A New Dimension Of Scottishness? Iain Banks, The Algebraist (2004), Martin Procházka
A New Dimension Of Scottishness? Iain Banks, The Algebraist (2004), Martin Procházka
Studies in Scottish Literature
Argues that Iain Banks's experimental science fiction, often disguised as the pop-culture genre of “space opera,” changes the frame of reference for Scottishness, linking it with a plurality of fictitious worlds, presenting the gradual erosion, subversion and deconstruction of the anthropomorphic perspective, to reveal the limitations of humanist ideologies.
Regaining Control: Jenni Fagan, The Panopticon (2012), Marie-Odile Pittin-Hedon
Regaining Control: Jenni Fagan, The Panopticon (2012), Marie-Odile Pittin-Hedon
Studies in Scottish Literature

Jackie Kay, Trumpet (1998), Marie Hologa
Jackie Kay, Trumpet (1998), Marie Hologa
Studies in Scottish Literature
Argues that Kay's acclaimed novel about a celebrated black jazz trumpeter, who is transgender, presents "an alternative construction of masculinity to the stereotypical Scottish 'hard man' of tartan noir, " dealing with "questions of identity that go beyond Scottishness," and unmasking "the emptiness of normative categories like gender, sexuality, ‘race’ and ethnic origins in a postmodern ... society."
Tom Scott As Religious Poet: 'The Paschal Candill' In Context, Richie Mccaffery

Discusses the religious beliefs and writings of the Scottish poet Tom Scott (1918-1995), both as a continuing concern and during a period of explicitly Catholic belief in the 1950, examining in detail his Catholic poem 'The Paschal Candill' in relation to his much more widely-recognized political comments.
Reflections On A Lifetime Of Reading, Frederick W. Guyette Mr.
Reflections On A Lifetime Of Reading, Frederick W. Guyette Mr.
South Carolina Libraries
Here I give an account of my life as a reader. The first books I remember enjoying are those that were read aloud on Captain Kangaroo, such as Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel, The Story about Ping, and Stone Soup. When I was a little older, in school we learned about science and current events from the stories in Weekly Reader. This was followed by an interest in baseball and the sports page in the local newspaper. In high school, I was more interested in films than books, but “visual literacy” has it place in life, …

Ophelia's Reflection, Kelley Kennedy
Ophelia's Reflection, Kelley Kennedy
Senior Theses
This project examines Ophelia's role in the thematic exploration of the nature of the individual self in Shakespeare's Hamlet. First, I discuss the different models of subjectivity and virtue that Ophelia embodies and by which characters around her judge her actions. Her father, Polonius, espouses a form of Renaissance humanism that Shakespeare counters throughout the play. He believes the imitation of noble qualities can affect inner goodness, and he demands Ophelia's obedience of his instructions regarding noble conduct. In contrast, Hamlet locates moral authority within the individual, and he dismisses Polonius' notions of elite selfpresentation as vulgar performances. Both men …
Race, Gender, And Exile In Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises And Baldwin's Giovanni's Room, Abby E. Gould
Race, Gender, And Exile In Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises And Baldwin's Giovanni's Room, Abby E. Gould
Senior Theses
This senior thesis for the South Carolina Honors College conducts a literary analysis of Ernest Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises and James Baldwin’s Giovanni’s Room. Across these two texts, I focus on expatriates, examining the psychological trauma that ensues when they are forced to define their “self” not in terms of where they are, but in terms of who they really are. These challenges to one’s self, I argue, illuminate the complexity of gender and sexual identity as well as the social structures that assign values to certain forms or expressions of masculinity.

Scots Take The Wheel: The Problem Of Period And The Medieval Scots Alliterative Thirteen-Line Stanza, Andrew W. Klein
Scots Take The Wheel: The Problem Of Period And The Medieval Scots Alliterative Thirteen-Line Stanza, Andrew W. Klein
Studies in Scottish Literature
Examines distinctively Scottish forms of the alliterative thirteen-line stanza, best known in standard English surveys from Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, and argues that the stanza has a longer, more varied, independent use in Scottish poetry that should not be treated primarily in terms of English parallels.

'It Is To Pleasure You': Seeing Things In Mackenzie's 'Aretina' (1660), Or, Whither Scottish Prose Fiction Before The Novel?, Rivka Swenson
Studies in Scottish Literature
Examines the early novelistic fiction, Aretina (1660), by the Scottish lawyer Sir George Mackenzie of Rosehaugh (1636-1691), and explores the ways in which it appeals to the senses, so that readers "flesh out the contours of contextualized character according to their own personal predilections."

Barbour’S Black Douglas, David Parkinson
Barbour’S Black Douglas, David Parkinson
Studies in Scottish Literature
A detailed discussion of the representation and characterization of Sir James Douglas ("Black Douglas") in John Barbour's poem The Bruce, examining the ways in which Barbour's Douglas is shown not only as the flower of chivalry, but also as a Robin Hood-like denizen of the woods, and arguing that "in the most highly colored Douglas episodes, Barbour feints toward the outrageous and transgressive," while also experimenting with his poem's literary structure to incorporate disruption or incursions from a disorderly non-courtly world.

The Romance Of Terror: Stevenson's Dynamiter And Verne's Submariner, David Robb
Studies in Scottish Literature
Discusses Robert Louis Stevenson's co-authored novel The Dynamiters (More New Arabian Nights, 1885) in the context of late Victorian bombing campaigns and use of dynamite by Irish Fenians and anarchists, exploring the generic differences between Stevenson's use of romance and Joseph Conrad's The Secret Agent (1907), with extensive comparison between Stevenson's dynamiter Zero and Jules Verne's Captain Nemo in Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea (1869-1870).

'A Thin And Tattered Veil': Lewis Grassic Gibbon And The Church Of Scotland, Ian Campbell
Studies in Scottish Literature
Discusses the changes in Scottish religious practice and adherence from just before the First World War, through to the early 1930s, through the representation of the Church of Scotland in Lewis Grassic Gibbon's Scots Quair trilogy: Sunset Song (1932), Cloud Howe (1933), and Grey Granite (1934), with briefer comment on other writings by the same author writing as J. L. Mitchell. and a final comparison between Gibbon's portrayal of religious change and that in an earlier Scottish novel, John Galt's Annals of the Parish(1821).

Sorley Maclean's Other Clearance Poems, Petra Johana Poncarová
Studies in Scottish Literature
Discusses the treatment of the Highland Clearances, specifically the clearances from his home-island of Raasay, in the work of the Gaelic poet Sorley MacLean (Somhairle MacGill-Eain, 1911-1996), not only in his best-known Clearance poem "Hallaig," but in his prose writings, his major early sequence An Cuilithionn (1939, but not fully published till 2011), and several important shorter poems, “Am Putan Airgid” (“The Silver Button”), “‘Tha na beanntan gun bhruidhinn,’” and (more fully) “Sgreapadal.”
Andrew Lang: A World We Have Lost, William Donaldson
Andrew Lang: A World We Have Lost, William Donaldson
Studies in Scottish Literature
Discusses the career and wide-ranging accomplishments of the Scottish essayist, poet and critic Andrew Lang (1844-1912), author of Myth, Ritual and Religion (2 vols., 1887), arguing that Lang was "an original thinker with a powerful oppositional streak;" reviews his significance for late Victorian anthropology and the studies of religions (including psychical research), and on his work as a translator and classicist, reviewer, ballad scholar, biographer, and Scottish historian, as well as his contribution to children's literature; includes an assessment of a new 2-volume selection of Lang's writing; and concludes that Lang's "virtuosic range" and "slashing keenness of intellect" "contributed significantly …
