'Pilings of Thought Under Spoken': The Poetry of Susan Howe, 1974-1993.
No full textPhDThis thesis discusses the poetry published by contemporary American poet Susan
Howe over a period of almost two decades. The dissertation is chiefly concerned with
articulating the relationship between poetic form, history, and authority in this body
of' work. Howe's poetry dredges the past for the linguistic effects of patriarchy,
colonialism and war. My reading of the work is an exploration of the ways in which a
disjunctive poetics can address such historical trauma. The poems, rather than
attempting to reinstate voices lifted from what Howe has called "the dark side of
history", are a means of reflecting the resistance that the past offers to contemporary
investigation. It is the effacement, and not the recovery, of history's victims, that is
discernible in the contours of these highly opaque texts. Notions of authority are most
often addressed in the poetry through the figure of paternal absence, which has a
threefold function in the work, serving to represent social authority, an aporetic
conception of divinity and an autobiographical narrative. Alongside the antiauthoritarian
currents in the writing - critiques, for example, of the doctrine of
Manifest Destiny or of scapegoating versions of femininity - my thesis stresses Howe's
engagement with negative theology and with a strain of American Protestant
enthusiasm that has its roots in 17th century New England. The dissertation explores
the dissonance caused by the co-existence in the poetry of elements of political dissent
and religious mysticism. Finally, I consider Howe's engagement with literary history
and authors such as Shakespeare, Swift, Thoreau and Melville. The manner in which
Howe deploys the words of others in her work, I argue, allows for a mixture of textual
polyphony and a more conventional notion of authorial 'voice'

Joseph Howe: Principle and pragmatism
No full textThis thesis examines Joseph Howe and his role in this history of Confederation both as an opponent of Confederation and his abandonment of the repeal movement to negotiate for improved financial terms with the federal government of Sir John A. Macdonald. The core argument more specifically is that from his initial involvement with the Anti- Confederates to his entrance to Macdonald' s cabinet Howe' s actions were influenced by: a desire to protect the interests of Nova Scotia, a belief in the value of the British Empire, and pragmatism. The thesis has been organized along two chronological divisions with chapters two and three each dealing with a specific time period. Chapter two examines Howe' s Botheration Letters, selections of his correspondence, and his proposed organization of the Empire will be examined as they provide clear examples of Howe' s motivation and arguments he utilized in opposition to Confederation. The third chapter deals with Howe' s response to the British North America Act becoming law and how he progressed from a stance of outspoken opponent of Confederation to federal cabinet minister. From this the thesis' primary focus is presented, that Howe' s actions as both opponent and supporter of Confederation were consistent and driven by principle and vision while being tempered by pragmatism
