April 1995 vom Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures und am 24. April 1995 von der Graduate School der University of Kansas als Dissertation angenommen. An dieser Stelle möchte ich zunächst Herm Prof. Dr. Peter Rehder für die Aufnahme dieser Dissertation in seine Reihe danken. Ich möchte auch meine Dankbarkeit mehreren Personen gegenüber zum Ausdruck bringen, die mir bei dieser Arbeit behilflich waren und besondere Anerkennung verdienen.

His professionalism in all aspects of the project from critical commentary to professional guidance, was instrumental in bringing this project to a successful close and made the entire dissertation process a relatively painless experience. The other dissertation committee members, Dr. Joseph Conrad, Dr. Jadwiga Maurer, Dr. Robert Rankin and Dr. Donald Watkins, also deserve a word of acknowledgement for their efforts on my behalf. Herm Prof. Dr. Lewis Tusken, meinem ersten Russischlehrer und jetzt guten Freund, der mir einmal gesagt hat, “you don4 really set out to get a Ph.D., you just keep going until all of a sudden you’re there", möchte ich hier gestehen, daß er vollkommen recht hane. To my parents, the Rev. Richard and Charlene Lauersdorf, who were convinced that I would never get out of school, I would like to say thanks for the innumerable things that they have done along the way. A mes beaux-parents, Michel et Jacqueline Dupuis, qui nous ont gâtés de nombreuses manières ces dernières années, je dis merci de tout coeur. C'est finalement à ma femme.
