    Copyright by Christopher Damien Chung 2008 The Dissertation Committee for Christopher Damien Chung certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: “Almost Unnamable”: Suicide in the Modernist Novel Committee: Alan Friedman, Supervisor Mia Carter Tony Hilfer Charles Rossman Elizabeth Pomeroy “Almost Unnamable”: Suicide in the Modernist Novel by Christopher Damien Chung, B.A. Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Texas at Austin May 2008 Acknowledgements I owe an incalculable debt of gratitude to my advisor, Alan Friedman, who posed the question that led to this dissertation and whose unflagging encouragement motivated me to persevere when the end seemed unattainable. I am also indebted to Mia Carter, Charles Rossman, Elizabeth Pomeroy, and Tony Hilfer for their perceptive criticism, kind words, and enthusiasm, all of which sustained me throughout the writing process. Unfortunately, Tony Hilfer, an inimitable teacher and human being, died in a car accident while driving to my dissertation defense – a tragic occurrence that saddens me enormously. Tony taught one of my first graduate seminars, and he was the first UT English professor that I esteemed, one who regularly shared with his students his awe- inspiring knowledge of literature, rousing intellectual curiosity, and deep compassion for other people, both fictional and actual. I am delighted that he saw my graduate career commence and cheered me on through its middle stages; I wish he were a part of its conclusion. Friends have kept me sane and honest.

  • Building an Unwanted Nation: the Anglo-American Partnership and Austrian Proponents of a Separate Nationhood, 1918-1934
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Carolina Digital Repository BUILDING AN UNWANTED NATION: THE ANGLO-AMERICAN PARTNERSHIP AND AUSTRIAN PROPONENTS OF A SEPARATE NATIONHOOD, 1918-1934 Kevin Mason A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of PhD in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2007 Approved by: Advisor: Dr. Christopher Browning Reader: Dr. Konrad Jarausch Reader: Dr. Lloyd Kramer Reader: Dr. Michael Hunt Reader: Dr. Terence McIntosh ©2007 Kevin Mason ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Kevin Mason: Building an Unwanted Nation: The Anglo-American Partnership and Austrian Proponents of a Separate Nationhood, 1918-1934 (Under the direction of Dr. Christopher Browning) This project focuses on American and British economic, diplomatic, and cultural ties with Austria, and particularly with internal proponents of Austrian independence. Primarily through loans to build up the economy and diplomatic pressure, the United States and Great Britain helped to maintain an independent Austrian state and prevent an Anschluss or union with Germany from 1918 to 1934. In addition, this study examines the minority of Austrians who opposed an Anschluss . The three main groups of Austrians that supported independence were the Christian Social Party, monarchists, and some industries and industrialists. These Austrian nationalists cooperated with the Americans and British in sustaining an unwilling Austrian nation. Ultimately, the global depression weakened American and British capacity to practice dollar and pound diplomacy, and the popular appeal of Hitler combined with Nazi Germany’s aggression led to the realization of the Anschluss .

    Russian Military Culture during the Reigns of Catherine II and Paul I, 1762-1801 by Eugene Miakinkov A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History Department of History and Classics University of Alberta ©Eugene Miakinkov, 2015 Abstract This study explores the shape and development of military culture during the reign of Catherine II. Next to the institutions of the autocracy and the Orthodox Church, the military occupied the most important position in imperial Russia, especially in the eighteenth century. Rather than analyzing the military as an institution or a fighting force, this dissertation uses the tools of cultural history to explore its attitudes, values, aspirations, tensions, and beliefs. Patronage and education served to introduce a generation of young nobles to the world of the military culture, and expose it to its values of respect, hierarchy, subordination, but also the importance of professional knowledge. Merit is a crucial component in any military, and Catherine’s military culture had to resolve the tensions between the idea of meritocracy and seniority. All of the above ideas and dilemmas were expressed in a number of military texts that began to appear during Catherine’s reign. It was during that time that the military culture acquired the cultural, political, and intellectual space to develop – a space I label the “military public sphere”. This development was most clearly evident in the publication, by Russian authors, of a range of military literature for the first time in this era. The military culture was also reflected in the symbolic means used by the senior commanders to convey and reinforce its values in the army.

  • Religion: Christianity and Zoroastrianism
    This page intentionally left blank ROME AND PERSIA IN LATE ANTIQUITY The foundation of the Sasanian Empire in ad 224 established a formidable new power on the Roman Empire’s Eastern frontier, and relations over the next four centuries proved turbulent. This book provides a chronological narrative of their relationship, supported by a substantial collection of translated sources illustrating important themes and structural patterns. The political goals of the two sides, their military confrontations and their diplomatic solutions are dis- cussed, as well as the common interests between the two powers. Special attention is given to the situation of Arabia and Armenia, to economic aspects, the protection of the frontiers, the religious life in both empires and the channels of communication between East and West. In its wide chronological scope, the study explores the role played by the Sasanians in the history of the ancient Near East. The book will prove invaluable for students and non-specialists interested in late antiquity and early Byzantium, and it will be equally useful for specialists on these subjects. beate dignas is Fellow and Tutorin Ancient History at Somerville College, Oxford.

  • The Brain of the Most Beautiful Girl in the World by Corey Hoard
    The Brain of the Most Beautiful Girl in the World by Corey Hoard “My face has been my misfortune… a mask I cannot remove: I must live with it. I curse it.” – Hedwig Kiesler, qtd. in Shearer 112 Hedwig Kiesler was a woman of dimensionality, of many names and surprising talents. She thrived on fantasy and fame but took solace in independence of mind. From the moment of her arrival in America, she was heralded as “the most beautiful girl in the world.” Even today, Kiesler is, for many, a symbol of the Golden Era of cinema. Over her lifetime, she had seven high-profile husbands, and to the public, lived a lavish life of wealth and success. However, from a young age, Kiesler’s beauty would reveal itself as both an asset and a curse, as she embraced and battled with it by turns throughout her life. Her face would prove both her prison and her liberator. Hedwig Eva Maria Kiesler was born on November 9th, 1914 in Vienna, Austria, the only child of a humble Jewish family. Despite their social status, her parents tried to raise Kiesler in relative privilege, exposing her to culture early in life. Her beauty was apparent from a young age, and Kiesler’s parents were careful to avoid flattering her to promote modesty. Despite their efforts, she became accustomed to using her appearance to get what she wanted by, as Shearer puts it, “becoming a chameleon, willing to change herself to please others” (283). Hedwig—or “Hedy,” as she was affectionately known—was strongly independent from a young age, prompting her parents to impose strict rules that would inevitably be broken.
