in particular, mythopoetic language. The political potential of myth has long been condemned, so much so that the word "myth" is now synonymous with "false." I argue that this is a result of what I term as heroic mythopoesis wherein the relationship between self and other is predicated on a violent separation that reinforces conceptions of identity.

The most common narratives of encounters with the indigenous race are from the early colonial period of American history. Indian relations were central to the struggle of early American settlers to tame the American wilderness and flourish as colonies under the Crown. After the Revolution, however, it seems that the Indian position in history has been thought of as a side story to the main event of American Independence. In this thesis I explore an alternate perspective, a reading of history which promotes the idea that after the American Revolution, the fate of the new nation was irrevocably defined by …
