About this product Product Information The hardest tests for leaders challenge their character as much as their skills, and a growing body of research shows that the self-knowledge gained from such tests is critical to leaders' success. In Questions of Character , Joseph L. Badaracco outlines eight fundamental challenges that test a leader's character, and proposes exploring them through the lens of literature. Badaracco argues that serious fiction provides us with memorable characters facing compelling challenges similar to those that confront business leaders. Through rich analysis of the main characters in The Death of a Salesman , The Secret Sharer , The Last Tycoon , and other stories, Badaracco addresses complex issues leaders face, such as the soundness of their vision, their readiness to take on responsibility, the depth of their compassion, and their ability to manage success. Presenting classic leadership dilemmas in a novel and valuable light, Questions of Character helps leaders and aspiring leaders prepare for the opportunities and tests before them.

  • A Study of Some Male Characters in Edith Wharton's Novels a Study of Some Male Characters in Edith Wharton's Novels
    A STUDY OF SOME MALE CHARACTERS IN EDITH WHARTON'S NOVELS A STUDY OF SOME MALE CHARACTERS IN EDITH WHARTON'S NOVELS By JUDITH TAYLOR, B.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts McMaster University August, 1981 To my parents. MASTER OF ARTS (1981) McMASTER UNIVERSITY (English) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: A Study of Some Male Characters in Edith Wharton's Novels AUTHOR: Judith Taylor, B.A. (London University, England) SUPERVISOR: Dr. F. N. Shrive NUMBER OF PAGES: v, 93 ii ABSTRACT Edith Wharton has been criticised for her portrayal of male characters. They are often dismissed as being mainly one type: the inadequate, aristocratic, dilettante gentleman. This thesis argues that whilst this figure re-occurs in her work a development can be seen from Lawrence Selden of The House of Mirth, to Ralph Marvell of The Custom of the Country culminating in Newland Archer, hero of The Age of Innocence. Furthermore these men are not carbon copies of each other, but independent characters in their own right. Finally, it will be shown that there is a considerable range of male characters to be found playing secondary roles in her work. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express my appreciation to my Supervisor, Dr. F. N. Shrive for his patience and assistance. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS PAGE INTRODUCTION. • • • • • • • . • • . • • • • • • • .• 1 I HEROES AND THEORIES • . • • • • • • • • •. 9 II THE HOUSE OF MIRTH. • • • • • • • . • • • • • • 30 III THE CUSTOM OF THE COUNTRY • • • • • • • • • •• 49 IV THE AGE OF INNOCENCE. • • . • . • . • •• 66 CONCLUSION. • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • 85 BIBLIOGRAPHY.

  • Cartographers As Critics: Staking Claims in the Mapping of American Literature
    Cartographers as Critics: Staking Claims in the Mapping of American Literature by Kyle Carsten Wyatt A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of English Collaborative Program in Book History & Print Culture University of Toronto © Copyright by Kyle Carsten Wyatt 2011 Cartographers as Critics: Staking Claims in the Mapping of American Literature Kyle Carsten Wyatt Doctor of Philosophy Department of English Collaborative Program in Book History & Print Culture University of Toronto 2011 Abstract “Cartographers as Critics: Staking Claims in the Mapping of American Literature” recuperates the print culture phenomenon of literary map production, which became popular in North America around 1898. A literary map can be defined as any pictorial map that depicts imaginative worlds or authorial associations across geopolitical space. While notable examples have circulated for centuries in bound books, such as Thomas More’s Utopia and William Faulkner’s Absalom, Absalom!, the majority of twentieth- century literary maps were ephemeral productions that have not survived in great numbers. These discursive documents functioned as compelling expressions of literary taste and cultural values; they circulated in magazines and newspapers, as gas station promotional giveaways and diner placemats, and as classroom “equipment.” Extant literary maps offer new perspectives on turn-of-the-twentieth century U.S. literary nationalism and the Public Library Movement, “fiction debates” and “Great Books”

They were also scattered across the county‟s Hempstead Plains, in the area now known as “Five-Towns,” and in Suffolk County. The Hempstead Plains estate villages of Hempstead and Garden City were somewhat similar to those in the Town of Southampton in that their residents were predominantly WASP.1 A far more complex demography is presented by the “Five Towns,” which are not towns nor are they townships but rather the villages of Hewlett, Cedarhurst, Woodmere, Lawrence, and Inwood within Nassau County‟s Town of Hempstead. In the early stages of their estate era the residents of Cedarhurst, Woodmere, Lawrence, and Hewlett were mostly WASP. Cedarhurst, Woodmere, and Lawrence gradually became predominately Jewish
