Seman June 2011 Seman 2 This thesis has been approved by The Honors Tutorial College and the Department of English __________________________ Dr. Carey Snyder Associate Professor, English Thesis Advisor and Director of Studies ___________________________ Dr. Jeremy Webster Dean, Honors Tutorial College Seman 3 Table of Contents Introduction…………………………………………………………………………….4 Chapter One: Transgressive Characters………………………………………………..9 Chapter Two: Idealized Characters…………………………………………………...28 Chapter Three: Female Power in Unusual Places…………………………………….45 Conclusion…………………………………………………………………………....56 Bibliography…………………………………………………………………………..58 Seman 4 Introduction Charles Dickens certainly cannot be considered a participant in a precursory movement towards feminism; in fact, many of Dickens‘s novels uphold traditional ideas about femininity and punish the usurpation of male privilege. In Bleak House, Hard Times, and Great Expectations—the three novels that form the basis of this study—Dickens punishes characters who transgress gender norms (such as Mrs. Jellyby, Louisa, and Mrs. Joe) both through explicit condemnation by the narrator and the adversity that befalls them in the plot. These characters have been created to appear ridiculous, no matter their accomplishments in the community or in the world at large. Yet in these same novels, Dickens presents a socially relevant depiction of female power and agency that subverts the sexism he exhibits in the creation and punishment of other characters.

  • The Birth of BBC Radio 4'S Analysis
    The Birth of BBC Radio 4’s Analysis Hugh Chignell Hugh Chignell (Ph.D., Bournemouth University, 2005) is a Senior Lecturer in the Bournemouth Media School, Bournemouth University, United Kingdom. His research interests include broadcasting history with special reference to radio and radio archives. He is Chair of the (UK) Southern Broadcasting History Group. BBC Radio 4’s ‘Analysis’ was first broadcast in 1970 and represented a striking departure from the tendency to combine news and comment in radio current affairs. It was created by a small network of broadcasters who believed that current affairs was distinct from radio journalism. The publication of the controversial document ‘Broadcasting in the Seventies’ in 1969 and the outcry which followed it gave this group their opportunity to produce an elite form of radio. INTRODUCTION This article attempts to answer a series of very specific questions. Why was the flag ship BBC radio current affairs program, Analysis created when it was? What specific interpretation of ‘current affairs radio’ did it embody and what made its birth possible? And finally, who created it? Drawing mainly on interview evidence and memoirs of former BBC staff it is possible to answer these questions with some precision and to show the broadcasting context (the BBC in the 1960s) in which the conception of Analysis took place. It is not the intention here to describe the specific nature of the program’s account of current affairs or its decidedly right-leaning politics. This is a case study of how two men, George Fischer and Ian McIntyre, saw their opportunity to buck the populist trend in radio and impose their conservative and Reithian broadcasting values in this elitist experiment in current affairs radio.

  • Radio's War Lifeline News New Creative Radio Formats
    1940s Radio’s War With the television service closed for the duration, it was radio’s war and the BBC nearly lost it in the opening skirmishes. Listeners wrote in to complain about the new Home Service, which had replaced the National and Regional programme services. There was criticism of too many organ recitals and public announcements. But the BBC had some secret weapons waiting in the wings. Colonel (‘I don’t mind if I do’) Chinstrap and Mrs (‘Can I do yer now, sir?’) Mopp were just of the two famous characters in Tommy Handley’s It’s That Man Again (ITMA) team. The comedian attracted 16 million listeners each week to the programme. This, and other popular comedy shows like Hi, Gang!, boosted morale during the war. Vera Lynn’s programme Sincerely Yours (dismissed by the BBC Board of Governors with the words: "Popularity noted, but deplored.") won her the title of "Forces’ Sweetheart”. In 1940 the Forces programme was launched for the troops assembling in France. The lighter touch of this new programme was a great success with both the Forces and audiences at home. After the war it was replaced by the Light Programme which was modelled on the Forces Programme. Distinguished correspondents, including Richard Dimbleby, Frank Gillard, Godfrey Talbot and Wynford Vaughan- Thomas, helped to attract millions of listeners every night with War Report, which was heard at the end of the main evening news. We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets…we shall never surrender.
