In it, I have examined imagery, characters, actions, setting, style and form for symbolic significance, showing how these help establish or reinforce themes, create moods, or provide insight into the minds and emotions of the characters. Besides revealing that Miss Glasgow consciously employed symbolism throughout her writing career, this study also shows the continuing development of certain themes and certain related symbolic patterns. / 2031-01-01
