Traitor, Traitor is a collection of poetry combining Celtic selkie myths with the Caribbean Nanny figure to construct a narrative about a widower living in the foothills of the Appalachians during the mid-20th Century. Grounded in the Romantic tradition, the poems explore the boundaries of personal power and the limits of the human will. However, unlike the traditional Romantics, this collection also seeks to explore issues of gender and socio-economic class to become a mystical poetry of witness. / A Dissertation submitted to the Department of English in partial fulfillment of the Doctor of Philosophy. / Spring Semester, 2015. / December 5, 2014. / marriage, Nanny, poetry, selkie, transformation / Includes bibliographical references. / David Kirby, Professor Directing Dissertation; Nicholas Mazza, University Representative; Barry Faulk, Committee Member; Barbara Hamby, Committee Member.
