Matriarchs, Doves, And Nymphos: Prevalent Images Of Black, Indian, And White Women In Caribbean Literature, Daryl Cumber Dance
Matriarchs, Doves, And Nymphos: Prevalent Images Of Black, Indian, And White Women In Caribbean Literature, Daryl Cumber Dance
English Faculty Publications
Universally, male writers have tended to create images of women which reveal the familiar male tendency to view women merely as functionaries whose role basically is determined by male needs, male motivations, male fears, and male fantasies. When woman is submissive, docile and pure, she is to be protected and revered; then, she is the virgin/goddess. When she is assertive and strong, she is to be avoided and despised; then, she is the bitch/shrew. When she is passionate and active, she is to be resisted and feared; she is the whore/temptress. While this genera] categorizing of women characters carries over …
Hermann Hesse’S 'Siddhartha' As Divine Comedy, Bryan Bardine
Hermann Hesse’S 'Siddhartha' As Divine Comedy, Bryan Bardine
English Faculty Publications
Comedy has always been more difficult to define and pin down than tragedy. Part of the difficulty may be that comedy is, by its very nature, more protean than tragedy: comedy often takes delight in breaking the rules. Moreover, tragedy has been so memorably described in The Poetics that Aristotle may have unintentionally molded the shape of tragedy through the ages. There are different kinds of tragedy, to be sure, but they are usually variations of a similar theme and form. Perhaps because Aristotle's treatise on comedy has been lost, comedy was left free to develop in numerous ways. In …

Résumé, Fred G. Leebron
Résumé, Fred G. Leebron
English Faculty Publications
I sat at the back of a pale classroom and watched my father teach. "Creative Inspiration," my father lectured, "is what you have as soon as you are born and the doctor slaps you on your bottom. That first cry, because you're hungry or tired or just glad to be breathing, is your first creative inspiration." I leaned back in my chair to ease the heat rising in my face. "Incidentally," my father said, grinning at the under graduates, "I've read the Sexual Harassment pamphlet, and I want you all to know I don't slap bottoms." [excerpt]

Smith Wells: Stagecoach Inn On The Nine Mile Road, H. Bert Jenson
Smith Wells: Stagecoach Inn On The Nine Mile Road, H. Bert Jenson
English Faculty Publications
By THE MIDDLE OF THE NINETEENTH CENTURY the forging furnaces of western expansionism had wrought a tough breed of pioneers who were making their way into the Uintah Basin of eastern Utah. As early as October 3, 1861, the date President Lincoln established the Uintah Indian Reservation in that area, some white settlers were circumscribed by reservation boundaries. Other whites followed to establish trading posts among the Utes and to perform government service in connection with the newly named Indian lands.

Reading The Endings In Katherine Anne Porter's "Old Mortality", Suzanne W. Jones
Reading The Endings In Katherine Anne Porter's "Old Mortality", Suzanne W. Jones
English Faculty Publications
With these final sentences of "Old Mortality" (1937), Katherine Anne Porter qualifies the progress eighteen-year-old Miranda has made toward self-knowledge and sophisticated reading strategies. This long story is a bildungsroman of sorts, tracing Miranda's development from childhood to young adulthood, but focusing particularly on her apprenticeship as a reader. Porter links Miranda's quest for self-discovery with her attempts to determine fact from fiction in the stories her family tells about the love affairs, brief marriage, and early death of her beautiful Aunt Amy. By dismissing both her father's romantic legend and her Cousin Eva's feminist critique as untrue--by focusing on …
Family Secrets And The Mysteries Of The Moonstone, Elisabeth Rose Gruner
Family Secrets And The Mysteries Of The Moonstone, Elisabeth Rose Gruner
English Faculty Publications
Theorists of detective fiction usually discuss the genre’s interest in the discovery and expulsion of a crime, perceived as a foreign element which has invaded a secure community or family. While this tendency is apparent in The Moonstone, one of the genre’s founding texts, a contradictory impulse runs equally strongly through the novel, one with profound implications for the security of the Victorian family. For The Moonstone is, to a great extent, motivated by an impulse to secrecy, not to tell, to cover up family’s complicity in crime. Franklin Blake’s editorial strategy seems designed to this end: he has …
Self And Other In Sf: Alien Encounters, Carl D. Malmgren
Self And Other In Sf: Alien Encounters, Carl D. Malmgren
English Faculty Publications
Alien-encounter Science Fiction involves the introduction of sentient alien beings into the actantial system of the fictional universe; one or more of the actants are nonhuman or superhuman or subhuman. By staging a confrontation between an alien actant and a terran representative, alien-encounter Science Fiction broaches the question of Self and the Other. The reader recuperates this fiction by comparing human and alien entities, measuring the Self by examining the Other. Alien encounters can be discriminated according to the extent to which the alien actant adheres to or departs from anthropocentric norms; in simple terms, we can distinguish between "human …

Swift, Comedy, Evidentiality, Gene Washington
English Faculty Publications
Examines the relationship between the comedy of Swift's A Tale of a Tub, the role of the speaker and satire on modern literature.

The Revolutions In Knowledge And Literary Theory: Their Impact On English Classrooms, Nancy Topping Bazin
The Revolutions In Knowledge And Literary Theory: Their Impact On English Classrooms, Nancy Topping Bazin
English Faculty Publications
Since teachers, scholars, and scientists began in recent decades to study people who were previously marginalized or totally ignored, revolutions have occurred in knowledge and in literary theories and criticism. An increasing number of literature teachers acknowledge that they cannot ignore these significant changes. Indeed, they recognize that because of multicultural and global awareness, new questions are constantly being asked, new kinds of research are being done, and new approaches are being t:iken to subject matter.
