This thesis explores the history and current condition of contemporary young adult literature. It looks at why the genre has been marginalized, especially in relation to education and scholarly critique. Chapter one places Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter alongside the contemporary fiction of Hilary Jordan, When She Woke. The discussion of Jordan's work points out the importance of the contemporary work and how it can be used to enhance learning and appreciation for it's canonical predecessor. Chapter two looks at the ghost story as written for the younger range of young adult literature, the crossover novel, and adult literature. Lisa McMann's Cryer's Cross explores how death and ghosts affect those left behind after a trauma and is targeted to a young adult audience. Laura Kasischke's novel The Raising addresses ghostly existences when a college student is supposedly killed by her boyfriend. This book bridges the gap between young adult literature and adult literature. The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold looks at death and loss from the vantage point of the dead and it's subtlety puts it in the group of adult literature. All three novels help their targeted audiences in differing ways and allows for self-exploration of beliefs and values.

TITLE: THE MOST CHARMING MUSICAL EVER WRITTEN!: COSTUME DESIGNING SHE LOVES MEMAJOR PROFESSOR: Wendi R. Zea This thesis is a collection of ideas and information surrounding the process of designing the costumes for the musical She Loves Me. The musical production took place in the McLeod Theater at Southern Illinois University from February 29th-March 3rd, 2024. The musical was published in 1963 and is third adaptation of Miklós László’s play Parfumerie. The book was by playwright Joe Masteroff, music was by composer Jerry Bock, and lyrics by lyricist by Sheldon Harnick. Chapter 1 focuses on the research surrounding Budapest, Hungary in the 1930s, as well as a look into the history of romantic comedies and an analysis of the characters in the musical. Chapter 2 follows the process of designing the costumes from conception to final renderings. Chapter 3 documents the build and rehearsal process. Chapter 4 contains my reflection and pieces of feedback from my peers and mentors. Lastly, the appendices cover all relevant research, renderings, paperwork, and show photos.
