I would like to thank the libraries which Hale selected to catalogue and preserve the extensive personal and professional writings of her long career. The archive librarians provided expert assistance in directing me to the resources I required in both The University of Virginia Special Collections and the Sophia Smith Collection at Smith College. I am particularly grateful to Maida Goodwin at Smith for sharing her knowledge of the extensive contents of the Hale family papers as well as her delightful insights into the remarkable family. Many people provided encouragement and support throughout the research and writing of this dissertation. Dr. Bryant Mangum was unstinting with his time and expertise in his role as my dissertation director. The interdisciplinary nature of this work allowed me to reap the benefits of a committee from varied fields of accomplishment. Dr. Eric Garberson‘s art historical advice was critical in the examination of the work of Lilian Westcott Hale. Thanks also go to Dr. David Latané, Dr. Gretchen Soderlund, and Dr. Judy VanSlyke Turk. This dissertation is the first to emerge from the new Ph.D. program in Media, Art, and Text, and the program‘s director, Dr. Marcel Cornis-Pope, provided wise counsel and a spirit of optimism for which I am especially grateful. I am appreciative of the grants provided by Virginia Commonwealth University during my coursework and the Dissertation Writing Grant which supported my later work. Smith iii College provided a travel grant for my early research and a Caroline D. Bain Scholar-in- Residence Fellowship which will allow the continuation of my work on the Hale family‘s artists. Many friends and members of the Hale family shared their memories: Anne Freeman, Edward Kessler, Martin and Ruthe Battestin, Maida Goodwin, Shelah Scott, William Wertenbaker, Janelle Morton, Mary Welby von Thelen, and John Beebe. My sisters provided valuable assistance in their own fields of expertise: Janelle Hardin Morton as an editor, and Mary Welby von Thelen as the technological system support which such a large project demanded. The emotional encouragement of all of these people went beyond the usual scope required by such an effort. The illnesses and deaths of my mother and my son during this program required particularly strong shoulders for support. My husband Tom Lind was unwavering and uncomplaining. He and my daughter Mary Clark Lind assumed many of my customary duties, and they tolerated the tremendous demands on my time with love and good humor. This dissertation is dedicated to my family: my husband Tom Lind, my daughter Mary Clark Lind, and my sisters Janelle and Mary Welby. They gave love and comfort through the events which sadly provide the second part of my dedication: in loving memory of my father Mark Hardin, my mother Kitty Hardin, and my son Carter Lind. I know they would be proud of this accomplishment as would my grandmother, Nancy Hale. iv Table of Contents List of Abbreviations……………………………………………………………………...Error! Bookmark not defined.

  • A Comparative Study of Gustave Flaubert's Madame Bovary
    A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF GUSTAVE FLAUBERT'S MADAME BOVARY AND EMILE ZOLA'S THERESE-RAQUIN A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF ATLANTA UNIVERSITY IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS BY ALSYLVIA SMITH DEPARTMENT OF FRENCH ATLANTA, GEORGIA JUNE 1969 w TABLE OF CONTENTS Page PREFACE Chapter I. INTRODUCTION 1 II. A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF MADAME BOVARY 27 III. A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF THERESE-RAQUIN 56 CONCLUSION 77 BIBLIOGRAPHY 86 ii PREFACE The purpose of this study is to analyze Gustave Flaubert's Madame Bovarv and Emile Zola's Therese-Raquin and to point out the similari ties and differences between the two works. In order to make a com parison between these two works, a critical analysis will be made of each work, placing emphasis on the theme, style, and character develop ment. Although Madame Bovarv is a Realistic novel while TheVese-Requin is a Naturalistic novel, there still remains a great deal of similarity between the two literary works. Since Flaubert was the leader of the Realist school and Zola was the leader of the Naturalist school, it was felt that a comparative study of a representative work of each au thor would contribute to a better appreciation of these two phases of the nineteenth century novel. This study is divided into three chapters. The first chapter serves as an introduction and includes a biographical sketch of each author and vital details concerning their milieu. Chapter two consists of an analysis of Madame Bovarv. In Chapter three will be presented an analysis of Therese-Raquin.

