The project traces the progression of three diseases – consumption, chlorosis, and hysteria – throughout the long nineteenth century, paying particular attention to the stereotypes and prevailing medical notions of each illness. In general, this work examines the influence of lovesickness, female-patient/male-doctor dynamics, and pathology on the endemic or epidemic nature of each disease. In particular, the first three chapters of this project study tuberculosis – or consumption as it was called in the nineteenth century – and the ways in which society presumed this illness manifested either through the female’s beauty or spirituality. This work also uses nineteenth-century writing from women and men who dispute the notions of the beautiful and spiritual consumptive. The second three chapters of this project examine hypochromic anemia – chlorosis in the nineteenth century – and the prevailing medical notion that its manifestation in younger women could be cured through sex, marriage, and childbearing. In so doing, this dissertation studies its roots in lovesickness, procreation, and the Early Modern era. The final section of three chapters explores the somatic manifestations of hysteria – a disease that appeared endemic to young woman throughout this era – and its comorbid condition of neurasthenia. This project looks at texts written by those so diagnosed as well as by those doing the diagnoses. This work concludes with an afterward focused on how the gender-specific medicine of the past continues to impact racialized medicine of the present. Keywords: Medical humanities, tuberculosis, consumption, chlorosis, anemia, lovesickness, hysteria, neurasthenia, comorbidities, racialized medicine, gender-specific medicine DEDICATION This dissertation is dedicated to the women in my family who have worked to improve not only their own physical, spiritual, mental, and emotional health but that of other women. I also want to dedicate my work to the men in my family who have encouraged, respected, and supported us. God bless and keep you all. i ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First, I want to thank my committee. Thanks especially to my amazing advisor and director Dr. Sarah Wadsworth. Despite being an Americanist, you sure helped me craft one heck of a transatlantic literary study. Thank you, too, for all of your advice, support, laughter at my odd parenthetical puns, and, perhaps most of all, your time (especially considering my inability to use em-dashes). Your leadership on this project made it possible. Thank you, too, to the amazing educators who acted as readers for this project. Dr. Heather Hathaway, you have always been one of my staunchest supporters, from hugging me with enthusiasm that put me at ease my first day on campus when I got seriously lost to encouraging me to explore theory in relation to medicine, you’ve made a huge impact. Thank you, too, Dr. Brittany Pladek, for the most insightful comments I have ever read. Your expertise on the medical aspects of this dissertation challenged me to increase my own and I am eternally grateful for that. Thank you both again so very much. Next, I would be incredibly remiss if I didn’t thank my personal academic role model and writing center mentor, Dr. Rebecca Nowacek. Without your warm personality, acceptance of your tutors where we are, and your ability to mentor, well, everyone, I don’t think I would have been as successful as I have. Also, I definitely never would have learned how to outline my ideas using the box method. Because of you, I found my people in the Otters. Thank you. Also thanks to the Otters at large. Between Ott After Hours (OAH!), trivia trips (looking at you, Brynn, Quinn, Kaley, Corrine, John G., Molly, Julia, Ryan, Aishah, Haley, Matt, and all those who come and go!), and just letting me rage at my own inattention to deadlines and details, you’ve been an amazing group of people. Each and every one of you is written on my heart and will have a place there forever because you’ve crafted this dissertation with me. Special thanks to my mentee, Matt Burchanoski, for our weekly tutoring sessions. I know your encouragement, patience, and bad band/album names ripped from the pages of this project are in large part responsible for my continued good humor. Viva Norman! Further thanks are due to our amazing administrative assistant, Wendy Walsh. You are honestly a genius with boundless patience. Without your assistance getting us re-enrolled each semester, filling out the announcement of defense paperwork, and all of the in- between, I wouldn’t have been able to reach this point. You’re absolutely wonderful and the entire department is so very lucky to have you. Thanks, too, to Dr. Hillary Nunn who taught my first disease-in-literature course and got me hooked and on this incredible path to the medical humanities. You always encouraged us all to explore many different options using our English degrees, celebrated our successes with us, and went to bat for us in way we can’t even imagine. Without you, I wouldn’t have taught my first class, attended my first conference, chaired my first panel, ii or applied to Marquette. It doesn’t seem enough to just say thank you, but seriously, thank you. Additional and final thanks have taken me forever to write because they’re for my family, who made every late-night trip home to Cleveland to see them worth the drive. First, to my Mom and Dad, I want to say the dedication is in large part for you. I don’t know many parents who would have been as supportive as you were and have been when I decided to leave nursing and pursue English. I also don’t know as many parents who talk openly about faith, health, and the need for both. In general, too, you’ve supported me more than my stressed-out self sometimes deserved. If