  • '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."

  • The art of resisting the patriarch

    Creator:
    Nasser, Aisha K.
    Abstract:
    This study examines the theme of power in Naguib Mahfouz's The Cairo Trilogy (1956/57).

Decomposition of the toxicant during the tests was measured and held to...
