A New Defense Of Nonsense; Or, Where Then Is His Phallus? And Other Questions Not To Ask, Michael Heyman

Faculty Works

Victorian literary nonsense has mostly elicited two critical responses since Edward Lear published A Book of Nonsense in 1846. On one side we find the critics who argue for the "non-sensicality" of the genre. Partly as a backlash against those who see satire or symbolism in Lear's work, this group sided with Lear in proclaiming the genre "'Nonsense,' pure and absolute" (Lear, More Nonsense iv). This approach raised a certain fear among many critics in the second half of the twentieth century: if nonsense were truly "non-sense," it would preclude further critical debate.1 Thus the sense school of criticism was …

From Poems To Poets: The Life And Work Of Eavan Boland, Maggie Mae Miller

Honors Theses, 1963-2015

In my thesis I take a complete, critical look at Eavan Boland's life from early on as a young Irish girl exiled from her country and living in England, through her struggle to become a poet in an overwhelmingly male-dominated profession, to a close look and analysis of her work and life today. I trace the way in which Boland has struggled to integrate her life as a woman and a poet in Ireland. In the Irish tradition handed down to Boland, if women were not present as voices behind the poems as authors, then what was their role within …

Brazil And 12 Monkeys: Terry Gilliams' Foucauldian-Baudrillardian Dystopias, Brenden Patrick Riley

Honors Theses, 1963-2015

Terry Gilliam's films Brazil and 12 Monkeys are intricate dystopias with bizarre and eye-catching imagery. Using the theories of Michel Foucault and Jean Baudrillard, this thesis divides dystopian narrative into two distinct categories: Power and Technological. Once the boundaries for the categories are established, it becomes evident that Gilliam's masterpieces fit the specifications for both. In creating comprehensive dystopias that address both types of dystopia, Gilliam has opened up spaces for resistence to Baudrillard's hyperreality and even defies the irreversibility that Baudrillard claims is inevitable.

Ordinary Children Extraordinary Legacies: Childhood During The American Civil War, Deborah S. Holder

Theses, Dissertations and Capstones

War heroes do not have to wear uniforms, display meritorious medals for bravery and sacrifice, or voluntarily fight for their country in military regiments. The real heroes are all people touched by conflict. The strategy of war positions the powerful against the powerless, thereby creating an absurd imbalance within society. Hence, ordinary citizens become heroes not by decision but by circumstance; had they a choice, they most certainly would not choose to participate in war. Joseph Heller once said about his war novel: "Catch-22 says that people in power have a right to do to us anything we can't stop …

The Role Of Community In Two Novels By Barbara Kingsolver, Rebecca K. Calwell

Theses, Dissertations and Capstones

Throughout her career, contemporary writer Barbara Kingsolver has written novels that appeal to both readers and critics. Beginning with The Bean Trees in 1988, through Poisonwood Bible in 1998, Kingsolver established herself as a rising star among contemporary writers. In a review of one of the Kingsolver’s books, one critic said, “It seems there is nothing she can’t do” (Smith 3).

Kingsolver sets herself apart from many of her peers in both her style and her themes. Raised in Kentucky, but now living in Arizona, she has a gift for storytelling. Her dialogue is strong, especially in its ability to …
