Flowers Of Rhetoric: The Evolving Use Of The Language Of Flowers In Margaret Fuller’S Dial Sketches And Poetry, Elizabeth Stoddard’S The Morgesons, Edith Wharton’S Summer, Mary Austin’S Santa Lucia And Cactus Thorn, And Susan Glaspell’S The Verge, Corinne Kopcik Rhyner

Corinne Kopcik Rhyner

The language of flowers was a popular phenomenon in the United States in the nineteenth century. This dissertation on American literature looks at several American women authors’ use of the language of flowers in their novels. I examine the use of the language of flowers in Margaret Fuller’s “Magnolia of Lake Pontachartain,” “Yuca Filamentosa,” and poetry such as “To Sarah,” Elizabeth Stoddard’s The Morgesons, Edith Wharton’s Summer, Mary Austin’s Santa Lucia: A Common Story and Cactus Thorn, and Susan Glaspell’s The Verge. Through analysis of language of flowers dictionaries, historical studies of the language of flowers, feminist history and theory, …

The Narrated Mind: Children's Literature And The Creation Of The Self In Late Eighteenth-Century England, Adrianne Wadewitz Feb 2012

The Narrated Mind: Children's Literature And The Creation Of The Self In Late Eighteenth-Century England, Adrianne Wadewitz

Adrianne Wadewitz

As Alan Richardson has explained, late eighteenth-century children’s writers thought of “the child’s mind as a text in process.” As he puts it, “the child consumer of ‘moral’ fiction learns, above and beyond any discrete ethical lesson, to conceive of its own life in terms of a succession of moral narratives based on those…presented in the tales it reads.” This process is clear not only from the ways in which these texts suggest that they themselves be used but also through their representations of reading. It is significant that writers who highlight the importance of experience in the formation of …

However, when you go about your business with a positive attitude, sufficient faith, and very little cynicism, enjoyment often comes along and taps you on the shoulder. It is particularly accommodating to people totally involved in what they are doing, such as students and teachers who have become engaged dramatically with literature.
