Dissertation
Supervisors: Professors Jane Marcus and Ramón Saldívar.
The work of memory in Marshall's novel concerns the history of
slavery on a fictional Caribbean island; the work of memory in Wolf's novel
concerns the history of fascism in Germany shortly before and during
World War II. Following the feminist tenet that the personal is political, I
claim that memory in these two novels always works simultaneously along
personal and political lines, which are inextricably linked and continually
inform and re-shape each other.
