Rough On A Tangent, Cynthia Wynne Wooley
English Language and Literature ETDs
Rough on a Tangent is a novel which charts the progress of Rita, a novice detective in Los Angeles, as she follows her first real investigation to Madrid and back. The case concerns her housemate, Kurt, who gets involved with a spiritual cult which is using a new form of biochemical warfare to gain power.

The Anglican Clergy In The Novels Of Barbara Pym, Isabel Ashe Bonnyman Stanley
The Anglican Clergy In The Novels Of Barbara Pym, Isabel Ashe Bonnyman Stanley
Doctoral Dissertations
Barbara Pym, a mid twentieth-century British novelist of manners, peoples her twelve novels and shorter works with Anglican clergymen and the "excellent women" of a certain age who are their parishoners. This study examines the development of clerical types in her novels, shows how these types are descended from earlier writers such as Jane Austen, the Brontës and Anthony Trollope and traces the fortunes of the mid twentieth-century Anglican Church in her work.
My research was facilitated by having access to Barbara Pym's letters, journals and personal papers in the Bodleian Library, Oxford, and by having the opportunity to interview …

The Southern Misfit And The Dream Of Escape In The Fiction Of Carson Mccullers And Flannery O’Connor, Tammy Oberhausen
The Southern Misfit And The Dream Of Escape In The Fiction Of Carson Mccullers And Flannery O’Connor, Tammy Oberhausen
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
The misfit and the dream of escape are popular motifs in American literature, particularly in the literature of the South. Critical studies of works employing these themes have largely ignored the connection between the two. The Southern misfit – the Southerner who fails to or refuses to conform to his society’s strict standards – often dreams of escaping the restrictions of the South for some Northern “promised land.” In the works of two Georgia writers, Carson McCullers and Flannery O’Connor, the related themes receive different treatments. Carson McCullers’s misfits in the novels The Heart is a Lonely Hunter and The …

Immortal Horrors And Everlasting Splendours: C.S. Lewis' Screwtape Letters And The Great Divorce, Douglas Loney
Mythlore: A Journal of J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Charles Williams, and Mythopoeic Literature
Sees Screwtape and The Great Divorce as constituting “something like a sub-genre within the Lewis canon.” Both have explicit religious intention, were written during WWII, and use a “rather informal, episodic structure.” Analyzes the different perspectives of each work, and their treatment of the themes of Body and Spirit, Time and Eternity, and Love.
The Mines Of Mendip And Of Moria, J. S. Ryan

Considers J.W. Gough’s book on the Mendip Hills mines (beginning in the Roman period) as a source for Tolkien’s depiction of Moria. Compares passages in Gould to descriptions of Moria, and suggests the Cornish miners as “loose historical equivalents” of Tolkien’s dwarves. Maps.
