Spriggs, Bianca L. "Women of the Apocalypse: Afrospeculative Feminist Novelists." UKnowledge, 2017. http://uknowledge.uky.edu/english_etds/56.

Full text

Abstract:

“Women of the Apocalypse: Feminist Afrospeculative Writers,” seeks to address the problematic ‘Exodus narrative,’ a convention that has helped shape Black American liberation politics dating back to the writings of Phyllis Wheatley. Novels by Zora Neale Hurston, Octavia Butler, and Alice Walker undermine and complicate this narrative by challenging the trope of a single charismatic male leader who leads an entire race to a utopic promised land. For these writers, the Exodus narrative is unsustainable for a number of reasons, not the least of which is because there is no room for women to operate outside of the role of supportive wives. The mode of speculative fiction is well suited to crafting counter-narratives to Exodus mythology because of its ability to place marginalized voices in the center from the stance of ‘What next?’ My project is a hybrid in that I combine critical theory with original poems. The prose section of each chapter contextualizes a novel and its author with regard to Exodus mythology. However, because novels can only reveal so much about character development, I identify spaces to engage and elaborate upon the conversation incited by these authors’ feminist protagonists. In the tradition of Black American poets such as, Ai, Patricia Smith, Rita Dove, and Tyehimba Jess, in my own personal creative work, I regularly engage historical figures through recovering the narratives of underrepresented voices. To write in persona or limited omniscient, spotlighting an event where the reader possesses incomplete information surrounding a character’s experience, the result becomes a kind of call-and-response interaction with these novels.

Mothersole, Brenda. "Female philanthropy and women novelists of 1840-1870." Thesis, Brunel University, 1989. http://bura.brunel.ac.uk/handle/2438/4389.

Full text

Abstract:

Many women writers between 1840 and 1870 were producing a particular form of social or "social protest" novel which is identified here as a "philanthropic novel", a form distinguishable in content and tone from social novels written by men of the same period. The philanthropic novel is a work which has as its main protagonist a philanthropic heroine who is modelled - perhaps more covertly than overtly but significantly so - on the great revolutionary female philanthropists and social campaigners of the day, such as Elizabeth Fry, Florence Nightingale and Josephine Butler. Despite the social and economic constraints imposed on women, the middle years of the nineteenth century saw an unprecedented upsurge of both women novelists and women philanthropists. A high proportion of women writers, including Elizabeth Gaskell and Charlotte Yonge, were philanthropists themselves; others, like Charlotte Bronte and George Eliot, admired the activities of eminent women philanthropists. Although, the majority of women novelists lacked the wider experience of politics, the law and commerce which was available to male writers, they now had available to them this new experience of philanthropy to draw upon for their novels. Notably, philanthropic heroines created by male authors, such as Charles Dickens, Benjamin Disraeli and Charles Kingsley, were more commonly depicted along conventional stereotyped lines as "ministering angels" : the male authors were less inclined to rely on actual women philanthropists as models even though they were personally acquainted with many of these revolutionary women. This analytical and psychological enquiry into the social history and novels of the period, reveals that the philanthropic novel not only played a crucial part in the developing literary tradition of women; it also led to a new, freer consciousness for women which assisted in a reappraisal of themselves and their worth to the wider community.

Raw, David Garforth. "Compassion without compensation : the novelists and Baron Bramwell." Thesis, University of Newcastle upon Tyne, 2013. http://hdl.handle.net/10443/2275.

Full text

Abstract:

My purpose in this thesis is to explore the work of Nineteenth Century Condition of England novelists and to identify how and to what extent they addressed issues of industrial safety and used their skills to identify problems. I looked at the developing law of negligence over the period 1830-1880 with particular reference to compensation for injured workpeople and to the role played by the common law judiciary. My researches revealed that one judge, Baron Bramwell, carried great influence but used the common law as a tool to prevent injured employees from recovering damages. I identified Charles Dickens, who was acquainted with Bramwell, as the novelist who had the skills and outlets to make the greatest impression in the fight for reform. I consider whether there was any common ground between Dickens and Bramwell and thus seek to use Literature as a comfortable adjunct to Legal History in telling the story of the law’s development over the period in the field of industrial safety and of the search for an humane compensation system.

