Theater Susan Glaspell Doppelganger The Verge Tales of Hoffman First Wave Feminist Movement This study explores the use of, and reaction to, the music used in Susan Glaspell's The Verge. Through close textual and musical analysis, and by extension, historical investigation, the argument is made that Glaspell's The Verge is a virtual "shadow" play, or doppelganger, of Jacques Offenbach's opera The Tales of Hoffman, from which some of the music is taken. The exploration further contends that through the use of the hymn, Nearer, My God, To Thee, by Lowell Mason and Sarah Flower Adams, Glaspell also extends a vision of gender relations that reaches far beyond Hoffman's misogynistic, patriarchal space insofar as it creates a compellingly powerful religious viewpoint: an embodiment of the Christian Godhead, as a precursor to the late twentieth century social and existential feminist perspective. 2008-07-08 English text Bowling Green State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=bgsu1208826442 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=bgsu1208826442 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
