    REPRESENTATIONS OF WOMEN IN SELECTED WORKS OF HERBERT GEORGE DE LISSER (1878 - 1944) Donna-Marie Urbanowicz. BA (Hons), MA Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of American & Canadian Studies July 2013 This thesis is dedicated to my beloved husband, who never stopped believing in me. ABSTRACT This thesis examines the intellectual significance of early Caribbean writer Herbert George de Lisser in his literary writings and as such is a work of recovery and criticism. Each chapter concentrates on a specific, predominantly European, literary genre and investigates how de Lisser experiments with these genres in order to not only support and recognise the emergence of a local national literature, but also to create a cultural national identity based upon the symbolic use of women to define Jamaica as a nation. Situating de Lisser within colonial discourse and the socio-political arena of the British Empire, the introduction sets out the postcolonial theoretical framework and relocates de Lisser within the context of West Indian literature, debating his literary neglect alongside his need to be reclaimed. Chapter I debates the traditional notions of nationhood and examines the dislocation and (re)gendering of nation and nationhood through the lens of women as founders of a nation with the main emphasis on his novel "Anacanoa." Chapter II concentrates on de Lisser's "historical" novels and explores the representation of heroism and the search for a national identity in two of de Lisser's novels, Revenge and Psyche, written at the beginning and the end of his career.
