Voice And Vision In Ronsard's Les Sonnets Pour Hélène, Jean M. Fallon
Voice And Vision In Ronsard's Les Sonnets Pour Hélène, Jean M. Fallon
Books by Hollins Faculty and Staff
"The one hundred forty-six poems which comprise Les Sonnets pour Helene represent Pierre de Ronsard's final cycle of sonnets. This study explores the 1584 edition, the last published during Ronsard's lifetime, and focuses on the harmony and unity of the work as a whole. It enhances our comprehension of the sonnets by examining systems of dualities, the most prominent of which are the voices and discourses of two personas, a lover and a poet. This fresh approach to a sonnet sequence provides insights into the composition and themes of the cycle by interpreting the entire sequence as a text about …

Gender And Social Mobility: A Literary Portrait Of Nineteenth-Century France, Chris Jahnke
Honors Theses, 1963-2015
This project is an analysis of four nineteenth-century French novels (Les Misérables, La Ville Noire, Le Rouge et le Noir, and Madame Bovary) that examines the different processes men and women go through in changing social status.

Optograms And Fiction: Photo In A Dead Man's Eye, Arthur B. Evans
Optograms And Fiction: Photo In A Dead Man's Eye, Arthur B. Evans
Global Language Studies Faculty publications
A popular belief during the late 19th and early 20th century held that the image of the last thing seen at the moment of death remained imprinted forever upon the retina of the eye. It was called an “optogram.” This belief developed concurrently with rapid advances made in photography during the historical period, and was seemingly validated by certain scientific experiments in ocular physiology done in the 1870s. Looking for the “photo in a dead person’s eye” soon became an accepted police investigative procedure and an established touchstone of much turn-of-the-century SF and detective fiction. In later 20 …
