Canada iv Abstract This dissertation addresses popular fiction and film of 1920s and 1930s Britain and examines the ideology promoted within these narratives. I look at 'bestsellers' as a relatively new term in that period, as well as the top films with middle- and working- class British audiences in order to understand the relationship of popular culture to gender, the economy, and nation. It situates reoccurring characters, such as the male hero, the villain, and female love-interests, against concerns after World War I about soldiers, unemployed men, profiteers, and working and voting women. I argue that the film and fiction most popular with British audiences in this period was overwhelmingly concerned with a defensive effort to rehabilitate and maintain the role of men as both heroic soldiers and breadwinners following a war which had destabilized these masculine identities. Images of villains and love-interests in these narratives emphasised a return of the soldier and breadwinner to his primary role within the economy and nation through shifts in their own positions in these areas. As a result, the ideology promoted in popular film and fiction worked to soothe and moderate concerns in the 1920s and 1930s about the changing economic, social, and gender landscape. I further argue that this ideology was endorsed through the censorship of these characters by government agencies such as the British Board of Film Censors and the Home Office. Acknowledgements It is much easier to write acknowledgments than it is to write the dissertation itself, but that makes them no less meaningful. I have many wonderful people in my life who have all contributed to this dissertation in their own ways, but I must single out some of them at this point. My committee members have made significant contributions to this project. Kate McPherson has provided encouragement at key moments and Marc Stein has given me what many graduate students are not lucky enough to receive: constant encouragement and involvement, as well as the gift of line-by-line editing. I am very grateful for that, and the latter has made it a much more readable dissertation. Stephen Brooke has mentored me for over ten years now, from a lowly undergraduate at Dalhousie University, and has been a tremendous influence in ways that are difficult to acknowledge, nor even to recognize any more. He is an inspiring lecturer in the classroom and also a kind and supportive aid outside of it. I am grateful to consider him not just a teacher, but a friend, and a colleague. My thanks also to Professor James Martens from Red Deer College who first pushed me into the history program. I must also acknowledge the support of the Ontario Graduate Scholarship which made my studies financially feasible at a point when I was unsure about continuing. I simply would not have finished this dissertation without the deadlines offered by numerous reading groups who took the time and patience to read often-awful early versions of chapters. The Masculinities Reading group, York University's Women's History Reading Group, The Southern Ontario Modern British seminar, and most recently, the British History Writing Group have all commented on various chapters which has been invaluable. I have also been lucky enough to benefit this year from the feedback of excellent students in my 4th year seminar as they have read works that have been foundational to my thesis. Their thoughts have been a great help as I wrote the introduction. Individuals in my holy circle of proofreading have also provided sometimes maddening but always thought-provoking comments on my dissertation. Tod Duncan read the bulk of my dissertation and I am grateful for his insight and the discussions that arose from it, especially in regards to the relationship between history and theory. Ian Hesketh likewise read the majority of my chapters and his comments and encouragement are always valuable. Ian Mosby read my introduction which lead to some lively discussion and I thank him for that. The size of York's history department has also brought me into contact with a number of graduate students working inside and outside of my field whose friendship has meant much to me as we have faced the often baffling, always hilarious world of graduate studies. Kristine Alexander, Dr. Sean Kheraj, Mark Abraham, Susana Miranda, Laura Godsoe, Dr. Sarah Glasford, and Tarah Brookfield have commiserated and laughed with me over the years. From the world of graduate school to the much more tangible world of every day life, Bethany Lander, Joel Regehr, Vania Sukola, Suzanne Carlsen, Monique McLeod, Laural Raine and Ian Mosby have made Toronto a wonderful place to live. I have been lucky to have their support through some very good times and some not-so-good times too. They have put up with me hissing 'this is my thesis' at them in darkened theatres and have also brought perverse enjoyment to the acts of moving houses and theme parties among other things. We have been team players for a long time and I thank you guys for that. Of course, missing from all of the above lists is Ben Lander. Ben has been a classmate, a proof-reader and reading-group member, a team member, an honorary brother, and most of all a very dear friend to me since the very first day of our Master's. Michelle Firestone, Tannis Gibson, and Brooke Spearn have also, as my dearest and oldest friends, been great supporters through this. They have taken an active interest in the mystifying vocabulary and bureaucracy of graduate school and having their perspectives and encouragement from outside of the world of academia has been wonderfully grounding when I needed it. Finally they say that everyone's dissertation is really about themselves, a comment which has remained with me. It is indeed the case that this dissertation is somewhat narcissistically about me, but more specifically it is about and for my parents, Ron Grandy and Janet McLaughlin. They are written on every page and their support and their pride in me, even when they have not entirely understood what I have been doing for so many years, has been something I hope to not take for granted. I dedicate this dissertation to them in small acknowledgement of all they have contributed to me and therefore to it. viii Table of Contents iv Abstract v Acknowledgements viii Table of Contents ix List of Appendices x List of Images 1 Introduction "The same themes repeated over and over again": Popular Culture and Ideology between the Wars 59 Chapter 1 A Man Imagined: Heroes, Work, and Nation 118 Chapter 2 The Shape of Villainy 180 Chapter 3 Paying for Love: Love-Interests and Villainesses 249 Chapter 4 Building Character: Censorship, the Home Office, and the British Board of Film Censors 306 Conclusion Thoughts on Heroes, Villains, and Love-Interests Beyond 1939 318 Bibliography List of Appendices 245 Appendix A: Ratio of Employment in 1931 304 Appendix B: T.P.

