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.

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.

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.