Darlington, J. A. "Contextualising British experimental novelists in the long sixties." Thesis, University of Salford, 2014. http://usir.salford.ac.uk/31430/.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis focuses upon five novelists – B.S. Johnson, Eva Figes, Alan Burns, Ann Quin, and Christine Brooke-Rose – whose works during the 1960s and early 1970s (Marwick’s “Long Sixties”) represent a unique approach to formal innovation; an approach contemporaneously labelled as “experimental”. A number of attempts have been made to categorise and group these texts with varying levels of success. Utilising new archive research, this thesis aims to unpack for the first time the personal relationships between these writers, their relationship to the historical moment in which they worked, and how these contextual elements impacted upon their experimental novels. The thesis is broken into six chapters; a long introductory chapter in which the group is placed in context and five chapters in which each writer’s career is reassessed individually. The B.S. Johnson chapter focuses upon how shifting class formations during the post-war era impact upon the writer’s sense of class consciousness within his texts. The Eva Figes chapter encounters her novels through the consideration of her contribution to feminist criticism and the impact of the Second World War. The Alan Burns chapter investigates the impact of William Burroughs upon British experimental writing and the politics of physical textual manipulation. The Ann Quin chapter engages with experimental theatre and new theories of being appearing in the Sixties which palpably inform her work. The Christine Brooke-Rose chapter reassesses her four novels between 1964 and 1975 in relation to the idea of “experimental literature” proposed in the rest of the thesis in order to argue its fundamental difference from the postmodernism Brooke-Rose practices in her novels after 1984. Overall, by presenting the “experimental” novelists of the Sixties in context this thesis argues that a unity of purpose can be located within the group in spite of the heterogeneity of aesthetics created by each individual writer; overcoming the primary challenge such a grouping presents to literary scholars.

Hand, Richard James. "Self-adaptation : the stage dramatisation of fiction by novelists." Thesis, University of Glasgow, 1996. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/1912/.

Full text

Abstract:

The stage dramatisation of fiction is a common and increasingly popular practice. Normally, a dramatist will take a novelist's work and adapt it, but there are cases dating back to at least the sixteenth century where novelists themselves have attempted to dramatise their own fiction. In the context of British theatre, it was not until the 1911 Copyright Act that novelists had copyright over the dramatisation of their original work. For this reason, novelists were obliged to adapt their own fiction to protect it against unauthorised dramatisation. Several authors, however, adapted their novels for more than reasons of copyright. The glamour of the West End and the potential for financial reward lured the novelists into adaptation. In the numerous adaptations of Henry James the language of the fictional narrator invades his scripts, in the form of stage directions or forced into the mouths of the characters. James is fascinated by the technical aspect of drama and he did make a substantial effort to rewrite Daisy Miller to make it suitable for the dramatic genre, but this includes a disappointing use of stage clichés as part of the mechanics of stagecraft (such as melodramatic techniques and the "happy ending"). Thomas Hardy was enthusiastic about the stage in his youth and had some innovative ideas for the stage but never fully realised his concepts. The adaptation of Tess of the D'Urbervilles has some evocative imagery but is more like a medley of dramatic highlights separated by major ellipses than the panoramic and inexorable vision of the novel. In the adaptation of The Secret Agent, Conrad sustains a loyalty to the novel which mars the play with too many characters and an excess of exposition. Conrad's decision to be chronological in the adaptation strips the story of its sophistication and creates an uncompromising, even shocking, play. This could be seen as a merit as are Conrad's expressionistic touches and his treatment of heroism and insanity. Indeed, the play is a compulsive experience and claims that it is ahead of its time are perhaps justified.

Gunby, Ingrid Jennifer. "Postwar Englishness in the fiction of Pat Barker, Graham Swift and Adam Thorpe." Thesis, University of Leeds, 2002. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/2806/.

Full text

Abstract:

