Gender, History, And Nature In Sarah Orne Jewett’S Country Of The Pointed Firs, Sarah Hamelin

Maine History

Sarah Orne Jewett's beautifully crafted stories of life on the Maine coast helped make this section of our state a nationally recognized landscape icon. Her characters, however; are not what we would expect to find in a state renowned for male-dominated pursuits like deep-sea fishing, logging, and river-driving. Jewett's people— the inhabitants of Dunnet Landing—are generally old and female. Jn describing them, she presents us with a picture of coastal life as a gentlewoman’s world. Jewett accents gender and age by setting her characters against a backdrop of nature and history. Sarah Hamelin is a student at the University of …

Ultimately sold to a French missionary and taken to Quebec, she converted to Catholicism, entered the Ursuline convent, and rose to become their first and last English-born Mother Superior. Her biographers have seen Esther Wheelwright/Mother Esther de L’Enfant Jesus as a passive instrument of religion and politics and have rendered her nothing more than an antiquarian curiosity. This study instead explores how her ability to cross many borders— national, religious, and linguistic—enabled Mother Esther to become both an …

Emily Greene Balch: Crusader For Peace And Justice, Tara S. Lambert

Theses, Dissertations and Capstones

Emily Greene Balch was the second American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize and worked throughout her lifetime to better the world for her fellow humans. As one who was shaped by the Progressive Movement in both character and action, she has nonetheless never received the historical spotlight given to other workers of her time such as Jane Addams. A survivor of protest against war, she has been virtually ignored despite her many activities and writings on behalf of peace, suffrage, and social reform. Even Mercedes M. Randall, who wrote the only biography of Balch, fails to fully examine …
