The Planet Of Scientists: A Fable, Joe R. Christopher

Gravity's Rainbow: Modernist Discourse Vineland: Postmodernist Discourse, Ted Mouw Jan 1990

Gravity's Rainbow: Modernist Discourse Vineland: Postmodernist Discourse, Ted Mouw

Honors Papers

To locate Gravity's Rainbow as a postmodern text within modernist discourse is probably sort of an odd thing. Obviously, the books' thematic depictions of linguistic colonialism and discourse of control (capitalism), suggest the inscription of power relations into formulations of truth and rationality, and a postmodern analysis of discursive operations and hierarchies. Yet, I want to stress here the ways in which we have been oriented to access and reproduce the text through modernist discourse.

Freya’s Tears: Why must you go, Od?" Freyja's voice was plaintive as, hugging her knees, she sat up on the bearskin rug where they had spent the night. Loki Bound: “Hurry, woman, hurry”!

Nothing More Real Than Nothing: The Unnamable As Self-Annihilating Fiction, Shawn Rosenheim Jan 1983

Nothing More Real Than Nothing: The Unnamable As Self-Annihilating Fiction, Shawn Rosenheim

Honors Papers

Nature abhors nothing; it is the mind which cannot bear to live in a state of suspension, in absence, in a vacuum. The very existence of fiction testifies to man's need for intricate models through which he may fashion and explore his life. In the last eighty years, a great deal of research has been devoted to discovering the ways in which fictions are structured; the ways, that is, in which literature replaces chaos not with content, but with form; with elaborate verbal webs that hold in abeyance the hollow of life without language. Russian formalism, mythcriticism like Northrop Frye's, …


A Synthesis Of Theme And Style: "Prelude" As A Turning Point In The Fiction Of Katherine Mansfield, Peggy Orenstein Jan 1983

A Synthesis Of Theme And Style: "Prelude" As A Turning Point In The Fiction Of Katherine Mansfield, Peggy Orenstein

Honors Papers

Katherine Mansfield's contribution to modern British fiction has been virtually ignored in recent years; the two major periods of critical attention to her work were in the 1920's (right after her death) and the early 1950's. Critics of both groups have given extensive consideration to Mansfield's experimentation--independent of Virginia Woolf and James Joyce--with interior monologue, shifting narrative perspective and moments of revelation However, analyses of Mansfield have predominantly ignored her concerns as a woman writer. Mansfield examines women's roles and women's sexuality in nearly all of her stories; she probes women's circumstances from their own perspective and shows the effect …

Social Problems In The Fiction Of Benjamin Disraeli, Harriet Uhler Simpson Feb 1944

Social Problems In The Fiction Of Benjamin Disraeli, Harriet Uhler Simpson

English Language and Literature ETDs

The main purpose of this study is to present the political and social ideas which Benjamin Disraeli expressed through his fiction. His novels have been said to be a means whereby Disraeli clarified his ideas in his own mind before he attempted direct political or practical action. Since Disraeli was a statesman as well as a novelist, the question of whether or not, or to what extent, Disraeli's ideas were put into action is a more valid question, perhaps, than in the case of any other English author.
