University Microfilms International 300 N INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy. Requests can be made to our Dissertations Customer Services Department. 5. Some pages in any document may have indistinct print. In all cases we have filmed the best available copy.

Billy Budd, The Caine Mutiny, and Fiedler's Contingency Model: An Inferential Analysis of Leadership"]! (19 80) Directed by: Dr. Roland H. Nelson Jr. Pp. 307. The purpose of this study was to show that the cnarac- ters in leadership positions (formal and informal) portrayed in Billy Budd and The Caine Mutiny performed predictably with respect to the parameters of the Fiedler Contingency Model of leadership effectiveness. Qualitative inferences con­ cerning character motivations and actions were derived by using the Contingency Model as a baseline for analysis of various leadership behaviors. The two novels selected for this study provided realistic microcosms of bureaucratic organizations in situations which revealed botn task- motivated and relationship-motivated leadership types. Since these leadership types comprise a variety of characteristics encountered in leaders throughout many kinds of organizations, this study has nearly universal applica­ tion. Additionally, the situational variables reflected the degree of "favorableness" most conducive to the leader­ ship types portrayed. Analyzing the interaction of tnese situational variables and characters has projected some degree of predictability for effectiveness of leadership types described in Fiedler's theory. Some conclusions were that leaders are more effective in some situations (jobs, circumstances, organizations) than others and that a leader's effectiveness can be enhanced more easily by changing his situation than by attempts to change him as an individual. Ideally, an exceptional leader must possess the judgment to recognize (or even create) the variables of fluid situations and have the personal flexibility to employ either a task- motivated or a relationship-motivated leadership style. In attempting to illustrate predictable leadership effectiveness through inferential character analysis, complex psychological and philosophical dimensions had to be considered. Too often, leadersnip has been assessed only in terms of quantifiable productivity in our results- oriented society. Of course this is the "proof of the pudding" approach to evaluate leaders but it is too simplis­ tic to be comprehensive. To achieve a more comprehensive evaluation of leader­ ship types, inferences have been drawn to show predictable leader effectiveness not only through the actions of characters but also in psychological and philosophical terms which influenced those actions. Hopefully, the result has been to produce a more multi-dimensional insight into the complexity of leader behavior. To accomplish the purpose of this study, a literary approach was used to involve readers vicariously in realistic situations of leadership. Only those portions of each novel which portrayed salient qualities of leadership (motivations, words, actions) in the characters were sum­ marized. These qualities were carefully selected for inclusion as a part of leader profiles which would later become points of analysis. Documented comments of scholarly critics have substantiated the realism of the leader profiles presented throughout this dissertation. The style is relatively free of complex terms and professional jargon (nautical terms excepted) in order to enhance readability for professionals in virtually any field. It is hoped that people in all kinds of organizations can derive some benefit by recognizing situations or styles of leadership portrayed here which might aid thein in becoming more effective leaders or at least in understanding leadership behavior within their respective organizations. APPROVAL PAGE This dissertation has been approved by the following committee of the Faculty of the Graduate School at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Dissertation Adviser Committee Members tfl(/. ,/ '' jP"hl >l(L October 13, 1980 Date of Acceptance by Committee October 13, 1980 Date of Final Oral Examination ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The research and writing of a dissertation is an odyssey upon which few embark. The journey is fraught with self-doubt, frustration, hard work, self-discipline, loneliness, and occasional despair. One is sustained only through an indomitable endurance of will to successfully complete the journey and provide man with some further insight toward a better understanding of himself. The ecstasy of such an achievement is not individually agotistical, for the writer realizes that his accomplish­ ment is essentially a composite of both himself and those who have become part of him throughout the endeavor. It is therefore appropriate to recognize those persons responsible for influencing and facilitating the completion of this dissertation. Aside from my family members, the greatest influences on my work have been the members of my doctoral committee. I should like to recognize each member with his respective alma mater of doctoral study since one of the strengths of the committee was the high degree of expertise in varied disciplines. The chairman was Professor Roland H. Nelson (Harvard University). Dr. Nelson was the key to the success of this dissertation. Considered to be a renowned expert in the field of leadership, Dr. Nelson provided professional iii guidance throughout my endeavor. I especially thank him for his understanding and flexibility in allowing this unique, literary approach to the study of leadership. Two committee members whom I would like to recognize jointly are professors Fritz Mengert (Ohio State University) and Don Russell (Boston University). Both of these men have influenced me tremendously in the study of ethics and philosophy which is crucial to understanding the motivations of leader behavior. Professor Robert 0. Stephens (Texas University) of the English Department provided invaluable guidance with respect to the literary considerations of this dissertation. Dr. Stephens loaned several books to me which were excellent guides to researching the initial criticism for the study. Professor Dale

