  • 'That life of commonplace sacrifices' : representations of womanhood in Irish Catholic culture in James Joyce's Dubliners

    Creator:
    McGrory, Suzette L.
    Abstract:
    Traditional interpretations of James Joyce's Dubliners have often focused on the pervasive "paralysis" of the city, covered in the stories' range of "childhood, adolescence, maturity, and public life." However, these approaches have limited their focus on the women in the stories, often spotlighting the male characters--and the author--through a Freudian...

  • Gender, genre, and the canon : teaching Aemilia Lanyer

    Creator:
    Jurgens, Jeremy
    Abstract:
    Traditionally, Renaissance studies have neglected or overlooked the contributions of early modern female poets, many of whom produced lively, engaging, and highly creative work despite the limitations imposed on them by a rigidly patriarchal society. In my thesis, I examine the life and work of Aemilia Lanyer, a 17th century...

  • "Born of ourselves" : gendered doubling and the femme fatale in Vernon Lee's ghost stories

    Creator:
    Delf, Liz
    Abstract:
    This thesis examines the characterization of the femme fatale and the implications of this trope for late-Victorian gender and sexuality in the ghost stories of female aesthete Vernon Lee.
