I am grateful to the staff in Reader Services for their help during the research phase of this project. During the research stage of this dissertation I was supported by a fellowship generously donated by the Center for the Humanities at UC Merced. I would like to thank Susan Amussen, then director of the Center for the Humanities, and the fellows of the Center for the lively intellectual exchange, particularly following my presentation of early versions of part of the material at the Merced Seminar for the Humanities. That material eventually became chapters 2 and 3. Subsequently, I was supported by the Graduate Dean’s Dissertation Fellowship, which allowed me to focus solely on writing during my one of my final terms at the university. I am deeply grateful for the support offered by my committee members, Dr. Katherine Steele Brokaw (UC Merced, English), Dr. Gregg Camfield (UC Merced, Vice Provost for the Faculty), and Dr. Sholeh Quinn (UC Merced, History). I am especially grateful to Dr. Susan Amussen, my advisor and committee chair, who encouraged me throughout this project. v Curriculum Vitae Education PhD, Interdisciplinary Humanities, 2020 Dissertation: A Bag of Tricks: Literary Tricksters as Mediators of Changing Gender Roles in Early Modern London University of California, Merced Advisor: Susan Amussen Committee: Katherine Brokaw, Gregg Camfield, Sholeh Quinn Online Teaching Certification, 2012 @One Project for California Community Colleges, onefortraining.org Certified to iNACOL National Standards for Quality Online Teaching MA, English Literature, 1990 Northwestern University Thesis: Robin Hood’s Mirror: The Changing Face of Robin Hood in English Literature Advisor: Martin Mueller BA, Vocal Music, 1978 Ball State University Academic Employment 2012-2020 Teaching Assistant / Teaching Fellow University of California, Merced 2018 Lecturer, Merced College, Merced CA 2006–present Lecturer, University of Phoenix, Fresno, CA and online 2001-2012 Institutional Research Coordinator State Center Community College District, Fresno CA Grants, Awards, And Fellowships 2018 Graduate Dean’s Dissertation Fellowship University of California, Merced 2014-2015 Center for Humanities Graduate Fellow University of California, Merced Conference Presentations October 2015 “Moll Cutpurse: Trickster and Roaring Girl” Sixteenth Century Conference, Vancouver BC vi April 2014 “Robin Goodfellow and Moll Cutpurse: Trickster Figures in Early Modern English Literature” University of California, Merced Graduate Students Conference June 2009 “How Did I Do?

  • A Life Lived on the Corner
    A LIFE LIVED ON THE CORNER By Bronwyn Jewell McGovern A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology Victoria University of Wellington 2013 This thesis is dedicated to two brothers Warrick McGovern 24/10/67 – 11/05/94 Bernett Hana 08/02/57 – 15/01/12 Both of whom the street took too soon In memory of Brother, an independent spirit, impossible to classify Abstract This thesis explores the everyday life of Brother, a well-known street dweller and local identity, who lives everyday life on a busy street corner in Wellington, Aotearoa New Zealand. Brother’s way of doing ‘being ordinary’ attracts strong public curiosity, media interest, and monitoring by informal and formal social control mechanisms, including medical intervention. This research provides a comprehensive account of what can happen to those at the margins who dare, or are impelled, to do things differently. My research is inspired by the longstanding tradition of street corner sociology, and grounded within the sociology of everyday life orientation. My street ethnography involved participant observation over a three-and-a-half year period. In that time, I observed Brother and other street people, capturing the depth and nuanced complexities of a life lived in the open. Central to this thesis is an examination of the ways in which wider social structures and institutions bear upon the local micro-setting, in particular how classification processes act to ‘make, remake, and unmake’ people. Three core concepts of space, body, and social interaction are explored to examine, through the situatedness of everyday talk and social action, how social meanings are locally produced and understood.

  • Knight Errant Ebook, Epub
    KNIGHT ERRANT PDF, EPUB, EBOOK John Jackson Miller | 385 pages | 25 Jan 2011 | LUCAS BOOKS | 9780345522641 | English | New York, NY, United States Knight Errant PDF Book The knight-errant stock character became the trope of the "knight in shining armour" in depiction of the Middle Ages in popular culture , and the term came to be used also outside of medieval drama, as in The Dark Knight as a title of Batman. Identifying himself only as "Cerberus," Luther was still able to accurately determine his captive's status as a former Luna Wolf based solely on his Cthonian accent. Making himself known, he later fought alongside the White Scars against a strike force of elite Death Guard, led by their Primarch Mortarion. Qruze was a very old Space Marine who was a native of Cthonia. In the final assault, the Ultramarines were driven back in the face of overwhelming numbers, and sought cover within a cave. But I was still under the influence of the girl's melting gaze, and I saw that this was where I started in as a knight-errant. Origin of knight-errant Middle English word dating back to — With Horus' treachery revealed he was imprisoned in Khangba Marwu with the other Crusader Host Astartes, but eventually had his sentence commuted by the Sigillite. Some of them are presumed to be historical figures, while others are fictional and possibly descend from Slavic mythology. As a result, at any time there are large numbers of young nobles travelling around the country, looking for trouble. Visit our What to Watch page.

  • Robin Hoods: a Myth in Flux
    Western Illinois Historical Review © 2013 Vol. V, Spring 2013 ISSN 2153-1714 Robin Hoods: A Myth in Flux Justin Paonessa Robin Hood has remained one of the most infamous outlaws in European history. His popularity has transcended national boundaries and his myths appear in Ireland, Scotland, Wales and England. Scholars have often wondered how Robin Hood was able to remain such a prominent figure of folklore for so long without dying out as other outlaw stories have. This paper will show that the reason the Robin Hood myth was able to survive the tests of time was the Storytellers ability to adapt it to any time period in which it was told. The beginning of the paper will start by examining the common themes represented in the Robin Hood myths. It will then move on to a discussion of source problems inherent within this myth. A discussion of Robin Hood as a historical figure will then commence. Having then established the historical Robin Hood, an examination of his relationships with the medieval church, political authorities, and the “common man” will then take place. After having established all of these essentials arguments about Robin Hood it will finally be time to discuss the thesis through an example of how the myth of Robin Hood was used during Henry VIII’s reign in order to better represent his own ideas and policies. This adaptability is what made Robin Hood’s myth able to survive the tests of time, and become as famous as the King Arthur myths. The time periods in which this paper will be examining the myths of Robin Hood are from the early thirteenth century to the late sixteenth.