that isn’t true love, I don’t know what is. I only hope I can repay you in kind. You are my home and wherever Lilly and I go next, I know we will always return to you. Next, thanks, siblings. I brag often about you—it would be nearly impossible not to—but between Kat’s honest answers about life, the universe, and everything, Brian’s hilarious affinity for bizarre gifs and texts sent to the wrong group, and Patrick’s patient and all- giving care of everything car, electronic, and Lilly-related, I know I am truly blessed. #TYFYS Also, siblings-in-law, I am so lucky our family was right for you, because you’re certainly right for us. Marsha, your dry humor always makes me laugh and Nick, your boundless knowledge never fails to delight. I love you all and will continue to shamelessly brag indefinitely—and probably also continue to send ya’ll texts that wake you up. You rock! Thanks also to my aunts, uncles, and cousins—those here and those gone to eternal rest. Between your visits to see me, your forthright discussions about health and well-being, and your encouragement to talk about my dissertation—and your patience in listening— you make Cleveland the land that I will always love. Special shout-out to Aunt Kate and Uncle Dick for coming to visit Milwaukee and taking me to see Emmylou Harris and Robert Plant. I have never felt so cool. Also, thanks Uncle Dick for sending me the hard- to-get Anorexia and Mimetic Desire as well as encouraging my first interest in Girard when I was an undergrad. Thanks go as well as my grandparents, two of whom I lost while working on this project. You made me strong, you taught me to be proud of where our family came from, and you encouraged me to remember and tell our stories. Thank you. Finally, thanks to my friends from Marquette, The University of Akron (special shout-out to BRH 08 who reminded me that even though we may be far away, we’re always a call or text closer), and Third Federal iii TABLE OF CONTENTS List of Figures…………………………………………………………………………..iv Chapter 1: Introduction..…………………………………………………………………..1 Consumption Chapter 2: The Ideal Tubercular (Woman) in Nineteenth-Century Literature………….30 Chapter 3: The Lovely and the Lovesick Consumptive………...……………………….61 Chapter 4: The Beautiful, Spiritual, and Creative Consumptive Leaves Readers Breathless……………………………………………………………………………….108 Chlorosis Chapter 5: It’s Not Easy Being Green: What Is Chlorosis?............................................158 Chapter 6: Green Gardens: Expressions of Chlorosis

  • The Colonizing Force of Hawthorne's the Scarlet Letter
    Laura “A” for Atlantic: Doyle The Colonizing Force of Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter In The Scarlet Letter, colonization just happens or, more accurately, has just happened. We might recall, by contrast, how Catharine Maria Sedgwick’s novel Hope Leslie elaborately narrates the sociopolitical process of making an Indian village into a native English spot. Hawthorne eclipses this drama of settlement. Although Haw- thorne, like Sedgwick, sets his plot of sexual crisis in the early colo- nial period of Stuart political crisis and English Civil War, he places these events in the distant backdrop, as remote from his seventeenth- century characters as his nineteenth-century readers. Meanwhile, he recasts Sedgwick’s whimsical heroine, Hope Leslie, as a sober, already arrived, and already fallen woman. In beginning from this already fallen moment, Hawthorne keeps off- stage both the “fall” of colonization and its sexual accompaniment. He thereby obscures his relationship to a long Atlantic literary and politi- cal history. But if we attend to the colonizing processes submerged in The Scarlet Letter, we discover the novel’s place in transatlantic his- tory—a history catalyzed by the English Civil War and imbued with that conflict’s rhetoric of native liberty. We see that Hawthorne’s text partakes of an implictly racialized, Atlantic ur-narrative, in which a people’s quest for freedom entails an ocean crossing and a crisis of bodily ruin. That is, The Scarlet Letter fits a formation reaching from Oroonoko, Moll Flanders, Charlotte Temple, and Olaudah

  • The Possession of Suzanlori Parks
    8/25/2016 American Theatre - Archives October 2000 HOME ABOUT SUPPORT CONTACT LOG IN Search The Possession of Suzan­Lori Parks By listening to "the figures that take up residence inside me," the playwright resurrects a lost and dangerous history­­and dares audiences to venture with her into its depths By Shawn­Marie Garrett Suzan­Lori Parks began writing novels at the age of five. But it wasn't until she first heard voices that she realized she might be cursed and blessed with a case of possession­­in both senses of that word. Parks knew that she possessed something, but she also knew that it possessed her. It was 1983. She was working on a short story called "The Wedding Pig" for a writing class she was taking with James Baldwin at Mount Holyoke College in South Hadley, Mass. Suddenly she had the sense that the people she was writing about were in the room with her, "standing right behind me, talking. Not telling the story, but acting it out­­doing it. It was not me," she says, "not the voice of confidence or the voice of doubt. It was outside of me. And all the stories I wrote for this class were like that." Parks intended from the beginning that her writing should be read aloud. So in Baldwin's workshops she would speak her stories, playing all the characters, recreating her creative process, moving naturally from writing to (or back to) performance. Observing her, Baldwin soon posed the obvious question: "Why don't you try writing plays?" Parks had never done theatre in high school or in college because, well, she thought it was "dumb," and most theatre people turned her off.

