We have read this thesis and recommend that it be approved. iii DEDICATION I dedicate this thesis to my husband who never had the opportunity to go to college despite being a true intellectual and lover of learning.

His astute suggestions were in line with my project, so I never felt overloaded with a mountain of paper, rather that I was on track. I am so thankful that he quickly turned over my drafts with helpful revisions and words of encouragement. I know I have become a stronger writer from working with him. I began graduate school with Dr. Rochelson's course on the late Victorians. Learning about emerging modernism laid the groundwork for this period of literature that captivates me. A group project on race in that class opened my eyes to colonial discourse, which subsequently led to future papers on that subject. It was a thrilling dynamic project, which also demanded that …
