The stylized, romantic song sequence — or the form(ula) of "song-dance-romance" — has remained the most visible, audible, and mobile aspect of Hindi popular cinema. Studies of Hindi film songs have taken the shape of either extended ethnographies of production practices or edite…
The concept of the author has changed over time, along with the forms of media that have been used to circulate texts. In my dissertation, I examine assumptions about writers with roots on the African continent by looking at representations of their status and function as author…
Why would a successful young novelist write the story of a failed poet told from the point of view of a sympathetic narrator, and why would this failed protagonist then become a role model for the next generation of litterateurs? Focusing on the last decades of the nineteenth ce…
The primary purpose of this study is to demonstrate that the Book of Nehemiah stands as a unified independent literary work with specific themes and a definitive message. A literary analysis of Nehemiah will show that the book stands alone as a historical narrative. The book, as…
Work which takes from elsewhere forms an important thread in European art music. There is a long tradition of music which variously borrows, thieves, pastiches, plagiarises, ironically ‘retakes’, hoaxes, impersonates and appropriates. The music I have written for Off the edge, w…
The thesis argues that there is a pressure on the authorship concept since the emergence of collections of facts, anthologies, and adaptations of pre-existing works. These works were the reason that Judges offered various interpretations to authorship and originality, as some Ju…

Though a growing body of scholarship situates contemporary literary authorship within a romantic tradition of writers attempting to distance themselves from the market function of their texts, focusing on postcolonial writers shows that anxiety about commercialization is not the…
For some nineteen hundred years, people have pondered and debated the identity of the author of the Epistle to the Hebrews (or Hebrews for short). Tradition and popular belief hold that the apostle Paul was the writer. Throughout history, however, many scholars have been skeptic…
The study is a response to an increasingly popular view that New Testament pseudonymity was an innocent literary device that was not intended to deceive. The plausibility of this theory is examined in relation to the disputed letters of Paul. The question to be answered is: "If …
This dissertation examines legends about the transmission, destruction, and restoration of the Homeric epics and the Hebrew Bible. I document how ancient literary historians conceived of the origins of their sacred and traditional texts, and argue that the notion of the “author”…
Editors’ contributions to literary creation are too often understated or overlooked. Most of the existing conversation in regards to editors is either purely biographical in nature or else discusses editing as a practice entirely separate from that of authorship. While one must …
“Jane Porter in the Margins: Paratext in the Romantic National Novel” argues that Romantic novelist Jane Porter uses paratext in her national novels to accomplish bold political and personal goals. I examine her most famous novel The Scottish Chiefs (1810) as a case study of Rom…
