Anne Bradstreet's works have survived the tides of critical opinion, high in her own century and low in the nineteenth, and have found a steady flow of approval in more recent years. Although she was not a great poet, she was a significant minor poet, and she deserves to be remembered for the aesthetic merit of her work, not for being the quaint Early American antique she is often considered to be. Perry Miller says that "every collection of American poetry must s alute the lyrics of Anne Bradstreet." To establish a reliable text of her works is the pur pose of this edition [TRUNCATED] / 2999-01-01

The goal of this thesis is to shed light upon a particular style of writing, namely the rhetoric of the extreme, which characterizes the oeuvre of Anne Hebert. Many facets of this rhetoric are reflected in her work: the use of words referring explicitly to the notion of the extreme ("toujours", "jamais", etc.); formation of isotopies (extreme wealth or extreme poverty); dualistic themes; ethical polarisation; the elaboration of strongly contrasting characters (Bernard and Heloise in the novel Heloise); and the use of the trope which unifies two extremes: the oxymoron. / Rhetoric, in the modern sense of the word (following the work of the Groupe Mu, Gerard Genette and Roland Barthes) enables, on the one hand, a lexical analysis of the vocabulary of the extreme (such as "toujours", "rien", "pas un", etc.), and on the other, through the character analysis of Elisabeth Rolland, heroine of Kamouraska, renders the repeated use of the oxymoron meaningful. / Finally, the adoption of a holistic viewpoint highlights an evolution in her style. Given the possible juxtapositions inherent in a Manichean universe (opposition in her earliest and latest works, union in her three novels from the 1970s), two different worldviews are revealed which correspond, for the author, to two stylistic modes.

Med Raewyn Connells maskulinitetsteori som grund syftar Rikards soffa till att undersöka och uppmärksamma porträtteringen av manliga karaktärer i ett urval av Anne Charlotte Lefflers skönlitterära verk. Lefflers författarskap ses ofta som kvinnocentrerat varför ett intresse väcktes i att analysera hur bilden av dess manliga karaktärer kan se ut i och med ett begränsat utrymme. Huvudfrågor är bl.a vilket/vilka manlighetsideal som beskrivs och hur de kommer till uttryck i texterna samt huruvida karaktärerna utvecklas eller ej under författarskapets gång.
