| Casteel, Sarah Phillips. "New World Pastoral: Landscape and Emplacement in Contemporary Writing of the Americas." Ph.D. dissertation, Columbia University, 2003. 253 pp. Studies the ways in which twentieth-century nature writers from Canada, the Caribbean, and the United States incorporate or dismiss long-standing European colonial ideas about regional identity, sense of place, pastoralism, and nature in their writings.Donahue, Maryann Rosella. "Modes of Motion: Travel in the Nonfiction Narratives of Twentieth-Century American Women Writers." Ph.D. dissertation, University of Tulsa, 2003. 232 pp. Examines themes about the development of a sense of identity, of "otherness," in reaction to foreign landscapes in works of travel writing by American authors Edith Wharton (1862–1937), Jessie Redmon Fauset (1882–1961), Katherine Anne Porter (1890–1980), and Mary McCarthy (1912–1989). Contrasts such thematic representations with themes about the development of a sense of marginalization and alienation in reaction to environments, places, and situations in the United States exhibited in writings by contemporary American women authors Joan Didion (1934- ), Alice Walker (1944- ), Dorothy Allison (1949- ), and Mary Gordon.Gianquitto, Tina Lee. "Noble Designs of Nature and Nation: God, Science, and Sentiment in Women's Representations of the American Landscape." Ph.D. dissertation, Columbia University, 2002. 199 pp. Studies intersections of religious, scientific, and philosophical thought governing representations of nature in botanical manuals, flower language books, travel narratives, and seasonal journals produced by nineteenth-century American women authors Almira Hart Lincoln Phelps (1793–1884), Sarah Margaret Fuller (1810–1850), Susan Fenimore Cooper (1813–1894), and Mary Treat (1830–1923).. . . |
