The Jezebel Stereotype
-
Ivana Obrazović In this M.A. thesis I will explore the development and meaning of the Jezebel stereotype, formed in order to control and exploit African American women. The reason I chose this topic was because the effects of it can still be seen today and are still present in everyday lives of African American women.

The Narrative Contingencies of Wilkie Collins' the Moonstone
-
Monika Švegar The paper focuses on the analysis of the narrative contingencies of Wilkie Collins’ novel The Moonstone, as the landmark of detective fiction.

The Newgate novel and the sensation novel, which was inspired by real-life crime and closely related to the newspress, could be subsumed under...
