Abstract:: Creative nonfiction is a genre replete with contradictions--the name itself shows that: nonfiction writing is true and factual, but creative writing is imaginative and inventive.

Discovering Antigone: A Non-Normative Political Figure

Creator:: Patten, Jennifer A.
Abstract:: This thesis analyzes Sophocles’ classic Greek tragedy Antigone as it relates to biopolitics, biopower, democratic language and non-normative principles of politics.

Wild nature or the garden : conservation themes in the forests of Tarzan and Herland/Ourland

Creator:: Davis, Caryn M.
Abstract:: At first glance, Edgar Rice Burroughs's wildly popular romantic fantasy novel, Tarzan of the Apes (1912), and Charlotte Perkins Gilman's feminist science fiction-utopian novel, Herland (1915), with its dystopian companion, With Her in Ourland (1916), may appear to have little in common.

Our Moral Educators : Educational Debate and Representations of Teachers in the Mid-Century Victorian Novel
