Strickland's collaborative research efforts with Frederich Gerstaecker scholar Clarence Evans. Mr Strickland's papers include correspondence to and from Clarence Evans concerning their research, research notes for articles by Clarence Evans, photographs and maps which documented the research completed by Strickland and Evans on the Arkansas travels of German author Gerstaecker.
A native of Atkins, Arkansas, Strickland was familiar with the history of the area. After he graduated from the University of Arkansas School of Pharmacy in 1938 he purchased a drug sore in Plainview, Arkansas and began his research collaboration with his cousin Clarence Evans, a history professor at Tahlequah, Oklahoma. Evans recognized descriptions of the Yell County landscape referred to in Gerstaeckers' writings which described his travels in Arkansas during 1837-1842. Strickland located areas and provided Evans with the documentation of homesites, mills, cemeteries, and rivers, etc. Strickland collaborated with Evans until his death April 2, 1969.

Arthur William Upfield: a biography
No full textThis dissertation is an exhaustive account of the life and work of Arthur William Upfield (1890-1964). It is presented as a critical biography and narrates the life of the writer, in his socio-cultural milieu, from birth. It also positions Upfield as a writer who dealt with issues of Aboriginality at a time when this was a singularly polemical subject. My work is informed by the theory of Zygmunt Bauman and others and is posited in the context of late-modern biography theory.
English-born, Upfield arrived in Australia in 1911 and took work in the bush, serving overseas with the Australian army at the outbreak of World War I and marrying an Australian army nurse in Egypt. Returning with his wife and son to Australia in 1921 he intermittently carried his swag until he was employed patrolling the Western Australian number 1 rabbit-proof fence for three years to 1931. By that time he had published four novels, including two crime novels featuring his fictional creation, the part-Aboriginal, part-European, Detective-Inspector Napoleon Bonaparte ('Bony'), arguably the first fully-developed character in Australian popular fiction.
Leaving the fence, Upfield settled with his family in Perth and wrote full-time until joining the Melbourne Herald in 1933. Retrenched, he resumed career writing to be further interrupted by a war-time intelligence posting in 1939. In 1943 the first Bony mysteries were published in America, where Upfield's critical success was maintained until his death. In 1945 he left his wife for Jessica Uren, to whom he remained devoted.
Upfield's in all twenty-nine Bony novels, many of which have been translated across eleven languages, afforded him notable success both at home and abroad, in good part due to his descriptive gifts and the uniqueness of his fictional character, the part-Aboriginal Bony
The Life and Letters of William Sharp and "Fiona Macleod"
No full text"William Sharp (1855-1905) conducted one of the most audacious literary deceptions of his or any time. Sharp was a Scottish poet, novelist, biographer and editor who in 1893 began to write critically and commercially successful books under the name Fiona Macleod. This was far more than just a pseudonym: he corresponded as Macleod, enlisting his sister to provide the handwriting and address, and for more than a decade ""Fiona Macleod"" duped not only the general public but such literary luminaries as William Butler Yeats and, in America, E. C. Stedman.
Sharp wrote ""I feel another self within me now more than ever; it is as if I were possessed by a spirit who must speak out"". This three-volume collection brings together Sharp’s own correspondence – a fascinating trove in its own right, by a Victorian man of letters who was on intimate terms with writers including Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Walter Pater, and George Meredith – and the Fiona Macleod letters, which bring to life Sharp’s intriguing ""second self"".
With an introduction and detailed notes by William F. Halloran, this richly rewarding collection offers a wonderful insight into the literary landscape of the time, while also investigating a strange and underappreciated phenomenon of late-nineteenth-century English literature. It is essential for scholars of the period, and it is an illuminating read for anyone interested in authorship and identity.

The death of William Golding: authorship and creativity in darkness visible and the paper men
No full textIn the seventies and eighties William Golding was deeply responsive to the critical, anti-authorial ethos that followed the publication of Roland Barthes's "La mort de I'auteur" (1968). In Darkness Visible (1979) and The Paper Men (1984) he investigates means by which to reaffirm authorial presence. Working through paradox, he performs the authorial death in these novels, and establishes language’s inadequacy as a means of conveying absolute meaning, authorial "vision," truth or revelation. Having done so he nonetheless gestures towards the divine, towards the possibility of a vatic communication. In this manner the novels work upon principles of contradiction and collapse. What remains is a discourse of hope, promise, desire, without means of substantiating such optimism. Thus Golding might be said to have practiced a form of negative theology, and to have anticipated in this respect some recent trends in literary theory

Intern experience with William F. Guyton & Associates: an internship report
No full textIncludes author's vita"Submitted to the College of Engineering of Texas A&M University in partial
fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Doctor of Engineering."Includes bibliographical referencesThis report is a review of the author's experience as an intern with
William F. Guyton & Associates. William F. Guyton & Associates is a consulting
groundwater hydrology firm with offices in Austin and Houston, Texas. The intern worked at the
main office in Austin for the duration of the internship. The author worked on a variety of
projects during the internship. These projects encompassed general groundwater studies,
computer simulation, technical analyses of aquifer parameters, and inspection of water well
construction and testing. General groundwater studies involved the collection of water well
construction and chemical analyses data. The author wrote several computer codes to handle
basic computations, and the author used several existing finite difference codes to simulate
groundwater movement. The technical analyses of pumping test data were analyzed by the author
to determine aquifer parameters. The field work involved on-site inspection of water well
construction and involved quality control of the pumping test after construction. The author
interacted with various agencies of the state and federal government. This interaction was
necessary to many of the projects. The collection of water well data and the use of the finite
difference codes gave the author the opportunity to obtain knowledge of the daily operations
of these agencies
