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

Creator:: McGrory, Suzette L.

Confessing Ireland : the colonial politics of Irish Catholicism in James Joyce's A portrait of the artist as a young man

Creator:: Rathert, Gregory S.

Breeding the new woman : the eugenic discourse of motherhood in Shaw, Yeats, and Lawless

The Legend of the Three Living and the Three Dead : The Development of the Macabre in Late Medieval England

Creator:: Sandeno, Robin M.
Abstract:: Many authorities state that the development of macabre images were a result of the plague that first swept through western Europe 1347-1350.
