The Parable of the Prodigal Son in the Fiction of Elizabeth Gaskell THE PARABLE OF THE PRODIGAL SON IN THE FICTION OF ELIZABETH GASKELL Tatsuhiro OHNO A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of Master of Letters Department of English Literature College of Arts and Law Graduate School University of Birmingham September 2018 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

The investigation into the three short stories in addition to her major works discloses the following three main features. First, the recurrent appearance of the Prodigal Son motif—committing sin, repentance, and forgiveness—in her characters’ lives and actions. Second, Gaskell’s change of depicting the prodigal by gradually refraining from inserting hints for its salvation—there are many hints in the first short story, almost none in the second, and few in the third. This change signifies the increase of her tendency to trust the reader’s imagination and discre- tion on her implication of the possibility of the prodigals’ salvation. Third, her constant depictions of the parents’ unfathomable compassion for the prodigal which implies there is no change in her faith in the Christian teaching of love for the suffered, or God’s love for His children. This scriptural reading might be ap- plicable to any type of literature as its fundamental function is to depict the com- plexities of human life which proceeds in accordance with the Plan of Salvation if the doctrine is true. iii iv DEDICATION This dissertation is dedicated to my family, especially to my father for his financial support, without whose sacrifice and encouragement its completion would have been difficult. v vi ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My sincere gratitude goes to my three supervisors. First, to Dr James MUSSELL, by whom I was given a chance to do research at the University of Birmingham and to study the Digital Humanities approach to the interpretation of literature. Sec- ond, to Dr Nicholas GROOM, from whom I learned the Digital Humanities tech- nologies for textual analysis. Last but not least, to Prof John HOLMES, whose conscientious supervision, including careful reading of my drafts, helpful advice at feedback meetings, and succinct summaries of our discussions on GRS2 Review forms, made me feel like imitating his method in my own supervision of students. vii viii TABLE OF CONTENTS DEDICATION ........................................................................................................ v ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS .................................................................................... vii TABLE OF CONTENTS ........................................................................................ ix LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS ................................................................................... xi LIST OF TABLES ................................................................................................ xiii LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS ................................................................................. xv INTRODUCTION .................................................................................................. 1 Objectives, Methods, and Chapter Plan ..................................................................................... 1 The Parable of the Prodigal Son ................................................................................................ 7 The Plan of Salvation ................................................................................................................. 9 Unitarian Ambivalance ............................................................................................................ 14 Selection of the Three Tales .................................................................................................... 28 CHAPTER 1 THE PATTERN OF THE PRODIGAL ............................................. 31 1.1.

  • Iraqi Literary Response to the US Occupation
    Countering the Sectarian Metanarrative: Iraqi Literary Response to the US Occupation Chad Day Truslow Waynesboro, Virginia B.A. in International Relations & History, Virginia Military Institute, 2008 M.A. in Business Administration, Liberty University, 2014 A Thesis presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Master of Arts Department of Middle Eastern and South Asian Languages and Cultures University of Virginia December, 2019 1 Abstract Sectarian conflict is a commonly understood concept that has largely shaped US foreign policy approach to the region throughout the modern Middle East. As a result of the conflict between Shia and Sunni militias in Iraq and the nature of Iraqi politics since 2003, many experts have accepted sectarianism as an enduring phenomenon in Iraq and use it as a foundation to understand Iraqi society. This paper problematizes the accepted narrative regarding the relevance of sectarian identity and demonstrates the fallacy of approaching Iraq through an exclusively “sectarian lens” in future foreign policy. This paper begins by exploring the role of the Iraqi intellectuals in the twentieth century and how political ideologies influenced and replaced traditional forms of identity. The paper then examines the common themes used by mid-twentieth century Iraqi literati to promote national unity and a sense of Iraqi identity that championed the nation’s heterogeneity. The paper then surveys the Iraqi literary response to the 2003 invasion in order to explain how some of the most popular Iraqi writers represent sectarianism in their works. The literary response to the US invasion and occupation provides a counter- narrative to western viewpoints and reveals the reality of the war from the Iraqi perspective.

Traditional Modes of Progress....................................... 11 IV. Historical Transmission Through Literature.................. 14 V. Concluding Remarks....................................................... 18 VI. Works Cited...................................................................... 20 2 Introduction and Thesis Elizabeth Gaskell's Cranford was first published between 1851 and 1853 as a series of episodic stories in Household Words under the the editorship of Charles Dickens; it wasn't until later that Cranford was published in single volume book form. Essentially, Cranford is a collection of stories about a group of elderly single Victorian ladies and the society in which they live. As described in its opening sentence, ”In the first place, Cranford is in possession of the Amazons; all the holders of houses, above certain rent, are women” (1). Cranford is portrayed through the eyes of the first person narrator, Mary Smith, an unmarried woman from Drumble who visits Cranford occasionally to stay with the Misses Deborah and Matilda Jenkyns. Through Mary's observations the reader becomes acquainted with society at Cranford as well as Cranfordian tradition and ways of life. Gaskell's creation of Cranford was based on her own experiences growing up in the small English town of Knutsford. She made two attempts previous to Cranford to document small town life based on her Knutsford experiences: the first a nonfiction piece titled ”The Last Generation” (1849) that captured her personal memories in a kind of historical preservation, the second was a fictional piece,”Mr.

    Contextualizing Value: Market Stories in Mid-Victorian Periodicals By Emily Catherine Simmons A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of English University of Toronto © Copyright Emily Catherine Simmons 2011 Abstract Contextualizing Value: Market Stories in Mid-Victorian Periodicals Emily Catherine Simmons Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of English, University of Toronto Copyright 2011 This dissertation examines the modes, means, and merit of the literary production of short stories in the London periodical market between 1850 and 1870. Shorter forms were often derided by contemporary critics, dismissed on the assumption that quantity equals quality, yet popular, successful, and respectable novelists, namely Charles Dickens, Anthony Trollope, Elizabeth Gaskell and Margaret Oliphant, were writing, printing, and distributing them. This study navigates a nexus of discourses about culture, literature, and writing to explore, delineate, and ascertain the implications of the contextual position of certain short stories. In particular, it identifies and characterizes a previously unexamined genre, here called the Market Story, in order to argue for the contingency and de-centring of processes and pronouncements of valuation. Market stories are defined by their relationship to a publishing industry that was actively creating a space for, demanding, and disseminating texts based on their potential to generate sales figures, draw attention to a particular organ,
