    THE DOUBLE-VOICED NARRATIVES OF MARIA EDGEWORTH, SOMERVILLE AND ROSS, AND ELIZABETH BOWEN By SARAH MARGARET MALLONEE A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2009 1 © 2009 Sarah Margaret Mallonee 2 To my grandparents 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS My acknowledgements are many and heartfelt, but they start with three people who make every day better than the one before. I start with my parents, then, who most recently reminded me, with a kindness and graciousness unique to them, that they were in this with me ―for the long haul.‖ That it has been. What they signed on for took some time to see to its completion, but for their unwavering, unimaginably strong support, I am totally humbled and forever grateful. John D. Mallonee, M.D. and Elizabeth Heard Mallonee, M.A. set high standards for their children and this has always helped me keep a strong work ethic, a dedication to my goals, and an enthusiasm for all that I endeavor; I thank them for that. In the same breath that I thank my parents, I thank my constant companion, Elliott N. Gamsey, who brings the ―make it so‖ attitude to our lives and readily shares the tenderness, strength, and joy that emanates from his heart and his hands. What I should be most thankful for, I suppose, are the many songs, videos, comics, articles, and bits of news Elliott has used over the years to keep me sane along the way.

This novel is a work of fiction. Names, characters, places, and incidents either are the products of the author's imagination or are used fictitiously, and any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, events, or locales is entirely coincidental. -1- C:\younghoward\younghoward.txt Friday, June 07, 2013 2:30 PM PREFACE This is my secret autobiography of my childhood. I keep it in encrypted form on my personal computer where only I can get at it. My password is pAtTypUkE. I don't want it to be published or known while I'm alive, but kept only for my private masturbation fantasies. I will supply the password to it in my will, with instructions to my lawyer to release it fifty years after my death. In case anybody cracks it, beware of the curse of Tutankhamen and respect its privacy. In the extremely unlikely event that somebody does crack it and publish it, I'm warning you: at least have the human decency to obliterate my name and label it as fiction. I make millions a year and can hire detectives and sue your ass off can't I? Labelled as fiction about a fictional character, I have plausible deniability and so do you. Humor me, okay? Note from the Editor. This document was indeed hacked and then mutilated as it circulated furiously around the Howard fan sites on the Web, with many Billy Shakespeares making anonymous additions.
