    FAR HILLS A dissertation presented to the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy Jennifer C. Dunning August 2006 This dissertation entitled FAR HILLS by JENNIFER C. DUNNING has been approved for the Department of English and the College of Arts and Sciences by Darrell K. Spencer Professor of English Benjamin M. Ogles Dean, College of Arts and Sciences Abstract DUNNING, JENNIFER C., Ph.D., August 2006, English FAR HILLS (210 pp.) Director of Thesis: Darrell K. Spencer This dissertation consists of a collection of short stories, many of which foreground the relationship of character to place. A number of the stories are set in Ellisville, Ohio, a fictional town with similarities to Athens and surrounding southeast Ohio towns. The critical introduction explores the use of omniscient narration in contemporary short fiction. Drawing on the ideas of Walter Benjamin, from his essay “The Storyteller,” the introduction considers how the presence of the storyteller’s voice in fiction might shape narrative. Approved: Darrell K. Spencer Professor of English Acknowledgments I would like to thank the Ohio University English Department for the opportunity to spend four years thinking about writing, teaching, and literature. I would especially like to thank Darrell Spencer, Joan Connor, and David Lazar—Darrell, for sharing with me his ideas about stories, for giving me new ways to think about stories; Joan, for her keen insights into story architecture; David, for the gift of the essay. I am grateful to all those people in Ellisville who shared their lives with me (and whose mailing addresses might be Athens, Amesville, Albany, Shade, Ohio) and to the wildflowers and trees and rocks and creatures of southeastern Ohio which, like Ginnie, I can’t yet imagine not living among.

The Little Christmas party is non-formal, highly festive, and themed after Christmas. The Little Christmas parties are held by various communities, organizations, companies, or just among friends. The most traditional Christmas drink is called “glögg” (the Swedish equivalent of the German Glühwein or mulled wine), which can be served with or without alcohol. Glögg, gløgg, glögi and similar words are the terms used for mulled wine in the Nordic countries. This is made of red wine and spiced with cinnamon, ginger, clove, raisins, and almonds, and served warm.

  • Med Livets Rett
    MED LIVETS RETT BERNH. EIDE MED LIVETS RETT Bergens Indremisjon gjennom 100 år Utgitt av BERGENS INDREMISJON 1963 Sats og trykk Sambåndets Trykkeri Bergen 1963 Innbinding Haakon Monsens Bokbinderi Klisjeer A.S Klisjekunst FORORD I styremøte 12/6 1959 ble det vedtatt å utgi en jubileumsbok i anledning av at det i 1963 er 100 år siden Bergens Indremisjon ble stiftet. Styret henvendte seg så til res. kap. Bernhard Eide, med spørs­ mål om han kunne påta seg å skrive boken, og det sa han seg villig til. Styret takker Bernh. Eide for det utmerkede arbeide han har utført. Han har gitt et omfattende, og grundig gjennomarbeidet, historisk tilbakeblikk fra den ringe begynnelse i 1863 og fram til i dag. Og ikke minst takker vi ham for at han har maktet å gjøre historie-boken til interessant lesestoff. Bergens Indremisjons historie gjennom 100 år er et tilbake­ blikk. Her møter vi menn og kvinner som fikk kall fra Gud til misjon blant vårt eget folk. De var tro mot kallet, og gikk fri­ modig til arbeids. Ble de til skamme? Nei. Gud lot arbeidet lykkes. Bergens Indremisjon har gjennom disse 100 år påtatt seg - og løst - mange og store oppgaver, og nye tiltak, til fremme av Guds rike. Således er det flere store ytre-misjonsorganisasjo­ ner som har sine røtter i Bergens Indremisjon. Utallige kvinner og menn er gjennom denne virksomhet blitt vunnet for Guds rike. Mange store og gjennomgripende vekkelser har man fått opp­ leve. Men også mere i det stille har man fått oppleve frukter av arbeidet. Bergens Indremisjon har også drevet et stort kristelig-sosialt arbeide gjennom de 100 år, med timelig og åndelig hjelp til de mange ulykkelige, og til nytte for samfunnet.