The interdisciplinary law-and-literature movement has bur- geoned in recent years. Numerous books and articles have ap- peared within the past decade or so and many law schools now regularly offer courses on the subject. This essay, however, will not address the movement itself; indeed, I believe it is replete with sundry limitations.2 Nevertheless, one facet of the growing area of law-and-literature-and the connections between the two fields-that is salutary is the renewed interest in, and explica- tion of, works of literature that have legal themes or involve characters who are lawyers. This area is one in which lawyers can provide insights into the novels that a reader untrained in the law would perhaps overlook or misunderstand. Associate, Hartsough & Kenny, New Jersey.

  • Dissertation Rough Draft Final
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA RIVERSIDE Melville on the Beach: Transnational Visions of America A Dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English by Ikuno Saiki December 2018 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Jennifer Doyle, Chairperson Dr. Steven Gould Axelrod Dr. Traise Yamamoto Copyright by Ikuno Saiki 2018 The Dissertation of Ikuno Saiki is approved: Committee Chairperson University of California, Riverside Acknowledgments This project would not have been finalized without the invaluable assistance of many people. First of all, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my exam advisor and former dissertation chairperson, Professor Emory Elliott. Throughout the irregular and tedious process of completing my degree, he constantly encouraged me and supported me by frequent e- mail messages, writing from his office in early morning, or from a hotel in China at midnight, until a month before his sudden demise. I learned, and am still learning, from his enthusiastic and humanitarian approach to literature and from his pure devotion to help his students. Professor Jennifer Doyle was on my exam committee, and kindly succeeded Professor Elliott as chair. She made it possible for me to finish the dissertation within a limited amount of time, and her advice gave me a framework within which to integrate all my ideas. Professor Steven Gould Axelrod and Professor Traise Yamamoto supported me in the first difficult quarter at UC Riverside in 2001. I learned scholarship and the art of research from Professor Axelrod’s meticulous and warm suggestions on my seminar papers. Professor Yamamoto, who provides energetic guidance and affectionate care for her students, is one of my unattainable role models.

  • The Intensity and Concentrated Fury of the Second World War Prompted Many of Those Who Had Participated in War Is Not Just the L
    ABSTRACT THEMES AND MEANINGS IN THE AMERICAN AND FILIPINO NOVELS OF THE SECOND WORLD WAR IN THE PACIFIC BY Elena P. Polo The intensity and concentrated fury of the Second World War prompted many of those who had participated in it to re-create the war experience. To the novelists the war is not just the landscape for their narrative, but a vehicle for social comments as well as a means of depict- ing the human condition. The novelists are concerned with human values, with the problems of existence, and with man's capacity to endure. As critics have noted, the war is a ready-made microcosm which has permitted the novelists to set man against his chaotic world. American novelists who wrote on the Pacific war and the Filipino novelists who tried to portray the pain and anguish of the Japanese Occupation show a common preoccupa- tion. This study, which defines the themes of these novel- ists, shows that they are preoccupied with the subject of survival both physical and moral. The American novels on the war in the Pacific depict the individual's struggle against a crushing bureaucracy personified by the military organization and hostile forces 1 Elena P. Polo identified as Chance or Fate, nature, social inequalities, human nature itself and institutions. The novels portray man's quest for absolute freedom, for justice and equality. The American novelists show two definite responses to this human dilemma. One is a strong voice affirming man's basic humanity. Heggen's Mister Roberts, Wouk's Caine Mutiny, Statham's Welcome Darkness, Gwaltney's The Day the Century Ended and Mydan's Open City, analyzed in this study, clearly affirm the endurance of the human spirit and man's ability to triumph over forces that would "dehuman- ize and destroy." These novels suggest that man survives because of his humanness.

