Travelling is associated with discovering new places, getting to know people and cultures, gaining experience, sometimes also pursuing a goal along winding and difficult paths. At other times, travel becomes an end in itself; it can be a way of life in which movement and change are core values. Not all journeys presented in this volume serve the purpose of recreation. Some were caused by oppressive conditions and threats to life and livelihood, which result in emigration, alienation and sacrifices that leave their mark on many generations. An inseparable ele- ment of travelling is the risk taken by the explorer. However, as the present- ed collection of articles confirms, journeys often become a creative impulse that leads to discovering oneself and one’s own culture in contact with the people one meets, with their customs and the places one gets to know. In the articles collected in this volume, the wanderer, the thrill seeker, and finally the tourist is, above all, a woman. While travelling, she charts 14 Postscriptum Polonistyczne, 2021 • 1 (27) new paths, directions, and prospects. The woman traveller often crosses various boundaries – of rooms, houses, regions, countries, continents, worlds, as well as established patterns and stereotypes. Equipped with a suitcase and all the travel essentials, including a pen and notebook, she sets out on a quest. To a large extent, the authors of the texts collected in this volume as well as the objects of their study are women as well: they are writers, researchers, creators, explorers, pioneers full of passion and grit. When in 1928 Virginia Woolf published A Room of One’s Own, she made a compelling argument for the place of women in the male-domi- nated literary world. To forge their own space among the Wordsworths, Byrons, and Shelleys, Woolf wrote, women need the reassuring materi- ality of a steady income and a room, and the independence that comes with them. What is even more important, the room,

AGES Software Rio, WI USA Version 1.0 © 2000 2 Delancey William Heathcote, D.D., bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the diocese of Western New York, was born in Westchester County, N. Y., Oct. 8, 1797; graduated at Yale College in 1817, and was ordained deacon in 1819. His first ministerial labor was given to Grace Church, New York, of which he was in charge during the vacancy of the rectorship which preceded that of the Rev. Dr. Wainwright. He then officiated for a short time in the newly- organized parish of St. Thomas’s, Mamaroneck. Having been advanced to the priesthood on March 6, 1822, in Trinity Church, New York, he removed to the city of Philadelphia, where he became an assistant minister of the united churches of Christ Church, St. Peter’s, and St. James’s, of which bishop White was then rector. In 1828 he was appointed Provost of the University of Pennsylvania. In 1833 he became assistant minister of St. Peter’s Church of Philadelphia, and in 1837 rector. When the diocese of New York was divided in 1838, Dr. Delancey was elected the first bishop of the new diocese of Western New York.

    GENERIC AND MORAL AMBIGUITY IN ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON’S MÄRCHEN by Toni L. Thibodeaux A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in English Middle Tennessee State University May 2019 Thesis Committee: Dr. Rebecca King, Thesis Director Dr. Martha Hixon, Reader Soli Deo gloria ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I want to first thank my thesis director, Dr. Rebecca King, the first person who showed genuine interest in my project. Her encouragement kept me going when I became discouraged and her guidance has made me a better writer. I would also like to thank Dr. Martha Hixon, the person who inspired my scholarly interest in fairy tales. Thank you, Rima and Alexis. You were first colleagues and now you are friends. Thank you to my mother and father who always thought I could do whatever I put my mind to. Mom, thank you for taking such good care of my kids. My kids, those who are already adults and those who are still children, have suffered long and sometimes patiently while Mom was working. I love all of you. I thank my husband David, without whom I would not have attended much less succeeded in graduate school. He insisted that I could do it, and he encouraged me to accept the assistantship. He even learned to cook and wash a few dishes through the whole process. Thank you, Love, for everything. Most of all I want to thank my God who, for some reason, has helped me to succeed greatly while I contributed so little.

  • Contemporary Scottish Gothic: History, Identity, Monstrosity
    1 Contemporary Scottish Gothic: History, Identity, Monstrosity MA Thesis Literature and Culture: Specialisation English Universiteit van Amsterdam 2 Contemporary Scottish Gothic: History, Identity, Monstrosity Contents INTRODUCTION 3 CHAPTER 1 10 Self-haunting: Multiple Selves and the Ontology of the Real in Alice Thompson’s The Falconer CHAPTER 2 20 A Textual Self-Haunting: The Legacy of Stevenson and Hogg in Irvine Welsh’s The Bedroom Secrets of the Master Chefs and Marabou Stork Nightmares CHAPTER 3 50 ‘Gorgeous monster’: Bella Baxter and Scottish National Identity in Alasdair Gray’s Poor Things CONCLUSION 67 WORKS CITED 71 3 Contemporary Scottish Gothic: History, Identity, Monstrosity Introduction ‘With every day, and from both sides of my intelligence, the moral and the intellectual, I thus drew steadily nearer to the truth, by whose partial discovery I have been doomed to such a dreadful shipwreck: that man is not truly one, but truly two.’ (Robert Louis Stevenson, The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde 55) ‘We are all subjected to two distinct natures in the same person. I myself have suffered grievously in that way.’ (James Hogg, The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner 132) The above quotes are taken from two canonical works in Scottish Gothic, both of which concern themselves with notions of doubling – of the ‘other’ within. This theme of self-haunting has come to be definitive of Scottish Gothic. Significantly, while these foundational texts were written in the nineteenth century, there has been a recent resurgence of the Gothic in Scotland in the last thirty-six years.

THE subject of which this brochure claims to be a rather copious index has attracted much attention in all ages of literary inquiry, and, while it has sometimes provoked the wit and humor of the satirist, it has often engaged also the grave and earnest considera tion of scholars and divines. The growth of this interest has been pari passu with the development of the spirit of philosophical inquiry. • With'the exception of Graesse's "Bibliotheca Magica," published in 1843, no compre hensive summary of the literature of DIABOLISM has been issued —certainly none has been offered for sale ; and we hope it is not presumption therefore to claim for this modest attempt in that direction whatever merit belongs here to originality. To commend our labor to the approval of the bibliopolist, we have pursued a strictly chronological method of development, and divided the subject into two distinct parts, the one embracing its humorous aspects, and the other comprising the serious discussions and treatises which it has originated from the earliest times to the present.
