This study focuses on the way in which William Barnes uses and experiments with techniques of meter, rhyme and sound, and shows how an understanding of the language of the poems, not only dialect but also standard English, is essential to appreciating the worth of Barnes's poetical output. A detailed examination of the way in which he set about composing his verse reveals the careful and self-conscious craftsman who lies behind the superficial oddities that may strike the present day reader.

Examining novels he considers representative of the English tradition from Austen to Woolf, Schur (English, Seton Hall U.) explores their representations of desire, power, and consciousness. He follows Lacan, but emphasizes the social more than the psychoanalytic, particularly looking at the intrusiveness of social power on individual subjectivity in the narratives. He finds that all the novels examine hierarchies of power in the social practices and social institutions by which and in which the protagonists live, and that these practices and institutions regular human desire and consciousness, especially through patriarchal power.
