"One of the authors who has written many good books for children is Marguerite Henry. Her stories, particularly her horse stories, are very popular with young readers, and the exceptionally fine quality of her work has been recognized and honored time after time by adult authorities. The most distinguished award in the field of children's literature, the Newbery Medal, was won by her inimitable King of the Wind. Several of her works have been translated into foreign languages, published in Braille, and made into movie scripts. Mrs. Henry was chosen as the subject of this paper because of her importance as an author of children's books. Although she has been a prolific writer in several different fields, she is best known for her contributions to children's literature and only this phase of her work will be considered here. It is hoped that a bio-bibliography of Marguerite Henry may prove of some value to others in addition to being an educational experience for the writer. The study is intended to give a biographical account of the subject, to examine her books for children, and to determine her place in the literary world as evidenced by the critical opinion and reception given her work"--Introduction. / Cover: Thelma Larche Beasley. / Carbon copy of typescript. / "August, 1958." / "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts." / Advisor: Agnes Gregory, Professor Directing Paper. / Includes List of books for children by Marguerite Henry. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 54-59).

L’alcool est un thème majeur de l’œuvre de Marguerite Duras. L’objectif de notre recherche est d’en déterminer les enjeux sur les plans de l’histoire, de l’imaginaire et de la lecture. La première partie est consacrée à la place et au rôle de l’alcool dans la diégèse. Nous examinons l’alcool durassien dans son rapport à l’espace, au temps et aux personnages. La deuxième partie aborde le caractère ambivalent de l’alcool durassien sous l’angle des pulsions. Nous cherchons en particulier à mettre au jour les rapports complexes que l’alcool entretient avec la destruction et avec la création (y compris littéraire) dans l’imaginaire de l’auteur. La troisième partie est consacrée à la « lecture de l’alcool ». Il s’agit avant tout d’analyser les modalités de la réception de ce thème par le lecteur. Cela nous amène, pour finir, à émettre l’hypothèse que la lecture du texte durassien serait en fait une « lecture ivre », c’est-à-dire une expérience qui provoquerait, chez le lecteur réel, des effets comparables à ceux que l’alcool produit chez les personnages de fiction. / Alcohol is a major theme in the works of Marguerite Duras. The aim of this research is to study Durassian alcohol from the point of view of the story, the imagination and the reading. The first part outlines the place and the role of alcohol in the diegesis. We examine Durassian alcohol in view of its relationship with space, time, and characters. The second part tackles the ambivalent nature of Durassian alcohol from the angle of fantasy. In particular, we seek to highlight the complex relationship that alcohol has with destruction and creation (including literary creation) in the author’s imagination. The third part focuses on the “reading of alcohol”. It mostly aims to analyse the ways in which this theme is received by the reader. Finally, this leads us to make the assumption that the reading of the Durassian text is indeed a “drunk reading”, that is to say, an experience which generates, in the real reader, similar effects to those alcohol causes in the fictional characters.
