It is replacing cypress in New England, Ohio, New York and Indiana.The customer can always get his orders filled by the Pacific Spruce Corporation through the C. D. John- son Lumber Co. Vertical Grain Fir FlooringThe installa- tion of a gang mill and a pony band gives the Pacific Spruce Corporation unusual facilities for producing vertical grain fir flooring (as well as fir and spruce uppers), and insures a plentiful supply of this remarkable flooring, always on hand in the dry lumber room ready for shipment. Orders can be filled within two and a half or three hours after being received. The uniformity of this product as to quality and gradeis assured for all time by the quality of the timber and the uniform process of manufacture.

[MUSIC PLAYING] ED: From the Virginia Foundation for the Humanities, this is BackStory. JOANNE: Welcome to BackStory, the show that explains the history behind today's headlines. I'm Joanne Freeman. NATHAN: I'm Nathan Connolly. ED: And I'm Ed Ayers. JOANNE: OK, so Nathan, Ed, I want to introduce you to a historical character who I'm particularly fond of. ED: I'll look forward to meeting him or her. JOANNE: He's a little quirky but really interesting. Picture this. It's Washington, DC. It's 1802. A man named William Plumer has just been elected to the Senate from New Hampshire, so the capitol is his base. Now imagine-- Plumer's a guy. He's kind of tall. He's kind of thin. He's not really a flashy dresser. In that sense, he's kind of New England-ish. So Plumer moves to the capitol at a time of pretty intense political divisions. His party, the Federalist, had just been booted out of power by Thomas Jefferson's Republican Party. ED: So I guess not everything has changed in Washington since 1802, huh? JOANNE: No, definitely not. So he arrives in Washington, and he's grouchy. He already feels like he's an outsider and everything that he loves might be crashing to ruin. [MUSIC PLAYING] So, early in his term, Plumer is wandering around the halls of the capitol, and he stumbles across a lumber room and peeks inside.

    “I AM A FREE HUMAN BEING WITH AN INDEPENDENT WILL”: A JOURNEY TOWARDS FREEDOM WITHIN THE SPACES OF CHARLOTTE BRONTË’S JANE EYRE By CLAIRE BETH KARNAP A THESIS PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2018 © 2018 Claire Beth Karnap To my Mom, Dad, and Katiebug ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Sometimes tasks appear impossible, and you need specific people in your life to provide encouragement throughout the journey. Similar to Brontë’s Jane Eyre, I often search for corner spaces where I can create safe environments for myself—a place to become intellectually stronger, resilient, and free. When I read British literature from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries the corner spaces appear within the stories, providing a refuge where I can use my own creativity to interpret the texts. This is what makes me happy and I thank my parents for their unwavering support throughout my education and for their belief in my abilities. I thank Dr. Judith Page, my professor, committee chair, and advisor, who always offered guidance through this process and assisted in the revisions. I thank Dr. Roger Maioli for his encouragement and advisement, as both my professor and reader. Lastly, I would like to thank Dr. Leah Rosenberg who encouraged me to complete my thesis and continues to provide advisement with my studies. 4 TABLE OF CONTENTS page ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ...............................................................................................................4