  • Representations of the Female Nude by American
    © COPYRIGHT by Amanda Summerlin 2017 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED BARING THEMSELVES: REPRESENTATIONS OF THE FEMALE NUDE BY AMERICAN WOMEN ARTISTS, 1880-1930 BY Amanda Summerlin ABSTRACT In the late nineteenth century, increasing numbers of women artists began pursuing careers in the fine arts in the United States. However, restricted access to institutions and existing tracks of professional development often left them unable to acquire the skills and experience necessary to be fully competitive in the art world. Gendered expectations of social behavior further restricted the subjects they could portray. Existing scholarship has not adequately addressed how women artists navigated the growing importance of the female nude as subject matter throughout the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. I will show how some women artists, working before 1900, used traditional representations of the figure to demonstrate their skill and assert their professional statuses. I will then highlight how artists Anne Brigman’s and Marguerite Zorach’s used modernist portrayals the female nude in nature to affirm their professional identities and express their individual conceptions of the modern woman. ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I could not have completed this body of work without the guidance, support and expertise of many individuals and organizations. First, I would like to thank the art historians whose enlightening scholarship sparked my interest in this topic and provided an indispensable foundation of knowledge upon which to begin my investigation. I am indebted to Kirsten Swinth's research on the professionalization of American women artists around the turn of the century and to Roberta K. Tarbell and Cynthia Fowler for sharing important biographical information and ideas about the art of Marguerite Zorach.

    National Gallery of Art NATIONAL GALLERY OF ART ONLINE EDITIONS American Paintings, 1900–1945 Emmet, Lydia Field American, 1866 - 1952 William Merritt Chase, Lydia Field Emmet, 1892, oil on canvas, Brooklyn Museum, Gift of the Artist, 15.316 BIOGRAPHY Lydia Field Emmet led a remarkably successful artistic career spanning more than 50 years. She is best known as a painter of portraits, particularly of children. Emmet was born in New Rochelle, New York, into a family of female artists. Her mother, Julia Colt Pierson Emmet, her sisters Rosina Emmet Sherwood and Jane Emmet de Glehn, and her cousin Ellen Emmet Rand were all painters. Lydia Emmet’s talent (and enterprise) was apparent early, as she began selling illustrations at the age of 14. In 1884 she accompanied Rosina to Europe, and they studied at the Académie Julian in Paris for six months. During the late 1880s Emmet sold wallpaper designs, made illustrations for Harper’s Weekly, and created stained glass designs for Tiffany Glass Company. From 1889 to 1895 Emmet studied at the Art Students League, where her instructors included William Merritt Chase (American, 1849 - 1916) and Kenyon Cox (American, 1856 - 1919). Chase appointed her an instructor at his Shinnecock Summer School of Art on Long Island, where she taught preparatory classes for several terms. Emmet also posed for one of his most elegant portraits, now in the collection of the Brooklyn Museum. Emmet, Lydia Field 1 © National Gallery of Art, Washington National Gallery of Art NATIONAL GALLERY OF ART ONLINE EDITIONS American Paintings, 1900–1945 In 1893 both Emmet and her sister Rosina painted murals for the Women’s Building at the World’s Fair in Chicago.

  • Nancy Hale Bibliography
    Nancy Hale: A Bibliography Introduction Despite a writing career spanning more than a half century and marked by an extensive amount of published material, no complete listing exists of the works of Nancy Hale. Hale is recognized for capturing both the mentality of a certain level of woman and the aura of a period, glimpsed in three distinctly different areas of the country: Boston, New York, and the South. The three locations are autobiographical, drawing first on the New England of Hale’s birth in 1908 where she remained for her first twenty years, followed by nearly a decade in New York City while she pursued her career, and eventually shifting during the late 1930s to Virginia where she remained for the rest of her life. Those three locales that she understood so well serve exclusively as backdrops for her fiction throughout her long career. Childhood years are always critical to what we become, and Hale’s background figures prominently in her life and her writing. She slipped, an only child, into a distinguished line of New England forebears, marked by the illustrious patriot Nathan Hale and including such prominent writers as grandfather Edward Everett Hale, author of “The Man Without a Country,” and great aunts Harriet Beecher Stowe (Uncle Tom’s Cabin) and Lucretia Peabody Hale (The Peterkin Papers). Her heritage connects her solidly to America’s literary beginnings and repeatedly shapes her own writings, resulting eventually in a publisher’s invitation to edit the significant literature of New England, which results in A New England Discovery. The second geographical site in which Hale sets her fiction, again affords a sensitive representation of an era and its players.