Chairman y 7 f il ABSTRACT Lester, James D. (Ph.D.) Melville's Piazza Tales : The Quest for Communications Directed by Professor E, Paul Alworth This study explores an incompletely examined area in Melville scholarship: focusing on The Piazza Tales it examines Melville's quest for a more perfect communication. The six stories convey a Melvillian view of communication breakdowns among men, especially as misuse of language isolates the non- communicative soul. Although his tales are more than communi­ cations tragedies, an awareness of articulation breakdowns intensifies each story. In summary, his theory demonstrates these concepts: every man desires communication to overcome both his own imperfections and the external barriers preventing communication; some men successfully communicate, others merely articulate with hollow substance, and a few tragic ones reject communications entirely. The personalities seek communicative contact to find identity of self, to fill aesthetic needs, or to achieve therapeutic or psychological release, Melville evidences concern with three barriers: social norms that dis­ tort the receiver's attention to truth, the closed mind of the self-centered man, and the misreading of signs and symbols.

    René Galand, An American forerunner of the Absurd: , Herman Melville Herman Melville is without a doubt one of the most important American writers. His work, no less remarkable for its depth than for its volume, is characterized by his tragic vision of man’s fate, by the power of its symbolism, and by the virtuosity of its style. Melville was only twelve when his father, a New York merchant, died a bankrupt. To make a living, Melville tried his hand at different jobs: bank clerk, farm hand, crew member aboard a trading ship which sailed from New York to Liverpool, elementary school teacher, before he eventually, in 1841, signed on as a seaman aboard the whaling ship Acushnet . In 1842, he deserted his ship in the Marquesa Islands, found passage for Tahiti and Hawaï, where, the following year, he enlisted in the navy and returned to America aboard the frigate United Sates . In October 1844, he was discharged from the navy in Boston. His first two books, Typee (1846) and Omoo (1847), based on his adventures in the South Pacific, made him immediately famous. A more ambitious work, the allegorical novel Mardi (1849), was a failure. In order to regain his popularity, Melville published two other novels based on his sea adventures, Redburn (1849), inspired by his 1839 crossing to Liverpool, and White-Jacket (1850), by his service aboard a U.S. Navy frigate. Melville had married in 1847. After a trip to Europe (1849-1850), he returned to New York where he began to work on a major novel, Moby-Dick , in which he made use of his experience aboard the whaling vessel Acushnet .

Monteiro: Melville and the Question of Camôes MELVILLE AND THE QUESTION OF CAMÕES George Monteiro Brown University Of Herman Melville’s interest in the life and works of Luis de Camões there exists ample evidence. First, there continues to sing out from the pages of his novel White-Jacket (1850) the cries of the “matchless and unmatchable Jack Chase,” who appears to have been the young sailor Melville’s beau ideal: “For the last time, hear Camoens, boys!”1 Secondly, from the pages of Melville’s encyclopaedic novel Moby-Dick (1851) come unmistakable references to Camões’ poem of empire The Lusiads (1572), a work that Erich Auerbach calls “the great epic of the ocean.”2 Third, among the books in Melville’s library (the term library being defined to cover both the books owned by Melville and/or known to have been read by him) we can with confidence number The Lusiad: or The Discovery of India, translated by William Julius Mickle (1776), Poems, From the Portuguese of Luis de Camoens, translated by Lord Viscount Strangford (1803), and Poems of Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1854), the last of which includes the unmarried Miss Barrett’s “Catarina to Camoens,” a poem well known to Melville and, it has been suggested, useful to him in the writing of his long poem Clarel Fourth, several of Melville’s poems allude to or draw upon Camões’ work.