The widely-recognised crisis of Englishness in the 1980s and 1990s has generally been explained as a response to the end of empire. If the place of memories of the First and Second World Wars in this crisis has been considered at all, these have generally been assumed to support a nostalgic version of English or British national identity. Taking three contemporary British novelists-Graham Swift, Pat Barker and Adam Thorpe-as examples, however, this thesis argues that the late-twentiethcentury memory of these conflicts is strikingly ambivalent, and that the contemporary crisis of Englishness must be understood not only as postcolonial, but also, in a strong sense, as postwar. The Introduction sets out the parameters of critical discussion of latetwentieth-century Englishness to date and explains my use of the term 'postwar', as marking the continuing cultural legacy of the world wars, and the process of interrogative re-reading of that legacy undertaken in the contemporary fiction I discuss. It also challenges the assumption that 'nostalgia' and a 'healthy' attitude to the past can necessarily be easily distinguished, through a discussion of postFreudian psychoanalytic approaches to mourning and melancholia. Chapter One considers three writers of the early to mid-twentieth century, Siegfried Sassoon, J. B.Priestley, and Elizabeth Bowen, in order to suggest the nature of the questions about Englishness, war and violence which re-emerge with the breakdown of Britain's postwar social and political consensus from the mid-1970s onward. Chapter Two then discusses Graham Swift's early novels, The Sweet Shop Owner, Shuttlecock and Waterland, arguing that critical attention to his metafictional concerns in Waterland has meant that his interest in suburban English life as encrypting memories of war has been overlooked. Chapter Three proceeds to Pat Barker's The Regeneration Trilogy, charting a two-way process of haunting through which contemporary concerns with violence are read back into the historical and literary record of the First World War, and simultaneously seem to re-emerge in the present as the return of the violence underpinning a melancholic cultural attachment to the very English narrative of 'doomed youth'. My discussion in Chapter Four of Adam Thorpe's novels Ulverton, Still and Pieces of Light emphasises their exploration of the violence at the heart of the 'deep England' evoked in heritage representations of Englishness. I suggest, however, that Thorpe's attempts to find appropriate fictional forms for ambivalence and melancholia are at times closer to paralysed repetitions than to interrogations of Englishness. My argument concludes with a reading of Swift's Last Orders, which I contend enacts the beginnings of a movement beyond the wartime end of a certain England and Englishness. Its misreading by critics as parochial and nostalgic, I suggest, indicates the extent of critical misunderstanding of the troubled memory of the world wars in contemporary Britain. It also testifies to the difficulty and the necessity of the creative and critical work on postwar Englishness undertaken by the writers considered in this study.

How can concepts from literature and technology design combine to create new forms of storytelling on mobile devices? This paper examines the theory and practice of bringing literary techniques into mobile technology design. First I present a model of media technology evolution which is not progressive, but atemporal-grounded in the ongoing expressive challenges of the humanities. This theory forms the basis for what I call the exchange: temporary collaborations between creative writers and interaction designers which lead to new forms of fiction and communications technology. I promote close readings of literature as a starting point for the exchange, examining specific passages for mobile storytelling inspiration and innovative means of modeling users. I then look at nascent efforts in storytelling over mobile devices, focusing on museum tours, grassroots organizations, artist collectives, research groups, and, lastly, my own work. In the end, I advocate a hybrid form of "Moving Fiction," combining mobile media characters with live actors, music, and sensory input from the surrounding environment.

Full text

Abstract:

On account of their supposed link to nature, women in post-revolutionary France were pigeonholed into a very restrictive sphere that centred around domesticity and submission to their male counterparts. Yet this thesis shows how a number of women writers – Cottin, Genlis, Krüdener, Souza and Staël – re-appropriate nature in order to reclaim the voice denied to them and to their sex by the society in which they lived. The five chapters of this thesis are structured to follow a number of critical junctures in the life of an adult woman: marriage, authorship, motherhood, madness and mortality. The opening sections to each chapter show why these areas of life generated particular problems for women at this time. Then, through in-depth analysis of primary texts, the chapters function in two ways. They examine how female novelists craft natural landscapes to expose and comment on the problems male-dominant society causes women to experience in France at this time. In addition, they show how female novelists employ descriptions of nature to highlight women's responses to the pain and frustration that social issues provoke for them. Scholars have thus far overlooked the natural settings within the works of female novelists of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Yet, a re-evaluation of these natural settings, as suggested by this thesis, brings a new dimension to our appreciation of the works of these women writers and of their position as critics of contemporary society. Ultimately, an escape into nature on the part of female protagonists in these novels becomes the means by which their creators confront the everyday reality faced by women in the turbulent socio-historical era which followed the Revolution.

Abstract:

SELF-IDENTITY AND CERTAIN ANGLOPHONE AFRICAN AND WEST INDIAN NOVELISTS, IN COMPARATIVE PERSPECTIVE The issue of self-identity is at the heart of black Anglophone African and West Indian literature. The dual processes of slavery and colonialism conspired against the black man's sense of himself. Slavery irrevocably divided a once unified people into African and West Indian, and consigned them to second-classs tatus. Colonialism reinforced this by assertingw hite political overlordship on black societies. This study examines the attendant problems of self-identity from the point of view of certain black Anglophone African and West Indian novelists, in comparative perspective. These comprise George Lamming, Vic Reid, Wilson Harris, Ngugi Wa Thiong'o, and Wole Soyinka. The historical legacies of these writers is stamped indelibly with pain and loss. And yet, through their creative talents, they have translated the sufferings of their people into major works of fiction, producing two of the most vibrant and exciting literatures of our time.

