Archived Theses and Dissertations
This thesis is a comparative study of alienation. It provides an analysis of the different ways in which the Czech writer, Franz Kafka, and the South African writer, J.M.

Chasing Demons: Female Villains And Narrative Strategy In Victorian Sensation Fiction, Heather Sowards
Theses, Dissertations and Capstones
This thesis explores Victorian sensation fiction and key authors who rely on essentialism, employing the classifications of either angel or demon to their literary female figures.
