Where is the importance in uncovering a link between the economic position and level of familial dysfunction in the short stories of Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald? Furthermore, in composing these findings, what does this information have to offer in terms of bringing different insights to the works of these two writers who have already received so much attention from critics? In reading and researching the short stories of Hemingway and Fitzgerald, I find that published criticism has not sufficiently examined the connection between economic position and familial dysfunction. Trying to understand the psychology behind the characters’ lives and their consequential actions, however, requires us to look at this connection. One can articulate the effects and results that economic circumstances have in relation to the characters’ familial duties and responsibilities. / Thesis / Master

This is an examination of the critical reception and canonical status of Ernest Bucklers <i>The Mountain and the Valley </i> and Sinclair Rosss <i>As For Me and My House</i>. While both novels have been regarded as important works of Canadian literature,<i> As For Me and My House</i> is currently regarded as a canonical novel and <i>The Mountain and the Valley</i> is not. This study examines the notion of the Canadian canon and its relation to Bucklers and Rosss novels to show how the specific case of Ross and Buckler illustrates the process of Canadian canon formation. Through a review of the critical work produced on each novel, an understanding of trends in Canadian critical practice and theory, and the application of canon theory, this thesis examines the reasons for the differences in the reception and status of the two works. This thesis argues that the interplay between critical trends, academic interests, and literary value ultimately determines the canonical status of a text.

Abstract This thesis explores the important role that archivists can and have played in the expansion of Aboriginal rights in Canada. It situates and explores the roles played by British Columbia Provincial Archivist Willard E. Ireland (1914-1979) and the Provincial Archives of British Columbia in two pivotal Aboriginal rights legal cases of the 1960s and 1970s in the larger context of the relationship between Aboriginal rights and archives from the late 1800s to today, arguing that the role of archivists and archives in the pursuit of Aboriginal rights is neither passive nor neutral, and as such, deserves greater awareness and study than it has received in the past.
