Without his insightful instruction, this thesis would be laden with flaws. Next, I am also indebted to Dr. Jacqueline Stodnick and Dr. Kevin Gustafson, whose valuable suggestions improve the reading of this thesis. Besides, I would like to thank my parents for their financial assistance so that I can pursue my studies without being troubled by monetary matters. In addition, I am very grateful to my sister who generously gives her warm care for me while I stay at her place to refresh myself from academic studies. Finally, I thank all my friends for their kind support and concern for me when I was in difficulties. Without their help, this thesis could not come into being.

DOMESTIC IDEOLOGY IN GEORGE GISSING’S THE ODD WOMEN Publication No . ______ Kuo-wei Hsu, M.A. The University of Texas at Arlington, 2005 Supervising Professor: Martin Danahay Although George Gissing is acclaimed for his progressive thoughts on liberating women from patriarchy by establishing financial independence, s ome critics challenge such praise for Gissing by arguing that he is still confined within patriarchal thinking because he still adheres to domestic ideology, which advocates that women should stay within the domestic sphere and be protected from co rruption of the outside world.

  • Midnight Sun, Part II by PA Lassiter
    Midnight Sun, Part II by PA Lassiter . N.B. These chapters are based on characters created by Stephenie Meyer in Twilight, the novel. The title used here, Midnight Sun, some of the chapter titles, and all the non-interior dialogue between Edward and Bella are copyright Stephenie Meyer. The first half of Ms. Meyer’s rough-draft novel, of which this is a continuation, can be found at her website here: http://www.stepheniemeyer.com/pdf/midnightsun_partial_draft4.pdf 12. COMPLICATIONSPart B It was well after midnight when I found myself slipping through Bella’s window. This was becoming a habit that, in the light of day, I knew I should attempt to curb. But after nighttime fell and I had huntedfor though these visits might be irresponsible, I was determined they not be recklessall of my resolve quickly faded. There she lay, the sheet and blanket coiled around her restless body, her feet bound up outside the covers. I inhaled deeply through my nose, welcoming the searing pain that coursed down my throat. As always, Bella’s bedroom was warm and humid and saturated with her scent. Venom flowed into my mouth and my muscles tensed in readiness. But for what? Could I ever train my body to give up this devilish reaction to my beloved’s smell? I feared not. Cautiously, I held my breath and moved to her bedside. I untangled the bedclothes and spread them carefully over her again. She twitched suddenly, her legs scissoring as she rolled to her other side. I froze. “Edward,” she breathed.

  • Nostromo a Tale of the Seaboard
    NOSTROMO A TALE OF THE SEABOARD By Joseph Conrad "So foul a sky clears not without a storm." —SHAKESPEARE TO JOHN GALSWORTHY Prepared and Published by: Ebd E-BooksDirectory.com AUTHOR'S NOTE "Nostromo" is the most anxiously meditated of the longer novels which belong to the period following upon the publication of the "Typhoon" volume of short stories. I don't mean to say that I became then conscious of any impending change in my mentality and in my attitude towards the tasks of my writing life. And perhaps there was never any change, except in that mysterious, extraneous thing which has nothing to do with the theories of art; a subtle change in the nature of the inspiration; a phenomenon for which I can not in any way be held responsible. What, however, did cause me some concern was that after finishing the last story of the "Typhoon" volume it seemed somehow that there was nothing more in the world to write about. This so strangely negative but disturbing mood lasted some little time; and then, as with many of my longer stories, the first hint for "Nostromo" came to me in the shape of a vagrant anecdote completely destitute of valuable details. As a matter of fact in 1875 or '6, when very young, in the West Indies or rather in the Gulf of Mexico, for my contacts with land were short, few, and fleeting, I heard the story of some man who was supposed to have stolen single-handed a whole lighter-full of silver, somewhere on the Tierra Firme seaboard during the troubles of a revolution.

  • Affective Memory in Jean Rhys's Good
    ERICA L. JOHNSON Haunted: Affective Memory in Jean Rhys’s Good Morning, Midnight Jean Rhys’s 1939 novel, Good Morning, Midnight chronicles the movements and, for lack of a better word, memories of Sasha Jensen during a two-week stay in Paris, the city where she lived many years earlier. Far from a nostalgic return, Sasha’s visit is steeped in a past for which she does not yearn: she willfully shuts down the many memories that resurface as she walks down all-too familiar streets and seeks anonymity in the city’s cafés. Her past in Paris renders her visit a “complicated affair” of trying to avoid places, people, or things that trigger thoughts of her past. However, hotel rooms are so haunted that they actually speak to her of “old times,” the streets lead her not across town but into the past, and mirrors “keep a ghost to throw back at […] one—lightly, like an echo.”1 Sasha attempts to keep her past at bay because so much of it is circumscribed by shame and humiliation; however, one of the most powerful effects of shame is precisely its preservation of experience and knowledge. Rhys shows how time itself is short-circuited by the shame affect and she thereby reconfigures the workings of memory, for what becomes of memory when there is no distance between different moments in time—when Sasha doesn’t “know whether it’s yesterday, today, or tomorrow[?]” (145). What is the meaning of memory when the gap between the past and present is closed? What is the nature of memory when one’s knowledge of the past is almost entirely involuntary? For the shame subject, memory becomes less of a cognitive than an affective function, as we see in Rhys’s singular depiction of it.
