This collection is not meant to be a history book, but instead a creative work highlighting four participants in the battle of the Little Bighorn. Included, are actual events and people of the famous 1876 war between the American Indians and the U.S. 7"' Cavalry. Historical fiction is entwined within each piece to give readers a clear picture of what occurred on that June day. For instance, the author creates dialogue between the characters, while not knowing what each person actually said. Years of research has provided the author with insight into the characters, while assisting the National Park Service as a summer trail guide at the Little Bighorn helped the author to set each scene for readers. The authors repeated experiences at the battlefield has helped to form the choices made in these stories. Evidence found since the historic battle ended, and items discovered now, stress the importance that the search must go on. The stories of Custer, Reno, Wooden Leg and Edgerly deserve to be told in a contemporary way while remaining historically accurate. Educating others about the significant battle and how it shaped the American West is essential. / Department of English

David Lindsay's A Voyage to Arcturus must be read as an allegorical dream fantasy for its merit to be correctly discerned. Lindsay's central themes are introduced in a study of the man and his work. (Ch. 1). These themes are found to be common in allegorical dream fantasy, the phenomenological background of which is established (Ch. 2). A distinction can then be drawn between fantasy and romance, so as to define allegorical dream fantasy as a literary mode (Ch. 3). After the biographical, theoretical and literary backgrounds of A Voyage have been established in the first three chapters, the second three chapters explicate the structure of the book as an allegorical dream fantasy. Finally, the dichotomies which have been found in Lindsay (between Lloyd's underwriter and visionary dreamer), between the dream and the real world, between fantasy and romance, are found to be unified by Norman N. Holland's theory of literature as transformation / Arts, Faculty of / English, Department of / Graduate

The purpose of this study is to determine what effect six real women in Jack London's life had upon the development of fictional women found in thirty-eight of London's short stories. The six women were Flora Wellman London, Bess Maddern London, Charmian Kittredge London, Anna Strunsky, Mabel Applegarth, and Ina Coolbrith. The study will reveal previously unpublished information about these women based on letters, interviews with people who knew them, and previously uncited newspaper and magazine articles. It will also offer, in most cases, the first chronologically organized in-depth biographical profiles ever recorded of these women. The major attributes of these women were scrutinized, their behavior patterns and physical appearances were chronicled, and their relations both with and independent of Jack London were analyzed. The effect the above mentioned six women had on Jack London was that they significantly helped cause him to portray women in a particular (and unusual) way.Thirty-eight of London's short stories which feature female protagonists were analyzed. These fictional females were studied for attributes, behavior patterns, and appearances. The final step was to correlate the attributes and characteristics of the fictional women to those of the real women.An overview of the entire study reveals three key points: (1) although usually portrayed as very masculine and independent, Jack London was a person whose philosophies, educational development, and political viewpoints were greatly influenced by the six women focused upon in this study; (2) strong evidence suggests that twenty-eight of the fictional women in the thirty-eight short stories which featured major female protagonists were modeled upon either the six real women focused upon in this study or upon other real women (Freda Moloof, Mrs. Hans Nelson whom London knew during his lifetime; and (3) although the general critical opinion regarding London's failure to create a series of believable fictional women is still valid, it is not absolute; some of the women whom London created in his short stories were modeled upon real women in his life, and their reflected real characteristics are vivid enough to make them powerful, three-dimensional, believable characters.

Esta dissertação analisa duas obras não ficcionais de Jack London: O povo do abismo (publicada em 1903) e O cruzeiro do Snark (publicada em 1911). Escritas em um período cuja construção da etnografia não havia sido ainda sistematicamente pensada, buscamos interpretar nessas obras algumas características de narrativas etnográficas, a partir da antropologia interpretativa. São observados, como suporte teórico, os preceitos do exercício etnográfico, segundo autores como Clifford Geertz, James Clifford, Franz Boas, Bronislaw Malinowski e Roberto DaMatta. Para que contextualizemos esta pesquisa, são abordadas as realidades socioculturais dos Estados Unidos durante o período de vida de Jack London (1876 – 1916), assim como as características da antropologia no final do século XIX e início do século XX. / Submitted by Ana Guimarães Pereira (agpereir@ucs.br) on 2015-11-12T17:04:27Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissertacao Marcos Mantovani.pdf: 8345127 bytes, checksum: db1b4a86f0e08f59fd3d57c972891ad5 (MD5) / Made available in DSpace on 2015-11-12T17:04:27Z (GMT).

Written over a period during which ethnography’s construction hadn’t been systematically elaborated yet, we aim to interpret these books as having some characteristics of ethnographic narratives, according to the interpretative anthropology. As theoretical support, the precepts of ethnographic exercise are observed, according to authors like Clifford Geertz, James Clifford, Franz Boas, Bronislaw Malinowski and Roberto DaMatta. To establish the context of this research, we analyze the socio-cultural realities of the USA during the life of Jack London (1876 – 1916), as well as the characteristics of anthropology at the end of the 19th century and at the beginning of the 20th.

George Sand est une écrivaine du XIXe siècle qui s’est engagée socialement au moyen de l’écriture. Pour elle, le journal est un instrument efficace de démocratisation. Elle a publié une quarantaine de romans-feuilletons dans différentes revues. Ainsi, le lectorat de l’auteure s’est vu élargi et elle a pu vivre de sa plume. Les articles qu’elle a écrits lui ont permis de diffuser ses idées sociopolitiques. Comme dans ses romans, Sand tente de donner une voix au peuple. Dans les années 1840, sur lesquelles ce mémoire se concentre à travers l’étude d’une série de six articles, ― parus soit dans un journal, soit en brochure ― la tension politique est palpable et Sand doit prendre ses précautions. Elle agit donc sous le couvert de personnages-narrateurs. Ce phénomène a particulièrement guidé notre sélection de textes. Le corpus est donc exemplaire et représentatif. Certes, l’auteure s’inspire du réel, mais ses textes portent la marque de l’idéalisation et du symbolisme. L’écrivaine-journaliste concilie donc les deux carrières sans amertume. Nous démontrerons que l’important pour l’auteure était de propager les valeurs républicaines.