  • Gender, Class, and Identity in Alice Walker's the Color
    European Journal of English Language and Literature Studies Vol.7, No.1, pp.16-27, January 2019 ___Published by European Centre for Research Training and Development UK (www.eajournals.org) GENDER, CLASS, AND IDENTITY IN ALICE WALKER’S THE COLOR PURPLE AND SUZAN-LORI PARKS’ IN THE BLOOD Manal Abdullah Ahmad Batobara1 and Mohammad Saleem2 1Department of European Languages and Literature, University of Jeddah, Jeddah, KSA 2Department of English, King Abdulaziz University, Rabigh, KSA ABSTRACT: The genesis of suffering of Afro-American women has multilayered factors, i.e., race, class, gender, etc. But the struggle of these women is still underrepresented. The present paper looks at the representation of Afro-American women in the fictions of two Afro-American women writers – Alice Walker and Suzan-Lori Parks – to investigate the gender, class, and race dynamics in their works. Their selected works were analyzed from a comparative perspective with a view to highlight the plight of Afro-American women, and to look for possible convergence in the emancipated portrayal of their juxtaposed characters. The thematic stress and characterization of the protagonists in the selected works suggests that oppression of black women can be challenged only if they realize their own strength, in the bonds of sisterhood, for instance, or in the refusal to submission to oppressive conditions. Superficially, the writers have come up with juxtaposed images of black women – Alice Walker's Celie victimized because of her poverty, race and gender, while Suzan-Lori Parks' Hester allowing herself to be exploited by men, resorting to filicide in the end. But, at a deeper level both the writers chide black woman for their lack of strength to put a bold face against their oppressors.

    Utopian for Beginners | The New Yorker 11/9/20, 9:20 PM Annals of Linguistics December 24 & 31, 2012 Issue Utopian for Beginners An amateur linguist loses control of the language he invented. By Joshua Foer December 17, 2012 here are so many ways for speakers of English to see the world. We can glimpse, glance, visualize, view, look, spy, or T ogle. Stare, gawk, or gape. Peek, watch, or scrutinize. Each word suggests some subtly different quality: looking implies volition; spying suggests furtiveness; gawking carries an element of social judgment and a sense of surprise. When we try to describe an act of vision, we consider a constellation of available meanings. But if thoughts and words exist on different planes, then expression must always be an act of compromise. Languages are something of a mess. They evolve over centuries through an unplanned, democratic process that leaves them teeming with irregularities, quirks, and words like “knight.” No one who set out to design a form of communication would ever end up with anything like English, Mandarin, or any of the more than six thousand languages spoken today. “Natural languages are adequate, but that doesn’t mean they’re optimal,” John Quijada, a "fty-three-year-old former employee of the California State Department of Motor Vehicles, told me. In 2004, he published a monograph on the Internet that was titled “Ithkuil: A Philosophical Design for a Hypothetical Language.” Written like a linguistics textbook, the fourteen-page Web site ran to almost a hundred and sixty thousand words. It documented the Quijada’s invented language has two grammar, syntax, and lexicon of a language that Quijada had spent seemingly incompatible ambitions: to be three decades inventing in his spare time.
