Distributed Authorship: A Feminist Case-Study Framework For Studying Intellectual Property, Sarah Robbins
Distributed Authorship: A Feminist Case-Study Framework For Studying Intellectual Property, Sarah Robbins
Faculty and Research Publications
To probe one case of free-ranging textual circulation, and to address issues associated with producers' rights to textual ownership and authorial credit, Robbins examines the Americanized versions of British writer Anna Barbauld's Lessons for children. Robin states that examining multiple specific cases of distributed authorship, and linking them to contemporary textual ownership issues, may well lead to nuanced extensions of the basic framework for understanding intellectual property that pioneers in the field have already formulated.
Guenevere's Conflict: Pagan Love Or Christian Ethics, Jacquelyn Sweeney Johnson
Guenevere's Conflict: Pagan Love Or Christian Ethics, Jacquelyn Sweeney Johnson
Theses & Honors Papers
This thesis examines the character of Guenevere in the broader, historical story of King Arthur. Analyzing newer, pagan, and feminist interpretations of her character as opposed to her original characterization in the Christian tale, it discusses the changes made in reinterpretation, especially as it relates to her relationship with Sir Lancelot.

Chasing Demons: Female Villains And Narrative Strategy In Victorian Sensation Fiction, Heather Sowards
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. Using Nina Auerbach's theories on these above categorizations and Helene Cixous's linguistic binaries, I examine the ways in which the narrators of Mary Elizabeth Braddon's Lady Audley's Secret, Sheridan Le Fanu's Uncle Silas, and Wilkie Collins's Heart and Science force this taxonomy onto the female villains who dominate the novels' themes. By looking closely at the narrative strategies, I conclude that these female characters themselves are proposing a very different sense of self or …
Jane Austen's Powers Of Consciousness, Diane M. Counts
Jane Austen's Powers Of Consciousness, Diane M. Counts
Theses, Dissertations and Capstones
This thesis incorporates information from recent biographies, feminist studies, and scholarly interpretations focusing on Jane Austen's narrative strategies. Such incorporation of material provides a context for understanding the significance of Austen's contributions to the novel form and illuminating the development of the female narrative voice. It focuses on Emma, Austen's last novel published during her lifetime, as an exemplification of Austen's enunciation of a feminine perspective of life and vocalization of a growing female self-awareness - her powers of consciousness - through Emma. Of primary concern is Austen's use of narrative techniques enabling the reader to become intimately acquainted and …

Sexual Slander And Working Women In "The Roaring Girl", Mario Digangi
Sexual Slander And Working Women In "The Roaring Girl", Mario Digangi
Publications and Research
Though scholarship of the early modern era focuses on the character of Moll Frith when considering the gender ideology contained in Thomas Middleton and Thomas Dekker's "The Roaring Girl," the play's other female characters are also of interest. The "citizen wives" of the play are women who, though married, work outside the home. Their special status in the emerging capitalist marketplace of the early modern era gave rise to unique anxieties about their economic power and sexual availability. These anxieties in turn made these women especially susceptible to slander against their sexual reputation and thus respectability in the community. An …
