Seman 1 Dickens against the Grain Gendered Spheres and Their Transgressors in Bleak House, Hard Times, and Great Expectations A Thesis Presented to the Honors Tutorial College Ohio University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for Graduation from the Honors Tutorial College with the Degree of Bachelor of Arts in English by Taylor J. 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.

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.

The Production of Religious Broadcasting: the Case of The
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by OpenGrey Repository The Production of Religious Broadcasting: The Case of the BBC Caitriona Noonan A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Centre for Cultural Policy Research Department of Theatre, Film and Television University of Glasgow Glasgow G12 8QQ December 2008 © Caitriona Noonan, 2008 Abstract This thesis examines the way in which media professionals negotiate the occupational challenges related to television and radio production. It has used the subject of religion and its treatment within the BBC as a microcosm to unpack some of the dilemmas of contemporary broadcasting. In recent years religious programmes have evolved in both form and content leading to what some observers claim is a “renaissance” in religious broadcasting. However, any claims of a renaissance have to be balanced against the complex institutional and commercial constraints that challenge its long-term viability. This research finds that despite the BBC’s public commitment to covering a religious brief, producers in this style of programming are subject to many of the same competitive forces as those in other areas of production. Furthermore those producers who work in-house within the BBC’s Department of Religion and Ethics believe that in practice they are being increasingly undermined through the internal culture of the Corporation and the strategic decisions it has adopted. This is not an intentional snub by the BBC but a product of the pressure the Corporation finds itself under in an increasingly competitive broadcasting ecology, hence the removal of the protection once afforded to both the department and the output.
