An analysis of Hilda Doolittle's five 'Sea Flower' poems examining her social commentary through a Modernist and imagist* framework

*Note: This paper was written in 2020. Two years later, I had the opportunity to study the majority of HD's corpus, of which her early imagist work represents a mere fraction. Although she tried to expand her style beyond the imagist movement, the title "imagiste" followed her throughout her life and until her posthumous rediscovery in the 70s. I highly encourage anyone interested in her writing to explore her work beyond the Sea Garden collection.

A consideration of subjectivity in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein through the framework of sympathy, in comparison to constructions of the self developed by other Romantic writers.

An analysis of the may motif in Chaucer's The Knight's Tale written as a final research paper for ENG460: Major Authors. In this paper I engage scholarship on historical 'mayings' and examine the narrative structure of the tale to contribute my own interpretation to the discourse.

In the courses I took with Dr. Sarah Harlan-Haughey, we were asked to do an etymological exercise where we choose a Middle English word from whatever tale we were reading at the time and examined its history and connotations. Here, I researched the word "couthe" as it is used in Lybeaus Desconus.
