V ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Having spent many years involved in this project, I have many people to thank for seeing me through to the end. I must begin with Professor Sarah Sherman who directed this endeavor and shepherded me through the dissertation process of scholarship with kindness, wisdom, grace, and patience. I thank her for bearing with me throughout, and for advising me on matters both professional and practical. In addition to my gratitude for Sarah’s feedback on my work, it is Sarah I must thank for impressing upon me that a bowl of cereal does not a dinnertime meal make and for taking the time to introduce me to Mark Bittman’s How to Cook Everything. I am grateful to the members of my dissertation committee— Professors Brigitte Bailey, John Ernest, Monica Chiu and Delia Konzett— for their patience and insight and for a great conversation in the end. Professor Peter Mascuch introduced me to Peyton Place during my last semester of coursework. Little did I know that it would be the book that changed my life. This paper benefited from the many thoughtful responses it received along the way from several members of the English 999 reading group in the UNH Department of English. Laura Smith deserves special recognition for keeping me well stocked with chocolate at critical junctures and for keeping my spirits from ebbing during the final push. Cindy Glidden, the Graduate School’s formatting guru, fielded a barrage of nerve-wracked, detail-oriented questions with a saint’s patience and good humor. Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner. Further reproduction prohibited without permission. I owe a large debt of thanks to an enormously supportive faculty in the Department of Humanities at Colby-Sawyer College who brought me on as a Visiting Instructor while I was still in the midst of my early draft. It was that year of teaching full time that reminded me how much I really do love this work. Professor Thomas Kealy took the time to read messy drafts of a middle chapter and said delightfully encouraging things about it. Professor Ann Page Stecker always made sure I was extraordinarily well and finely fed. Professor Hester Fuller provided me with an opportunity to present my work-in-progress to the Colby-Sawyer faculty as part of the college’s Faculty Development Seminar. Elizabeth Krajewski, Carrie Thomas, and Landon Hall at the Susan Colgate Cleveland Library at Colby-Sawyer all acted as sounding boards for my ideas when I found myself in need of a stroll away from my workspace at the window. On the homefront, Clara Burroughs helped me to keep my home in order and my head on straight with many a coffee-and-baby talk. My colleagues at New Hampshire Public Radio were ever-encouraging and kept me socialized by providing me with many a lunch date. Karol, Ed, Ashley, Amy and Amanda Iwany provided a loving home away from home to my daughter during my working hours. Yangchen, Jeff, Tenzin, Norbu, and Ngawang Dickinson also put in many hours keeping Trixie entertained, well fed and well rested as I wrote. Paula and David Dickinson did the same, making sure that Trixie never lacked for books during her visits, and that I never lacked for a quiet space in which to think and write. Josephine Crisp shook a loving finger in my face and told me to get the Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner. Further reproduction prohibited without permission. vii paper done already. I thank my sister-in-law Sarah for not telling her brother that he was crazy to marry someone who was A.B.D. My dearest, darlingest friends, Mariana Patton and Dawn Dreyer always reminded me of ail that I do have, even when what I didn’t have was a done dissertation. And there are still more.... I must take a moment to express my deepest appreciation to my phenomenal mother-in-law, Donna Duclos, who has always shown enormous generosity of time, spirit, space (for which we are eternally thankful), and faith that I would really get it done...eventually. Had she not surprised me with the gift of a laptop computer, I might still be toiling away at this project. My brother Marc empathized with me in my initial ambivalence and overwhelmedness in this undertaking and stuck by me throughout. My parents never doubted that I would do this...the hard way. And so I did with their love and support. My fabulous, fantastic daughter Beatrice helped me to get my priorities straight. And then there is Spencer: my partner in marriage, parenthood, and playtime. It is entirely possible, as he well knows, that I wouldn’t have done this without him. Spencer, may you never again ask me how many pages I have written at the end of a day. Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner. Further reproduction prohibited without permission.

I was swept up by the movie Blackboard Jungle (1955) and its theme song, Bill Haley’s “Rock around the Clock,” which was played every ten minutes on the radio because no other white rock-n-roll songs yet existed. At the same instant, I found my first lover in James Dean, in his jackets, his motorcycle, his face, his attitude, his verite. When he was killed at age twenty-four on September 30, 1955, I was sixteen, a junior in high school, and stricken with grief. Even though I was in the Catholic seminary and was a sexually pure boy, art and literature and movies cancelled my chances of being paro- chial.

Insbesondere der melodramatische Roman Peyton Place und seine diversen, transme- dialen Wiedergeburten erweist sich so als Schauplatz einer komplexen Selbstreflexion, in welcher die verschiedenen Medien nicht zuletzt auch ihre eigene, ungewisse und illegitime Genealogie zur Diskussion stellen.

  • Parents and Surrogate Parents
    Parents and Surrogate Parents Harriet Jordan, 2003 Written as part of the M.Litt. program at the University of Sydney, in the subject Pulp Fiction: Medieval and Modern. The relationship most commonly represented in literature is probably the romantic/sexual relationship between a man and a woman (or, occasionally, between two people of the same gender). However, the parent-child relationship is found almost as frequently. This is not always a biological relationship: a text will often make it clear that two people from different generations exist in either a formal or informal surrogate parent-child relationship. The main action of Floris and Blauncheflour is initiated by the fairly standard situation of a parent who does not agree with his child’s choice of romantic partner. In this case, there is a slight twist, in that the Saracen king is effectively father to both children, even though he only has a blood relationship with Floris. However, when he realises that the children love each other, and “when they were of age, / That her love wolde noght swage, / Nor he might noght her love withdraw / When Florys shuld wife after the lawe”1, he shows no hesitation in sacrificing Blauncheflour to protect the future of his biological child. It is only the intervention of his Queen that prevents him from ordering Blauncheflour’s death; and, had Floris not attempted suicide over her supposed “death”, it is likely that he would never have learned the truth. Although he is ultimately redeemed, the King fails both his child and his surrogate child in the handling of this situation.

    DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A FEMINIST LITERARY PERSPECTIVE Susan Koppelman Cornillon A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 1975 Graduate School Representativ BOWLING GREEN STATE UNIVERSITY LIBRARY a. © 1975 SUSAN KOPPELMAN CORNILLON ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii 610310 -SM» A'W VMi .^00 ABSTRACT This study examines the need for feminist criticism and how best to fill it. Feminist criticism is needed to restore objectivity to a literature and criticism distorted by sexism. The most pernicious effects of masculine bias upon the cre­ ation and consumption of literature are expressed through the literary-critical establishment--publishers, critics, profes­ sors, and librarians. Sexist criticism in its most insidious form masks biased evaluations as objective description, and removes literature and criticism from its socio-historical context. The subjec­ tive distortion implicit in a sexist perspective is fundamen­ tally hierarchical; it imposes a vertical evaluative structure upon a multi-faceted socio-historical reality. A critical per­ spective that divorces evaluative distinctions from a socio- historical rationale, whilst claiming that these idealistic dis­ tinctions are anything more than objectifications of subjective bias, and uses that structure to determine the creation and con­ sumption of literature, seriously censors writers' and readers' perception of history and society, censorship that for women has proven spiritually crippling and murderous. So traditionally evaluative literary categorizations have been ignored. To liberate the literary-critical establishment from con­ trol by the masculino-centric critical conspiracy, means must be provided to unite feminist critics in creating and propaga­ ting feminist perspectives.
