The Tutorial Of Torture: Finding Out The Awful Truth In That Hideous Strength And 1984, John R. Reilly Jan 1997

The Tutorial Of Torture: Finding Out The Awful Truth In That Hideous Strength And 1984, John R. Reilly

Mythlore: A Journal of J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Charles Williams, and Mythopoeic Literature

Contends That Hideous Strength and 1984 have the same theme, “that an objective view of morality is necessary for worthy human life.” Notes “similarities between the didactic devices which the authors employ,” such as Belbury/Oceania and Studdock/Winston, especially in their torture/ indoctrination. The biggest difference is in the resolution of both novels.

Aboriginality And English : Report To The Australian Research Council, Ian G. Malcolm, Marek M. Koscielecki Jan 1997

Aboriginality And English : Report To The Australian Research Council, Ian G. Malcolm, Marek M. Koscielecki

Research outputs pre 2011

The relation of aboriginality to English has important implications for communication between Aborigines and other Australians, and especially for the education of Aboriginal and other Australian children within a context of reconciliation.

The investigation of which this is the final report derives from the assumptions that Aboriginal English has been maintained at least in part because of its function' as a bearer of aboriginality and that, by exploring the nature of the distinctiveness of this dialect and the historical circumstances of its formation and ongoing development we may better understand how to provide appropriately for the communicative and educational needs …


Unwilling Accents : Reading Percy Bysshe Shelley’S Julian And Maddalo, Melody Ann Wilson Jan 1997

Unwilling Accents : Reading Percy Bysshe Shelley’S Julian And Maddalo, Melody Ann Wilson

Dissertations and Theses

Most of the critical readings to date of Shelley's Julian and Maddalo have relied on the biographical elements of the poem. No doubt valid, these readings might have diverted attention from other elements of what might well be one of Shelley's most important poems.

Julian and Maddalo is the first of a projected series of four poems which Shelley never completed. lt does, however, participate in a group of poems linked thematically- if not consciously. These poems consist of Julian and Maddalo, "Ode to the West Wind," and "To a Sky-Lark." Each of these poems explores the notion of the …

Charlotte Dacre’S Zofloya: A Case Study In Miscegenation As Racial And Sexual Nausea, Diane Hoeveler

when she was 24 years old (or so she claimed) and the beautiful toast of London literary circles. Her first novel. The Confessions of the Nun of St. Omer, was written when she was eighteen (or 28, depending on what biographical source one credits) and in the grip of an infatuation with the excessive gothicism of Lewis' The Monk} Dacre's novels by 1809 were ridiculed as "lovely ROSA's prose" by Byron, who went on to mock the novels as "prose in masquerade/Whose strains, the faithful echoes of her mind,/Leave wondering comprehension far behind" (English Bards and Scotch Reviewers, 756-58). Despite …

An Examination Of Biography In Possession By A.S. Byatt And Dickens By Peter Ackroyd, Sylvia Mcleod Jan 1997

An Examination Of Biography In Possession By A.S. Byatt And Dickens By Peter Ackroyd, Sylvia Mcleod

Theses: Doctorates and Masters

This thesis is an examination of Possession by A.S. Byatt and Dickens by Peter Ackroyd, and aims to contribute to the Poetics of biography. Although there has been a paucity of literature about biography until the latter part of the twentieth century, a growing number of writings, by biographers and scholars, reflects the interest in developing a body of theory of the biography genre. My thesis is a part of this initiative. The two works which I have chosen for this project are critiques of biography, albeit from different perspectives. Possession is a novel which narrativises issues of biography, while …


A Whole Range Of Women, Marianne Hartz Jan 1997

A Whole Range Of Women, Marianne Hartz

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

A Whole Range of Women is a novel which challenges prevalent notions about the value of many kinds of female creativity. At the beginning of the story, one of the main characters is sculpting a collection of famous North American women. She soon decides she would rather celebrate the creativity exhibited by women in their daily lives. The development of this idea is one of the main themes of the novel. The central focus of each chapter alternates between the lives of three female characters: the above-mentioned sculptor; an English professor who specializes in African-American literature; and, a history professor …