    THE WESTERN IMAGE OF TURKS FROM THE MIDDLE AGES TO THE 21ST CENTURY: THE MYTH OF ‘TERRIBLE TURK’ AND ‘LUSTFUL TURK’ Nevsal Olcen Tiryakioglu A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of Nottingham Trent University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2015 Copyright Statement This work is the intellectual property of the author.

Because of their fear of being dominated by Islam, European Christians defined the Turks as the wicked ‘Other’ against their perfect ‘Self.’ Since the beginning of Crusades, the Western image of Turks is associated with cruelty, barbarity, murderousness, immorality, and sexual perversion. These characteristics still appear in cinematic representations of Turks. In Western films such as Lawrence of Arabia and Midnight Express, the portrayals of Turks echo the stereotypes of ‘terrible Turk’ and ‘lustful Turk.’ This thesis argues that these stereotypes have transformed into a myth and continued to exist uniformly in Western contemporary cinema. The thesis attempts to ascertain the uniformity and consistency of the cinematic image of Turks and determine the associations between this image and the myths of ‘terrible Turk’ and ‘lustful Turk.’ To achieve this goal, this thesis examines the trajectory of the Turkish image in Western discourse between the 11th and 21st centuries.

ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION A Soldier at Heart: The Life of Smedley Butler, 1881 - 1940 by Eric Dennis Myers Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Los Angeles, 2013 Professor Joan Waugh, Chair The dissertation is a historical biography of Smedley Darlington Butler (1881-1940), a decorated soldier and critic of war profiteering during the 1930s. A two-time Congressional Medal of Honor winner and son of a powerful congressman, Butler was one of the most prominent military figures of his era. He witnessed firsthand the American expansionism of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, participating in all of the major conflicts and most of the minor ones. Following his retirement in 1931, Butler became an outspoken critic of American intervention, arguing in speeches and writings against war profiteering and the injustices of expansionism. His critiques represented a wide swath of public opinion at the time – the majority of Americans supported anti-interventionist policies through 1939. Yet unlike other members of the movement, Butler based his theories not on abstract principles, but on experiences culled from decades of soldiering: the terrors and wasted resources of the battlefield, ! ""! ! the use of the American military to bolster corrupt foreign governments, and the influence of powerful, domestic moneyed interests.

"EGO, SCRIPTOR CANTILENAE": THE CANTOS AND EZRA POUND An Abstract of a Thesis Submitted in Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Philosophy Steven R. Gulick University of Northern Iowa August 1991 ABSTRACT Can poetry "make new" the world? Ezra Pound thought so. In "Cantico del Sole" he said: "The thought of what America would be like/ If the Classics had a wide circulation/ Troubles me in my sleep" (Personae 183). He came to write an 815 page poem called The Cantos in which he presents "fragments" drawn from the literature and documents of the past in an attempt to build a new world, "a paradiso terreste" (The Cantos 802). This may be seen as either a noble gesture or sheer egotism. Pound once called The Cantos the "tale of the tribe" (Guide to Kulchur 194), and I believe this is so, particularly if one associates this statement with Allen Ginsberg's concerning The Cantos as a model of a mind, "like all our minds" (Ginsberg 14-16).

  • Ouida Bergère
    Ouida Bergère Also Known As: Eulalia Bergère, Ida Bergère, Mrs. George Fitzmaurice, Mrs. Basil Rathbone Lived: December 14, 1885 - November 29, 1974 Worked as: adapter, film actress, scenario editor, screenwriter Worked In: United States by Laura Jacquelyn Simmons Ouida Bergère was perhaps best known in the film industry as Mrs. Basil Rathbone and party hostess extraordinaire. However, before her marriage, to Rathbone, Bergère was a prominent and top paid scenario writer. Bergère was born in Spain, but moved to the US at the age of six. Her father was French-Spanish and her mother, British (Lowrey 1920, 22). There is some conflicting information regarding her birth name; most sources claim she was born Ida Bergère, others Eulalia Bergère. Regardless, upon entering the film industry, she changed her name to Ouida. Bergère began her film career by serving as scenario editor and actress for Pathé Freres, eventually writing her own scripts and branching out to other companies, including Vitagraph and Famous Players-Lasky, according to the New York Dramatic Mirror in 1915 (24). Much of Bergère’s screenwriting career coincides with the career of her second husband, George Fitzmaurice, to whom she was married before Rathbone. She met Fitzmaurice after she started her screenwriting career, and after their marriage, he directed almost all of the films she wrote. As is the case with the many Hollywood marriages, Bergère’s relationship to Fitzmaurice must be considered when discussing her career, and, typically, because her career was so closely linked to that of Fitzmaurice, there is confusion about their credits. She very well might have had her hand in directing some of the films that have been credited to him, as was the case with other couples such as actress Alice Terry and director Rex Ingram.