Abstract:

"The Virgin Mary. Joseph. Peter. Mary Magdalene. Judas Iscariot. Pontius Pilate. Jesus. In They Love to Tell the Story: Five Contemporary Novelists Take on the Gospels, Kevin Brown examines how Nikos Kazantzakis, Anthony Burgess, Norman Mailer, Jose Saramago, and Nino Ricci portray each of the major figures from the gospel stories against the backdrop of biblical and legendary lore and depictions by some other contemporary novelists. The result is a many textured tapestry of insight and reflection in which Mary encourages her son to lead a normal life; Peter is coarse and rash, loyal and treacherous; Judas may well have understandable motives; and Jesus struggles with the temptations of love and power, revealing a divinity and a humanity vying for expression. By retelling stories people think they know, these five authors challenge their readers to confront assumptions and encourage all of us to ask ourselves why we believe or don't believe what we might well have long held to be true."--BACK COVER

Abstract:

This PhD is part novel and part thesis. The novel, The Girl Upstairs (TGU), is in three parts. Parts one and two are included here in full. A synopsis of part three is included in the appendices. The thesis presents an original “action model” for Creative Writing (CW) called “fictive responsibility”. TGU can be treated as a case study, demonstrating the practical application of this new model. TGU follows a Bengali-Muslim family as they confront the wayward behaviour of Kifah Rahman, a feisty sixteen-year-old. Set somewhere in south-west England, Kifah’s misadventures start when she discovers an envelope discarded in a drawer. The address is her mother’s childhood home across the city, but she’s never heard of the addressee, Zubi Rahman. Kifah sneaks off school to investigate. Kifah’s clandestine visits incite rumours and soon Kifah is accused of tarnishing the family’s reputation. TGU confronts the difficult subjects of “honour”-based-violence (HBV), domestic violence and “crimes-of-passion”. By exploring different types of violence-against-women (VAW), TGU shows how perceived differences in, for example, “culture”, religion, or heritage, rather than dividing us, can present new ways to connect across moral values or lifestyles, ultimately promoting togetherness and empathy between different cultures. The thesis explores how the “political” relates to “literature” through the writer’s creative process, suggesting that all novelists are inherently politicised individuals and fictions are produced through an inherently politicised process. The significance of this is undermined by those who claim fiction writers just “make it up”. Failing to recognise the “politics of representation” that operates alongside invention in CW has contributed to the recent exacerbation around “cultural appropriation”. For some writers this presents a threat to “free” expression. For others, “free” expression must be treated with respect, especially when fictionalising characters that appear external to the writer’s own experience. Theoretical and conceptual analysis is drawn from cultural studies, ethnography, literary criticism and philosophy. Case studies include fictions with Muslim female characters in a post-9/11 setting. In addition to literary analysis, the thesis explores how “authenticity” interacts with an author’s perceived affiliation with characters or themes within the fiction.

Abstract:

Paul Solanges was one of the most prolific (in correspondence) and enthusiastic fans of Australian author Henry Handel Richardson (HHR). What was it about him that made HHR invest so much time in his translation of her novel, and to what extent can credence be given to the self-portrait in his letters? This thesis reveals his illegitimate royal background, considers his early career as a cavalry officer in North Africa and in the Franco-Prussian War, and describes his long career as manager of the gasworks in Milan. It also portrays in detail his other life as a translator of songs, short stories and operas from Italian to French. Finally, it compares his relationship with Italian novelist Antonio Fogazzaro to his relationship with HHR. A critical edition of Solanges’s correspondence with Fogazzaro and HHR offers the reader a privileged insight into the life and character of this Franco-Italian littérateur.

Abstract:

The following dissertation considers the ways in which we have come to perceive of our post-apartheid South African urban spaces. It focusses on the representation of our contemporary urban spaces as I posit that they are re-imagined in the works of Phaswane Mpe, K.Sello Duiker, Nadine Gordimer and Lauren Beukes. In particular, it is concerned with the representation of Johannesburg, and specifically Hillbrow, in relation to the space of the rural, the suburban enclave and the city of Cape Town. I argue that while so-called urban ‘slums’ such as Hillbrow have been denigrated in the local imaginary, the texts that I have selected draw attention to the potentialities of such spaces. Rather than aspiring to ‘First World’ aesthetics of modernity then, we might come to see such spaces as Hillbrow anew, and even to learn from them as models, so as to better create more fully integrated and dynamic African cities.
