    Sound, Gender, Individual Will, and the Body in Nineteenth-Century British Literature A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Jennifer Baltzer-Lovato IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Advised by Andrew Elfenbein May 2017 © Jennifer Baltzer-Lovato, 2017 i Acknowledgements I gratefully acknowledge my adviser Andrew Elfenbein for his patience, encouragement, persistence in pushing me forward when I was more inclined to slowly obsess over each obstacle, and most of all, for his willingness to share his exhaustive knowledge and expertise. I am also thankful to the other members of my committee; to Brian Goldberg for his supportive, but always candid feedback, as well as his helpful suggestions, always administered with a much-needed dose of humor; to John Watkins, for encouraging me to explore new areas of inquiry, and for his willingness to help me talk through problem issues, from teaching to writing and research; and to Elaine Auyoung for her readiness to give advice and assistance in the late stages of my project. I also want to thank Gordon Hirsch for his patience and wisdom, and his good- natured support even when I was disposed to panic. Thank you also to Joe Hughes, Richard Leppert, Anna Clark, Michael Hancher, and all the members of the University of Minnesota 18th and 19th Century Subfield, for their assistance and advice as I developed material for this dissertation. Thank you also to the British Women Writers Conference, for their stimulating support of adventurous scholarly pursuits, and for all of the helpful comments and advice at the conferences I was fortunate enough to participate in with them.

  • Precious Nonsense NEWSLETTER of the MIDWESTERN GILBERT and SULLIVAN SOCIETY May 1995 -- Issue 45 * * * * * at Last We Have Arrived at Our Destination
    Precious Nonsense NEWSLETTER OF THE MIDWESTERN GILBERT AND SULLIVAN SOCIETY May 1995 -- Issue 45 * * * * * At last we have arrived at our destination. As is invariably the case, it's been one thing after another lately. This time, the uneven power supply at the house screwed up the original computer text file of this issue three days before it was due to go to press, so it had to be recreated from scratch. Anyhow, this is what we've got so far. There is plenty of other things to go through (a year and a half of back issues of newsletters from other societies, some synopses of "new" G&S operas, and a good three-inch stack of G&S-related works and materials that need to be compiled), so S/A Cole has her work cut out for her. Don't let that keep you from keeping in touch, though: as she said in the last Nonsense, she needs to hear voices to get motivated to work. This time around, we've got synopses of a number of Gilbert's and Sullivan's non-collaborations by Arthur Robinson, the answers to the 1994 Big Quiz, along with the 1995 Big Quiz, some interesting articles (we could use some more things along that line, but be that as it may), and such. Incidentally, plans for the Annual Outing are, very kindly, being handled by Lorna and Norman Vogt. At this point, it looks like we might be going to the Savoy-Aires' Mikado, but we'll let you know what happens when arrangements are finalized.
